cited to the Teachers.

When the teachers of tie county
assembled at the court hous- Friday
evening, Superintendent Quipley said
that he was exceedingly gratitied at
the showing the rural teachers had
made In attending the meeting. and
but n teacher from the rural
districts was absent.
The evening program was begun
with a chorus by the boys elee club
OF the high school, under the di.
reclion of Miss Walrath, the boys
singing with fine effect. In response
to ar encore, Miss Rachel Doyle sang
"The Last Rose Of Summer" in
splendid voice and she was accom-
panied by the glee club, singing the
accompaniment with excellent
phrasing and good wodulation. 1t
was a genuine treat.
Superintendent Quigley introduced
DR.. j. W. Heston, president Of
Madison normal school, as the first
speaker, whose subject was "The
Teacher and His Relations DR..
Heston has a sympathetic side for
the teacher in the way in which she
is viewed by the general public. He
seid thar q town might have a mag
~niticent building equipped with every
possible appliance that would assist
in instruction, but if there was a
lack in having good teachers the
schools could not be successful. Nor
on the other hand with an excellent
corps Of teachers and a poorly
equipped school building, the result
would be about the same. DR.. Heston
pointed out a few features Of the
teacher, and said that she was forced
to lead a double life-tbat Of the
professional person and as a citizen.
Viewed from the latter standpoint,
he thought that too much was ex-
pecten Of the teacher, and that if
she INDUCED in a game OF lawn
tennis for exercise, it was thought
that she vas frittering away her
time; chat il she happened to 20 to
a dance she should be ostracised, and
that il she went to a show it was
something oerrible. He held, how
ever that a teacher has needs just
as ANY other human being and that
they should have the right to have
them supplied. He spoke of the
necessity OF the civil life Of the
teacher being right, and that if it
wasn't then the professional side
would he wrong. He reter,ed to the
traits Of character tl'at should be a
part OF the teacher's life, and made
great emphasis on! that he teacher
must above all things have a we'll
defined faith in some religious
denomination. Without it, DR..
Heston declared, the teacher should
not enter the school room. In con
Guiding the speaker took up the pro-
fessional side of the teachers life
ana discussed it with equal trankness.
Prof. Clarion d. Hardy gave two
interestin! readings that received
the heartiest appreciation from the
teachers, giving Riley's "The After
whites" for an encore.
DR.. Samuel Weir, vice president Of
Dakota Wesleyan. gave a splendid
address OH "The Function OF the
School in Character Building" which
offered hin a wide scope.i in present.

that go toward building up the

WHEN EMITTING THE PAN.

water is conducted Into the interior of the receptacle by means of series of channels which carry the drippings to an inlet at one edge. At this point on the circular side walls of the can there Is also handle by which it is pulled from it's resting place and carried te the point of emptying. Under the ham, dle there are also other openings to fa. cilitate the precipitating of the con. tents. but in order that It may not overflow at this point they are covered with hood of the same metal of which the pan is made. In transport ing this receptacle from point to point. as is necessary, 1t is carried by the handle in precisely the same manner as q gripsack This enables the pan to be made larger than those of the type in use at present because of its greater convenience, it being possible to carry a greater burden in this way.

A Plate Heater.

For use in the buffers pantry to keep dishes and food hot a very convenient little heater has been designed on the order of those seen in hotel restau- rants The only difference is in the size. the family heater being consider ably smaller, just large enough to hold a couple of plates or small platter The heater is made to attach to either the gas jet or an electric wire. and 1t can be regulated to any temperature desired. For breakfast this will be found great help in serving crisp. hot toast or in maintaining the high tenn perature of coffee and water. No well equipped dining room or serving pan try is complete without at least one of these heaters, and in large houses sev, eral are installed to facilitate the sery- ing of large dinners and luneheons.
