SNAIL INSTITUTIONS BEST
Vice President of Wisconsin Uni
versity Regents Believes Small
Colleges Advantageous

IF I were to choose again a
college in which to take acade-
mic work, I should go to a small
institution" said A. P. Nelson,
banker at Grantsburg, Wis, and
vice-president of the board OF re-
gents of the state university OF
Wisconsin. Mr.. Nelson said
these words recently at chapel
at Hamline university, from
which institution he was grad
uated in '97.
'The attitude toward the small
college taken by Mr.. Nelson is
that of many other authorities
ca higher education. His utter
ances are of special interest to
high school students who con-
template entering some college
after graduation.
Mr.. Nelson stated that one of
the reasons for preferring
smaller college was that the ply
steal development was much
more easily acquired in small
Ter college than at a large uni
versity, irrespective of the
money and attention paid to ath-
letics in the larger places of
learning.
"The influence of the faculty
is another thing to be considered
in choosing a college. The stu
dents at the small college re-
ceive at first hand, the contact
and personal touch of the facul-
ty members that after all is one
of the real investments in col

WAR ON LINE OF BUSINESS.

This county has been flooded and
will be more so this fall with circu-
lars regarding special piano sales
in which wonderful offers are made
because of the eastern war. Fake
sales are based on this plea to delude
the unsuspecting. High class pianos
are in demand more than ever and
are never used in the special sales
through merchants unfamiliar with
the piano business. Vendors OF cheap
instruments are forced to resort to
all kinds of schemes to get rid OF
their goods. A letter from one OF
the greatest piano industries in the
east utterly condemns the method as
unwarranted on the war plea and
confined only to cheap instruments
None of my pianos are handled by
dealers in such special sales" be
cause they are not cheap enough to
suit the schemers. Do not be deluded
but come to the Mitterling Piano
House and be protected in price and
quality.
