Thatcher in making tour OF the
r,nblic schools and visited !each
room.
To begin with the public schools
0f Little Falls have four buildings
Central. Columbia and Hawthorne
IN the East side of the river ana the
Lincoln on the West side. The
Central is frame building. the
oldest one in the city, and as the
old system of heating with stoves IS
still used there tie heating ana
yentilating is not Of the best. Ihe
other three buildings are OF
brick and in them the most I'M
uroved systems of heating ana
ventilation are used so that the
rooms are kept at an even temper
ature throughout the day ana the
ventilation is perfect.
The first room visited at the
Central building was the high school
room. in which there are 63 pup'is.
Miss Ashley. the principal. Is IN
charge uf this room and is assisted 0y
Misses Jansen and Shepherd. Ihere
are two recitation rooms adjoining
fine high school room, and the three
rooms are we'll filed all OF the time.
Next spring a class of five or six Will
graduate from this high school ana
be fitted to- enter the freshman class
of the state university. Three OF
the number at least will do $" next
fall.
Miss Mary Meyers has charge OF
the grammar department ana mas
about 4S pupils. Our call was uh-
expected, yet everything was IN
ncrsect order and moving along
as quietly and perfectly as one
could wish.
The sixth grade is in charge OF
Miss Jennie Brown and about So
pupils receive instruction there daily.
This is her first year in the schools Oh
this city. but she is making success
of her work.
In the fifth grade we found Miss
Kate Meyers with room 1ul'-o>
pupils i'm u rather small room. Inc
order was perfect and we are IN
formed that the work being done in
this room is excellent.
Grade four is also crowded ana
Miss Barlow has 60 pupils to LOOK
after and impart knowledge to. 1t
is O. task from which many would
shrink, but the teacher has hal ex-
perience with these same children FOR
several years, and they are making
rapid advancement.
Grade three is located in the most
uncomfortable room in the building,
and in charge of Miss Lena Olson
who is now teaching her third term
in the Littl. Falls schools. which is
Il proof of her ability as u teacher.
There are 81 pupils in this small
room. Light is obtained from the
windo VS. in the rear and part OF one
side. while at times it is necessary to
keep lamp burning.
Grade two is in charge of Miss
Jennie Carey, who for eight or nine
years has held a position in the
schools of the city and in this same
building. There are 40 pupils in this
grade and they are advancing us rap
idly as any pupils in the building.
In grade one, or the first primary,
we found the little tots. There are
40 of them, in charge of Mrs. Baxter,
just learning their letters. 1t is their
first year at school. but the teacher
has much patience with them and
the little ones are kept interested
during school hours. Some of them
are getting their first lessons In
discipline, too, but it is d Ding them
good.
From the Central we went to the
Columbia on Fourth street south
and found five tenchers employed.
Miss Ruth Tozier is principal and
has charge OF the second grade In
which there are so pupils and excel
lent work is being done here.
Grade five is in .charge of Miss
Alma Covey, who taught In our
schools two years ago. She has 81
pupils in the room and the order is
perfect. Rapid progress is being
made by all.
Grade four is in charge of Miss
Lillian Hayes, a Little Falls girl,
and this is her first school. She has
81 pupils and her work is highly
spoken OF.
Miss Velma Cramb was found in
the third grade with so pupils. They
are Just the age when they are diff
ficult to manage, but the teacher in
this grade is doing first-class work.
Miss Cora Leroy, in the firstgrade

school this year for the first time.
