Lake Crystal, September 7.-At
$3.50 Tuesday morning the old school
bell shook the rust from its rusty
Joints and began tolling TO call the
children to come and enroll at nine
o'clock for another long term OF
school. The bell seemed to raise a
stir In this little city. and 1t wasn't
long before the sidewalks were
crowded with children all heading In
the same direction, soEe with BOOKS
that school was about to begin, CIV
ing them q chance Of taking another
step towards the goal from where
they viii launch out into the world
for themselves. Others, especially
the lower grades, TO whom the goal
was still q faint mark In the future,
went along wondering what fate hao
In store for them, and whether the
teacher would be kind and, pleasant
or Cross, and above all lamenting
the fact that vacation was over and
hard work and books loomed up as q
dark cloud before their eyes. Still
another class passed towards the
school seeming Indifferent to the
toll of the bell. and not caring whe-
ther they got there on time or not
They did not complain among them
selves that school had started, neithef
did they seem glad, but were Wiling
to accept their fate which every
way It night turn. It is those dif-
ferent dispositions amongst the chill
dren that makes the work Of teach
ing interesting TO the teachers. II
