o. s. Cass-"Yes, I attended the
State Dairyman's Convention at Fer
gus Falls last week and found it very
interesting and profitable. l not only
learned a great deal that was newto
me but had confirmed by those who
have practically tried it, great deal
that knew but had not put into effect.
These conventions are valuable to any
farmer who is interested in making his
farm profitable. II is one thing to
read how certain things should be
practical farmer tell you face to face
that he has done them and found them
practical and profitable. believe in
reading The best authority on dairy

profitable satisfaction in listening to

and are doing these very things"
In connection with the annual meet
ing of the Minnesota Educational
Association to be held in St. Paul,
December 26: q, and %, most of the
higher educational institutions of the
state will hold reunions of alumni,
former students, and teachers. The
Winona Normal school reunion will
be held in the parlors of the Windsor
hotel at p. m. on Wednesday, De-
.eember 20. The faculty OF the school
and, as now expected, all the expires
idents of the institution will be present
to receive. The presence of every one
who has ever been connected with the
school is desired for this occasion
which promises to be a most pleasant
one.
Fred Kottke, manager of the Meire's
Grove creamery, was in the city yes
terday. He says that he paid out over
S29, 900 TO patrons of the creamery,
and the stockholders received a divi-
dend of twenty per cent. The business
is expanding month by month, and
Mr.. Kottke says that the creamery is
having marked effect in raising the
grade of mich cows. The benefit to
the farmer is very apparent, outside
the cash receipts. The general crops
are improving, and as a result the
farms are becoming more valuable
year by year. Mr.. Kottke will attend
the National Dairymen's Association
to be held in ST. Paul in February.

Sank Centre might be an educational
center, and why not? 1t will not
likely ever be a large manufacturing
center. It's increase will come largely
from the agricultural districts from
people coming in for the purpose OF
educating their children. This being
railroad center, and convenient of
access, students might be drawn here
from the surrounding country through
its reputation for it's superior educa-
tional facilities, would it not be agood
investment in the interest of the
schools if means could be provided for
the opening of the public library for
the distribution of books every even
ing of the week? Besides the present
arrangement making it very hard for
the librarians, it is also inconvenient
for the pupils of the public school who
would avail themselves of the library
privileges during the week. Thus the
library would become more closely
allied with and a kind of adjunct or
adde nda to the public school, and its
Importance and usefulness would be
enhanced. The more these reference

ical, biographical and scientific sub
jects of which the library now is
getting to have valuable collection,

We have reason, we repeat, to be

REV. C. E. SMITH SAYS:

/ wish to speak, Mr.. Editor, OF the
efficiency of our public schools in COM
parisou with those of Alexandria
which I recently had the pleasure OF
visiting. We ought to be proud OF
our graded ard high school under its
present efficient management. We
have an exceptionally excellent and
conscientious board of teachers here,
and large enrolment of pupils and
our schools seem to grade up equal to
the best. The new school building at
Alexandria, costing about $14. GOO, is
almost perfect in its arrangement and
gives an advantage. In itself it is
conductive to the interests of educa-
ton. People take pride in it and
teachers and pupils can do better work
in such building. 1t is suggestive OF
neatness and order in the school room
and magnifes the Importance of edu-
cation in the mind of the pupil to say
nothing of the comfort and health OF
the scholars where heat and yentila-
ton can be regulated and the danger
GUS draught can be taken off the floor.
think I observed there a greater
interest in the school on the part OF
the citizens in the way of school vista
ton. Teachers in our schools in
order to do good work need the OUT
spoken sympathy of the parents; not
fiattering words but that which shows
and trusted instructors. A faithful
teacher Is notand cannot be fully paid
for the service rendered in the school
room, growing out of a conscientious
desire for the improvement. Sympa-
thy and appreciation on the part OF
the parents bring out of the teachers
heart that over-plus of personal inter
est in the pupil which is the most
valuable part of teaching.
The pupils cannot get this higher
service out of teachers heart only
through this manifest parental inter-
est. Also to visit the school is to
understand something of the perplex-
tiles of the teachers situation: the
almost infinite patience required and
to observe the disorderly and nerve
trying mischevous proclivities of the
boy or girl when in the schoolroom,
who may be a model of propriety at
home. The visit stimulates the in
terest of the pupils in their work.
Anyone may see this, especially in
visiting the lower grades and witness
ing the animation which shows itself
in the faces of the pupils.
I think that our city public library
and reading room arrangement are
superior to those of the neighboring
city, although | understand their
library Is open on two evenings of the
week instead of one. as here. We
have reason to be proud of our public
library. Who in our city will i'm

The Peoria Herald Transcript OF Fri
day says: General Passenger Agent
Batty Of the Iowa Cen.ral was in the
city yesterday, looking after several
matters Of more or less Importance con-
nected with the affairs of the road at
this end OF the line. From what could
be cleaned from Mr.. Batty, it is not
thought that there are any develop
ments in the proposed removal Of the
general officers from Marshalltown to
Peoria. 1t is understood that the mat
ter is practically at standstill, and
that nothing more will be done for some
time at least. General Manager Clarke
expressed himself as not entirely salts
fled with the prospects when he last
visited the city, and It Is not known
whether he has yet been reconcilad.
Peoria wants the general offices Of the
Iowa Central as badly as she ever did,
but there ID nothing more to do save
wait patiently. They will come In time.''
