1t is great thing for Kinsley that
her school board and school teachers
realize the Importance along educa-
tional lines of good pictures and ar
tistic school rooms. 1t is a fortunate
thing for our citizens that the pers ons
in charge of our children are devel-
oped sufficiently to know that these
things are of equal, if not of greater,
value to the child than much of the
text book work.

other things of vital interest to our
schools and their welfare took place

three nights exhibit of stereopticon
pictures, combining the microscope

school apparatus, and also the money
