DELIGHTFUL RECEPTION
FOR TEACHERS

y AS we went to press last week
the opera house was filed with a
gay and happy throng. Co.
Supt. Warren and Mcdonald as
sisted by the citizens OF Minot,
rendered a reception to the sum.
mer school. There were so many
delightful features that evening
that time fails to tell OF them all.
Mr.. LeSueur's welcome was hui
morous and hearty. Mr.. De-
vines statistics found a lodg.
ment in the heart of every girl
who has a homestead dowry.
Supt. Warren's introduction o.
, the speakers was happy. Supt.
Wolf and the orchestra gave US
such fine music, and we were all
interested in their personality.
Professor Royalties musical
composition and playing were
each a treat. Did anybody no.
tice the delight of Rev. Powell
when he played Annie Laurie?
Miss Ruth Elliot kept us spell
bound with the story OF the lit
tie cripple who earned a Victoria
Cross, and got a better one. The
Trio, violin, piano, and voice,
was delightful.
The faculty group was in the
best of humors with the world
and themselves, as well they
might be at the close of the best
summer school yet held in the
northwest. The conductor beam
ed on us all, the ladies were
charming, especially Miss Staple-
ton, who works so near to ma.
lures heart, and does itso heart.
ilyr Only Supt. Alexander was
shy. In his own bailiwick he is a
tower OF strength.
The luncheon on the stage was
served by the Grill Cafe company
and the chief feature OF that to
y the writer was the calm demean-
or Of the tall gentleman who pre-
sided at the frappe bowl.
The crowd enjoyed the feast
and gay laughter and Joyous
chat made a pretty setting to
the old friend who has visited
Minot regularly since 80. The
graceful young girls, the happy
young mothers, who have grown
up here, were pleasant to the
eyes. Truly Minot and it's sur
FINDINGS are a veritable Eden,
and the people seem to take
much pleasure in walking, driv-
ing, and running their autos in
these delightful summer evenings
of North Dakota.
