J Madison, MINI, Oct. -, 'OS
To the Editor of the Journal
After an absence of six months from
our old home in Iowa, | thought
would write and let you know how |
like my northern home. We located
at Madison, Mimi, the County Seat
of Lacqui Parle County. 1t is 1853
miles west of Minneapolis on the M.
n st. L. r. r., running from Mimi
eapolis to Watertown, S. ID. We
like our new home and have found
many nice people here. This is a
fine fourishing country, and the
crops are fine, but the weather is
quite rainy this fall and has delayed
threshing very much. Edna and l
attended the Inter State Teachers
Training school at Simpson Park,
which is situated on the Big Stone
Lake, S. d., in July and August.
I There were over $50 teachers attend
ing. The faculty was composed of
some of the best school workers in
Minnesota or South Dakota. Simp-
son Park is a fine summer resort,
being located on the banks of the
largest lake in the state. We girls
are both teaching school now.
Wages are much higher up here than
in Iowa. We both get SIS per
month. The teachers examination
was conducted bv the State Board of
Education aut is held twice a year,
in August and f uary. Wereceive
| your paper, and all eagerly await the
