ANOTHER INNOVATION.
The First Ward School Takes Up Novel
Plan for Easure Study.


Plan for RaSure Study.
There are many indications of ad-
vancement in the educational methods
of our schools on both sides of the
river.
Debates and discussions have become
common occurrences, societies have
been organized and travel classes have
been formed in the grades.
The sixth grade Of the First ward
school has recently improved an offer
from Cornell University, n. Y, to
help organize aJuniOr Naturalist club.
This club is known as the AgaSSiz
Junior Naturalist club, No. 1859, of
Grand Rapids, Wisconsin. 1t has been
organized under the direction of
Cornell university and has been
granted a charter subject to the laws
of the state of New York. The
charter is a work of art, and besides
containing the signatures of the
directors it has large seal. 1t has
been framed and hangs in the room
The members are justly proud of it, as
it is one of the first in the state of
Wisconsin.
The purpose of the club is to study
Nature in Il manner that will lead
every member to know his country
better and love it more.
The method of work is UNIQUE
Printed pamphlets and type written
letters are sent to each member con-
tanning interesting information and
suggestions together with numerous
questions. The members study
natural objects according to these
helps and then answer directly to
headquarters. The answers are called
the dues of the club. All members in
good standing are entitled to badge.
Part of the work for April is to plant
seeds. A large sand table has been
placed in one of the cloak rooms and
every member has planted several
different kind Of seeds. Some of these
are SprOuted and the interesting work
has begun.
There are at present q members
The following officers have been
elected:
President-Bert Mcdonald; secre-
tary-Fred Emery: treasurer-Don
Shaw.
The practical value of the work j n a
club of this character among children
cannot be OyereStimated. They not
only learn to observe, to classify and to
reason but in their club meetings, to
use the proper method of conducting
a business organization and their work
in this line would do credit to
any club.

the tower, and two water closets and
basins will be placed on the second
floor and like number and style will
be placed in the basement of the cOu rt
house.

it is none the less fact that Centralia
Swelled its population along about

NEW ADMINISTRATION.
Takes the Reins of Office Tuesday Evening
New Appointments.

New Appointments.
After the meeting of the old Grand
Rapids council on the east side had
wound up the business Of the old town
the new council Of the greater city
met in the west side council rooms
and at about 9 o'clock were called to
order by Mayor GOggins who stated
that he was not aware that the
mayors appointments were to be
made at the first meeting of the
council after election until a short
time before this meeting, he therefore
suggested that, as it would be neceS-
Sary to have an adjourned meeting
within a week to transact business
that would arise in the mean time, he
would present to the council for their
consideration such appointing nts as he
had already decided upon and leave
the balance to be acted upon at the
adjourned meeting. But before he
made his appointments he suggested
that the council proceed to the
election of president, who would
preside over the council in the absence
of the mayor. A ballot was taken
which resulted in the choice of f. j.
Wood alderman from the First ward.
Mr.. Wood received 10 votes out of IA
alderman present and was declared the
new president by Mayor Goggins.
After the election of president the
mayor gave out his appointments
which were unanimously accepted by
the council as follows:
Clerk-MiltOn MOSher.
City Engineer E. /. Philleo.
Chief of POliceA-Jas. Gibson.
DaV POlicp-T3S Hewlett
ONight POlice-John Garrihee.

From the Milwaukee Journal OF April 16.
The conditions existing in Greater
Grand Rapids today, and Grand Rapids
and Centralia of two months ago, are
widely different. 1t is doubtful
whether there could be found in the
whole state two cities that were more
widely at difference on local affairs
than Grand Rapids and Centralia. 1t
was one continual strife in public and
private affairs. 1t is even told that at
the last census, when several coming
events cast their shadows before, the
census taker of Centralia kindly
awaited the reports that were expected
from several physicians of additions to
families in their bailiwickS, which

this is done, too, under the thin
pretext OF distributing in severalty
a piece Of common property
among few common owners, an
executive act much too simple and
elementary to give rise to any

sort Of tale that has the virtue
Of consistency ifnot OF entire truth.
Monday they claimed that unles

was not sent and Marcun was
therefore beaten in the temporary
organization.
After boiling the convention
they claimed a majority Of all the
delegates. Majorilies never walk
out Of conventions, but stay in and
let the minority do the walking.
II is a good deal more reasonable

we're in the majority and would
therefore control the convention,
and the minority not willing TO
accept defeat determined to bolt.
