Waseca, MINI. Prof. Bliss has been
in charge of our schools for the past
several years, and under his admins
tration the schools have advanced
rapidly and are now considered among
the very best in the state. The pro
fessor devotes his entire time to the
work, not only during school hours
but all hours, and this care and en-
ergy, coupled with the fact that, as
Professor N0rthrup of the State Uni
versity says, ''He ranks with the fore
most educators of the state," insures
the scholars under his charge an edu
| cation second to none. He is a good
organizer and a man of great execu
tive ability-getting the most and
best out of his teachers and scholars
