Mothers kindergarten Meeting.

Mothers kindergarten Meeting.
Friday afternoon, in response tC
Miss Lucy Peckham's invitation tC
the mothers, about twenty-five Iadie:
gathered in the kindergarten room
After an interval passed in socia
greetings, and in inspecting the work
Of the children, Miss Peckham spoke
briefly on the subject of mothers
clubs in connection with the work OF
kindergartens. The Mothers Meet
ing is a connecting link between the
school and the home, between which
there should be no break. This is only
possible when teacher and parents
work in close harmony. The mothers
clubs Of other cities were instanced
and the subjects which are discussed
in them. In one of the Duluth clubs
games are played at the weekly meet.
ings: thus the mother becomes
thoroughly imbued with the kinder
garten spirit of teaching through the
plays of the child, and is enabled to
make his home plays not only an
amusement but a help to him.
Miss Peckham suggested that at the
meetings of our own mothers club
to which all are invited, however, in
spite of the name-some special sub
iect should be discussed at each meet
ing, one of the mothers leading. This
time music was chosen. 1t was shown
how large a part music plays in the
kindergarten, where there is a song
for each of the seasons, and for rain,
snow. etc. AS the child said once,
why don't We have a dust song? We
have a song for everything else"
Miss Anna Fortune followed with a
paper, showing the purpose of music
in tile kindergarten. 1t is a we'll
known fact, that the child is very
sensitive to impressions: these he re-
ceives in the Kindergarten form a
basis for all future tastes, therefore 1t
is very important that all music he
hears there should be of very high
order. All the music tends toward
the child's development, physically,
mentally, and morally. One of the
leading characteristics of all kinder
garten music is the spirit of love
which pervades all the songs-love OF
family. love Of animals, etc.
During the reading Of the article,
several Of the fayorite songs were sung
in illustration, by Miss Peckham and
her assistants. Mrs. Thatcher accom-
panying on the piano.
After some discussion Of the effect
of music ON particular children, Mrs.
Thatcher was called on to report what
she saw done this summer in some of
the large cities in special music classes.
In those classes the effort is to train
the morals through song, and some Of
the results are very interesting.
One of the kindergarten songs, a
lullaby, was sung by Mrs. Thatcher,
after which all joined in singing one
of the favorites among the little ones,
The meeting was brought TO a close
with a good-oye song, by the young
lady assistants.
The ladies seemed much pleased
with the Mothers Meeting and voted
| TO held them once q month.

HASTINGS 5O-River Falls @.

Some people think that the above
statement tells it all, but it doesn't
| begin to tell it. Ye scribe does not
intend to tell it either, although he
was there and watched the game.
And it was a game, one Of those you
will never forget, if you are fortunate
enough to see it. Below is a partial
| report Of it.
The day was raw, with west wind
| blowing a hurricane directly along
the length of the field. 1t was 3:45
when the game was called, and the
two teams faced each other. The
Falls has been comforting itself with
the thought that it has heavy foot
ball team, but Hastings is heavier,
about three pounds to the man. And
its excess of weight counts, because
its men are so evenly balanced. In
the center of the line the advantage
is slightly with the Falls AT tackle
it is a stand-off, while at ends and be-
hind the line Hastings is away super
ior. Hastings won the toss and chose
the west goal with the wind at their
backs The game was furious and
fast from the start. For the first ten
minutes, the ground was fiercely con-
tested, with the Falls promising to
give their opponents hard run for
the game. Then Hastings got line
on the bali, and never let it up.
Touchdown followed touchdown in
rapid succession, and at the end of
the first half the score was 80 too. In
the second half Linehan was hurt and
retired, Ames taking his place at
right half. 1t was then only ques-
tion of score, and three more touch
downs were added to the Hastings
side 1t was nearly $50 when the
game was ended Hastings made but
slow gains through the Falls line, and
were frequently stopped for loss when
they tried it. But their end runs
seldom failed to make from 4 to 20
yards. Their interference was superb
and massive Their play was quick
and accurate. Their training and
team work was magnificent. The
players were gentlemen, and the
game was clean and good throughout.
The boys from the Falls put up the
game Of their lives but their light
ends and backs could not stand the
terrific rushes of the Hastings inter-
ference. Yet their play was clean,
accurate and swift, but they had
neither the weight, speed nor endur-
ance of their opponents, but they
played a splendid, plucky game for
all that. Rosenberg. d. Linehan,
A. f. Morgan, Elliot Houston, and
Boucher played star foot ball, and the
team as a team has nothing to be
ashamed of in the game. The time
may come when they can meet Hast
ings again, and then-but wait.

