journal The good people of Sank
Centre are long on hos
pitality and the associations formed
there will be long remembered. Sank
Centre is one of those prettily laid out
little cities of about 5000 people with
each and every citizen vying with the
other to make their home community
one of prosperity and contentment
This thriving little city also enjoys the
distinction of having the best weekly
in the state, the Herald, with it's edi-
tor, Asa Wallace, enjoying the conn
dence and good will of his fellow cit
liens to the extent he was the envy and
yet the pride of the whole bunch OF
editors.
The addresses by the different mem
bers of the association were exception
ally strong at this meeting and we en-
joyed Bob Dunn'S Off hand remarks
each and every sentence being pithy,
pointed and emphasized in Bob's mimi
table way. Friday afternoon was spent
and the Girls Home School and proved
one of the most interesting features OF
the meeting. This school has pres
ent population of 26O and the journal
will have more to say later on as to the
purpose of this institution and the
good work now being carried on unoer
the supervision of Mrs. Fannie r.
Morse and her able assistants.
The retiring president, Asa Wallace,
was presented a loving cup, suitably
engraved, in recognition of his ser
vices as president of the best bunch
of all around SOclable fellows In the
state of Minnesota.
The members of the Northern Min
nesota Editorial association held their
winter meeting in Sank Centre last
week. 1t was a most profitable meet
ing, of value not
Grand Rapids only to our honored
Herald-Re view fraternity but to the
whole of Northern
Minnesota The citizens of Sank Cen
ire entertained in a most delightful
manner. and those present rank that
little city as next only to their own.
We of the newspaper field feel proud
of the Northern Minnesota Editorial
association, not only for what it means
to those of our profession, but to the
state. It's meetings are not held for
the purpose of self praise, though some
attention is paid to discussions of me-
thods for self preservation. The edi-
tors do not meet for political purposes
and do not pledge themselvs to any
one line Of political activity. One fea-
ture of the work is that in every meet
ing there is an investigation given to
some one state institution or industry.
At Sank Centre visit was made to
the Home School for Girls and what
was seen has made every editor an &C
tive supporter of this remarkable and
humanitarian institution. Any effort
to restrict it's field or it's support will
be bitterly and honestly opposed by the
press of Northern Minnesota. 1t is
not only the friendly feeling developed
by such a meeting, the useful informa-
ton and inspiration given by contact
with those of the same profession, but a
knowledge of the state and it's inStitu-
tiOns which makes the meetings of the
Northern Minnesota Editorial associa-
ton of value.
The visiting editors were taken on
an inspection tour Friday afternoon
through the grounds of the State Home
School for Girls, and were enlightened

The Northern Minnesota Editorial
Association held it's eighth annual
session in Sank Centre on Friday and
Saturday, the meeting proving the
most successful winter
MelrOse meeting in the organiZa-
