The tri-county Association that met az
Neche on Friday was a grand success in
points ofnumbers and interest. Some 16s
teachers were registered and the pro-
gram as published was carried out ane
much instructive and interesting discus
sion interspersed. Supt. Jackson, Irons
lin, and Spoonheim were the managers
and DR.. Richard Burton of the Univer.
sity of Minnesota was the star. His lee.
ture on the "Place of Literature in Edu.
cation" and his original order and re.
marks during the session evoked much
interest on all sides, The paper by L. P.
Strong was decidedly pessimistic as to
"value received" in public school and col.
lege education, and provoked the strong.
est criticism. But he made the teachers
think anyway. All the Pembina teachers
except Miss Nixon, with Misses Bessie
Jackson, Grace Parker, Birdie Wardwell
Antoinette Branchaud, and Messrs Mayo
Ashley and ]. D. McCaffery were present
and speak highly Of the hospitality of the
Neche people.

lady fingered so long to make her
search complete that she sank TO the
floor. overcome by suffocation, and
was barely taken from the building in
time to be resuscitated.
To be assured that no one had per-

notified to come the next day at the
appointed hour of meeting. Naturally,
large concourse assembled, and it
was a very pathetic scene as they
stood. cast down with sorrow. before

The roll was called and every name

silence pervaded the gathering, n
sweet voice rang out in accents clear,
