9In South America there is also a
good sale for American manufactures,
but the American is hindered there
by the fact that he has the advantage
of no good banking facilities. The
English are there in large numbers
and are able, on account of their
banking facilities, to sell on longer
time than the Americans can. The
motto of the manufacturers in this
country seems to be quick sales on
a small margin

The Industrial Commencement.

It was the good fortune of the Re
publican editor editor to attend the
commencement exercises of the first
class to graduate from the State Man
ual Training school at Ellendale'
There were three graduates, Flora
Millham, Ina Randall and Miss Fait
The court house was handsomely
decorated for the occasion, aud the
essays Of the graduates were far
above the average.
After the, graduating exercises
which were held in the court house
came the banquet at the school build
ing. About sixty invited guests
among whom were Senators Sharpe
of LaMoure and Little of Bismarck
sat down to the tables. All the feas
of good things was prepared by tat
students in the cooking class at th'
school, and when one had partakel

Supt. Crocker of the Westland Ed
ucator gave a characteristic talk that
always finds favor with his audience.
He contemplates making the Edu-
Gator the most needful companion of
the course of study of the common
school.
Miss Flora Mcdonald OF Glendale
made the subject of literature in the
grades very interesting and claimed
for the theme the highest educational
value. A cultured mind, filled with
pure emotions, is an index to noble
character. The paper was a practi-
cable one as we'll and named the
books that it is desirable to place in
| the hands of the children in the sev.
eral grades. The question whether
the child should read fiction was an
swered in the affirmative in the dis
cussion of teachers, and the books
sent out by the travelling libraries
came in for little censure, The
teacher was again charged with di-
recting the reading of the children, in
and out Of school as far as possible,
Prof. Crocker of Cakes, discussed
he recitation period and gave valu-
a BILE suggestions to teachers for the
strong preparation necessary to hold
the attention of children and make
t he most of the recitation. 1t was
thoroughly discussed by several per
sous.
The next meeting will be held in
Ransom county in the fall.

The cooking is only part of the
manual training of the school, but
upon The same principle is taught all
kinds of manual labor. AS the
teacher expressed it: "There is no
such thing as good luck or bad luck
in cooking. 1t is simply matter of
knowing how, and then doing it that
way The girls are taught cooking,
sewing, garment making, painting,
drawing and decorating. The boys
take lessons in drawing, architecture,
turning in wood and iron, carpentry,
and general work in wood and iron.
Samples of the work done were on
exhibition, and showed both excellent
training and execution.
The object of the work of this
school is to train the youth not only
in the books Of the school, but also to
use their hands in the execution of
what is learned in the books. The
education is practical and beneficial
to all who take advantage Of it. The
school will start next September with
increased facilities and will no doubt
soon be filled to the limit with pupils,

Southern Teachers Association,

The first meeting Of this organiza-
ton at Oakes, Saturday, was we'll
attended by the teachers of Dickey,
LaMoure, Sargent and Ransom
counties, and the papers read in the
Academy of Music were prepared by
the excellent talent in this section.
Miss Helen Harris Of Oakes sung
several choice solos for the guests
and the meeting showed its full ap-
precietion of her kindness and her
rendition of her selections.
In tie forenoon Prof. Moffatt of
Milnor discussed penmanship and
drawing in the public schools, and
he urged ably that greater time and
care be given these branches. He
did not condemn the vertical system
and dwelt much upon the proper
training Of the child in movements in
writing, discouraging the finger
movement. In drawing he would
have the student work from nature
and objects.
Miss Sanderson of LaMoure dis
cussed the paper and gave her ex
perience in teaching it in the primary
grades.
Miss Eva Jarvis of LaMoure reac
a we'll prepared paper on nature
study that was thoroughly enjoyed
by the teachers. 1t was clear, con
else, and strong in the plea for some
form of this observation in the com
mon schools. Supt. Crocker of Lis
bon commended the idea that it ii
desirable to teach nature study al
months of the year.

up for the placing of sewer pipes.
You can imagine what this means
when I tell you this city has had
open sewers since it's foundation.
These Mexicans are queer people.
So highly civilized in one sense of
the word, and yet with some of the
most primitive methods.
Doctor and enjoyed the most de-
lightful drive this morning up the
Pasco de la Reforma. The beautiful
boulevard laid out by the unfortunate
Macmillan and Carlotta. The trees
are Of a wonderful height and form
an archway overhead, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the drive is very
wide. We visited Chehautopec, the
white house of Mexico. It is built on
the site of the palace Of the Aztec
ruler, Montezuma, 1t is high up on
rocky mound and from it's windows
may be seen a picture so unsurpass-
ingly beautiful as to beggar descrip-
tion. In every direction extends the
plateau, entirely surrounded by
mountains, Sixty miles away Popo-
catalpetil, snow capped, lifts its proud
head.
The city itself reminds one Of the
picture Of an old Egyptian city. The
architecture is of that low, fat, square
style.
The people seem to have very
high regard for Americans, and ape
them in many ways. They have an
excellent police system. The mem
bers of the farce are so vigilant that
if l, for instance, were so unfortunate
as to be run over by car, would be
taken to the Jail first and to the hos
pital after. They arrest people for
the most trivial. l..things.
We had planned to go to Vera
Cruz and Tampico but could not as
yellow fever had broken out there.
The climate is delightful here and
in spite of the fact that we are in the
torrid zone, we wear wraps oil day
except from about II to 3. The food
is abomnible, and I have not had a
g ood meal since we came. We have
met many nice Americans. / can

trymen SO far away from home. We
