MISS Kirk who was assisted by sew
eral students and teachers, was almost
all done with the smoothness Of
clock work BY Tuesday noon, and the
members Of the faculty found their

over the nature of the students.
Many Advanced Students.
There are a good many students
VINO nave enrolled to take post gradu-
ate work. Some are graduates of
the normal school; several are COL
lege graduates; and many others are
working to finish their work for ad-
Vanced diplomas. some are taking
practice in the model school, and these
are students who have engaged to
teach and want to equip themselves
for the work as well as they can.
The number Of students who enter to
take advanced or professional work
increases from year to year; n
there is noticeable an ~increasingg FRO
feSsional spirit.
The Model School in Fine Trim.
Miss Belle M. Deans. who superin-
tends the Model school. is enthusiastic
over the summer session. She says the
grades have enrolled all the pupils
needed for practice work, though
there is room for more, and the grades
are all supplied, so that the practice
work is carried on in all departments.
Among the pupils are some from rural
districts, from small neighboring
towns and from the elementary school
of the regular year. There are some
pupils from Fargo in attendance.
There is a large class in domestic
science. Baseball is the division
among the boys at recess times, and,
under good guidance, the boys are en-
t~husiastic.
New Pictures for Model School.
Friends Of the school will be pleased
to see. when they again visit the
Model school, the remarkably beauti-
full new pictures that have just arrived
from the Braun Art company. These
pictures were purchased largely by
the help of the citizens and club men,
bers who patronized the art exhibit
held here in January. The pictures
are reproductions of great works of
art. Two of them are colored and are
among the very finest of their kind.
One picture is a very large, almost a |
photograph Of the famous
and beautiful Jungfrau, a mountain of
the Alps near Interlaken. The pictures
Corot's Spring in color; Murillo's
Children of the Shell, colored; large
copy Of Moses from the sculp-
urte by Angelo; a carbon print of the
Madonna; The Crab Fishers,
by Blommers of the modern Dutch
The Hour Of the Angelus; and
The Arrival of the Shepherds by LIE
