ceptionally pretentious residences, the
great number of trees and the well
Kept lawns all serve to impress the
onlooker with admiration.
Inc high school is in charge of Prof.
> a FarnsWorth, who is also princi-
pal OF the Cleveland grade school, in
the same building. He had the UNIQUE
distinction of presiding over more than
1,2OO children, and his long continued
occupancy of the position goes to
prove the utmost satisfaction that he
mas given. Upon several occasions, in
spIurge of economy, efforts have been
made to abolish the school, and on one
occasion the effort was successful. But
true to their faithful attitude in up
holding local institutions the people
1alrly stormed the board of school in
spectors. The result was that the
school was restored, and all subse-
quent efforts to do away with it were
unsuccessful
There are several other grade
schools, including the John Ericsson,
the Grant, the Madison and the Phalen.
The latter is new building at the
corner of Payne avenue and Rose
streets, and is considered the model
building of its kind in the city. With
out architectural ornamentation it
stands as the type of a building con-
structed for the purpose to which 1t is

Catholics have two churches of note,
one English and one Polish. The Swed-
1sh Lutheran church occupies COM
manding position near the high school,
There are a number of other smaller
churches, besides which religious serv-
ices are held every Sunday in several
OF the halls. There is a strong Swedish
branch of the Salvation Army, this or
ganizatien being now engaged in the
task of raising the money with which

The recent acquisition by the city
of Phalen park has greatly benefited
the district, and will eventually re-
suit in the opening up of a beautiful
residence territory. For it's natural
beauty Phalen park excels, it having
apparently been created for the very
purpose to which 1t has been put.
Lake Phalen, around which the park
lies, is a fine body of water, suffi-
GENTLY large for excursion boats. With
the completion of the street railway
line to the park there is no doubt that
there will be a building boom in this
territory.
The permanent location in the dis
trict of several of the leading insti-
tutions of the city has served to in
crease the prosperity of the people
