CIRCUS TIME AGAIN WITH US.

The Norris AMI Rowe Greater Circus
To Exhibit Here Sept. 20.
There is surely no more enjoyable
period in the year than when it comes
to the time of the annual appearance of
the modern circus. Whether it is on
account of the balmy summer being the
time for relaxation from the work Of
the year or on account of the all too in
frequent visits of the circus, certain it
is that when the magic name of a well
known circus is announced there is a
hustle and air of quiet excitement in
every community. The circus comes
but once year and the latter day
shows must be something out OF the
ordinary in order to attract profitable
attention. Such show is the Norris
and Rowe greater circus. It has grown
into colossal exposition and the Won
der of it all is that such stupendous
enterprise could be brought to our very
doors at such an extremely low rate of
admission. We are ceasing to marvel
at the wonders accomplished nowadays
and but little thought is spared as to
how circus men transport their i'm
mense undertakings from town to town
and in such an increditable short space
of time erect their magic cities of
spreading, snowy canvas. All we know
or care is that it is done and we are sur
feited with entertainment. To view
the circus is the absolute duty of every
person, for no where else could they OBJ
tain such amusement and education as
in the menagerie, sideshow and big
show tents of the modern, monster cir
Gus. When the Norris and Rowe
greater circus exhibits here, their huge
double menageries will be found to con-
tain nearly every wild beast known.
Expert exponents of daring horseman-
ship is exemplified by the army of

Mrs. A. w. Rankin Writes Text
Book. y

Mrs A. W. Rankin of Minneapolis,
graduate of Ripon college, class Of
1875, has recently completed text
book entitled Everyday English Z
which has been accepted for use in
hundreds Of the schools Of the country.
Mrs. Rankin made a speciality during
her college days of work in English,
and her text book is said by educators
to have followed out some of the latest
idea in pedagogy. The work is in two
volumes: book one, for the use of in
termediate grades; i. book two, for gram
mar grades. The Pioneer Press says Of
Mrs. Rankin's Everyday English:
"The belief has long prevailed among
newspaper men and others who handle
masses Of : the peoples manuscripts,
that too much time was being given in
our lower and 5intermedia schools to
the. .technicalities Of grammar. and, too
little to practical language work. So
one cannot but applaud the boldness
with which in this new work, by a
Minneapolis author, grammar is entire.
ly divorced from language lessons, and
the pupil is permitted to discover how
really delightful is the study of English
when freed from the dry and juiceless
lumber of rules, analyses, diagrams and
parsing One feels that the new
method will take at once with pupils
and with parents"
Mrs. A. w. Rankin, is we'll known
to many in this city having lived here
for a number of years during which
time her husband, Prof. A. w. Rankin
was superintendent of the city schools.
He now holds the position of state high
school inspector.
