SUMMER SCHOOL NOTES.

The Misses Grant and Dunken are
the latest enrollments.
This is the third week of the school
and both wheat and tares have grown
sufficiently to be distinguishable, one
from the other.
The inspector spoke highly of the
per cent. of teachers enrolled saying it
was the best showing among the coun-
ties which he had visited.
There have been number of with
drawals, but those remaining seem to
be imbued with greater interest and
energy on each succeeding day.
There is no exception to the rule
that all who are regular attendants
now are earnest workers. They do
not need to be placarded to make the
fact apparent.
The drills in pedagogy, model class
work, general lessons, etc., will prob
ably seem like old friends to the
teachers, for it is given out that at the
State examination there is to be two
solid hours OF work on professional
quirements.
One OF the most interesting features
OF the week was the talk on ''School
Decoration" by Supt. VanDyke. of
Moorhead, one of the training school
inspectors. Mr.. VanDyke is very en-
thusiastlc over the subject and in his
talk said that his idea of decoration
was to have nice pictures in the school
room, display of any neat handiwork
of the scholars. and some work in the
line OF flowers for the yard. He does
not think that any one, much less
teachers, should be content with anv
such pictures as patent medicine ad-
vertlsements, etc. Samples of pictures
costing from one to twenty-five cents
were shown, merely as samples of what
can be obtained for few Cents It is
a good idea for teachers to own the
pictures and introduce them in each
succeeding school. In this way new
subjects will be brought up each term.
Some effort should be made to study
the meanings of pictures and the child
brought to read the beautiful thoughts
painted as we'll as those written,

| The midday temperatures were mod
crate till the 2lst when they were
high, especially in the Red River val
Icy. The splendid filling of the heads
of spring wheat with grain of good
quality is reported in all sections, but
the straw is very short except in
especially favored sections. A consid-
cradle acreage of wheat was plowed
under or mown before the rains came,
and plowing is still going on in Mar
shall county. Spring wheat harvest
began in one of the south central coun-
ties on the 10th, and harvest will be
general in all but the northern coun-
ties by the 25th. Many wheat fields
are very irregular in condition, and
occasionally there is to be seen in the
same wheat field all stages of growth
from the forming head to the fully
ripened grain. Most of the barley is
IN shock. The oat crop is generally
poor; much is nearly ready to cut, and
a great deal is already cut. In many
fields of oats, stooling began after
the rains fell, and while the stools are
green and forming heads, the parent
plant is ripe. Early flax has improved
considerably, and some is turning
color. Haying is nearing completion;
the crop is very light, and in southern
counties some of the unsecured crop is
spoiled by rain. The condition of for
age crops is good, and on the farm
they will largely supply the deficiency
in the hay crop. Pastures are great
deal better. Corn and potatoes are
doing excellently. Apples continue to
drop off, but generally the crop is
good one

The Report of the Weather Bureau for
the Week Ending Monday.
There were light and much scattered
rains in the northern half of the State
IN the middle and latter part of the
week; in the Minnesota valley and
thence southwark, the rains were
moderately heavy, and in few places
very heavy, and they continued over
from the last days Of the preceding
week till about the 10Th, and in some
places till later date, with danger of
loss to shocked grain by sprouting and
discoloring, and delaying harvesting.

day and decided 10 hold the usual fair

OF having street fair but the mer-
chants interviewed did not seem to

The UNION received letter this
week from Irving Reem, serving with
the hospital corps in the Philippines,
written while he was visiting San
Dakin, British North Borneo. He
had been given a few days. furlough
and improved the opportunity to visit
his British cousins-in-arms in the San
Dakin garrison. The red coats treated
him finely, but he adds that man
mustn't say that he is Dutch when he
is with them. Although he cannot
vote at the coming election he says he
hopes the gold standard will win out

In letter from N. E. Jesmer, who
is at present visiting at Cornwall,
Ontario, he tells the UNION that he is
having most enjoyable vacation. So
far in all the towns he has visited, bic
and little, he has not yet found a town
that comes up to Princeton for busi-
ness hustle. None of the towns of the
size of our village can boast of as fine
buildings and indeed most of the larger
ones are lacking in this particular.
He is visiting his old home where he
was born in l849 and says that the 80
years which have elapsed since he left
it, have removed many of the old land
marks and the old place doesn't seem
natural. Both he and Mrs. Jesmer
are in good health, but he says they
both feel little homesick when thew
receive the UNION, for after all there
is no place like Princeton for them.

The annual school meeting which
was held at the high school building
last Saturday night was a very quiet
affair. G. H. Rines was unanimously
elected director again for the ensuing
three years. The appropriations for
expenses were all cut in two except the
provision for text books which remains
the same as for last year. This will
not affect the wages of the teachers,
but will probably work a nice reduc-
tlon in the rate of taxation. The re-
port of the treasurer showed a balance
on hand of about $4,000, as against less
than half that amount year ago.
There is but one bond for $1,000 out
standing and the officials are feeling
very good over the condition of affairs.
