The demand for good teachers is in
creasing. The demand for cheap (?)
teachers in decreasing. Let us as
teachers strive to increase this demand
by improving every opportunity to
make our services more valuable. We
have our part in the solution of the
question of teachers wages. We must
do our part. Let us make the at

BEAUTIFUL DECORATIONS
VIM. Scheer, OF Appleton, be.
gins the work of Beautifyine
the SIS. Peter and Pauls Catho-
lie church.

The work of preparing the SIS. Peter
& Pauls Catholic church, for the
beautifying hand of the decorator, has
been in progress for the last two weeks,
aud the interior of the church at the
present time is an interesting sight.
From the floor up to the highest Eart
of the ceiling, staging has been
erected, and every inch of the walls
have been washed and cleansed by the
Scrubbing process. Mr.. Scheer, OF
Appleton, who has been in charge of
the work up to this time, has used,
together with his assistants, seven
large scrub brushes. until there is
scarcely any thing left of them.
In order to get at the highest places
in The church it was necessary to
build staging from the floor up, and
we are told that there are over $1,000
feet of lumber used in the staging
alone. This staging is so constructed
that it does not preclude the use of
the church for services, every pew
being left open. During the week
when the work is in progress the
seats are all covered, and therefore
when the covering is removed on Sun
day. there is no dirt as a result of the
work.
The decorations to be put on this
church are let by contract to one of
the largest church decorators in this
section of the country. VIM. Scheer,
of Appleton, is known far and wide as
one of the artists in this line, and he
arrived here this week with his crew
of able assistants TO begin the work of
decorating this edifce. 1t is expected
that this work will take at least
eight weeks.
The interior decorations are to be
of the latest, neatest and most artistic
in design and coloring, and while it is
a difficult matter to describe them
with any degree of accuracy, it is said
they will be the very finest that
artistic workmanship can make them.
After the interior has been decorated,
new hard wood floors will be laid
throughout the editice, and new seats,
and windows installed. The exterior
of the building will also be repainted
in an attractive and appropriate color.

REPAIRED THE DAM

AS result of the great ice jams in
the Wisconsin river this spring the
timbers on the north end of the main
piers to the Consolidated dam, were
weakened and cracked in such a
manner as to make it absolutely neces-
Sary to replace them Immediately
As soon as the water dropped to it's
present low stage, crew of men were
put to work reconstructing the in.
jured portion, ano for the greater part
of the week this work has been in
progress. Several of the large timbcrs
were torn out, and new ones put in
their place, and when the work is
finished, the dam will be in all re-
spects. as sound as it was the day it
was built. The great wonder is, that
with the severe strain this piece of
masonry was compelled to undergo
last spring, that nothing more serious
resulted.

VALUABLE EFFORT

Those readers who have watched
the records of the Improvements that
are gradually being made in this city
as they appear from week to week in
the REPORTER, are struck with the
extensiveneSs of the same. From
early spring to the present time there
has been no let up but each week
some new sidewalk, new cross-walk
or new dwelling was being erected, OF
older dwellings were being remcdeled
in desirable manner. Streets are
continuously being clayed, or the
grade improved: new water connec.
tionS have been made, fences con.
Structed in needed places, and in
many ways too numerous to be men,
toned the improvements have been
going uninterruptedly on. The one
departure, however, which makes for
a more beautiful Grand Rapids, and
which is due in no little measure to
the interest of the ladies, is the
excellent care that is being given tc
the lawns in all parts of the city.

Sunday was great day for the soft
drink and ice cream venders in this
city, aud long before the hour that the
usual large demand for these refresh
mentS is made, the merchants in the
city were scrambling around in a vain
endeavor to get enough to supply the
trade. At noon it was pretty
generally known to the keepers of the
ice cream stands that their supply
would not hold out. and therefore NO
bulk sales were permitted. The large
crowd which came to the city in the
morning, and the extremely hot
weather, were responsible in no small
measure for the happy smiles of the
merchants all the next day.

HAD A GLORIOUS TRIP

We had glorious trip without mishap
reaching Portage Saturday morning, and
home by train. We camped on the sand
bars, climbed all the rocks, saw everything
and pronouce it one of the trips of our lives
Am going to do it again sometime"
The above message was received
from Rev. J. D.'Rouse pastor of the
First Congregational church, OF
Appleton, and refers to the trip he
recently took from this city to Por-
tage in row boat down the Wiscon-
sin river. When it is considered that
Rev. Rouse has taken most all of the
popular trips in this country, it will
be seen that the s'Old Wisconsin" can
hold its own.
