In the North

The streets of Brawley bear testimony to the activity of farmers throughout this section oi the valley, for compara- lively few of them are coming to town these days. A large acreage of grain crops is being rushed in, even though the fal mers realize that light yields are a certainty for crops put in so late as this. There are many of the earlier crops, however, which are making splendid showing. This is true in both No. and districts.
 The residents of No. district are anxious to see greater progress on the bridge over New river, for if it is not completed before high water, No. 8 will be shut off from communication with the outside world for time. This dis trict is not now what it was year ago. Then there was not settler on that side of New river. There was nothing, in fact, but unfinished dry ditches. Now there are many thrifty farmers with some splendid crops growing, and it would be misfortune alike to the dis trict and to the Brawley merchants to have an interruption of trade.
 The pink ball given last Saturday evening at Cady x Lees hall for the benefit of the Brawley band was a great success. There were thlrty-fve couple present, including number of young p.ople from Imperial. The new hall was greatly appreciated.

Where this can be done successfully by private enterprise the government has no desire to interfere.

City Park.

The land given by the Culp brothers
to the city of Union for park, so far as
natural beauty goes, is an ideal spot for
park. 1t lies north of the city and
joins the lands of Mr.. w. Z. Thomson.
1t does not reach the road leading from
the city to Jonesville, SO it will be neces-
sary to open street leading from this
main road just beyond Mr.. Thomson's q
land to the land donated. OF course
it will take some money to convert this
place into park, as it would in any
other case, purchase or gift, for the pur-
pose of a park. We need add nothing
to what we have already said about the
necessity of such resort. This munifi
cent donation is worthy Of the name the
park will -cal, Charles Culp."

Pleased With the Schools.

Mrs%N. NJ. Linder has returned
from her six weeks stay at Waynes,
vile and Asheville, N. @. While
In Asheville she visited the schools
OF the city, with which she was very
much pleased. Mrs. Linder said she
found these schools very interest ng
and Instructive, more 80 than our
summer schools, as she saw the prac-
tical and most approved, up-to-date
methods of teaching demonstrated.
She considers her visits to those
schools OF practical benefit. She dis
covered that the teachers in the lower
grades did one third Of the work of
the four schools, and were paid ac-
cording, to the grade and not COM
mepsurate with the labor performed,
as Is generally the case. The teach.
er's tasks Ia the lower grades are al.
ways the most laborious as they deal
with theo small children, beginners,
and necessarily the most tedious and
Trying Of o teachers school work,

ers should be chosen as they lay, al
it we're, the very foundation upor
which the pupil Is to build it's educa
tion: aud we further think the teach
or of this grade should be paid tn,
same, or more, than the teacher O
the higher grades, II work and effic
iency count for anything in schoo
of learning.
