of the Madawaska Training school at

lures.
Tine Madawaska school. as is well
known, is State school. established

In the 30 years Of it's existence this
school has labored efficiently for the
advancement of the educational facili-

derStood is due. in large measure, to
the influence of this institution.
within three years the trustees of
the State Normal schools. under whose

the uses of various woods and Of the
different tools, but also the fact that
skill in the use of language may as

THE illustrative article on Seeds
by William Tevesque afforded ample
evidence that the boys of the NADIA
waska school are already developing
strong interest in the scientific side OF
the industry which is the main support
"Other parts emphasized the patrio-
