his seat to the older one, and the
same is true of the girls.
About 8:15 the feelings of the wait
ing audience were relieved by the
enlivening strains of the string
quartette, violin, mandolin and two
guitars, played by Messrs. Nc
Clintock, Mcdonald, Shaw and Rob-
inson.
Architect Herry Wildhagen, of
Ashland, who drew the plans for
the building, was present, and re-
fusing to be heard, modestly per-
.mitted himself to be seen, and then
bowed himself out.
Next followed an artistic render
ing of piano duet, by Mrs. W. w.
Jones and Miss Minnie Anderson,
the selection being an overture from
'Rosamunde" by Schubert.
1t was a good natured and en-
thusias tic audience that greeted
Pres; W. Fl. Smith, of the school
board, as he rose to make the open
ing address. He began by giving a
brief account of the events attend
ing the building of the Garfield
School, and said that it was one in
which the people might take a just
pride. But, = said Mr.. Smith,
Something more than good school
houses are necessary to make good
schools; we must have good teach
ers.' The speaker paid pleasant
compliment to the present teaching
force as well as to those OF past
years, pointing to the fact that the
students from the Washburn schools
had always given a good account of
themselves in the higher institutions
of learning and as teachers in our
public schools. He further said
that the hearty cooperation of par
ents was absolutely essential to the
success Of cur schools He closed

The Garfield School was dedicated
last Friday evening with appropri-
ate exercises. Long before the hour
appointed for the program, even be-
fore the opening of the doors, des-
pite the intense cold, large crowd
had congregated at the new build
ing. Many of those who came early
improved the time by viewing the
fine display of pictures on the first
floor, secured by Supt. Jones from
the Beard Art and Stationery Co.,
of Minneapolis, for the occasion.
There were over two hundred of
these beautiful pictures, consisting
of photos, platinos, carbons, arto-
types, engravings and the celebrat-
ed Elson prints. They completely
covered the walls of the large pri-
mary room from the floor to the
ceiling. 1t was a collection rarely
seen outside Of the larger cities.
In the cosy and well lighted library
was the private collection of Miss
Edith Hosmer, of the Lincoln
School, illustrating the decorative
work done by the teachers of that
and other schools in the city. This
collection was the subject of much
favorable comment.
The far sighted members OF the
crowd hadsssized up the seating
capacity of the room in which the
formal. Exercises we're to be held
and had proceeded to pre-empt part
of the limited space, SO that when
the time had arrived for the begin
ming of the program the room was
crowded almost to suffocation. In
fact the participants in the program
were almost unable to gain admis-
sion.
AS usual. the small boy was
there. occupying his usual amount
of space. but it is to his credit that
nearly every one of him gave up

The Insurance Paid.

On the 18th inst. notice and proof
of the death of George Theriault was
mailed here to the head office Of the
Independent Order of Foresters at
Toronto, Canada. On the 26th a
draft for 81, 600, being the amount of
insurance the deceased had in the
order, was received by the officers OF
the local court 1t was promptly
for Narded to the mother of the dead
man, who was the beneficiary named
in the policy. The l. 0. F. evident

death losses.

ample of a poor boy who could sup
port a widow mother and at the
same time secure an education that
fitted him for the highest office in
the gift of the nation. People who
have known Mr.. Smith only as a cap
able business man were surprised to
discover in him the symptoms " of
an orator. The address was re-
ceived with much favor, and the
speaker has been kept busy re-
ceiving the congratulations of his
friends.
Miss Lorena Prudhomme, accom-
panied by Mr.. Ewing McBeath,
sang "The Flight of Ages" BY
voice and manner Miss Prudhomme
captivated the audience. Her voice
is clear soprano of great range
and in it she possesses something
worth cultivating.
Mr.. Nels Nelson, vice president of
the school board made brief but
eloquent remarks. He is always
heard with pleasure, and this oc-
casion was no exception. Mr.. Mel
son s interest in the welfare of the
public schools needed no confirma-
ton, but his address showed that he
is in favor of everything that will
increase their efficiency.
The instrumental quartette played
'Dinah's Jubilee" Two Step that
set the feet of the audience going.
Miss Smith, Superintendent, fur
nished food for reflection in frank,
straightforward talk concerning
the needs of the school. It is hoped
that her recommendation that
pupils do not enter schools until
they are six years of age, and only
at the beginning of the year, may
bear fruit.
Fred E. Goddard rendered the fine
baritone song afterwards by
Mullen. Mr.. Goddard, always a
prime favorite with Washburn
audiences was in excellent voice and
never sang better.
Principal Cameron of the High
School was felicitously introduced
by Supt. Jones, and after a few
happy preliminary remarks which
put him at once into the good graces
of the audience, gave a most ex-
cellent address or Garfield the
Student and Teacher. He spoke of
Garfeld's natural affinity for water;
of his attempts to Become a lake
seaman and his final resort to the
life of a sailor on the raging canal"
He dwelt upon Gartield's early
struggles to obtain an education,
and upon his great influence afer he
became teacher in Hiram College.
He suggested that Gar6eld's birth
day be annually observed as Gar
field Day" by the pupils of the
Garfield school.
The closing numner Of the pro-
gram was piano solo, The Song

of the Swallows by Ewing Nc
Beath. 1t was a beautiful selection,
exquisitively rendered and thorough
ly appreciated.
After a few words of thanks by
Supt. Jones the audience rose and
sang America. Then while the
mandolin orchestra discoursed
sweet music the audience passed
slowly down stairs, some taking
advantage of the Olsen bus went
Immediately home while others
fingered to enjoy the pictures.
1t was most successful affair
and will be long and pleasantly re-
membered.
The Garfield school is a four room
building, constructed of brick, with
brownstone trimmings The in
terror is finished throughout with
birch. 1t is heated by Mueller fur
naces of the most approved pattern.
The ventilation and sanitary ar.
engagements are as near perfect as
they can be made. The black
boards are of slate. The library is
on the first floor and is provided
with book cases made of birch. The
building is electric lighted. This
fine building reflects great credit
upon the architect, Henry Wild
hagen and the contractor John Hal
loran.

VOLUME XIV.

With the issu9 of this week TIE
Progressive Farmer enters it's fifteenth
volume. We thank our readers and
friends for their very generous sur
port during the year Just past and
pro mise them that the paper in the
a newspaper year upon which we have
entered shall be conducted upon the
principles of independence and enter
prise marked out tor it by Col. Polk in
it's frs5 issue fourteen years ago.
Serving nc master, ruled by no fac
ton, cIrcumecribe1 by no sifsh or
narrow policy, It's aim will be to foster
and promote the best interests of the
whole people Of the State"
The present editor assumed entire
editorial control Of the paper about
seven months ago. To the advance
ment of the paper along the lines
noted above he has devoted all his
powers and energies For the hearty
support given him by the friends of
the paper and by the agricultural in.
terests and press Of the State he is
deeply grateful. We enter the new
year with brLliant prospects. Not
since the death Of Col. Polk has the
paper increased in circulation so rap
idly as lt has during the seven months
past. Hundreds of new subscribers
have ben received and the old guard
has cheered US by prompt renewals and
words of encouragement. Keep it I'D,
brethren, and you will double the mum
Der Of Our subscribers before our
next anniversary.
The success of the paper refutes the

that he will support no paper that
dares condemn the wrong in ell par

and that the paper that dares oppose
