TEACHERS TALK
 ABOUT NUMBERS
INTERESTING MEETING OF THE TEACHERS OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS HELD YESTERDAY IN HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.

rha teachers of the public schools held an interesting meeting yesterday at the high school.
 Dr. J. II. Phillips, superintendent of the schools. delivered a lengthy address on the "Psychology of Numbers" Miss Loula Bradford. who has taught the first grade of the Powell school for some time and who is quite familiar with the char acteristics of children, spoke on the '.Ixnowledge of Numbers the First Grade Child Brings from Home Miss Jessie Ruter talked of the extent of number work during the first year in school MT. c. A. Brown, principal of the Hen ley school. made an interesting talk on the Necessity and Value of Class Drills"
 pr. Phillips discussed fully every phase of his subject. He explained that we may know numbers without having a knowledge of their origin, but that the ideas of time and space are the result of careful thought and an alienation of 0ApeIltuCSH. III O4SgdoSAAi6 lhC NiVoA9 tildl a child is born with power, Dr. Phillips said that It's knowledge was the result of experience, but that the child with ex- perience could not help learning to count.
 Miss Bradford said that the average child who enters the first grade of school has some knowledge of counting, but that of course the extent of this knowl- edge depended on the home raising of the child. She stated that in all her exper- fence she did not remember boy or girl in the first grade that could not count to one hundred with little help, and that all are anxious to learn more. In many of the children's rhymes, there is some reference to numbers as in the little stories of the pigs going to market, and "One love, two I live" etc. The first thing child learns to count is it's fingers. then houses. and in a little while he is reckoning the number of his pennies or his toys, all real objects. with nothing imaginary.
 MT. c. A. Brown talked of the funda- mentals of class drill. and what should characterize them He showed that it was the only means of developing accu- racy, facility and dispatch and of deep ening the channel of habit.

Evening Athletic Classes for Ladies

] irmingham ladies who have a fond ness for athletics will be interested to learn that MT. Ed Miles proposes to start evening classes for their instruc- tion in physical culture. These classes will be formed at the Pollock-Stephens gymnasium. and held weekly. commence ing Thursday, October G.
 MT. Miles has just returned from the north and east, where he spent the sum mer in visiting the leading gymnasiums for ladies and studying their methods, with the result that he is most thor oughly equipped for the work. Among the many forms of calisthenics used by Mir Miles, such as dumb bells, Indian clubs, wands, fencing. basket ball, etc. there is none more fascinating than that of "Gilbert" dancing, a system very much in vogue in the north, invented by gentleman of that name in Boston. This is the most graceful movement known to athletics, and, as it is per formed to music, Is sure to become pop ular. Another feature of MT. Miles sys- tenn of instruction is the special atten- tion given to corrective gymnastics.
 The regular day classes of the Pol Iock-stevens institute will begin tomor- row and continue Monday and Thurs day afternoons through the season un- der MT. Miles.

AvoNDALE KINDERGARTEN.
School Opens Tomorrow at Same
 Place as Last Year.

Avondale Kindergarten school will open tomorrow at the same place as last year in the city hail. and with the same teacher in charge, Mrs. Eva Mae Hays Griswald.
 The ladies have experienced a hard time in raising funds to pay off last years debts, which are not entirely paid yet, and making arrangements to have the school this year.
 Through the kindness of the mayor and alderman in offering the city hall and fuel and the services of the teacher be- ing offered for whatever the ladies could afford to pay. the school will open with bright prospects.
 There are so many children to attend this school whose parents cannot afford to pay tuition that donations are neces- sary to maintain the institution, and those interested are asked to lend a helping hand.

THE LIBRARY DEDICATED
Citizens Throng to Hear Pres. Northrup
and Inspect the New Library
Building.
Genial HumOr Pervades The Lecture,
While the Beautiful Building
is Universally Approved

