conferred at length on plans for as

THE CITY SCHOOLS.

Tuesday of next week, Sept. 5, is
| the day fixed for the opening of the
| Mineral Point city schools for the
coming year.
While one school years opening is
not much varied from another, still the
opening of the session for 1916-'l7 is
fraught with exceptional interest to
both pupils and instructors. A new
head of the Mineral Point system is to
be inaugurated into office and before
the school year commences The Tri-
bune bespeaks hearty welcome for
Mr.. w. r. Rood, the new principal and
superintendent who succeeds Prof, E. c.
Gotham.
A full course in typewriting, short
hand, bookkeeping and the commercial
branches has been added to the course
of study. The work of the music de-
partment will be greatly extended by
the employing of a special teacher for
this purpose. Changes in the plumbing
have been made to improve sanitary
conditions.
Mineral Point has long been noted
for liberality and progress in educa-
tional affairs. The men of brightness
and integrity who are today holding
high positions of trust in all sections of
this busy, bustling world, and who ac-
quired the foundation for their worth
in the local schools of this place, is
evidence ample to substantiate the
assertion here made. Mr. Rood's repu-
tation, experience and ability are sufli-
cient surely to maintain the prestige
our schools enjoy. He is welcome
addition to the community in which he
is called upon to live and devote his
energies for the best interests of US all.
The vacation period is very near its
close, and beyond doubt pupils will re-
turn to their studies with renewed Wig
or and energy. 1t means a new line
of work for them, new teachers, new
methods of discipline. They are older
and must meet new conditions. New
studies will be taken up and both ward
and high school pupils should devote
their energies to the work at hand, OBJ
tanning an education while they have
the opportunity. Too soon the work
OF life begins and every day counts
,ssw.

king up river gorge to a crossing.
After lunch and the long rest we still
had ten miles to go to cross and it
didn't help things to know that once
over we had to come straight back
on the other side. During the first
hours march in the afternoon we
heard the strangeSt sound that ever
those wilds gave forth. 1t was like
hammering on steel but we refused to
believe our ears until sudden curve
brought us bang up against the indls-
putable fact of girder-bridge in the
throes of construction. Before the
thought of the sacrilege to the game
country-before we could see in this
noisy monstrosity the root of our re-
cent bad luck-came the glad thought
that we didn't have to do ten miles up
that gorge and ten back. We would
have whooped except that men don't
whocp in Africa-it scares the game.
II said the bridge was in the throes
of construction. 1t was just that. Its
two long Orders, reaching from brink
to brink, with their spidery trusses
hanging underneath, fairly swarmed
with sweating figures, and the figures
were black. 1t was that that brought
us to a full stop and just when our
eyes were fixed with the intensity of
discovery, one of the workers looked
up, saw us, relaxed and gave the loud
grunt which stands in Landin for Just
look at thatv in English.
"The babbling and hammering
around him ceased, but while he still
stared at us, we saw veritable APP
partition. A white man, hung between
heaven and the depths of the gorge,
was racing along the top of the slip
perry girder. His helmet blew off, hung
poised, and then plunged in long tack
ing sweeps. The man was dressed
In cotton shirt, white trousers and
