cessful session held. The first sub
jeet Introduced was ADJUSTMENTS

by Ernest Walker. Mr.. Walker
read paper replete with sound
sense, good judgement and was
full of helpful suggestions. He
showed himself to be thorough
student of school work, and man
imbued with the best results to be
obtained from hard work. Miss
Bessie Dodge followed in the dis
cussion. and introduced many new
features. Miss Lillian OFT, from Au-
dubon, then read strong paper on
"Should Arithmetic be Taught in
the First and Second Years?' The
paper showed study and prepare
ton and close study of psycholo-
gy, showing why the minds of the
pupils were not prepared to take up
real arithmetic. and it was best to
teach by objects.
In the remainder of the session
those who were to have read papers
being absent, the topics were each
taken up and discussed by all.
Taking it all in all it was live,
wide-awake meeting and all pres
ent were stimulated and helped.

Andrew Allen At Rest.

Death has entered another home
and called to rest one who has will
lingly and patiently toiled that he
might earn the common comforts
of life and leave a competency for
his family. He, who had been a
true companion to wife during
the years of their marriage and an
indulgent father to his children,
has passed over this cold, dark river
of death that separates a short fleet
ing time on earth from that invisi-
BILE and invisible world without end
where all dwell in peace and JOY
and happiness, reveling in that
deeper and more abundant and
abiding joyous rapture and ecstatic
and peaceful delight that has been
promised to those who conform
their earthly lives and earthly work
to the principles and precepts of the
Maker and Ruler of heaven and
earth.
Andrew Allen, the loved departed,
dear to his wife and children and
intimate friends, was born in Swe-
den in 1888. For years he has lived in
Audubon county on farm east OF
town. During the past year he has
not enjoyed good health, and for
some time it could be seen that his
life was slowly wearing away and
that he would soon pass to his re-
ward, and the end came on Friday,
March l, 1901. He leaves wife and
one daugeter who are burdened
with grief, the natural and unavoid
able attendant of death. The tuner
al sarvices were conducted at the
home, Sunday afternoon, by Rev
Charles Walker, after which the re
mains We're brought to Extra and
