Climax 'Talk.

Don’t you want to come ? The
Sunday schools of Climax, Metho
dist, Baptist and Presbyterian, will
unite with the High school, we bear,
in a picnic on May 22nd,—that be
ing the last dav of the term. It has
been a gratifying year of school
work—not only in sohool but one of
it. The people of Climax are opeu-
hearted, generous and feel enough
interest id their children to give
hearty co-operation to the teachers
in their work, and we feel sure they
will bring forward the funds for
building a new school house. This
is tbe greatest need of tbe town.
We agree heartily to “Plow
Boy’s” sentiments. We would like

mer Sohool whioh has been instituted

cation board has subscribed a like
amount and the board of trustees of
the State University bave given $1,-
000 for the support of the sohool
It is estimated that more than five
hundred teachers left the state last
summer for this special course, and
it is hoped by this school to afford
these the same or better advantages
at less expense. We trust that as
many t>f our teachers as possible will
avail themselvers of this excellent
opportunityovhich has never before
been afforded them.