Everybody was pleased last Fri
day evening. DR.. Northrup was
not only pleased to greet crowded
audience of the best and fairest of
Redwood's citizens, but pleased
still more to help benefcent pub
lie object along, by winning hun
dred dollars or more for the book
fund of the library that is to be.
And the 300 or more citizens who
greeted him were pleased to look
upon the kindly face and respond to
the equally kindly humor which
permeated and overhowed Presi-
dent Northrup's lecture on
Amusement in Literature.
1t would be a waste of effort to at
tempt to reproduce the lecture,
which justified its title in being for
the most part a collection of the
amusing passages in the best Amer
lean and English literature, with a
spice of minor anecdotes, some Of
them as the doctor promised in his
Introductory remarks, being recog-
nized as old friends by the grown
up portion of his auditors. Never.
theless, there was scarcely a tedious
moment in the 70 or 80 minutes
which the doctor spent in culling a
bouquet of wit and humor from many
literary sources.
At the conclusion of the lecture
the audience walked over to the
brilliantly lighted and beautiful

ry building.
Attorney Howard was called upon,
and in addition to ''jollying" the
members of the library board, called
attention to the fact that J. P. Coop
er, then mayor, showed his good
judgment in appointing a library
board that had secured the erection
of beautiful building without ex-
ceeding Mr.. Carnegie's appropria-
ton. He thought that no man could
have bettered Mr.. Cooper's ap-
pointments, and there are others
who think likewise.
J. A. Schmahl, president of the
library board, gave history of the
building of the library, beginning
with the intention at first enter
tanned by the late G. G.. Gillian, to
endow library in Redwood Falls,
which intention failed on account of
the sudden death of Mr.. Gilfillan.
Subsequently Mr.. Schnahl wrote to
Mr.. Carnegie's secretary a state
ment of the Gillian incident, with
the suggestion that Mr.. Carnegie
might choose to carry out the Gil
>fillan plan by making Red wood
Falls the beneficiary OF one of the
Carnegie libraries. After extended
correspondence this was finally
brought about. President Schmahl
squared himself with the ladies on
the library board by admitting that
he had at first opposed their APP
poll tnent, but had long ago seen
the error of his ways and found
them the most faithful and efficient
members of that board.
The best wine was left for the
last, when President Northrup gave
the people wise and helpful talk
about the value of good books.
When new citizen took up his
residence in a town, the usual thing
was for the people to inquire into
his business interests, his church

William Tell was

life OF VIM. Tell. William Tell was
now declared to be myth, but this
made no difference in the influence
of that book on the boy Cyrus North
rup. Continuing, the doctor set
the blood tingling in the veins of
every book lover in the room as be
talked simply and earnestly about
the value of good books in the COM
munity. They might not greatly
change the middle-aged reader, but
they we're capable of completely
Transforming the lives of our chill
dren and young men and women.
Doctor Northrup advised the pur-
chase of up-to-date books, as science
was charging the horizon from
year to year. He specially men
toned John Fisk S works, and
Roosevelt.s THE Making .of the
West, by way of illustration. In
conclusion he paid an evidently sin
cere tribute to the building itself
to the donor, the architect, and
those citizens on the library board
who had done their work so well,
and finally declared, in most i'm
pressive way, this library to be
dedicated to the upbuilding and en-
lightenment of the people of Red
wood Falls.

Carnegie library building. After
giving short time to inspecting
the interior, with it's simple and
tasteful decoration scheme and it's
generous provision for light, heat
and ventilation, the company came
to order in the reading room and
adjacent spaces, Supt. Race an
nouncing the speakers who took
part in the dedicatory exercises.
w. II. Gold was first called upon
to give business man S view of the
building of the library Mr.. Gold
proceeded to ask and answer the
question whether the work was
worth while in dollars and cents.
He compared it to other enterprises
carried out in this city within re-
cent years-the water works and
sewerage systems, the water-power
development in connection with tie
lake, and the forthcoming high
school building. All contributed
toward making homes in Redwood
Falls desirable, and had resu tied in
almost doubling the value of our
real estate during the past few
years. Aside from considerations
of sentiment or artistic value, the
library would soon justify its worth
to our citizens in dollars and cents.
Mrs. J. B. Robinson was asked to
give her views upon the literary
value of the library to all classes in
Redwood Falls. Mrs. Robinson s
paper was brief but cleverly writ
ten, and demonstrated that the home
makers OF our city who are lovers
of good literature would not be the
only ones to reap the benefit of the
proposed library, but that its edu-
cational value would be shared by
all classes.
Ell. NJ Hitchcock gave an interest
ing and somewhat humorous account
of his experience as librarian of the
first library association formed in
this city, in the early eighties. The
books were kept in the back part of /,
his drug store. and it ultimately de-
veloped that Mr.. Hitchcock had
either to give up his library or his
drug business and from considera-
tiops of revenue only, the former
had to go. The experience demon
strated to the speaker that the cage
was even more necessary than the
bird, and hence he welcomed the
