School House Fire

The schoolhouse, located miles
east of Ladysmith, of Districts No.
and 3, town of Grow, had a mar
row escape from destruction by fire
Monday evening Fire, apparently
falling out of the door of the stove,
caught in the floor of the building
and was just commencing to blaze
nicely when Robert Verdegan saw
the light in the windows. The tele,
phone saved this schOolhouse with
out a doubt, for Mr.. Verdegan sum
moned the neighbors by that means
and in a few minutes there were
plenty of volunteer fire fighters or
the ground and the fire was quickly
extinguished. 1t burned several
square feet out of the floor, but this
trifling damage was Immediately
repaired.
The fire had not burned far enough
to get to any of the walls or parti
tions and the lack of air had retard
| ed it's headway. 1t would have tax
en- but few minutes more, however
! for the fire to have got sufficien
headway to have doomed the building

the two days institute on Friday and
Saturday last, that it was one of
the very best Institutes we have had.
The enrolment was one hundred
and thirtysix, and considerable
number of attendants did not enroll.
The conductors were Professors w.
H. Cheever and w. G. Hewitt, both
exceptionally strong conductors and
teachers. Their work was ably pre-
sented ard thoroughly appreciated by
every one.
Our thanks was rendered to Supt.
R. M. Lewis, Miss Hamblin, Miss
Quillan, Miss Nelson with her class
of highschool pupils, who furnished
us with vocal music, Miss Parfrey
and the Seniors in the Training
school for a chorus given Thursday
afternoon. All these special num-
bers were exceptionally well present
ed, and thoroughly enjoyed by the
members of the Institute.
The class exercise in language un-
der the direction of Miss Hamblin
was good, and suggestive of work
primary pupils may be led to do
Prin. E. E. Young handled educa-
tional literature on Saturday and a
goodly number of teachers placed
with him subscriptions for the diff
ferent publications.
Certificates of attendance at the
Convention and the Institute were
given those teachers who attended
the three days; those who attended
the Institute two days were given a
certificate for Friday. School clerks
are authorized to allow teachers for
Thursday and Friday, only upon
presentation of their attendance GER
tificate of attendance.
Rusk county teachers will be
panied to learn of the accidental
shooting of Miss Ethel Holden,
teacher in District No. 3, True, last
week. 1t is not thought that the in
jury will prove serious, but it is
nevertheless painful, and in some
measure, dangerous. Her school is
closed for the present, in the hope
that she will be able to resume work
shortly.
Dist. Clerk VIM. Prazeau, of No.
3, Washington, was, perhaps, fatally
injured recently by a falling tree.
Jesse Ever has been appointed to
fill a vacancy in the district board
in No. 8, Hubbard; W. Zehner in
No. Thornapple; Steven S. Stacenk
in No. 4 Willard, and August Peter
son at Glen Flora.
The attention of school officers is
again called to the law requiring
them to provide sweeping compound
for the floor. A penalty is attached
for neglecting to keep this on hand.
A good quality may be had of the
Eau Claire Book & Stationery Co.,
EauClaire, Wis, at 1925 per hundred
weight. They do not ship it in less
than 100 pound tubs. Order by
freight. This amount should last
two years.
Clerks in ordering school registers
are advised to get Harvey's District
School Register, $1.25. 1t would be
we'll to order 1000 No. A "A, oval
labels for numbering backs of libra
ry books, price 20 cents, also, bot
tie of White Shellac, 26 cents and
two camel hair brushes, 10 cents.
These are needed for library mater
ial and are very necessary. All may
be had, perhaps, from any druggist
dealing in library supplies.
