Byinvitation of the w. c. II. U.
Rev. c. II. Burnley, pastor of the
Presbyterian church at Hudson, gave
a lecture of far more than ordinary
merit at Opera Hall on Sunday
evening last. The subject of the
lecture was Good Citizenship. The
lecturer began by showing how what
the world may deem for time succe IS
proves at the last but ruin in fact.
From this the deduction was sharply
drawn that only in right doing and
right living is there real success ana
true citizenship. The use of intoxi-
eating liquors as "a beverage and
Sabbath breaking are two of the
greatest sins of our nation to-day and
such as will inevitably at the last lead
TO ruin unless the good men and women
arise in their might and compel a
better state of things. From begin
ming to end of the lecture it was
listened to with wrapt attention by
the audience. Mr.. Burnley is man
who has always something to say and
he says it with emphasis and effect.
Having strong convictions he speaks
with the assurance of one who knows
he is depicting the truth He will
be always welcome to a River Falls
audience.

Second Term Report of the River Falls
Public Schools.

The results of che lork done during
the second term of tt ) public schools
are, very gratifying 10Th to teachers
ana pupils. The general averages
obtained on examination are much
higher than on preyieus examinations,
and the humber of failures is COM
paratiyely small. The average per
cent. of attendance was 90 which is
remarkably high for the winter
term. Hardness was worse than
usual, the number pr cases for the
term being 343.
The Board of Education supplied the
grades with suitable supplementary
reading, and thus put these schools on
an equality, SO far as materials are con-
cerned, with the bese public schools of
the country in this respect. Scudder's
Fables and Folk Stories, and Hans
Andersen's Stories 'were put in the
third grade, Hawthorne's Wonder
Book in the fourth grade, Irving Rip
Van Wrinkle and Legend of Sleepy
Hollow in the fifth grade, Hawthorne's
True Stories from New England in
the sixth grade, Longfellow's Eyange-
line in the seventh grade, Whittier's
Snow Bound, and Longfcllow's Miles
Standish in the eighth grade.
1t is difficult to Indicate the extent
to which the interest and pleasure
have been increased in the study of
reading. The pupils Of the lower
grades are fascinated by those old
stories which have become part of
our common heritage from the
childish age of the worlds history.
The pupils Of the upper grades who
do not care to read disconnected
extracts, or short stories, which are
the usual stock of al st school readers,
now feel that they Ire getting some
thing which all mex prize highly as a
part of our common knowledge, and
the reading lesson has become one of
the most delightfuPof their studies.
Through the efficient work of the
first and second primary teachers last
year and the continuation of the same
quality Of work this year, we were
able TO overcome difficulty which
greatly impeded the progress of pupils
in these grades. Too many classes
existed, pupils were held back too
long, and consequently the first and
second primary grades we're over
crowded. An extra promotion was
made Jan. %, and thus one year was
gained for all the pupils in the first
and second primary grades, and at the
same time the crowding in these
grades was largely overcome.
While the work of the term in
general shows progress and industry
on the part of the pupils and teachers,
the schools are not without defects,
but an active interest on the part of
the patrons can remove such defects
and secure as high a quality of work
in the River Falls public schools as is
secured in any otfhr school of their
kind.
Below are published the names and
averages of al ths pupils from the
High School to I've fourth grade
inclusive.

accompany it. This of itself will
make it indispensable to business
