nesdag And Thursday Evening.

Superintendent Nye's class Of school
ma'ams,is very much in evidence this
week. In fact. they may be said to
have taken the town. Morning, noon
and night our streets are thronged
with young ladies and misses. with
here and there boy thrown in for
variety. But all have the charmingly
demure and far-away look, the digni-
fled, commanding air that unmistak-
ably mark the country school ma'am.
A Sunday school convention of half
the size would make more noise in a
day than the whole institute does in
week. One little by 10 old-fashion-
ed quilting party could give the entire
institute pointers on talk.
INSTRUCTORS.
The conductors of the institute be-
sides Supt. Nye, who has general
charge. are Prof. Brier of River Falls
Normal school, Prof Meisnest of the
university of Wisconsin and Prot

ment, Reading, Arithmetic and Or
thoepy; Prof. Meisnest teaches Lam

view toward helping teachers to intro
duce singing in their school work.
