Directors of the Nicollet County
| Agricultural society have designated
Friday, Sept. 20, as Dairymen's Day.
at the Nicollet county fair. Invita-
lions have been sent out to creamery
managers and buttermakers through
out this part of the state, and Sam
Haugdahl of st. Peter, champion but
termaker of the world, will act as
host for the fair association.
On that day, also, an expert from
the state dairy. and food commission
will score the samples entered in the
butter contest, and in addition all
the creameries in Nicollet and LIE
Sueur counties and several in Blue
Earth county have been asked to make
special exhibits. 1t is expected that a
goodly number will respond, and the
officials believe that ''Dairymen's Day
will be one of the best features of the
! fair.
This year the st. Peter fair is offer
ing $1,000 in premiums for agricul-
tural exhibits, and the race purses
aggregate $l,100. A new stock barn
has been erected and, judging by the

aside from teachers salaries, are no
more than they were ten years ago,
and have not varied materially one
way or the other during the ten years.
The increase from year to year in the
expenses has been no NOR than the
increase i'll the teachers salary roll
The expenses of the district the past
year, aside from the permanent inn
provment at the Franklin building,
for which fund was on hand, were
about $4,000, or only $1,000 more
than the preceding year, and this in
crease was accounted for by the in
crease in the salaries paid teachers,
these salaries footing up to $24,595.
Standing Committees
President Hughes announced the APP
pointment of the standing committees
for the coming year, as follows:
Finance: DR.. Beach, Mr.. Davies, Mr..
Scherer.
Property and Expense: DIR. Hol-
brook, Mr.. Bishman.
Schools and Textbooks: Mrs. Smith,
Mrs Koke Mr.. Hughes.
Superintendent Mcconnell said that
a problem presents itself at each end
of the city. The enrolment of the
Franklin school is increasing very rap
idlv. and there are fifty-tive pupils
in the primary kindergarten depart
ment, making it an impossibility for
satisfactory work to be done. 1t would
be impracticable to transfer any to the
Union. He recommended that twelve
in the A division be continued with a
full day session, and that the balance
be divided into two equal groups, one
half to come in the forenoon and one
half in the afternoon.
Mr.. Scherer favored hiring another
teacher temporarily, until the attend
ance of the little ones falls off with
the arrival of cold weather. He did
not like the idea of some of the
children being at school only half a
day, as it was wrong in principle.
DIR. Beach thought that half a day
was enough for all kindergarten chill
dren to attend school. To attend more
than half a day was not right or
proper for five year old children. A
part could come in the morning and a
part in the afternoon.
Mr.. Scherer thought the forenoon
the best time for little children to 60
to school, rather than the afternoon,
and all should be treated alike as to
this.
Several motions were made, but the
one finally adopted was made by Mr..
Davies, and was that the matter be
referred to the superintendent and
Mr.. Mcconnell said that it was a
difficult matter to get a good pri-
mary teacher at this time of the year.
Mr.. Mcconnell said that in West
Mankato an opposite problem is pre-
sented Only twentyone pupils are
enrolled in the primary department.
there. He recommended that ten of
the youngest children from the next
higher grade be placed in the primary
room, but to do the work of their
own grade.
The board did not look with favor
upon this, as the primary, children's
work would distract the attention of
the others, and the latter and their
parents might feel Inundated, although
without cause, at their being placed in
the lower room. The board voted TO
continue present conditions.
The bond of the treasurer was fixed
at $4,000, the same as heretofore.
1t was voted to purchase two maps
for Miss Comstock's room at the high
school. A blackboard will also be
placed in the manual training room.

The proposed series of games for
"a second championship between the
Mankato and st. Peter ball teams has
been dropped. Nothing was done
last evening about it. 1t is thought
that the season is so late that it
would tax the patience of the patrons
of the games to hold the series of
games especially after the champion
ship has been fairly decided by one
series of three games.
