A report has gone forth that the
brewery here is to be turned into an
ice house. The reporter has evidently
been mlsinformed for Mr. Barnatt OF
Milwaukee, the owner, was here over
looking the property with a prospec
tive buyer who intends to again open
the brewery to business.
Mr.. Il. d. Coe in the Milwaukee
Sentinel accuses W. ID. Hoard of look
ing at the rural school question
through blue eye glasses. Mr.. Coe
evidently, has used green ones for his
letter shows about as much practical
kno wledge of the subject as was ex-
pressed by one of our institute con
ductors this winter when she admitted
that she knew nothing about rural
schools.
The literary and musical exercises
and debate given under the manage
ment OF the teachers of the town OF
Centervllle at Mills Hall Friday even
ing was pronounced success. The
hall was filled to its utmost capacit,
and the audience was al appreciatiye
one When looking around on that
sea OF intelligent and interested faces
present one could not help but feel the
beauty and grandeur of our country
schools and appreciate the great re-
sponslblilty resting upon the SHOULD
ers OF those who teach them. One
great power of our rural schools fol
doing good, which is too often over
looked, lies in the success Of Just such
gatherings, where patron and teacher
meet with an exchange of ideas fol
mutual benefit and advancement.
venture to say that there are very few
people in this world who do not re
ceive some benefit from such gather
ings both morally and intellectually
and whose conception of the wore
citizenship has not been made clearer
thereby.
Because it has been held iD a hal
sometimes used for dancing does moi
make it degrading; neither does the
argument hold good that because
pieces are spoken from a platform anC
music is present it is theatrical per
Torrance and should therefore be-
crowned upon. No, our views of lif,
should have higher and wider range
We owe thanks to the Germania Cor
net Band for its share in making the
meeting success and to Mr.. and Mrs
Streat for the use of their curtains.
