Aberdeen Will Celebrate.

Aberdeen will celebrate the glorious
Fourth Of July this year. This was de-
termined unanimously at meeting of
the citizens at the council chamber Mon
day night. That it will be celebrated
in a manner benefitting the occasion and
these eventful times goes without saying.
When it comes to patriotism, or hospital
ity to visitors, Aberdeen cannot be out
done. An invitation will be extended to
to the entire county to participate in the
festivities, which will be projected on a
graader scale than ever attempted before
on the Harbor. A committee, consisting
of N. G. Kaufman, A. A. Brauer and
Bob Lowry was appointed TO solicit funds
tor the celebration, and the success they
are meeting with is very flat,ering.
This committee is to report to the citi-
zens meeting at the council rooms tomor-
row night at 8 80. Every citizen in ABB
erdeen, interested in the success OF the
undertaking, should attend this meeting
at which the various committees will be
appointed. The committees in charge OF
the work will have the assurance that
the people OF Aberdeen are behind them
if they are selected by large meeting OF
the citizens, therefore it is urged that all
who can possibly attend be present at the
meeting tomorrow night.

Kick From the Wishkah.

Mr.. ED1roR-As subscriber to your
valuable paper, take the Ii liberty OF post
ing the HERALD and the public Of this
part of the county, in regard to set OF
sneak thieves who are operating on the
Grand Forks of the Wishkah. Men en-
ployed at the terminal camps, as gen.
eral rule, leave their effects at the ware
house, to be packed out. In spite OF
locked doors their rolls of blankets and
valises are opened, and anything worth
taking is purloined. Not only that, but
provisions are stolen by the wholesale.
Twenty men at Waldron's camp, who
had been two weeks without butter and

can of milk, sent up by the proprietors,
had been stolen by these thieves. We

days meeting of the section at the Cen
tral presbyterian church, after some dis
cuSs1on. II. E. White, of Princeton. in
opposing the resolution stated that there
were some subjects that must be dis
cussed by the superintendent and that
could only be discussed when they were
assembled as a body. Supt. J. A. Tor

uon' declared that it did little good for

ly.- Mr. -GoOdrGh said that the law could
not reach ALI the essentials required to
make good teacher, and laid, perhaps
too much stress on the intellectual SIDE
This was important, indeed one of the
essentials, but It was not all. He epito-
mixed in his address as the four essen
t1als: Intellectual preparation, character,
good health, strength and experience,

were all necessary to success in teaching.

movement was started by the graded
school section which promises to end,
sooner or later, in thoroughly reorganiz-
ing the State Educational association.
In the past it has been customary to
appoint nominating committees both in
the general association and sectional
meetings, to select the officers This, 1t
is claimed, has put the Minnesota Educa-
tional association in the hands of
clique, and it has been freely asserted,
both in and out of the association meet
Ing, that there was altogether too much
politics mixed up in the inner workings
of the organization. In fact 1t was
openly stated at the meeting of the grad
ed school section that the fact that the
association had less han a tenth of the
teachers Of the state interested and TAX
ing part in its sessions was due largely
to the belief that the association is run
by a few.

devise change of method for the cleo

ton reported resolution calling for a
popular ballot. AS one schoolmaster put

The general session at the Central Pres

with prayer by Rev. A. B. Medium, and

Mayor Kiefer welcomed the teachers,
and said he hoped that In the future st.

the teachers of the state, but pay his
own teachers for all the year.
President ]. D. Bond said the year Just
closing had been a successful one for the
cause of education generally. A serious
question arising, however, was how much
mslstence should be made upon the high
school course. Another was what sub
jects should be considered essential in
the elementary schools. The conclusion
reached was that the subjects that should
be taught were reading. writing, arith-
met1c, English grammar, geography and
history, with some of the literature of
the child's country, and the elements Of
civil government. Music drawing, me-
chanieal training, nature study enriched
and reinforced these studies, but were
not of themselves essential
