Dover school opened Monday, Sept. 10, with a very fair attendance.

Following are the names of teachers for ensuing year: H. G. Blanch, principal; Mrs. H. G. Blanch, assistant; Miss Abbie Hendrix, primary teacher.

During the summer months the school building has been considerably repaired and provided with new and good heating apparatus-a long and much needed improvement. Before winter sets in, the building is to be fitted with storm houses and windows.

The board are very liberal in their appropriations for the supply of apparatus and free texts. H. G. B.

Fraulein Schoen, who has been spending the summer in Europe, has not yet returned to her classes, being prevented by illness. Miss Isabel Wells, of the senior class, takes charge of the fraulein's classes until her return.

The political clubs of the university, representing all parties, have organized and are planning to carry on a vigorous campaign this fall.

The football interests of the university are not likely to suffer this year. The team is strong all along the line, and will doubtless continue to hold the championship of the west.

The new fellowship, known as the Howard fellowship, amounting to $160, is now available. It will be assigned to some alumnus of the university, to enable him to prosecute graduate work at the U.

Clarence L. Whitman '94 is said to be a candidate for county superintendent of Steele county. Friends of Miss Mary L. Blanchard will be pleased to read the following from the last issue of the Ariel: "Miss Mary Blanchard '88, who is now in the 'U,' working for the degree of doctor of philosophy, is covering herself with glory in the literary line. We frequently notice, in different inagazines, poems and stories over her signature. The New England Magazine contains a story of hers. It is entitled 'Bob,' and was the one which took first place in a contest here last winter."

President Northrop will visit his daughter Elizabeth during the last part of October and the first of November. The climate of New Mexico agrees with Miss Northrop, and she is gaining decidedly in health and strength.

School the entire year. Students may enter at any time and select their own studies, NORTHERN INDIANA NORMAL SCHOOL AND BUSINESS INSTITUTE, Valparaiso, Indiana.

IN THE UNITED STATES.

THE LARGEST AND BEST EQUIPPED NORMAL SCHOOL Departments. Preparatory, Teachers (including Kindergarten Work, Teachers' Training Class and Pedagogy), Collegiate, (including Scientific, Classic and Select Courses), Special Science, Civil Engineering, Pharmacy, Commercial, Music, Fine Art, Phonography and Typewriting, Telegraphy and Review. Each department is a school within itself, yet all, with the exception of private lessons in Music, are INCLUDED IN ONE TUITION.

Specialists as instructors are provided for each department. Though the attendance is large, yet the classes are sectioned so as to contain on an average not to exceed 50 students. The Commercial Department in connection with the school is everywhere acknowledged to be the most complete Commercial College in the land. It is supplied with the most extensive line of offices ever attempted by any Business School.

No other institution of learning offers for one tuition anything like the many subjects from which to select. The best evidence that the work is satisfactory is the constantly increasing demand for those trained here.

Expenses less than at any other place. Tuition $10 per term. Board and furnished room $1.50 to $1.90 per week. Catalogues mailed free. Twenty-first year opens September 5th. ADDRESS H. B. BROWN, PRINCIPAL, OR O. P. KINSEY, ASSOCIATE.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES.

A perfect job means: Perfect slate, set perfectly, to insure perfect joints, and a slate of dark blue color and dull finish to rest the eye and save it from strain or other injury. Such a board will never cost a cent for repairs.

Why do we claim these points of perfection, and why can no other firm guarantee them? Because all our work is done by men from our office, and we are the only firm in the country making a specialty of this work. We are pioneers and experts in the business. And here is our proof, open for your inspection. The Douglas School (28 rooms), Chicago; ten Duluth school buildings, including the High School; thirty school buildings in Minneapolis; ten in Omaha; six in Sioux City; and one or more in Denver, Colorado Springs, Brainerd, Stillwater, Brandon (Manitoba), Pittsburg (Kas.), Independence (Mo.), Northfield, Glencoe, Lake City, etc., etc.

ST. JAMES.

The schools open with six new teachers. M. H. Manvel, superintendent; Miss Amanda Veigel, 7th and 8th grades and in charge of high school; Miss Lawrence, 5th and 6th grades; Miss Grace Lee, St. Cloud '94, 2d grade, and Misses Roberts and Pinney, 1st grade. The new course outlined in the manual will be followed. The library now numbers about 1,200 volumes.

The high school pupils edit a school column in the local newspaper. The building, which is only four years old, is very crowded.

