PRIMARY s. s. WORK IN n. D.
(By Mrs. s. p. tohnson.)


1t is within the memory of most of
US when our Sunday schools
were held in the schoolhouse, or
some farm house. Today our prairies
are dotted with towns and churches.
Some Of these churches are far from
ideals for Sunday school purposes,
but with that characteristic of the
West. our teachers overcame all OBJ
stacles and the Yankee ingenuity is
brought into prominence by the
"makeshifts" that transfer our OBJ
long, bare, country church into an at
tractive Sunday school room.
Some six years ago we got an i'm
petus along primary lines of Sunday
school work when Mrs. Lamereux of
Chicago attended our state convention
and gave us some practical helps.
Time has been when anyone was
considered equal to the task of teach
ing of primary class. That time
has gone by. We are awake to the
fact that foundation is responsible
work. In the primary department of
the Sunday school foundations are
laid. 1t takes one especially adapted
to this line of work to lay founda-
tons that are adequate for a SUPER
structure as grand and complete as
the Master intended it to be. Slowly

and has a large collection of music,
both popular and classic. The band
has filled many important dates in the
last two or three years and in all of
these it has been showered with praise
for the excellency not only Of the mt
sic but for their neat appearance.
The important relation of city band
to the city itself was we'll demonstrat-
ed during the trip taken by the COM
mercial club of Grand Forks about
two months ago. In every town and
hamlet the band was greeted enthus-
iastically and the comments of the
press in each city visited showed the
deep appreciation Of musical talent

schools have been of untold value in
the Sunday school field.
The conventions bring together the
workers, and through these meetings
is diffused the best that is to be founi.
The state convention brings to our
very doors the best up-to-date work
ers, from international fields. There
is no excuse today for a Sunday
school teachers to be ignorant of all
that is workable in her field of la
Dor.
The Primary Union-a meeting for
elementary teachers-in localities
where there are three or four schools,
is medium through which not a few
teachers are discovered-in fact many
have discovered themselves.
We primary Sunday school teachers
are more than thoughtful for the In
ternational Sunday School association
that has opened the effectual door to
this field on labor, giving us inspir-
alton, practical help, new methods,
knowledge of Gods word and just,
peep into the study of the child him
self.

it is an excellent plan to have a
large, separate board top made, which
when occasion demands may be laid
right on top of the table without
needing more support underneath.
When the room is small such NOV
able top is much better than having
a large table which would ordinarily
occupy too much floor space. Then,
too, the separate top may be either
square or round. as her fancy die
tates. and it's regularity not spoiled
by additional leaves. When not in
use the top is, of course, stored in
the shed or down cellar, safely out of
the way. One woman who has round
table had large separate top made,
by which she was enabled to seat
fourteen people comfortably. whereas
her table itself, without extension,
held bu. twelve. seated uncomfortably
close tn each other.
The Montreal papers of last week
published an account of the work done
by Miss E. Francis, lady superintend-
ent of the Women's Domestic guild of
Canada, who has just given out the
annual report of the society. A most
successful years work has been done,
500 domestic servants having been
brought out, and yet. despite this large
importation the demand is still far in
excess of the supply. Miss Francis
says that twice the number could have
been placed throughout the Dominion.
The method in which these girls are
brought out to this country speaks
we'll for the directors. The society has
agents in England, Ireland and Scot
land, who inquire into the character
of any applicant for situations in the
new world of Canada, and If the girl is
found suitable. she is shipped across
seas. If funds do not admit of the ap-
plicant paying her own fare, she is as
sisted, and. in some cases, the whole
passage money, and other travelling
expenses are paid until the girl is
safely lodged in Canadian home.
When domestic has been in the one
situation for six months from where
she obtains good character, a silver
badge of efficiency is presented by the
guild. When employment is secured
for a member, charge of So is i'm
posed, the same amount being also
paid by the employer. On arrival in
Montreal, the stranger is taken to the
headquarters of the guild, where she
is boarded and lodged for twenty-foul
hours free of charge, after that G.
cents day being charged

but surely the foundations are being

but surely the foundations are being
laid in our new state. The teachers
are working at great disadvantage
but gradually they are gaining ground
A few years ago most of our prinl
airy departments met with the main
school, seated on high pews, drinking
in drop here and there, of the ex-
ercises that were far beyond their
comprehension.
Most of our primary departments
today have room, or a screened or
curtained corner for themselves.
Great care is exercised in the selec-
ton of teachers. The primary teach.
er needs to give more study, more
thought, more payer and to have more
of Gods spirit, thai does any other
teacher of the Sunday school. She
realizes that her own personality
counts for much in the building of
these characters. So our teachers are
awakening to the knowledge of the
privileges that are theirs. The exer-
cises from the time that the child en-
tiers the school room until he leaves

BY the haunted look in the fathers
face, the anxious look in the moth
er's and the happy expectant look in
the children's it is easily seen that
Christmas is near at hand. Only
seven days more in which to buy and
always so much to do that it is not
much wonder that the heads of famil-
les are glad that Christmas comes
only once year. Yet, what would
the world be like without Christmas
so let all get the Joy out of 1t
that is possible and distribute happi-
ness not only by giving presents but
also by giving smiles, kind looks and
kind words.

The Grand Forks Military band,
newly organized, has for a long time
been recognized as one of the leading
musical organizations of the state.
The initial steps toward organization
we're taken some seven or eight years
ago by numbered the patriotic men
of the city who banded together and
spent considerable Ut their time Il
practice. These steps were not taken
for personal gain, for show or for fin
ancial assistance but because the
young men wished and hoped for a
band which could produce music that
would be heard with pride by all cit
items of Grand Forks. In this respect
a. we'll as in every other way they
have succeeded and succeeded we'll.
The organization now owns its own

of Interest to Women

Mrs. S. L. Rutledge of Casselton is
the proud possor of the autograph of
President Lincoln. The martyred
presidents signature is written on the
fly leaf of grammar that he used in
his boyhood days, and it is referred
to in history as the grammar that he
presented to Miss Rutledge, to, whom
he was engaged. A large sum has been
offered for this grammar, but Mrs.
Rutledge prizes it so highly that she
will not allow the same to leave her
possession.
