vile Is thing Of -he past Only the
examinations were given this week.
The total enrolment has been nearly
two hundred winch is good increase
over former terms and is very salts
factory 70 the management The plan
OF having two recftations per day In
All subjects where the work Of
twefve-week term Is attempted, and
which plan was adopted last year for
the first time. is proving very ac-
ceptable to all concerned and is the
only plan whereby as the work can
be done in the six weeks as in q term
OF twelve weeks. Yet II Is a fact that,
since this plan makes u impossible for
students to take more than three sub
1ects and since 50 many are anxious
to take several, students leave us and
attend schools which do not have the
two recitation per day plan. However,
the plan will be continued and all ef-
fort will be made to make the work
OF the school such as to assist in the
general movement in the state to-
ward the uplift of education

Miss Olson is rejoicing over the
fact that she has been able to COM
plete the back files OF many maga-
zines taken by the library. She sent
to the Minnesota Library Commission,
which was glad to send all they had
OF what she needed. This is a great
boon to the school library since 1t had
very few complete files of magazines
prior to 1906 and these extended back
to 1895 in many cases
