classmates. Oral and written COM
positions enliven the modern class
room, enrich the lives of all pre-
sent, give the STUDENTS a better
chance to know each other, give the
teacher a better understanding of
her young pupils. Best of all per-
haps is the fine social fellowship
that develops.
There can be no better training
for life than that which grows out
of the modern classroom where flu
ture citizens are exchanging their
ideas under the guidance and help
of the teacher.
Education should build character.
I know of no better way to build
character than through wise and
appreciative reading. The wealth Of
literature cannot be measured.
Books open the gates to land of
enchantment, and the young lad or
girl passes easily into this land.
Byron has said of literature:
Parent of golden dreams, Ro-
nance!
Auspicious queen of childish
joys,
Who lead'st along, in airy dance,
Thy votive train of girls and
boys"
In the modern trend of teaching
literature much stress is placed on
the individual. We no longer are
driving our pupils who have var
led interests, capacities, abilities
over the same hurdles at the same
rate of speed. The teachers posi-
ton in the study Of literature be-
comes that of individual guidance,
of stimulating interest, of help in
the Interpretation OF the reading
The state has shown this educa-
tional change of individual train
ing. In the new course or study new
and adventurous stories are added
to the reading list. There are books
that appeal to all types of boys and
girls. Adventure on land and sea,
travel, romance, science, biography
are some Of the groupings. The
young reader has a wide field from
which to make his selection. Aided
by the wise guidance of the ljbrar-
ian, the children receive the finest
of our literature. At all times the
library stands by as an indispensa-
BILE aid in the teaching Of literature.
Through the best that Is written,
the highest ideals of character are
instilled.
Through English we are striving
to reach our goal-the training of
young people through the medium
of English by creating an early
love for reading, appreciation of
good literature, and the power to
write and speak well.

a contest for the seventy or eighty
Sank Centre fans that followed the
team on this occasion as it promis-
ed to be. That the Harvey lads are
heavy scorers is apparent by the
fact that they scored 8 field goals
to only Melted by Osakis. That
they are someday going to lose a
ball game on foul shots is evidenc-
ed by the fact that they sunk only
out of 9 attempts, while Osakis
netted 8 out of IA. Osakis made no
better percentage than did we, but
they missed just exactly enough to
swallow our lead and tie us. Kel-
dahl, usually good for several goals,
was pretty well bottled up last
Tuesday. Playing the type of de-
Tense that Osakis did three men
covered him, but ne still came thru
with two goals. Johnny was long on
the scoring end with Z points. Bud
Carpenter did a nice job of cover
ing Peterson, who is reputed to be
the strong man OF the Osakis
quint. Scanlon and Decree played
a nice defensive game. 1t may be
added that Peterson and Quinn of
Osakis showed sporty game and
fought to the last ditch, as did
their mates, to overcome the Sank
Centre lead. The following is the

Well Under WAY
Local Girl Selected To Receive Trip
To Minnesota State Fair
This Year

The county All Club program
for 1885 started the first of jan
uary and so far quite great deal
has been accomplished. In spite Of
the terrible drouth conditions in
the county last year, the county
percentage of enrolment and fin
ish-up was 80 per cent, according to
Mr.. Giberson, district club leader
at Morris. This is very good show
ing, but with such an early start
this year, we plan to have even a
much better percentage for 1885.
The following clubs have either
had preliminary meeting to plan
for the annual meeting, or have al
ready had their organization meet
ing: Raymond-Ashley in Sank Gen.
ire, Lynden All Club in Clearwat-
er, Willing Workers in South Ha-
ven, st. Joseph All club, the Unity
and Gopher Prairie All Clubs in
Sank Centre. Nearly every one of
these clubs are planning to pro-
duce a one-act play in preparation
for the County and District one-act
play contest about April 1. The
Sank Valley Club met for the first
time Tuesday evening, January %,
at Henry Undersander, st. Cloud.
The Holdingford 4-H Sunshine
Club is meeting in conjunction with
the Holdingford PTA meeting on
Thursday evening. Parker Ander-

