Those Redwood people who were
fortunate enough to be up after
midnight last Wednesday night
witnessed a meteoric spectacle that
they will not soon forget. The me-
teor fell from the eastern skies and

in that county, but the local night
patrolman thinks that it reached
the earth many miles this side of
that county.
The Mankato Free Press of last
Wednesday says that ''Supt. S. J.
Race of Redwood county this morn
ing addressed thd students of the
normal school and for half an hour
held their closest attention, while
giving "reminiscences OF his exper-
fence with teachers, and admonish-
ing them to lay greater stress upon
the teaching Of morality and true
manliness and womanliness, rather
than technical subjects. He said
they should decorate their school
rooms by their own genius and not
with cheap advertisements. His
appearance upon the platform was
an occasion of universal applause,
and showed the estimation in which
he was held by the student body.
Prof. Race is a candidate for the
Office of state superintendent under
the incoming administration, being
the oldest superintendent in the
state in years of experience and one
of the strongest if not the strongest
in the state. His candidacy should,
his friends say, meet with serious
consideration by the appointive au-
thority.'
