I A good story comes from Mee¬ ker County Minnesota, and has ■o do witli a well-known coun¬ try school district there. ■ When it came time last sum to hire a teacher, the local ■oil'd discovered that there Hwe two applicants, both you Bgmen. As to the salary there ■fas no difference between their Rids, but the second one insis¬ ted that .if he was employed, ■be Board should provide a dic lionary for the schoolroom. The ■first one made no such demand, ■nd said that he would be well ■able to get along without a dic¬ tionary. As he expressed it, it Iras useful only in the matter of ■defining w ords and giving their ■‘pronunciation. I Number one got the school, ■hast the Board made its first I’isit to the building. Every¬ thing went well for the first fif¬ teen minutes, but finally a red¬ headed, Iherearof freokled-faced youth in the room held up his light hand and snapped his fi Pger in a very energetic manner. I‘‘What is it Charlie?” askd Pe teaoher. I “I want to knw how to pro¬ pounce a word,” said Charlie. ■“Spell it,” replied the teacher, I Charlie, in a loud voice, spell¬ ed out the word,“ vocabulary.” “Vocabulary,” responded the teacher, the placing the accent on bull,” and lie added as to its [meaning; “Appertaining to harned cattle. The Board cut short its visit a nd is now looking for a new teacher and getting ready to huy an unabridged dictionary. —Minneapolis Journal. For Sale One house for sale by J. D.

During the three years I have been at the head of the school hero you have given me much lavol support and sympathy, for which I desire to give assurance of profound appriciation. I owe you nothing hut to love you. By my resignation submitted to the board several weeks ago, my connection with the Con¬ yers Public School was served at the close of the term. If 1 have in any measure been com¬ manded to you favor, I trust it has beeu by no greater magic than conscientious attention to the business you entrusted to my hards. The iiruit of my labors mnst be my witness, my boys and girls—God bless them every one and ma ;e them use¬ ful man and women—are my epistles. Some of them have al¬ ready entered the best college in the state; others will do so this fall. They are there brought in fair contest with the best trained boys and girls in the country. I trust that my pride in their records is pardon¬ able. It rejoices me as well as you that in several instances they have taken honors over all competitors. I began teaching here three years ago with an opening at¬ tendance of 80 pupils the fullest opening, I was repeatedly told in the history of the school. The attendance increased dur ing the year to 220. The attendance during the second year was 225. The attendance during the year just closed was 175. Tho falling off in attend ance this year was due to influ ences over which I had no con trol, this is known by all who have sense enough to reason, Another thing: At the begin¬ ning of the school year just ended I recommended an in crease of the teaching forces and specially that male assist¬ ant be elected for the higher grades, in order that I might be relieved from continuous and ardu r ious teaching to that ex- tent that I might intelligently and properly perform those du¬ ties of detail as superintendent and principal, the performance of which I regarded and do re gard as a necessary condition to the sucetss of the school over what it had alreadj attained The experiences of the year only confirmed me in that judgement. I had assurances that the members of the board were in sympathy with the re¬ commendation, but were ham¬ pered by financial inabilities. I was not given any reason to hope for a betterment of circum¬ stances but instead, was made to witness during part of the year a bitter fight made on some of the best men on the board and in the town on most puerile grounds. In the |ab sence of compliance with my recommendation and of hopes for future compliance with them I reluctantly submitted my res¬ ignation. I trust I have at heart the good of the school as well as my own interest and was threforerejoiced that in the election of teachers Monday night the board sanctioned the wisdom of my recommendation in part, at least by electing a male assistant- It doubtless occurs to some that it smacks of injustice to adopt my recom mondation after I hadj been 23.

But of this I have nothing to say, except that I am confident the recom¬ mendation was prudent and that the action of the board was wise and will not be regretted. The board felt authorized for the first to give substantial ex¬ pression to what was, I am sure, their will all the time. I am not unmindful of the kind ties shown me by the board and I sympathize with them in their thankless talk of trying to please the public. This action of the board may mean that the Public school system has been safely nursed through its Infan¬ cy and is casting off its swad¬ dling cloths. I hope it is so. I am now a citizen of the town and as such shall rejoice at any evidence of the schools prosper¬ ity. For any rnan to oppose tl:e school interest of a commu¬ nity is ouly to advertise his own ignorance, conceit, selfish¬ ness and tolly. Wishing for the school sys¬ tem continued success, and pledging my cordial co-operation to that end, and suggesting that, first of all, we stand by our new teachers and help them succeed, 1 am Very respectfully.
