as shown by the unusually large
attendance and the interest mani
tested by all present. Over one hun
dred persons were enrolled, 80 per
cent of whom were teachers.
Prof. Deneen of the University
Extension department addressed the
teachers and explained how gener'
ally the great institution is dis
seminating knowledge through the
state His talk was listened to with
much interest
The program was carried out as
advertised except that the topic as
signed to Miss Vernia Moore, OF
Weyerhaeuser had to be omitted be-
cause she was absent.
The discussions were entered into
with much zest by teachers, and
everybody contributed something to
the session.
We wish to thank the Bruce high
school students for their good vocal
music; also to thank Principal Mar
shall and his entire staff of teach
ers who assisted us in this institute.
The next institute will probably
be held in Ladysmith March 18th.

who for satisfactory reasons could
not attend at Bruce should write
the Superintendent promptly. Those
teaching in Rusk, Willard and Will
son are excused from this require
ment.
A spelling, penmanship and arith-
metic contest is being arranged for
this spring. Word lists and rules
will be mailed soon to all rural and
two room schools in the county. This
contest is for seventh and eighth
grades only. Teachers are request
ed to interest such pupils early and
as soon as the lists are ready.
We wish to call attention of some
Of the teachers to looking more
closely to out buildings and cloak
rooms. In some instances conditions
in both are not what they ought to
be. If your heating plant does not
work as it should, notify again the
school board Also, if new books
seem necessary, please write the
superintendent concerning them, as
We are anxious to bring about uni
formity in books.

MINNESOTA PRESS SONG.
(By Mrs. Eva Emerson Wold.)
Tune: maryland My Maryland" To
be sung with spirit.
State prohibition is our cry, /
Well get it when we get the press,
For with it we can all defy;
Get the press! Well get the press!
The public we must seek to reach
And temperance truths to all we'll
teach,
we'll write up every talk and speech,
For the press yes, for the press.
Thousands of homes within our state
Read the press; yes, read the press;
Our story to. them Wen relate,
Thru the press; yes, thru the press.
And they will all see things our way,
For dry state they'll vote and pray,
And righteousness shall win the day,
Thru the press; yes, thru the press.
Dear brothers, won't you help us try
To get the press; yes, get the press?
And editors. don't you hear our cry
For the press; yes, for the press.
Well stand by you thru thick and thin
If you will only now begin
State prohibition help us win
Thru the press; yes. thru the press.
Nothing to Reap.
A great many people are trying to
harvest crops for which they never
have taken the trouble to SOW the
seed. They want positions and prefer
ment for which they never have quail
lied themselves, and when they hear
of the advancement of others, grumb-
lingly wonder why mo such luck" ever
comes their way.
They want friendship and the good
will of their fellows, but they do not
seem to understand that these are
precious fruits not Indigenous to ev-
cry soil, but growing where love and
unself1sh kindness have been soWn.
The harvests Of material welfare, Of
mental wealth, of the treasures Of the
heart, and tho souls garnering Of
faith, peace and eternal life come all
| of them from the seed-sowing that has
preceded them. It is useless to look
for the harvest where there never has
been a seedtime. whatsoever a man
soweth, that shall he also reap" There
is no promise for the implanted field.
