the knowledge, that go many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis

Prof. SCOTS Last Lecture,

The last lecture of the Normal
Course delivered by Prof. Scott on
Friday evening was fitting teImina-
tion of a most successful lecture en-
gagement. The subject of the
lecture, Socialism, was ably handled
by the speaker, who in the fairest
manner presented the view of the
subject most favorable to the Social
lists, after which he briefly and
effectively presented some grave OBJ
jections to the practical administra-
tion of the socialistic theory in affairs
of government. His explanation of
the wide difference, the diam T,cally
opposite views of the ocalists aud
anarchists was lucid and satisfactory
and in showing that while the social
ist desires to transfer to government
all industrial enterprises. the auaIch-
list believes in the sufficiency Of the
individual and the absence of re-
straining laws.
At the close the Professor was
warmly applauded and a set Of
resolutions, expressive of satisfaction
with the course, introduced by Mr..
Will Lusk was promptly adopted.

The Northwestern Teachers


The Northwestern Teachers As.
ISOLATION will hold its fifth annual
session in River Falls, March 30, 81,
and April /.
With the exception of the State
Teachers Association. this body, is
the most important teachers
organization in which the teachers of
Northwestern Wisconsin are interest
ed. When The State Association dis
continued its summer meetings in
1889 it YVES with the expectation that
corner associations would be organiz-
ed in different parts OF the state, thus
bringing these important meetings
nearer tc the masses of teachers,
MANY u whom did not feel able to
attend the State Association. The
expectation was soon realized and
the first meeting of the Northwestern
was held in Eau Claire in the spring
of 1891. Since that time the sessions
have been regular, interesting and
profitable.

proposed as a place of meeting, but
always with the result that larger
city, possessed of more ample hotel
accommodations was finally selected,
Chippewa Falls, Superior, Menomonie
| and Ashland having been the places
| chosen, in the order named, for these
gatherings. 1t now remains to be
seen whether the efforts of those who
have been instrumental in securing
the meeting at this time have been
| wei, directed. There are no doubt
accommodations in River Falls for
| the 250 TO 800 teachers from outside,
if the residents care to show their
interest in the meeting by opening
their homes TO the members.
Nearly 200 places have already been
secured, through the Normal School
channels of information, and about
100 may still be required. GratuiLous
entertainment is not asked. The
teachers will be willing to pay a
reasonable compensation, probably q
dollar a day.
The meeting here is matter OF
considerable consequence TO the
educational interests of River Falls

Prof. +. w. Vol, of the University
of Wisconsin, has just completed a
bulletin entitled 1.-THE Maintenance
of Soil Fertility: Commercial Fertil-
izers," which will be published at the
end of the month as Bulletin No. 40
of the Agricultural Experiment
Station. The state fertilizer law
which went into effect on December
/, 1895, requires manufacturers and
dealers in commercial fertilizers to
take out license for the sale of their
goods in the state, and to guarantee
their composition. Tire law directs
that chemical analysis be made of the
licensed fertilizers and that the
results be published in a bulletin
during the spring of each year. Prof.
VOLTS bulletin, in addition to the
statement of analysis of licensed
fertilizers for 1896, gives compre-
hensive discussion of the subject of
soil fertility, how it is maintained,
methods of fertilization, kinds of fer
tilizers available, etc. The subject is
ore of vital importance to all farmers,
and persons interested who are not
already on the mailing list of the Sta
tion should write for copy. This. as
well as all other publications of the
Station, is sent to all citizens of the
state upon request. Address Agricul-