Money is on hand to purchase apparatus for laboratories.

Literary work is carried on by high school students in their society. Short, lively teachers' meetings are held weekly.

Quiet halls and orderly dismissals are special features of the discipline.

HUTCHINSON-The board of education has torn out the Ruttan system of dry closets.

LONG PRAIRIE-The eminent success obtained under the able direction of Prof. Cotton gives great promise for the ensuing year, as school will open with an additional room and every facility for efficient work.--Argus.

Henry S. Baker, principal of the Jefferson school, St. Paul, and Carrie M. Robbins, of Mankato Normal school, attended the summer school at Clark university.

Cut down all Russian thistles about your school house, instruct all pupils to cut down every one they see, and the government need not appropriate a million to exterminate them. Why not give a premium to school children, to be used in buying library books, for every fifty thistles they destroy?

We are in receipt of an attractive catalogue of the Breck school, Wilder, Minn.

Read Senator Davis' speech against the Kyle resolution, not for political effect but to inspire patriotism.

H. G. Klepper is elected superintendent of schools at Wahpeton, N. D., where we shall hear from him occasionally.

See advertisement of James D. Ball, page 28. We commend these two engravings, especially "The Ladies of the White House," to all who want an attractive picture for their school or home.

Freeman E. Lurton, Carleton '94, was elected at Slayton, but resigned to accept the department of history and political science in the West Side High school, Milwaukee, at $1,300. with $100 increase per year up to $1,700. Mr. L. cannot be blamed for accepting so complimentary an offer, although he was loath to leave Minnesota. It seems we cannot keep all our good men.

IRON RIVER, Wis.-The public school exhibit took prizes galore at the county fair, and Prof. Remington, his teachers and pupils are all happy.

Geo. Schlumpberger, of New Ulm, an old and valued subscriber of SCHOOL EDUCATION, made a pleasant call at our office. He is now engaged with the Andrews School Furniture Co.

NOBLES CO.-Supt. T. B. McGuire is afflicted with typhoid fever. SCHOOL EDUCATION joins his many friends in hoping for his speedy and complete recovery.

SLAYTON W. W. Smith, Dartmouth '93, 18 elected superintendent of schools. Mr. S. is highly recommended. Ex-Principal Ruque bids fair to be county superintendent. If he is, Murray county will be well served.

teacher. A. M. Webster could not be more popular than his work at Mapleton has made him in the county, and the kindest compliments are sent for Misses Rafferty and Wales. There was practically no tardiness during the school. The school was helpful more in method and spirit than in intellectual attainment. It was to many an educational revival which will be felt in better work in the schools in the county this winter.

MONTEVIDEO-With A. M. Webster in charge and 346 pupils the first day, we are encouraged. Mr. Bauer will teach German, mathematics and the sciences. Two courses are arranged for the high school, modelled after the plan presented by High School Inspector Aiton. One looking to the university; the other designed for those who will not attend any other school. The corps

Ex-State Supt. John Ogden, of North Dakota, has a series of five lectures on the "Laws of Learning and Growth," which are well received by all who hear them.

WHEATON PUBLIC SCHOOLS-Course of study for '94-'95 at hand. We cull from it. Library 150 volumes. Outside classes for those who wish, to teach. Text books sold to pupils at cost. Some of the rules for government of pupils impress us as savoring a little of the "omnipresent must" and "must not."

LUVERNE-Supt. C. E. Guthrie sends us his new "Rules and Course of Study." We would gladly see a changed manner in presenting rules and regulations. The course of study seems well arranged and the list of library books well chosen. Supt. G. will conduct a good school, anyway, and Luverne is to be congratulated.

STEARNS CO.-Seventy-three applicants at examination. Fifteen secured second and 29 third grade certificates, and 29 were rejected.

County Supt. Hannah Swindlehurst, of Wadena county, has accepted a position in the Minneapolis schools.

The manager of SCHOOL EDUCATION has visited several schools in Minneapolis and St. Paul during Oct. He finds it impossible to say all the good things he would be pleased to, if space allowed. Perhaps by and by we can devote nearly all of one or two numbers of our paper to printing the merited compliments of city and other schools of the state.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury.

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally, and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonials free.

The history of this old Indian Mission of ST. IGNATIUS is very interesting. Send CHAS. S. FEE, Gen. Pass. Agent, Northern Pacific R.
