with diminishing intensity until the
sun is SO far below the horizon that
the refracting power OF the atmos-

sun reaches such position varies with
the latitude Of the place. There Is less

President Cooper Of the Mankato

school on Thursday and Friday, and a
guest at the home of President Weld
He visited classes both days, and trans
acted executive business in confer
ence with Mr.. Weld. On Thursday
morning he addressed the school at
chapel, taking as his theme Richard
watson elders intimate biography of
Grover Cleveland. In reviewing this
notable book he showed how Cleve-
lands integrity and Independence
coupled with his strong sense of ini-
tiative, made him power in every
position of trust that he occupied as
mayor of Cleveland, as governor of
New York, and as president of the
United States. Repeatedly he risked
MS political prospects and his chance
to carry out some particular pro-
gramme in order to be true to his
principles. AS a consequence. he grew
steadily in the confidence of the peo-
pie of independent views and his
tame has grown, with equal steadi-
ness, since his death. Thus, because
of his essential honesty coupled with
MS large capacity for friendship. he
stands as an admirable instance of
American citizenship.

MAYvILLE STATE NORMAL,

The year of 191O-1911 has been be-
gun for the normal school at Mayville
under very favorable conditions. The
attendance is somewhat larger than it
ever was at this time of the year and
the type of entering students is above
that of former years in scholarship
and it is hoped that the type of work
that may be done in the first year
classes may be correspondingly raised.
The school is gratified in the in
creased number of young men enter

work in athletics are very encourage
