Q Y 1 Palmyra is a pretty town of about a thousand inhabitants, forty miles west of Mil- waukee, on the Chicago, Milwaukee 81: St. Paul railroad. It is 850 feet above the seag the soil is dry, sandy and porous, and the air is clear and invigorating. In every direction are delightful drives to the numerous lakes and other interesting points, which make this part of Wisconsin so attractive. - -l 'The Eillcxge of Palmyra The beautiful village ol Palmyra is situated in the south-eastern part of the county oi Iefferson on Spring Lake of the Scuppernong river, on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad. It's name' was taken from the ancient city of Palmyra located in Palestine, in Asyria. Over seventy years ago the echoes of Cyrus Horton's ax broke the stillness of nature's sur- roundings in this valley and the echoes have been ringing ever since. Dr. Causdale was the next settler who was soon followed by others, having heard oi the advantages around the little river. Very soon the stream at this point was made an artificial lake and used for mill power. Mills were erected on its banks and very soon a village began to grow. It was in the fall of i843 that John Fish surveyed and laid out the beautiful village into lots and blocks, but it was not until 1866 that it had a sufficient population to entitle it to an incorporation. Since that time the village of Palmyra has grown steadily! Many fine buildings have been erected, until now it is one of the prettiest villages in southern Wisconsin with a population of about one thousand. lf l 0. P. DOW First editcr of the Palmyra Enterprise and the person who worked so incessantly for the erection of the Palmyra Free High School. The Palmyra High School Our High School is situated at the western extremity of the village on one of its most beauti- ful streets. Spacious grounds surround it, in which already grow several fine maple and oak trees. Many other trees have been planted and in a few years will be another element of beauty in our surroundings. The grounds which lie to the south and west of the school building are used by the students as a playground, while those to the north and east, form the lawn with trees and flower beds. Our school house was built in the year of 1896 and is a substantial structure of brick and stone. We are justly proud of it, for it is one of the best structures in the village. In the interior, the rooms are attractive and, for the most part, arranged so as to get the best advantage of the light, as well as for conveniences. I Officers JOHN A.

A compound microscope was added this year.

Several other pieces aid in the other branches of Physics. 4 P ' . .AQ .M ' The Ggriculiurcxl Glass The Agricultural class of 1904 have rented two acres of land near the High School and are suc- cessfully cultivating -the same. They have rye, corn, oats, potatoes and garden vegetables progress ing finely. We believe in uniting the practical with the theoretical. By the almost illiniitable extent of our fertile lends, by tradition, by the number and character of our people engaged in farming, by the amount and excellence of our agricultural surplus, we are an agricultural nation. Agriculture is easily the pa.ra,rnount industry of the United States. It is by our agriculture that. we are distin- guished above all other nations Agricultural supremacy and ascendancy is the natural, logical and manifest destiny of this nation. Agriculture, unaided and unprotected, is exporting one thousand millions of surplus its against tive hundred millions of all manufactures und other commodities together. VVe are capable, naturally capable, without artiiicial aid, without bounties or tariffs of increasing this enormous surplus almost indeginite- . . . . . . . . 1 7 . , A 1 '. ly. Agriculture is in fact and of right lmperial among the inoust-ries of the Lmted btates. The sphere o ag.: 1- culturul influence extends to the legislation affecting agriculture or the relations of agriculture to other indus- tries of the country, and that influence is, and should be, preponderant.- William Mclimley.

It also offers to those seeking rest and recre- ation an ideal, homelike retreat, combining the comforts of a well-organized and fully-equipped establishment, with freedom from the restraints and obligations of fashionable resorts. The Sanita- rium will receive for care and treatment all classes of cases excepting insanity, epilepsy, alcoholism and contagious diseases. The treatment in each case will be rational and scientific, and according to the latest advancement in medicine. In addition to the ordinary facilities common to first-class city institutions for the treatment of disease, the Sanitarium is especially well prepared for the treatment of those conditions requiring quiet, rest, pure air and pure food. It is so situated as to furnish all these in abundance. The Sanitarium is open all the year. 3 . Yi .L I The mammoth Qurelicm Spring Of this great geyser spring Professor Smith says: This spring is about twenty feet in depth, and upwards of fifty feet in diameter, the waters pushing up through a fine quicksand at the bottom. The waters are exceptionally clear and brill- iant, contain no sediment, and even after standing for some weeks deposit none. I regard this as the most remarkable spring I have ever examined, both in the unusual flow and beauty of the spring itself, and the admirable quality of the waters. Clear, brilliant and sparkling, free from organic mat- ters, with mineral salts in medium amount and in favorable combinations, this water is unquestion- ably a most desirable one, and one to be highly recommended.
