. This is the time of year when the
school teacher is given to travel, when
thoughts are permitted to dwell upon
things and surroundings more pleas
ant Of contemplation than the drea:y
monotony Of dusty walls OF recitation
and class room, the drone Oh study
ing pupils and the eagle eye OF prin-
cipal and superintendent OF the W
inspiring presence of the trustee and
his abhorreence Of the frivolities Of
life as exemplified in card playing
or the seductive mazes OF the dreamy
dance. To get away as far as posi-
BILE from all these, to be where
hieroglyphic covered b~lackboards are
only a memory and the ~displeasure
Of the board comes only as the fig
ment Of a troubled dream and the
phantasy OF a nightmare to dispel
sweet Sleep. That is the desire OF the
average ''skule marm." And that de-
sire is put into execution as quickly
as possible and with the slightest
delay. In this respect the teachers
OF Billings are no exception to h rule
and the usual summer EXODUS has
begun. Only a few OF those who have
been teaching will remain. All the
others will renew family acquaintance
or seek pleasure in the exploration
of new fields of interest, to wander
amidst strange surroundings, view
new beauties and draw fresh inspira-
tion for the work that must be resum-
ed when the first leaves Of autumn
begin to assume the hues suggestive
of a coming winter.
Those who will probably spend the
greater part, if not all OF the summer
here are Mrs. Railsback, Miss Cor
don and Miss Calhoun. All the others
will go elsewhere, to come BACK only
in timetto hear the ringing OF the dull
toned bells that shall the

hard work that that implies.
