A group of bankers from Mime
apOlis and Morris called on the school
to look over the school building and
the new teachers manse. They were
shown through the various depart
ments of the school as we'll as those of
the first complete teachers home in
the world. They were deeply i'm
pressed especially with the teachers
manse, saying that such homes for
teachers must soon be even in the
bigger towns, to say nothing of the
rural schools where no living facilities
for teachers are to be found. They
agreed that this would mean a new
thing for better schools in the country
districts, especially in the rural con-
solidated schools.
Prof. Grafelman is reported to feel
the deepest gratitude to those of his
friends who so generously subscribed
to the fund with which was Sc
cured the splendid present given him
when he moved into his new home
quarters. This consisted of a splendid
new oil stove and oven, with freless
cooker. He sometimes gets to feel
that the people do not appreciate what
is done for them, but such demon
strations of loyalty are a powerful
remedy to remove such hurtful i'm
pressions. He wants his heartiest
thanks expressed to these friends of
his and the district. Such demonstra-
tions means adde1 inspiration and in
creased service in the school.
The date of dedication of the school
manse has been postponed by Pres.
Vincent and Supt. Schultz from Fri
day, Feb. 9, to Friday, Feb. 16.
This will be the final date or dedica-
ton. Pres. Vincent says: "We are
looking forward with much interest to
the celebration at Alberta. This will,
think, mark new epoch in the con-
solidated school movement IN Mime
sofa and in the United States.''

teams will entertain their guests in

school manse. Here is good luck fol-
Alberta.