Tuesday afternoon the Normal
people and many other denizens OF
the city went to the depot to say fare
well-and Godspeed to President w
| D. Parker and wife upon their de-
parture for San Diego, California.
The feeling manifest on both sides at
this parting is an evidence of the
strength Of the attachment existing
between the people and Mr.. and Mrs
| Parker for these manifestations OF
friendship were not the mere formal
courtesies of social etiquette but the
genuine and spontaneous expressions
Of sincere and loyal regard
During the most of the time for
the last twenty-three years Mr.. and
Mrs. Parker have been residents of
this city and have taken an active in
terest in its social elevation and ma
terial advancement, adding refining
| influences and ready helpfulness by
their forcible but unostent atious per-
sonalities.
AS president of the Normal School
Mr.. Parker was in his proper element,
a work most congenial to his tempera-
ment and disposition. To the sue
cessful development, attainment to
and maintenance of high standard
| of this institution he gave the full
measure of his ability and the affec-
tion Of his heart. He familiarized
himsel with the multitudinous de-
tails Of the duties involved in the sue
| cessful operation Of the school and
nothing that affected its veal escaped
his attention, his instant apprehen-
sion and his immediate application
with judgement and zeal. Instant
in season and out of season" he work
ed for the good of the school quietly
but effectively, and in the acknow-
lodged results accomplished was a
host in himself.
Perhaps one of the most marked
features of Mr.. Parker's influence in
the school is seen in the profound i'm
| preston made upon the character of
the individual pupil by his magnetic
personality. Not only did he inspire
respect but the most complete conf
dence. His fatherly regard in the
interest of the pupil was reciprocated
by fllal reliance and trust. This
made it easy for him TO secure atten-
ton, zeal: to arouse a pervasive emu
lation, to obtain a loyal devotion to
exalted ideals. and to succeed in
broadening the area Of mental vision
among the students. Every person
who had ever come under the in
fluence Of his tutelage considered
| President Parker personal friend
who never failed to give him instant
and constant aid when needed. His
long and whole souled service to the
interests of the Normal School is
recognized by the patrons, pupils and
all the people living within the sphere
Of its benefcent influence. The
record Of his work-his teaching by
precept and example-his benign in
hueuce, are intaglios in the hearts,
and the monument to his memory is
the flial regard enshrined in the af-
fections Of the three thousand stu
dents whom his labor Of love has ad-
yanced to higher apprehension.

MANILA, p. l., Sept. 20, '98.
Mrs. Clarer Rirer Falls, HIS.
Dear Madam The day before the
battle of Manila, the 18th Of August,
| promised your son, Harry, that if
anything happened to him during the
remainder Of our campaign l would
convey the news to you. The time
has come that / must perform that
painful duty Harry was taken SICK
with typhoid fever about a week ago
and died at 2:30 r. NJ. yesterday, Sep
TENDER 18th.
l obtained permission to go with
him to the hospital and stayed with
him to the end During his short i'll
ness he remained unconscious most OF
the time and suffered but little. Like
a weary child falling into nights
slum bers he peacefully passed into
eternal sleep. The funeral took place
this morning at 10 A. NJ. lie was
given a Christian burial with full
military honor. The company turned
out in a body and escorted him to his
final resting place.

as brave as a lion and never shirked
from his duty. His brilliant qualities,
amiable character and congenial dis
position won for him fast friends
wherever he went. He was honored
and respected by his officers and loved
ley his comrades. The place which he
held in the hearts of his comrades,
the members of Company A, can
never be filled. The company wish
me TO extend to you all their kindest
sympathy in your bereavement, with
promise that stone shall be erect
ed to his memory before we leave

THE BATTLE WON.
A Light Vote but Election Goes

Wisconsin Republican by over
10000.
Legislature Will Elect Republican
Senator-We Get All the Congress
men-pierce County Elects a Re.
publican Ticket by i,400 Major
ity: St. Croix County by 800

Reports Of the election indicate a
very light vote in all the states, the
falling off from former years affecting
both parties in about the same pro-
portion. In this city but 255 votes
were cast in the four wards as against
45l two years ago, and in the town of
River Falls but 90 this year to 296 in
1896 In the whole county about 5000
votes were polled to $500 in the last
presidential election. The majorities
in the county run about as follows:
Scotield 1850, Jenkins 1850, Morse HOO
and the balance of the ticket about
the same as on assem- blyman. In the
city (omitting lst ward in st. CroiX
county) Scofeld for governor has
100; Sawyer 81; Chain II. Lieut.. Gov.
Stone l67; Deuster A, Cooper II.
Congress, Jenkins 1866; Mathews 40
Assent bly,, Morse l57; White 50. In
the town of River Falls the poll
stands: Scofeld 81; Sawyer 10 Jen-
kins 6S; Mathews 10. Morse 80; White

The Republicans carry about all the
states they had two years ago and add
| to their column most Of the north
western states that voted for Bryan
in 1896. Washington, South Dakota
Nebraska, Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming
and Kansas seem to have returned tC
the Republican fold. Lind, fusionist
is elected governor in Minnesota but
the Republican ticket with this ex
ception is elected, with a solid con.
/ gressional delegation Roosevelt is
elected in New York. The 56th con
gress will be Republican in botL
! branches, and on the whole the result
Of the election is very satisfactory.
o. W Mosher, Republican, is elect.
ed to the assembly in st. CroiX Co.
Roosevelt carries 81 of the 81 coun.
ties in the state of N. Y.
The Senate of the United States on
March 4th will have Republican
majority Of IA.
Populism is awful sick. The in.
dications are that not one of the 35t
congressman elected Tuesday belongs
to that party.
The legislature of this state as de-
| termined by the election of the 8th
will stand: Observation-Disclosures,
81; Democrats, 10. Senate-Repub-