Following the report of A. J.
Nelson on the new club room pro-
ject, in which he stated that the
committee had taken no action
owing to the proposed new City
Hall, the club members voted to
remodel the club rooms. The rooms
on the west side or the building will
be made into one long room, and
will be partitioned Off. This space
will be for the exclusive use of the
Community club. The large room
and the band room will be used for
meetings of other organizations and
for band practices. Work on this
project will be commenced as soon
as possible and the labor will be
taken care of by men on the relief
rolls.
President Scott called on the
committee chairmen for reports on
the various activities of the club
during the year. J. N. Jackson re-
ported on Santa Claus day.sHis re-
port showed that the event was
very successful. w. NJ. Parker re-
ported on the clubs relief commit
tee. He stated that the relief office
in this city had been conducted
from June to November 20 at an
expense of $128. The business men
of the city raised S2225.O0 as a re-
volving fund for the purchase of
hay, and this amount has been re-
turned. D. B. Caughren donated the
room for the office, the lights
were contributed and the expense
of telephone was taken care of by
the District Manager of the North
western Bell Telephone Co. One
man from each of the four town
ships of this community and c. H.
Holcombe, George Strauss, w. H.
Rattle, and Frank Pangburn work
ed with the committee. There are
437 farmers in the four townships
which were taken care of from this
city, and 402 of them received aid
during the drouth period.
Reports on the proposed minstrel
show were made by Carl Fischer
and Robert Newman. Fred I'm
ger reported on Turkey day, and
recommended it be held again next
year.
It was reported that the skating
rink at the end of Second and Ash
Streets Is now being flooded, and
that the other Kinks of the city are
in excellent condition.
Following the business session
the members enjoyed a delicious
lunch Of cake and coffee.

street southwark over the railroad
tracks to the city limits, and that
was a fight to the finish. 1t fought
the stock-yards from the residence
part of the city, stood stiffly for
the City Hall and new library
buildings. 1t helped In the two rail-
way schemes, the L. F. & D., and
the Katy branch, and after a
strenuous fight lost out in the Du-
luth, Huron and Denver and the
800" extension from Paynesville
up through Spring Hill and Metre
Grove. The Herald fought hard for
county division which might have
been accomplished If the 800"
branch had been built; advocated
the location of the Northern Insane
Asylum on the site now occupied by
the Home School for Girls, and the
extension of Main street by bridge
across the Narrows as a highway
into southern Todd county.
my career in Sank Centre was
not eventful in any marked de-
gree. I made many friends, warm
friends, most of whom have gone
on before. My attachment of the
little city which saw emerge from
swaddling clothes into knicker-
lbockers is deep-seated and sincere.
There 1 buried my parents; there
were my chadren born, and there
spent my life's meridian.
mo wonder it appeals to my af-
fectionate remembrance so strong
ly, beyond all question it is, in
many respects, the best city of its
class in Minnesota.
Joy to it and Its very resident,
May you all live long and prosper
Sincerely,

Livestock Report Flayed
C. b. Crandall, Cooperative Head,
Den0unces Findings of Doc
tor Dowell

The recent Dowell report to Sec
rotary Wallace of the United States
Department of Agriculture on the
effects Of direct buying of livestock
in rural centers drew fiery retort
Wednesday from c. B. Crandall,
President Of the Central Co-Opera-
tive Association OF South st. Paul.
Farmers of Minnesota have suf-
fered many Iickings' from the
packing industry, but this is the
first time the licking has come
from the Minnesota College Of Ag-
riculture through one Of its educa-
tors in defiance Of and in opposi-
ton to thousands Of farmers In the
state who have patiently striven for
legislative protection from the VIC
ious practices Of direct buying" Mr..

The opening event Of the evening
was the second game, and the Sank
Centre quint jumped into the lead
to build it up Throughout the game.
Dubois opened the scoring with a
goal, and Walker followed on a

These second team contests have
special significance. They do not
exhibit the best type OF ball, but
they do have plenty Of fight and
spirit. Coach Harvey has far
sightedly scheduled IL games with
second teams for this season. It Is
the second team that Is the future
first team, and with practice we
need not worry about Sank Centres
future teams. There Is some very
promising material on that quint,
and next year they should go far.
