NARROW ESCAPE
The many friends of Miss Carrie
Rosenau will regret to hear Of the
narro w escape she had from drown
ing last Sunday. Miss Rosenau was
a member of q party Of six that went
out to the lake for a days outing, and
as no boats were obtainable, the gen.
tlemen showed the wagon, in which
the three ladies were seated, into the
lake a short distance SO they could
catch fish while the men waded out in
to the lake and ished. The wagon
had not been in the lake long when it
began to sink, the ladies screamingf or
help, but before the men could reach
the wagon it had foated about thirty
yards from shore. The running gear
of the wagon sank to the bottom
while the wagon box hoated out far.
Their and farther into the lake, filling
with water and finally tipping over.
Two Of the ladies chung to the box
while the third started to swim to the
shore but the distance was too far for
her to swim and she sank twice. One
of the men had started out to meet her
and reached her just in time to be tax.
en- under water as she went down for
the third time. The other men Of the
party reached them in time and
brot them safely to shore. Had il
not been for the timely assistance oil
an elderly gentleman who came over
from the other side of the lake and
wan out to where the other two lad
les were clinging to the box and fas
tening a rope to the box brought
them to shore. Twice the two young
ladies got in under the box as 1t wa
turned upside down and it was feared
that the box would sink, taking both
the ladies with it to the bottom, but
they managed to get out from in In
der it. Both Miss Rosenau aud Miss
Sprague would have been drowned If
they had been In the water two min.
utes longer. Miss Rosenau was un.
conscious when taken out of the lake
but was toon restored to life. She
has been quite i'll from the effects It
drowning but it is hoped she will
have a speedy recovery and soon be
able to resume ner duties at school
again where she will complete q nine

9 the subjects of didatics, reading,
literature and spelling, DR.. Hess con-
tributed two lectures that will be long
remembered by those fortunate
enol gh to hear them: one for its mes
sage of inspiration, the other for its
practical value. The inspiring and
beautiful thoughts in "LookinR for
Swords Of keener Steel" will live in
the minds and have uEquestioned ef-
feet on the subsequent work of every
teacher present. While the useful
because practical truths presented
in "What do they Read" cannot
fail to serve as a criterion on which
to base the guiding influence directing
the reading not only of the pupil but
also the teachers themselves in the
studies in the great field of literature.
The work of Prof. S. D. Van Ben
thuvsen in penmanship, arithmetic,
agriculture and South Dakota history
was OF unusual merit and character.
lied by a strong feeling of good fell
lowship radiating from the personal.
ity of . strong and able man. The
message contained in Prof. Van Ben
thuysen's lecture on Things for the
doing OF which one will never be sor-
ry,' was so plainly brought out that
every teacher should carry with them
a strong desire to make the most Of
the opportunities presented by their
high calling.
OF great practical help and by no
means least interesting was the pres
entatlon of the subjects of algebra,
physics, physical geography and his
tory by Prof. Schafer. Altho broken
into by an unexpected family bereave-
ment. Prof. Schafer's work was of
high grade throughout.
One OF the most interesting features
Of the work was the model class con-
Quoted by Miss Edith Savage, who
gave a practical demonstration of the
methods of teaching very small child
rem how to read. Miss Savage also
acquitted herself very creditably in
her work in primary methods and
drawing.
Supt. Kerr's classes in grammar
and civics were very we'll attended and
a wholesome interest displayed in his
presentation of two difficult subjects.
One of the most pleasing features of
the session was the spirit of Il am
here for business shown by those in
attendance. 1t argues we'll for the
future of the school system of Grant
county that the training of our child
rem is in the binds of a body of
teachers who "a show soclearly their
desire to keep abreast with the best
thoughts and ideals Of the new educa-
ton.
The exhibition of ''busy work" dis
played by DR.. Hess. showing the re-
suits accomplished by pupils below
the fourth grade in Madison schools,
vas one Of the most instructive fea-
lures. 1t consisted of actual work
done by little folks in ratfia work,
drawing paper cutting. water color
painting and illustrated composition.
A pleasing touch of outside influen-
ces was given in the talks of Rev.
Thurman of the Congregational
church and Rev. Father Feinler on
the history of geography and M. W.
F. Poole of Chicago on railroad car
accounting.
The teachers of Grant county and
Supt. Kerr are to be congratulated on
their truly excellent institute.

BISHOP TALKS ON
SUNDAY GAMES

Bishop Grafton of the Episcopal
diocese of Fond du Lac, Wis, whose
attention was called to an attack on
Sunday baseball by one of his clergy,
gave the following as his views on the
much discussed question: Whether
any recreation on Sunday is allowable
must depend upon the individual con-
science. If recreation interferes with
his primal duty to God then it ought
to be given up and while number or
devout Christians would abstain from
the recreation named, there are others
who look at baseball games or attend
a free concert at the park, which is
not harmful to their spiritual life,
they having done their duty by attend
ing in the morning the divine worship
prescribed by Christ. Sunday is a day
of devotion, rest and recreation. While
the church forbids all servile work
that can be avoided, it does not in
terfere with any recreation that does
not interfere with a Christians devo-
tional duty"
