NINTH YEAR.

The board of the Marathon County
Training School for Teachers takes
pleasure in announcing the opening of
the ninth year on Monday, September
9, 1907.
The inducements to enter the teach
ing profession are becoming increas-
ingly stronger. Wages are materially
and justly increasing, and school boards
are growing more liberal in their deal
ing with teachers and in the equipment
of their schools The school year has
been heightened one month by act of
the last legislature. Many districts
will not be content with the least
amount of school the state will allow,
but WILL as heretofore, add another
month in generous recognition of the
value of the schools.
The certificate granted by the train
ing school is valid in the county for
three years. Final standings obtained
in the training school may be accepted
by any county superintendent in the
STATEN lieu of an examination. Liberal
credit is given by all the state normal
schools for work done in the training
schools. Several of our pupils have re-
ceived the elementary certificate at
Stevens Point and River Falls at the
end of one years work. This is practi-
cally qualification to teach for six years
anywhere in the state.
Hereafter two courses of study will
be offered: the present course for those
who are able to complete it in one year
and two years course for those who
need more time. The latter course will
consist of Encouragement and, to
some extent, an extension Of the sub
ject matter of the present couTse, with
the addition of the elements of algebra
The training school is one of the
established institutions of Marathon
county. 1t has won well-defined and
well-recognized position by faithful and
efficient service to its patrons and to
the rural schools. BY virtue of its ex-
perience and its splendid equipment it
is prepared to do better service than
ever
Ali text books are furnished free to
the students and there is no charge for
tuition.

trade with the home merchant, yet II
other people followed your example
and patronized mail order houses.
there would be no hone merchant to
trade with. If others bought of him
only when they wanted things In q
hurry. and sent out of town for the
greater part of their supplies, he
would have left for more promising
fields long ago, or if he had stayed in
those circumstances, the sheriff would
finally have closed his doors. You
wouldn't like to live in place with
out stores, and yet it may be that you
prefer to reside in a country town
rather than in a city. Do your share,
then, toward making 1t possible for
the country merchant to carry on
business.
You must remember, too, that when
Germ in a distant city, you lessen the
amount of money In circulation in
your own residence town. If you had
spent 1t at the home store, some or
it at least would have been paid out
by the proprietor in the form OF
wages to his employees, they in turn
would have expended it for the neces-
stiles of life, and it would have passed
from one to another of the home deal
ers, proving an important factor in
the prosperity of the community. Hav-
Ing sent it to the mail order house
the probabilities are that it will never
again benefit anyone in your home

You should trade with the home
merchant because he is the one from
whom you ask and receive fayors.

long-continued illness in the family, or

Tho Most Ancient Banking House of
Which We Have Record.
There was a kind Of public record
office attached to the palace and tenn
pie at Nineveh, in which it was Gus
tomary to deposit important legal and
other documents, such as contracts
and agreements for the purchase and
sale of property, marriage settlements,
wills, etc. Among these there were
discovered official statements as to the
history and transactions of the emil
nent banking house of Egidu at Nine
veh. Assyrian chronology proves that
these refer to date about $500 years
before the Christian era, when Abra-
ham dwelt Mt Ur of the, ChaldeeS, as Is
stated in Genesis. We may therefore
claim for this firm the reputation of
being the Oldest bank in the world at
least of which we have any record or
are likely to have. The accounts are
very voluminous and cover the trans
actions of five generations of the house
from father to son. The firm grew rap
idly in importance during this period,
during which they attained great
wealth, for they succeeded in securing
from the king the appointment of col
lectors Of taxes, position which in
the east always leads to fortune. They
afterward farmed the revenue for sew
eral of the Assyrian provinces with
very great gain to the firm.--T. P.'s

Blessed with this sense he is never

can ruffie his temper. No abuse dis
turbs his equanimity. Bores do not
bore him. Humbugs do not humbug
him. Solemn airs do not impose on
him. Sentimental gush does not influ-
ence him. The follies of the moment
have no hold on him. Titles and dec
orations are but childish baubles in
his eyes. Prejudice does not warp
his judgment. He is never in conceit
or out of conceit with himself. He
abhors all dogmatism. The world is a
stage on which actors strut and fret
for his edification and amusement, and
he pursues the even curralt of his
way, invulnerable, doing what is right
and proper according to his lights, but
utterly Indifferent whether what he
does finds approval or disapproval
from others.
