pcr1mental stage peIng one Of two in the
state, the other being at Menomonie. The
expense Of the county training school is
borne jointly by the state and the county
in which it exists. The Marathon County
school closed with an average attendance
of more than forty and the total enroll
ment was fifty-six in its Initiative year.
Out of this twenty-three were graduates
and were given diplomas. In recent
article from the pen of Prof. 0. E. Wells
he says:
Whether it is destined to live and
grow depends upon what it is able to do
for its pupils, and it's appreciation by the
public. Its distinctive feature, that which
gives character and meaning to its work
and differentiates it from High school,
is the observation and practice work of its
pupils. After preliminary course in
school management and while taking the
study of methods Of teaching and psychol-
ogy the pupils are required to visit the
better teachers in the city scools and in
spect their work critically under the guild
ance Of a teacher specially trained for the
work. The results of this observation is
made the basis of reports, criticisms and
conferences with the teacher. They are
then placed in responsible positions as
teachers and made accountable for the
progress Of classes in the regular grade
work for q term Of weeks, when they are
transferred to other divisions and given
other subjects to teach. All this is done
under close and careful supervision and

The Cranberry Industry.

In Wood county, south of Grand Rapids,
there are endless cranberry marshes;
some of them have been allowed to run
out or exhaust themselves, but of late
years those engaged in the raising of cram
berries have taken to cranberry farming,
and are setting out acres upon acres, cul-
tivating them by irrigation. In many in
stances the swamps where once grew the
sour berry have been drained and vege-
table farming began. Where this indus
try is in existence it points to a long fu-
ture for the swamp lands of Central Wis
consin and Stevens Point, or rather near
Plover. Near Stevens Point a company
has purchased some SO, 900 acres of marsh
and swamp lands, and began the work of
developing farming paradise. The soil
when drained is the richest and most pro-
ductive of any in the Badger state. All
kinds of cereals can be grown and for
grazing and the raising of fine grasses
for feed no soil in America exceIs it. This
land has been practically worthless up to
the time the idea suggested itself that it
could be made valuable by drainage. Sew
eral miles of big bitches have been dug
and there are under construction in Port
age and Wood counties something like so
miles of drains, which will be completed
this summer to say nothing of the miles
upon miles Of thing that will be laid to
the main bitches.

and reproductions of paintings and all are
carefully selected reproductions Of the
work of worldfamous artists.
During the six years that the school
has been in operation the graduates from
the full course, not counting the class OF
twenty-three members graduating in June,
1900, number eighty-nine, and from the
elementary course one hundred ffty-fve.
Careful statistics, recently gathered, show
that hardly half dozen of the whole
number have not taught since graduating,
while about 80 per cent. have continued
teaching uninterruptedly since graduation,
or have attended higher institutions Of
learning. They are now engaged in teach
The same statistics show that far the
largest proportion Of students who have
attended school, but have not graduated,
have taught since leaving the school.
One Of the marked features distinguish
ing the Normal schools Of to-day from
even the best schools Of the state a few
years ago is the pride taken in the well
selected Libraries and the use made Of the
libraries by the students. The library at
Stevens Point contains about $500 vol
umes, exclusive Of the supply Of textbooks
for the school, and being open throughout
the day is constantly in use. The first
appointment Of a professionally trained
librarian for any Normal school in the
state was made in 1895 when Miss Irene
Warren was secured for Stevens Point,
and the value of her service was so evil
dent that none but professional librarians

900 a day or about 10000 900 a year, the
same company Immediately began oper-
atiOns on another mill within a stones
throw of the one shown in the illustration.
The second mill was put in operation on
Thursday, May "a, 1900. and in speaking Of
the event, the Rhinelander New North
has the following:
For those who are in the slightest degree
skeptical as to Rhinelander's great pros
perity, we would advise a walk into the
mill district and note the activity. Every
mill in the city, with the exception Of the
Como mill, is being operated day and
night at their full capacities with full
crews. What better evidence of prosperity
do we need to convince US that prosperity
and plenty abound?
The new mill erected by the Robbins
Johnson Lumber company on the site of
the old Clayton mill was given its trial
run last Thursday and a permanent run IL
augurated the following day. This new
company was incorporated last winter with
the following officers: F. S. Robbins, pres
ident; F. H. Johnson, vice president, sec
rotary and manager; r. D. Caldwell, treas
urer. The fact that the trial run proved
so satisfactory highly elated the owners OF
the mill, who are profuse in their praise
of the workmanship Of the D. J. Murray
Manufacturing company of Wausau, the
builders. From the moment the steam was
turned on, every individual part Of the
mill ran as if human and guided by some
supernatural power. 1t was the necessary
to change a pulley or belt.
In addition to this there have been addt-
tions made to the capacity of more than
thirty mills in the Wisconsin valley, down
as far as Grand Rapids. DAILY & sampson
have put in 10 1000, 900 mill, and it is max
ing it's first run this summer. Every mill

hawk, Schofield and Mosinee are running

SCHOOLS OF THE
WISCONSIN VALLEY

If there is any speciality in which the
Wisconsin valley may be said to outshine
and outrank other localities, it is in its
splendid school system. From Grand Rap
ids to Eagle River, school houses galore
greet the eye of the visitor everywhere
There are ward schools and High schools
in every city, but the seat of education
must be credited to Stevens Point, where
is maintained one Of the best State Normal
schools in Wisconsin. Its grounds and
buildings in their enlarged form will be a
monument to educational pursuits in the
Wisconsin valley and a feature of the city
of its adoption. AS an educational tenn
pie it has a splendid reputation not only
in the state but in other states and is fire.
quently visited by investigating and in
quisitive bodies, from other educational
centers.
Bearing close upon the normal, and al
though in an entirely different direction,
is the Marathon County Training school,
at Wausau, that fits teachers for country
schools. This, however, is yet in its ex-

PROGRESSIVE CITIES
And Villages From One End of the
Valley to the other.

But all the good things to be said Of the
northern portion of the state are not con-
firmed to the agricultural features of that
section by any means. Particularly is this
true of the Wisconsin Valley, where exist
such enterprising cities as Rhinelander,
Merrill, Tomahawk, Wausau, Grand
Rapids, Mosinee and Nekoosa A
spirit Of progressiveness pervades the
people of everyone of these places,
and each community has it's arms
wide open to receive and welcome new
corners in whatever line of pursuit they
may be pleased to follow. Lumber manu-
featuring is still an important factor at
most Of these points, yet there are numer-
Gus other branches of manufacturing in
dustry well represented, such as paper
mills, sash door and blind factories Zone
of the largest plants in the world being
located at Rhinelander), wood working in
situations of all kinds, flour mills,
foundries, machine shops, etc. In short,
the Wisconsin Valley is peopled with a
thrifty, progressive and prosperous class
in every walk of life and some Of her
cities are quite pretentious and metropoli-
tan-like.
The gigantic water powers along the
Wisconsin river and it's tributaries tell a
tale of wonderous wealth that has been al
lowed to go to waste, almost wholly, only
very small proportion of the power hav-
ing been developed. There are fifty or
more of these powers at various points
along the valley ranging in force from
100 to 1000 horsepower, Grandfather falls
in Lincoln county being one of the great
est natural water forces in existence. One
of the objects Of the Advancement asso-
citation is to aid in the development of
these immense powers, and of the many
uses to which they will be put. One will
