Friday morning was taken up by a
general session, and Friday afternoon
Dy the rural section, high school sec
tiOn, etc. At this time two OF the
County Normal faculty for Wood
county spoke: during the rural section:
Prof. NJ. Fl. Jackson, on The Value
OF Training" and Miss Michaels, on a
previously delivered paper, on 1.-THE
Art Of Questioning" Both papers
engaged the attention OF the conven-
tion from the good sense expressed in
them, and the earnestness with which
they were presented. The Wood
County Normal school faculty aud the
city superintendent of schools also were
there. The Saturday afternoon ses-
sion was OF general business, and it
was at this time that Prof. Youker
was elected to the Office of president
Of this society or association. Other
officers were elected for the coming
year, and the place Of holding the next
meeting was determined upon as APP
pleton.
The value and necessity of attend
ance at these meetings for the pro-
gressive teachers cannot be over
estimated. Interchange Of ideas with
prominent educators of the state
broadens and gives Zest to their school
work, while the excellent programs
rendered are highly instructive.
Those in attendance at Stevens Point
last week were especially favored in
hearing lectures by Prof. Fish of the
University OF Wisconsin, and by Prof.
Vincent of Chicago University. one Of
the best known public speakers of the
middle west.

"A well known travelling man who
visits the drug trade says he has often
heard druggists inquire OF customers
who asked for a cough medicine,
whether it was wanted for a child or
for an adult, and il fos a child they
almost invaIiably recommend Cham
berlain'S Cough Remedy. The reason
for this Is that they know there is ne
danger from it and that it always
cures. There is not the least danger

the dam and buildings for the new
paper plant at'Watab is being rushed.

cement, will extend to the long pier
down the centre of the river. The
dam proper will run from the head

YOUNG ALFONSO A SCHOLAR.
The Numerous AceompIishmenta of thc
 Spanish Monarch.

Speaking of King Alfonso. it Is said that he may rightfully be called the best educated head that loils under the weight of a crown. He knows French. he knows Italian. German and English. and speaks his own language with commendabte precision. He never travels without a pocketful of Goethe, Schiller and the unfamiliar GriIIparzer. Horace is his favorlte classic. whose odes. many of them. he has set to pret- ty Spanish.
 But this is not the worst. King AL fonso is fond of mathematics. He rev. els in logarithms. It Is matter or grave concern to him whether the line A B equals the line D. History he IS on the most intimate terms with. and it is said he can take up a pencil any. day and draw.
