One of the Prairie du CHEN
papers is out with the statement that
the Mississippi river is open, the first
time in so years at this time Of year,
or thereabouts. Anyway, there is
no doubt but the present is very
open winter. Ths big lakes at Madi-
son are still open for large areas, be-
ginning not far from shore. To the
present there has been no ice cut by
the local dealer in that commodity.
On the pond the staple has attained to
a thickness of not more than six or
seven inches. From the surrounding
country there comes no report of ice
harvest begun. and the feeling of un-
rest that has overtaken the icemen of
the country would be interesting to
witness, if there were not in it a
quality that approaches the tragic.
An iceIess summer is not a pleasant
thing to contemplate.
"A large number of teachers from
the public schools uf Grant county
will attend the meeting of the South.
ern Wisconsin Teachers association
at Madison on Friday and Saturday,
February 10 and IA. At this time
County Superintendent j. @ Brockert
has not completed his list of those
who will attend, but the indications
are that out of the 1876 teachers in the
county, outside of Platteville upwards
of 100 will take in the big meetings.
It may not out of place to state that
unless the school board consents to an
allowance of time. the teacher who
attends this meeting must lose the day
of Friday. either in pay. or must
make it up later on. Usually the
school board makes the allowance of
time, taking the view that such in.
struction as a teacher picks up at
these association meetings adds to her
value in the work.
