SCHOOL NOTES.

+ The members of The Botany class
are enjoying til work IN that sub
ject. just now they are dealing
with seeds. The work in this branch
is very different than that with the
old text book, supplemented by the
analysis ola few plants. Now pupils
do laboratory work from the begin
ming, being trained to observe cor
rectly and record accurately from
the first.
The class in bookkeeping are do
ing some good practical work. Each
pupil begins business with cash
capital. He buys and sells, keeps
his books for his business, makes
out his own bills and receipts and
learns how to do business with the
bank. This gives the pupils drill
that will be helpful to them in
everyday life.
The two high school teams go to
Waterloo Friday night to play the
high school teams Of that place.
The following newly elected Of
ficers Of the senior class made excel
lent speeches before the school Fri

neighborhood and SO on through
three or four of our prominent ma /
tionalities. Let us ask the reader
why it is that in neighborhoods
where Germans or Scandinavians
predominant you will find pros
porous community-a locality where
almost every farmer is able to pay
cash when he buys a few hogs or
fattening steers and you also find in !,
that locality the merchants meet
their bills promptly? Can you
imagine why, what the cause is?
We are not insinuating when we
suggest that the nationalities named
are to a certain degree clanish and
to very large extent, believe in
trading among themselves; in other
words trade at home and for that
reason you will find such communi-
ties always supplied with working
capital.
How remarkable it is that in our
own state, in cities where the Ger
mans largely predominant, and we
have some striking examples, you
find the banks carrying larger de-
posts than in any other cities of the
state. These banks always have
money to loan to the people of their
community. There is only one rea-
son, and that is they keep their
money at home.
Does this effect the price of farm
lands?
1t surely does for in all such COM
munities you will find farm lands
selling at a higher price than in
communities where people are con-
tinually sending their money to
large cities for what they need.
In the first place there is nothing
saved by buying away from home
1t may seem SO at the time but il
h. we understand all the tricks in the
trades and the deception used in the
!. manufacture of goods, we woulc
readily be converted to the home
trading idea. Secondly, we know
that such condition depleats thu
working capital of our communities
! and makes US depend upon the yer,
| people of Eastern cities whom w
have patronized. We give then
the profit on the goods we need ant
then give them the profits on re
: turning the money to us that W
4 may borrow.
oil If we are not mistaken the coun
try at present is on the eve o. tn
9 discussion of this most vital of ques
f tions.
3 In fact, in great many commu
!, mites as it has in this, the agitatio
Y has already sprung up and peopl
4 are learning some things they wer
!. Ignorant of before.-W. J. P.
