Saturday, July 11th-Annual meet
ing Of Highland Grange Corporation.
Other meetings and exercises and
popular lectures and entertainments.
held outside the lecture hours. will be
arranged as may be found calculated
to promote the pleasure and profit of
attendants.
The only regulations of the school are
that each lecture shall be followed by
free discussion by all present who
choose to take part. Such discussions,
however, must not be followed by any
formal vote of approval or disapproval
OF any doctrine, policy or person.
The adoption Of this principle was the
foundation of the great educational
success achieved at the first session. 1t
eliminated the element Of strife for per-
sonal victory or public aid to special
causes. The object sought was always
the ascertainment Of the simple truth
The spirit displayed was a desire to
learn, and not an effort to convince. 1t
is desired that this shall always be a
distinctive feature Of this school, and of
others which the Grange hopes to see
established in other parts Of the State.
CAMPING THIS SEASON.
Highland Grange corporation does not
expect to occupy the permanent grounds
the present season, for lack of funds.
About $1,000 viii be required to pay for
the land, pipe the water, erect tanks
and obtain tents and floors. This will
proceed only SO fast as there are funds
to pay for it. to provide which the cor
poration relies on the public spirited
citizens Of the State. The people Of the
Highland district wiz do all in their
power to aid In this work but the enter
prise is beyond thir unaided means, and
the camp is for the benefit of the public.
and not for the neighboring people.
1t has therefore been decided TO camp
this season upon property belonging to
the President of the corporation, and
adjoining the new building. Some work
is required to fit this ground for occu-
patton, and to defray this expense a
ground rent OF 81 per tent will be
charged. Accounts Of expenditure viii
be kept, and any money received in ex-
cess of expenditure for this purpose
will be paid into the treasury Of the
corporation. There viii be no charge
whatever for the use of the land Tents
with floors will be provided at a rental
of 81 20 per week for a 10x12 tent.
Those brining their own tents may have
