The second annual report of the
Board of Lady Visitors for the current
year was presented to the Board OF Edu-
cation the early part OF this week. 1t
praises the work done in the lower
grades, and expresses the belief that
the work now being done is well calcu-
lated to form a good foundation for more
advanced work The work in the sixth,
seventh and eighth grades comes in for
some criticism and the textbooks in use
are pronounced unsuitable. Economy is
recommended in kinGergarten branches
and Mayor Starkweather's statement
that onr school principals did not teach
is shown TO be incorrect. Reference is
made to the lack Of scnool accommoda-
ton in some of the wards and the
opinion is expressed that by different
arrangement of seats more room could
be made. Referring to the rumors 90
ing around about the schools. 1t re-
cOmmends that an investigation be
held, " in order that if there is moral
guilt in our schools it should be eraGi-
Gated before further pollution becomes
pOsSible'

a Visit TO the Famous Springs.

In response to an invitation from Mrs.
L. r. Scion, we, IN company with sew
eral others, drove out to the springs,
the afternoon of the big picnic. Owing
to the terrible injury to his eye Mr..
Scion was unable to be at the grounds,
as he had planned and had hoped to
be. and his genial pleasant greeting was
missed by everybody. But Mrs. Scion
and the children were on hand to re-
ceive the visitors, and did all in their
power to make everybody welcome.
The springs, for there are several of
them, are located on the homestead,
just one mile from the station, which
Mr.. Scion took up expecting to make a
little farm and summer home for him
self and family. and while excavating
for cellar the big spring, the only one
yet piped, was discovered after digging
down in the sand but about six feet
The water soon came bubbling up
and evidenced such force that the base
ment plan was abandoned, tank made
and sunk and a pipe laid some twenty
five feet on little incline where the
water, clear and sparkling, gushcs forth
above stony well both summer and
winter. \ pretty summer house covers
crosses the overflow stream, and when
some of the other springs are Gagged and
plped to contribute to the little brook
Mr.. Scion will be able to arrange much
prettler and larger grounds than he
now has. A large rustic residence
where the family resides and entertain
their friends is located near the spring
and from the flag staff which rises from
the tower the old stars and stripes wave
triumphant and completes one of the
prettiest and, most valuable country
properties around Superior. The water
is as cold as ice, and while it has none
of the disagreeable mineral tastes,
which so many of the famous medical
springs have, it is said to contain good
medicinal qualities, and those who use
1t once never want anything else.
Although Mr.. Scion has not had this
water on the market long he already
has an excellent business, and is now
making arrangements to furnish st.
Paul and Minneapolis firms with it,
We trust that everything may turn out
just as good as he expects.
Adjoining Mr.. Solon's property Mr..
La Roy, who assists Mr.. Scion with the
barreling and shipping business, has a
fine little farm and an excellent lot of
garden truck, and has erected recently
a neat little cottage where he resides
with his family. We enjoyed very
much the ride of mile and the visit
to the famous springs. and would adj
wise everybody who goes there for an
outing to inspect the Scion properties
