HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

1t is interesting to note that State
Inspector Thomas, in his talk at the
Teachers Convention, spent most of
his time explaining Miss Lumlcy's
assignment in poetry He praised
this work, contrasting it with the old
method of blowing through Lycidas,
Chaucer's Prologue, etc. He laid
stress, especially on interest involved,
progress at the pupils own rate of
speed. and original work done. To
further emphasize his point Mr.
Thomas read several of the poems
written by students who had been
taught by this method. Among those
read were: The Snow Ferry, To an
Iris, Just a Boy, and the Block Sys-
TEN. If you are not acquainted with
this system come up to school; wen
be glad to explain it and show YOU
what the pupils are doing in the way
of original work.

Bride of Waldo c. Dick

Dan Cupid, overly active in Green

triumph in an affair which culminat-
ed at Freeport last Sunday, when

vows. The ceremony was performed
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon by the
Rev. Rex. Prof. and Mrs. L. w.
Rice, of Belleville, intimate friends of
the couple. were the attendants.
While it was pretty generally
understood that the contracting
parties had perfected arrangements
for just such a union of interests, the
.dnal act in the romance was staged
rauch earlier than had been antici-
pated by the friends of the couple.
The announcement of their marriage
was one of the big surprises Of the
week.
The bride is an estimable young
woman who has made many friends
in Monticello since coming here a lit
tic over a year ago. She is a daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. C. w. Heidbrink,
Of River Falls, and a graduate of the
state normal school at that place
She is not only proficient in her work
as a teacher but is a talented vocal
list.
The groom is the second son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Dick, of this viii
lage. He is a graduate Of the Month
cello high school and one of the pop
ular and promising young business
men of the village. He is now con-
nocted with the Peoples Supply COM
pany, in which concern it is under
stood, he is soon to become financially
interested.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dick expect to be
settled in a home of their own by the
end Of the present week, having
leased the vacant apartments over
Woelffer's drug store.
Tuesday evening the couple were
serenaded by the Monticello band, of
which Mr.. Dick is a member, at the
