Like some soft shadow cast
From forgotten past,
Your face shines ever fair,
Dainty and debonair,
Maid Margaret
Faded the blossoming,
Of many a radiant spring,
Since in your lovers eyes
You seemed in Loves own guise,
Fair Margaret!
Careless Of love or hate,
From swains disconsolate,
You held them, one and all,
As 10 scme magic thrall,
Cold Margaret!
Then came a time, they say,
When Cupid had his day.
He, ere you thought to rue,
Claimed, undenied bis due
All, Margaret!
A lover came to you
Who needed but to WOO
To win. All! well-a day,
Cupid would have his way
With Margaret
Though some dispute his sway,
Love still doth find a way;
Though hearts were all as cold
As Margaret Of old.

VOLUME XVII. NO. 80.

the first year helps to break up the
bookishness of the first year, gives the
pupils some thing to do with their
hands and by thus adding interest
tends to keep the pupil in the high
school for longer time. Biology is
the science introduced. During the
fall the lower types of animal life
will be studied, in the winter physiol-
ogy will be taken up and botany in the
spring months.
Attention has been given in the for
nation of course of study to the pres
sing needs of practical life. Civil gov
eminent and commercial law are there
fore required of all, bookkeeping is
offered for one-half year, and arith-
metic and geography are to be taken
by most of the juniors and seniors It
has become a recognized fact that some
time should be spent on these common
branches in the latter years of the high
school, both because of the demands of
the business world and the capacity of
these subjects to afford much addi-
tional culture and information to high
school pupils who have taken the high
school mathematics and history. The
brightest grammar school pupils of to-
day have not reached that degree of
maturity where they can permanently
and safely lay aside these Subjects In
adding these subjects, little more
work will be required to graduate, but
it is thought the increase will not be
unreasonable. The other subjects of
the course remain about the same.
A little more money will have to be
spent this year than usual, owing to
the worn out conditions of many of the
free text books. Music will be system
atically taught in all the grades and
high school and perhaps drawing, not
forgetting that the old stock subjects
must be thoroughly taught and empha-
sized.
1t is perhaps time that a new and
more specific course of study be pre-
pared for the several grades, and put
in print for use of the teachers and
| those interested in the schools and for
exchange with other schools. Our new
superintendent large and varied ex-
perience in the schools of the State fit
him for publishing such a course for
our schools.
With the cooperation of parents and
citizens in general we ought soon to be
able to truthfully say-we have as good
schools in Princeton as can be found in
the State.

Boating on the Big Fork.

Itasca county should send A. NJ.
Greeley, the brilliant editor of the Big
Fork Compass, to the State legislature.
Greeley is "a gem of purest ray
SERENE" Listen to him tell of ':Boat-
ing on the Big Fork River:''
''There is no experience of forest or
stream so thrilling as shooting the
rapids of large and rapid stream.
There is something fearful about
rapids. It is not the white, foaming
waves, the swirling eddies, the long
swells, nor the turmoil of fast-moving
waters. It is the black rocks down
beneath, waiting silent and motionless,
to rend with ragged jaws what the
water brings them.
+. '''Asyou approach the rapids, your boat
seems to stand still while the rocks be-
low rush up to meet you. The water
foams around you as though some great
serpent were coiling and darting in dy-
ing throes underneath and dashing
steam through kissing nostrils.
"A sinister spell is upon you. You
are face to face with fate. You feel the
shame of human weakness. The rapids
roar and dance before you, churning
the waves into foam. Even your boat
takes fright, and trembles and springs
like thing of life. A cool brain and
steady nerves are needed to carry you
by the scowling rocks to the deep, calm
waters beyond.
"The river becomes titanic musical
instrument. The hands of nature play
a grand overture. The rocks are the
keys, and every ripple is pitched to
high note, while the water passing
over the rocks sings mournful bass.
The jungles on the shore act as a.
sounding board, catching the weird
music from the stream and throwing it
back in resounding echoes.
"You forget the dangers as you revel
in the sights and sounds. The bottom
of the river is reflected in the surface
of the flood. Here the water is yellow
and gray; there it is streaked with
green and red. In the curves, in the
shadows of the trees, blush black
ness Drevails.''

