State, if not in the United States, marks
new era in the history of rural educa-
ton. During the past 500 years many
educational fads have come and gone,
but none of them met the permanent
approval of the people, but here we have
an experiment which has in three years
time passed into a permanent improve
ment of condition that has long been
going from bad to worse. The Normal
schools of Wisconsin, have not in the
past been keeping pace with the prog
resS of the urban schools and it re-
manned for people in this county, who
were deeply interested in the course of
education, to make practical study of
the causes which led to this condition
and apply practical remedy. 1t is well
known that the Improvement in the
schools of Marathon county has been
very marked the past few years, and the
whole basis of that improvement lies in
the excellence and in the practical prep
aration of the teachers who have them
now in charge. The schools have passed
from an almost chaotic condition, to
where they take first rank in the state,
made possible within the past three
years, by the establishment OF this local
school for the practical training of
country teachers. Next year there will,
among the 200 teachers in Marathon
county outside the city of Wausau heap
proximately fifty graduates of the Train
ing school and it is fair to believe, that
ninety-tive per cent. of shem will do
excellent work. A teacher who has had
practical training for rural work is
more valuable to the community as a
teacher and as a social factor than one
who has not been specially fitted for
this work, and should be and will be
recognized as such.
No small portion of the success of the
Marathon County Training schools due
to Prof D. E. Wells, principal, and to
his assistant, Miss Rosalia Bohrer. Their
efforts have been untiring and the ex-
cellence of the character and the in
dustry of each, is in itself, an inspiration
to any young man or young woman who
wish to take high rank III the eeaca-
tional profession. The Training school
Board and the county are to be congrat-
ulated upon securing the services of
two such eminent educators to direct
the work of the school
Messrs H. D. Blanchard, of Colby;
Hon. A. l.. Kreutzer and county Super
John f. Lamont, who COM
prise the Training School Board, were
given the administration OF the instltp-
ton, careful and intelligent consider
alton, being guided at all times by the
needs of the schools and
have actively protected the interests OF
the county They take great pride IN
the growth of the school and the future
of the same can be safely entrusted TO
their guidance.

Oscar Iverson, of the town of Bergen
delivered the valedictory. MIR. Iversou
did his work nicely and in good taste
as yaledlctorian he only emphasized
his standing as aD>excellent student OF
the school. His remarks were timely,
and well received by the audience aud
by his class.
After a chorus-''G, / len Halls OF
Morn. by the school, County Super.
intendent, John +. Lamont, presented
the diplomas and certificates, address
ing the class as follows:
This is the third class to graduate from
the Marathon County Training School
for Teachers The first class did net
have the careful and the direct training
which you have received because the
course of study and the school itself was
largely experimental Ii was in every
sense new venture and there was no
model for the school to Follow. In fact
there was doubt in the minds OF macy
good men of the permanence of tbs'
institution Those who had the work
in charge had to feel their way ca9esssliy.
Their experience can be compared with
that of man travelling au unknown
road Oh q dark night Finally. however,
a class was graduated aud sent out 10
teach. While the members of the first
class were out teaching the second class
was receiving Instruction and the mis-
takes made the first yeaf were not dis
covered Ia time to male the work of the
second class thoroughly excellent aud
the school at the end of the second year.
although il was decidedly successful,
was still somewhat in doubt But nov,
at the end of the third year, we have
every reason 10 believe that we have
secure hold on the situation. and it only
remains for you To prove 70 the people

has written a very able letter to the
chairman OF the democratic state central

of the political situation, from the stand

forces which began Monday morning and
resulted in the retirement of President
Castro to La Victoria Tuesday afternoon

a part never before seen in Venezuela.
Shortly before s O'Clock Wednesday after

gained a slight advantage. The. presi-

The Commission Is Satisfactory.

The general feeling here is. that the

The outcome followed a series of COM
