SCHOOL NOTES.,

On Monday, April 10Th. committee
of Rev. Oehler, c. F. Olson, and Geo.
@. Brohaugh spent the day in Minnea-
polls visiting different school furniture
| concerns. The object of the visit was
to select furniture for the Junior High
School. The committee was kept busy
all day from eight in the morning until
tive-thirty at night and they feel that
the visit was very profitable. Bids
| from the different manufacturers of
furniture will be opened at the Office
| of superintendent April 2Sth at
o'clock p. m.
Parents Visiting Day which was
held throughout the school system last
! Friday brought out large number of
parents who had not before visited
! school this year. This was just what
we wanted. If the patrons of the
| school would come to see us more
often to get acquainted with the
| teachers who have ;charge of their
children they would understand our
problems better and be in a position to
| cooperate with us much more than
! they can do unless they are acquainted.
| Visitors are always welcome and we
| hope that next year many more will
come. In addition to the large number
| of ladies who visited us we noted the
| following men whom we were more
| than glad to see: Rev. Nilsen, E. A.
| Peterson, w. Nj. Scott, P. J. Elkjer, G.
| E. Odell, P. c. Peterson and Rev. Och
| Ter.
