The Women's Christian Temperance
Unions of Kandiyohi county convened
in the Atwater Presbyterian church on
Thursday and Friday of last week.
There were eighteen visitors present,
each Union in the county being we'll
represented.
Among the good things on the pro-
gram Thursday afternoon was a paper
by Mrs. Hill, which was read by Mrs.
Fouts of Raymond. Belle Gibson
also read a very good paper on ''Val-
ue of Local w. G. T. u" The speak
ing and singing by the children was
enjoyed by all, and the solos by. Miss
Wennerlund and Mrs. Cairns in the
afternoon and evening were especially
appreciated. Rev. Himrod's lecture
was on the life of Frances Willard
''The Uncrowned Queen.' It was one
of the best.
Friday forenoon the reports of the
different Unions were read, showing
a gain in membership as we'll as il

pathy have anything to do with hir-
ing teachers. It should be pure
business matter. Cheapness should
not be considered. "A good teacher Is
worthy of her hire, and a poor teacher
Is dear at any price. Educational
qualifications, while essential, are not
the only thing to be taken into con-
slderatiOn. The teachers character is
OF the highest Importance. She should
be leader, not commander. She
should be able to lead the pupil to
higher levels of morality as we'll as
OF intellectual pursuits. The speaker
called especial attention to the loose
way in which some teachers regard
their contract obligations whenever
they see chance to secure a more
paying position elsewhere. The
teacher ought to stick to her contract
till her time has expired. A spirited
discussion followed this talk, in which
Supt. Fink, DR.. Johnson, William G..
Smith, and several others partici-
pated.
State Superintendent Olson read a
paper on "Centralizing Rural
Schools he called attention to the
fact that in many localities the dis
tricts were so small that good
school could not be maintained. The
tendency towards urban life has also
in many localities weakened country
schools. Wherever for any of these
reasons school has become too
small it would be better to unite with
one or more neighboring districts and
build a large central schoolhouse.
The plan is in practical operation in
many places, and gives excellent salts
faction. With school large enough
to employ two Or more teachers the
school can be graded, and the teach
ers can devote more time to each
class and therefore do better work.
There is more Of slim illus to the pu-
pill in large class than when he is
almost alone. Where this plan has
been adopted the district hires some
men to take the children to and from
school, thus saving them from ex-
posture to the inclement weather. Two
teachers in a graded school can do
better work than three or four in small
ungraded schools, and thus the larger
district can afford to pay the expen-
ses of taking the children to and from
school.
The Willmar High School Glee
Club sang song that was greatly ap-
preciated.
The me citing as whole was very in
teresting, and we hope to see similar
gatherings frequently. Popular edu-
cation is subject Of the highest i'm
portance, and the people who are in
terested in it will often get new and
broader ideas concerning it by rub
bling up against others interested in
the same work.

L1G RUW-
Bile objection N the part Of one or two
the cheer was given, and the team
went on to the campus, entered the big
gate and dispersed to their rooms.
Edward tumbled into bed, and in
spite of the pain in his shoulder he
slept several hours. He awoke about
10 o'clock, so sore and stiff all over
that he could hardly move. He made
himself a cup of coffee on small oil
lamp that he had used during vacation
while the club was closed and devour-
ed two or three apples that remained
over from lunch of the Sunday be-
fore. He heard the church bells ring
Ing and the newsboys out on the cam
pus calling out the Sunday papers with
full accounts Of all the big games on
Saturday, and as he put his head out
of the window he saw a crowd of stu
dents on the hall steps reading the pa
per and eagerly discussing the results
OF the games. Some one looked up and
saw him and exclaimed:
There's Blake! He can tell US all
about itv' The next minute crowd
had tumbled up stairs into Edward's
room. and he was questioned as to all
the details of the trip, compelled to re-
late how the captain was hurt, who
was to blame for the game that was
called off, how much the team was In
the hole financially, etc.
By the time this was over it was aft
er II o'clock, and. with the rest of the
club boys, Edward went over to the
house for his dinner. The main topic
Of conversation at the table was foot
ball. The few members Of the team
who had been to church that morning
were drawn into the football talk with
the rest. Football was served up with
every course. including the dessert and
the toothpicks, and it continued to be
the staple of conversation more or less
through the afternoon.
Edward Quoted his Sunday con-
science by going to church service in
the evening in one Of the churches
down town. When he came back to
his room. he read a chapter in his
Bible, as he mad been in the habit Of
doing every Sunday since he left home.

All the time he was awake he was 60

tfcipation and dread.
1t was really with more relief of
mind than any fear of the president
that the next morning he said, II
might as we'll have it over first as last,
and I'll see him today" On his way
over to chapel services the president
passed him and made an appointment
with him for the afternoon.
When he went into the library Office,
the president greeted him cordially,
and Edward felt encouraged by his
look.
Flows your shoulder? Very badly
hurt?' the president asked heartily.

course, but nothing serious. I've come
In to make that report about the week 9

from college,"
That's frank beginning. Go on"

The lindner Block.

Peter Freeberg has drawn the plans
for the new Lindner block, and the
work reflects credit upon him as an
architect. The building is to be a
brick structure, 44x8O, three stories
high, with basement. The first floor
will contain the cigar factory, which
will be located in the northwest cor
ner, and the hotel Office, dining room,
kitchen and large sample room will
comprise the hotel part on the same
floor. A hall will lead through the
center, and two large stairways will
be built to the second floor, so as to
give convenient front and back en-
frances. The cigar factory will be
2Ox5O, hotel Office 194x24, dining room
31xl9, kitchen 25xl9, sample room 2lx
20, and pantries and closets of fair
dimensions.
Tn second and third floors will be
devoted to bedrooms, of which there
will be 10 in number. The second
floor will also contain the parlor,
17x18, large bathroom and closets.
In the basement there will be ample
provision for storage purposes. Il
will contain q vegetable cellar, stor.
age rooms, and all necessary conven.
fences for the hotel, besides an apart
ment for the heating plant.
The excavation work is about fin.
ished and before long the superstruc'
ture work will be in progress. The
location on Fourth street is q most
convenient one.