Ihe Princeton public schools will
open next Monday, and the school
children of Princeton are now getting
ready to take up their school work
again otter a vacation in which school
work. has had no part, and which has
been as foreign to their thoughts as
would be CLAIMS contemplation of the
heavens. The school children have
been journeying over the beautiful sea
of pastime, and now the great pleasure
boat is in sight of home again and soon
it will come into port: the gang plank
will be lowered, and the happy passen-
gers will alight to take up such studies
as will fit them in years to come for the
sober and serious duties of life.
An education used to be considered a
luxury years ago, but with our benef-
cent school system of to-day there is no
excuse for American boys and girls not
securing good education, and the
child that does not make the best of it's
opportunities for going to school is
sowing the wind of ignorance to reap
the whirlwind of regret.
Princeton's public schools rank well
up in the standard of excellence and
efficiency, and this is one of the best
things that can be said of any COM
munity. Those who have labored hard
for good school system in Princeton
and who have remained loyal to her
schools are deserving of great deal of
credit.
With the opening of our schools this
fall there will be many new teachers
who take the places of those who have
worked faithfully in years gone by for
the best interests of our schools, but
the school board has been fortunate in
securing competent and capable in
structors, who with what teachers of
the old corps remain will undoubtedly
conduct our schools in a very satisfact-
DRY manner.
With the resignation of Prof. White
and Miss Patterson the Princeton
schools lost two good educational work.
ers, but their successors come well
recommended, and with records in
other fields that are credit to them
Prof. w. F. F. Selleck, the new SUPER
intendent, has had a long and active
service as an educator in some of the
best schools of the State, and he is very
highly recommended by many of the
best educational workers in the State.
Prof. Selleck has been superintendent
of schools at Elk River, Mortified,
Austin and Crookston. He was super
intendent of the Austin schools nine
years, and was instructor in the St.
Cloud normal three years.. For the
last ten years he has been instructor in
State summer schools. He graduated
at the State normal school at Potsdam,
N. Y, and Wesleyan university at
Bloomington, Ills.
Miss Lidie Harold who takes the
place of Miss Patterson as principal of
the high school, has had several years
experience in high school work and
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1903-09-03

has been teaching in the Austin high
schools for the past three years. Prof.
Selleck recommended her to the school
board of Princeton, and personally
knows her qualifications for the posi-
ton she will fill here -- :. =
Miss Daisy Trout, who has been en-.
gagged to teach the sciences is from
Hanover, Ind. and while she has had
but one years experience in her work
she is said to be most successful
teacher.
In the Whittier school Miss Mary
Huse and Miss Julia McMaster will
teach the First grade scholars. Miss
Huse is well known to Princeton peo-
pie, and her work in the primary de-
partment of the Princeton schools is a
part OF the history of the growth of
our schools. She has proved model
Instructor in primary and kindergarten
work. For the past two years she has
been interested in kindergarten work
in Huntsville, Ala, where she met
with signal success. Miss Julia Me-
Master and her sister, Miss Kathleen
McMaster, who will teach the Fourth
grade, are from Sank Centre and are
graduates of the St. Cloud normal.
Miss Matte Tibbetts who will teach
the Fifth grade, is Princeton young
lady, who has taught in Mile Laos
county schools for the last few years..
Miss Abbie Claggett who was engaged
to teach the Brickton school, resigned
and her place has been filled by Mrs.
Robert Lambert who taught last year
at Book.
The addition to the high school will
not be finished and ready for occupancy
until about Christmas time, but tenn
porary arrangements will be made at
the high school to seat the scholars
until that time.
The Fourth grade scholars will be
cared for in the old Methodist church
which the school board has secured
temporarily until the new building is
completed.
With the schools under the SUPER
vision of a new superintendent the par
ents and pupils are interested in the
changes that will be made in the school
work, the course of study, etc.
The aim of the new administration is
to build on the good work already done
and to extend the scope and efficiency
of the schools in several practical ways.
The board of education has heartily
endorsed these plans and have voted a
good supply of new books and appara->
tus. A new and somewhat enlarged
course of study has been adopted, the
main features of which we will men
ton. In the language department, the
four years Of Latin has been retained,
the two years of German has been set
along to the last tive years and three
years of English is required in addition
to thorough course in home reading.
The algebra has been set along to the
second year in order to give place to
science in the first year. A science in

our Brother Wise, whose love for
Masonry was instrumental in organ

heartfelt sympathy to his bereaved
