Industrial School Notes.

Notwithstanding the unpleasant day, a
eoodly number Of busy little girls were
grouped around the teachers in the Indus
trial School last Saturday. The girls are
making rapid progress in their work. which
is tribute alike to the pains-taking care OF
the teachers, and industry OF the pupils.
Next term the ladies in charge OF the
school propose to take up the kitchen
garden department OF the work. In speak
ing OF an entertainment given by the school
in that city, the Kalamazoo News says:
Another useful adjunct is the kitchen
garden. under the charge OF Mrs. Babcock,
who teaches four classes i'm the art of table
setting, busting, sweeping, laying fires,
making beds. etc The girl. are furnished
with toy set, OF dishes, and are taught
how to do everything "decently and in
order Miss Stevens assisted at the piano.
The girls wore white cap, and did their
work nicely.
The browning work OF the afternoon,
however was in the spread given by
twelve little maids in the kitchen, six OF
whom made the raised biscuit with which
the guests were served, delicious coffee,
with whipped cream, Il delicate snow pud-
ding and two kinds OF cake, both nicely
frosted. The guests were seated in the
dining room and were waited upon by six
other girls with snowy aprons and CAPS.
The table wa, daintily set with bouquet,
OF heliotrope>, gloxinias and large vase
OF nasturtiums, while roses, ferns and
ground pine were laid upon the cloth.
Mis- Phelps feels Justly proud OF her part
in this branch OF the work, while too much
credit cannot be given to Mrs. Utcrmark,
who superintendent the kitchen work all day
and is very faithful and efficient.

was urged TO become Il candidate by
friends from Saginaw, Ann Arbor ano
Ionia, who were present at the state
teachers institute held here Il few
weeks ago, who know of the great work
he has done in the cause of education
Prof. Ewing was born near Sparta
Illinois, about sixty years ago. lie was
graduated from the University of Mich
igan in 1864. During his senior year
he supported himself by teaching i'll the
| high school in Monroe, where he was
known as teacher of great ability.
After his graduation he was called to
the superintendency Of the pubic
schools in Perrysburg, o., where he re-
manned for three years, resigning his
position there to take charge OF the
schools III Saginaw City. He remained
in Saginaw until 1871, when he was
called to Ionia, where he remained for
sixteen years. In each of these cities,
by his ripe judgment and untlrlng
energy he brought the schools up to the
highest standard of excellence, and the
public schools of these places bear to
this day the impress of the grand work
he did in them. On the establishment
OF Alma College he was called TO the
chair Of Physics and Pedagogy, and has
since devoted all his time and energy to
promoting the interests of the college,
and not little Of its success is due TO
his work.
In the thirty years that he has been
engaged in school work in this state he
has always been TO the front III every
movement started for the purpose OF

Among the most prominent features
which he has been prominent in en-

tried successfully in the Ionia schools
He has always been active and success
full in institute work and his long eXper-
fence with the work of the board Of

Il keen insight into the needs of the
country schools. He was president of
the Association Of City superintendent
in 1855, and of the State Teachers Asso-
citation III 1887, and III each position rem
dered valuable service.
If elected to the office of Superintend-

tive ability, and untiring energy which
has characterized his work during his
long and faithful service.
