A PROSPEROUS MERCHANT.

B. ID. Grant, who occupies one of the
stores in the Odd Fellows new building
with fine line Of hardware of all de-
scriptiOns, has in the last five years
forged ahead in the business field in
Princeton in very rapid manner and
to-day he has secured a firm foothold
in the business community of this
place. It was fifteen years ago that
Mr.. Grant came to Princeton and he
found employment in T. H. Caley's
store as tinsmith, which position he
held for good many years. About
five years ago he began to ''paddle his
own canoe' and started in business in
a small way, by doing little odd jobs of
tin work. He put him up a bench in
the blacksmith shop where Buck &
Cravens are at present, and hung out
an old boiler and few pieces of tin
ware just to let the public know that
he was in the repair business Mr..
Grant was popular and found enough
to keep him busy and he soon dis
covered that his business was growing
and he was obliged to move into
store of his own, opening in the little

Cicero, Vergil, plane geometry, solid

bra, (one-half year, German grammar,
German literature, history, English
literature, botany, physics and chem
istry.
1t aims to offer a course that will
give a practical training and at the
same time fit pupils for the various
courses of the college and university.
Its graduates are admitted without ex-
animation to the State University and
other colleges of the State. In fact to
nearly all higher institutions of learn
ing in the United States. Besides ample
reference books for the work in the
classics, history and mathematics, it
has we'll equipped laboratory for work
in chemistry, physics and biology.
Among the new equipment lately ad-
ded is the apparatus necessary for
X-ray work.
Miss Louisa G. Patterson is principal
of the high school department and
teaches Latin and English. Miss Helen
Moody teaches mathematics and his

taught by the uperintendent, H. E.

that the strength Of a system of schools

opera house, with large stage, ample

in a first-class opera house. The first

store uses, where are carried full and
complete lines Of dry goods, notions,
clothing, boots and shoes, hats, gro
ceries, crockery, glassware and car
pets. The entire front is of plate glass,
electric lighted and steam heated,

customers. 1t is one of the largest
stores in central Minnesota. equal in
every particular to many of the large
city stores, and goods are sold just AS
cheap. The number of clerks en-
ployed is from six to ten, and the
volume of business transacted is very
large. This emporium of trade is the
pride OF the town. Mr.. Jesmer is a
native of New York state, and came
here thirty-four years ago.

encouraged to say that the institution
is now in a position which offers fine
prospects of future success and the
realization of the aspirations of it's

the next four increased appreciably
and the increase this year is still more
marked. The enrolment in the first
four grades simply indicates that there
are so many children of that age in the
district. The enrolment in the next
four indicates to certain extent,
whether che interest of the pupil has
been aroused and held or not. For, if
it has not the pupil will leave school
as soon as possible.
It is aimed as far as possible to make
the work of each grade complete in
itself. For even under the most favor
able conditions many children must
drop out before they reach the high
school. 1t is the policy of the Prince
ton schools that it is better for pupils
in the second and third grades to learn
the multiplication throughout than to
have hazy knowledge of theory of
the operations in fractions, and that
thorough training in the mechanical
processes of fractions is worth more to
the pupils OF the higher grades than
an Indifferent knowledge of the more
unused ones.
The following are the grade teach
ers: Miss. Margaret l. King, eighth
grade: Miss Florence Ketchem, seventh
grade; Miss Mary Larkin, fifth and
sixth grades; Miss Maud Murdoch,
fourth grade; Miss Martha Galley,
third grade: Miss leila Davis, second
grade: Miss Alice Jones, first grade.
The manual training features of Kin
dergarten work are taught in the first
grade. Miss Murdoch also acts as
principal of the Whittier building.
There is also an ungraded department
at the brick yards, where work below
the seventh grade is DONE Miss
florence Davis is teacher.
Princeton can point with pride to
few facts concerning her schools.
Financially they are in condition that
the schools in few other towns can
boast of, with ample equipment and
room for several years to come. The
district is without IL cent of bonded
or other Indebtedness, thus insuring a
rate Of taxation lower than that of
surrounding towns. But above all she
can be proud of the loyalty of her peo-
pie to the schools. Good instructors
are after all only incidental. The peo-
pie must b. back of the schools if they
are to progress.
1t was the pleasure Of the writer to
be present at the annual school meet
ing few years ago. The election of
the trustee was unanimous. In the
discussion of financial matters there
WAS desire to be economical, but no
one suggested, nor would even the
heavy taxpayers without direct inter-
est to the school consent to cutting
down of the tax levy to a point where
the work of the school would be i'm

Minnesota, ranking among the first
three states of the union in educational
matters, is justly proud of her schools.
This rank has not been attained
through the strength Of her colleges

are of the best, but through the big
schools in the smaller cities and viii

What a Forty Did in Three Years.

A forty" that would enhance in
value in three years 1922 an acre would
be considered a pretty good thing and
so it is. Three years ago Aug. Rines
sold ''forty'' five miles from Prince
ton for So per acre, and only a week or
so ago this same land sold for $50 per
acre. This is quite rise, we will ad-
nit, but you see it was dirt cheap at
So, and is worth all of $50 now, if not
more. Land is worth what it can pro-
duce, providing there are any markets
handy, and for this reason most all the
really good land in the vicinity of
Princeton is worth on an earning basis
all of $50 per acre.
