chapel.
Miss Pardee will be unable TO be in
school the remainder of the year on
account Of her health.

diplomas and certificates.
The following points of interest
were noted by the class in Geology on
a trip TO Hudson Saturday, June l:
On the way out through Mann
Valley evidences seemed 10 Indicate a
considerably thicker material deposit
of glacial material than abounds
about River Falls, filling up the
valleys and making the mounds APP
| pear lower, This deep soil growing in
part from the Trenton limestone OF
the mound and the finer material left
by the retreating glacier accounts for
| the richness of this section.
The next point OF interest was the
| fine exhibition of KETTLES" through
region about half way between River
Falls and Hudson. These consist OF
great mass of debris in the form of
gravel, sand, etc, left by the retreat
| ~ ha of Gnnapiap f.tanipr which
reached this vicinity through the st.
Croix valley. The name above refers
| to the form in which the material was
| left. In this region it was noted that
we passed from the region of
Mounds such as we see about River
Falls composed of st. Peters sand
stone capped by the Trenton lime
stone and that now the ridges were
formed by the lower Magnetism lime
stone.
The main object of the trip,
however, was to examine the PotSdam
sandstone which is so nicely exposed
along the road passing down into
Hudson. Here numerous specimens
were collected showing the character
and to some extent the life of this
earliest unchanged deposit shown in
this part of the globe.
In the railroad cut near the old
depot a fault" in the rock was
examined. Though probably of a
superficial nature il illustrated this
geological feature very well. In "a
deep cut in this vicinity, through
drift. there was evidence OF an inter-
val between two Glacial epochs, con-
SiSting of blackened stratum
indicating vegetable growth after the
glacier that deposited the lower por-
tion and before the one that deposited
the upper portion.
