Normal Notes.

The appropriation made by the
board of regents for the improve
ment of the school grounds is now
being expended. About fifty trees,
including varieties of black ash,
Eastwood, butternut, elm, hard
maple and several others have been
set out. A trench one foot wide and
eighteen inches deep extending the
length of the north front of the
building, to be flied with fertile soil
in which will be planted trees, has
been dug. Arrangements have also
been made for the planting of the
mammoth beds Of foliage and flowers
on either side of the walk in front
of the main entrance, all enhancing
the beauty of the already attractive
grounds.

What He Saw.

Eu1COI IIIuuy Oh the DIOOHleI AQ-
vocate was here at the meeting of
the Congregational ministers re-
Gently held in the city. His impress
sions of what he saw, as published
in the Advocate of the 9Th instant,
are given below:
The meetings of the Eau Claire
Convention of the Congregational
churches was held at River Falls
Monday and Tuesday of this week.
The Convention was we'll attended
by delegates and ministers from
the various churches and the papers
and discussions were very interest
ing.
River Falls has a population of
something over 1000 people outside
of the Normal School pupils. We
were invited TO visit the Normal
School Tuesday just before noon
and witness the closing exercises
of the forenoon session. There
were nearly 500 pupils assembled
and the faculty numbering 10 teach
ers were seated on the platform.
The exercises consisted in read
ing, singing and words of advice
from the President, after which the
entire school marched out in an
orderly manner.
Among those we noticed in River
Falls who are known to our readers
are Miss Josephine Johnson, who is
teaching in the public schools and
who sends her regards to all her old
acquaintance and pupils; Miss
Angelina Prince, who is attending
the NORMAL School; and Miss Nancy
Campbell who will be remembered
as the Sec'y of the Dist. c. E.
Convention and who is also attend
ing the Normal School.
River Falls is a beautiful city
with a fine site on both sides, of the
Kinnickinnic, with romantic sur
roundings. The city is well-laid-
out place and has a large number
of fine public buildings and private
residences. The people are very
sociable and haye the happy faculty
of making strangers feel at home as
soon as they enter the house.
In conversation with President
Brier of the Normal School he made
the following statements which he
wished given as much publicity as
possible:
The tuition to teachers or those
intending to teach in Wisconsin is
absolutely free, the pupils main
expense thus being board and books
This arrangement makes it possible
for those wishing to fit themselves
for teachers to do SO at a minimum
of cost as the board is very low,
ranging from $500 to So. so per week,
and the accommodations extra
good for that price. The school is
capable of handling a larger number
of pupils than it now has and the
President would be pleased to cor
respond with any and all who de-
sire a Normal School education.

Mrs r IL. Shaesbv

Mrs. r. II. Shaesby had a
very serious accident befall her last
Thursday evening, by falling or
slipping in some manner and break
ing one of her hip bones. 1t was
also very unfortunate that the
balance of the family knew nothing
about it until Friday morning. 1t
is her usual custom to securely lock
her door every night just before
retiring and it is thought while
doing this the accident occurred. The
next morning as she failed to
respond for breakfast at her usual
time, the door was broken when
she was found, with the above result.
Owing to her very old age, her
recovery is said TO be very doubtful.

District Contest.

The high school declamatory con-
test of the River Falls District was
held in the M. E. church last Friday
evening, the program being followed
substantially as given in this paper
last week. An interested audience
followed the speakers closely and
testified their appreciation by liberal
and impartial applause.
The selections were all we'll rend-
cred and the contest was very close,
especially between Miss Wilcox of
Eau Claire and Miss Hanson of
Hudson. The former was given
first place and the latter second
place. Others worthy of mention
were Mr.. Cornelison of Shell Lake,
Miss Leland of Eau Claire, Miss
Peterson of Bloomer and Miss
Boehmer of Rice Lake.
The music of the evening was a
pleasing feature, being furnished
by the local high school whose
chorus singing won them generous
applause.
Miss Wilcox and Miss Hanson will
represent this district in the state
contest at Madison May so, and the
district WI be well represented.
