The midsummer meeting of the
North Star Daily Press Association
was held in st. Cloud OIL Tuesday Of
this week. The st. Cloud publishers
and business men entertained their
guests royalty. While the Herald is
is not a daily nevertheless Mr.. and
Mrs. Wallace participated in the
pleasures of the occasion on invitation
of President Schilpin of st. Cloud.
The State reformatory was given a
hurried inspection and luncheon was
served at noon. Warden Scott who
has recently assumed charge of the
institution piloted the party about.
There are something like 500 young
men and boys serving ouE their SEN
fences. The new warden is firm be.
lever in the idea of keeping the in
mates in dormitories, retaining only
the more desperate characters in
cells. He seemed to have the situa-
ton we'll in hand and is ably assisted
by his clever wife and Principal Keep
er Whitney. Mr.. Scott for years has
been the warden of the New Hamp-
shire penitentiary. Former Warden
Read of the reformatory is the new
head of the Saltwater penitentiary.
The visit to the Watab paper mills
was greatly enjoyed. The Watab mills
are probably the most thoroughly
modern and sanitary of any mills in
the country. 1t is not as large as the
mill at International FAILS but makes
larger variety of paper.
st. Benedict's College and Academy
for girls at St. Joe was visited. This
institution has but recently completed
substantial additions to the splendid
property. Sister Dominica is the
Sister Directress of the institution.
The appointments of the new Chap
ell are undoubtedly the most elabor-
ate of any church or chapel of any
denomination in the Northwest. At
least this was the claiGi of several
of the editors who claimed they had
made a study of a large number Of
interiors of church edifices.
St. Benedict's school has accomoda-
ton for several hunder girls and
young ladies. They are about to open
their 32nd school year. The school

Herald understands the classes are al
ways full. In separate dormitory
small boys are housed and are carried
through the primary grades. The
Sisters were most gracious in their
reception of the newspaper fraternity.
Colegeville and St. Johns Univer-
sity came next. The party were TAX
en- in charge by Father John and es-
corted about the spacious grounds and

vocational institutions Of the country.

preparatory and college course there

of high standing. A Dutch lunch was
served at the institution at SIX o'clock.
The banquet at the Grand Central
Hotel in the evening was a most de-
lectable affair. President Schiplin of
the association is also president of the
St. Cloud Commercial Club. He was
master of ceremonies of the feed and
stated that he had promised the Wis
itors that the usual after walks would
be dispensed with, but Editor East
man of the Journal-Pr said that
his paper was not pound by the
promise of a competitor and he pro-
ceeded to call on the guests and few
home folks. In this he was ably as
sisted by Editor Mcdonald of the
Times.
The banquet was served by the pub
fishers and printers of St. Cloud.
James Girard, president of the Secur-
ity Printing Company was one of the
