The stone of Indifference is a great

On Thursday evening, Oct. 29th
Webster City's corps of teachers
boarded the "cliprer" en- route tc
Des Moin es. A pouring rain failed to
dampen their enthusiasm, and al
though the weather continued I'M
pheasant until their return, so inter-
ested were they in endeavoring to
secure the professional benefits for
which the trip was planned, that the
weather was not even a secondary
consideration. The time passed very
pleasantly as they journeyed toward
| the capital city. Music and games
were freely INDUCED in and all
school room cares forgotten. The
primary object of this excursion was
to enable the teachers to visit the
schools of Des Moines. Some little
time was spent on invitation of the
mayor of the city in visiting the CEN
trail fire station and the city hall.
The teachers remained in the city

the opportunity to hear a lecture by

as 'Ian McClaren." One of the fin
