ALICE H. SHULTES Miss Shultes, a former supervisor of practice, is taking a well earned rest this year. Her Imppv smile and friendly greeting have been greatly missed by both faculty and students. She came to the River Falls Normal School in 1886, when the school was in its eleventh year. During her twenty-five years of service, she has done much to advance the school to its present, high rank. Her preparation for her work is excellent. She is a graduate of the Winona Nornal School. She was a student at Howard Annex, now Radcliff College, for four years doing special work, and has taken a Summer School course in pedagogy at Oxford, England. Her teaching work, before coming here, included work in the rural schools, in various departments of graded schools for the city schools of Boston, and in reformatory schools for women. This broad training and experience has been of particular, value to her in her chosen work as supervisor of the Training Department. Her many years of connection with the River Falls Normal School has made her a powerful force in the educational work of the State. More than a thousand graduates have been trained in her departments. Many have become prominent in the teaching profession, while others are successful in other lines of work. The value of her work is inestimable. She has always stood for high ideals and accepted only the best from the students in her charge. Miss Shultes is now at Columbia University, spending her leave of absence in special study of educational problems. Her many years of experience have given her a good basis for this investigation. 22

Htbrarians I rrnt Crotrlto Every school must have its library. Wo have one of which we are proud, but when it is-remodeled, we are told it will be doubly proud of it. Miss Mosher, our head librarian, watches with jealous care the welfare of the books. And the care of twelve thousand volumes is no small task. She also keeps an intellectual eye on the book world and when opportunity offers adds many a valuable book to our shelves. She is ably assisted by Miss Flint, Miss Comstock and Miss Schumacher. But how could the school be run at all without some one to take our money, check up our standings and write our Proxy’s letters? It simply can’t be done. That’s why we have Miss Crowley. 21

QTfje Eealm of ©uietube The smooth and quiet waters, That shady little nook— Enjoyed by every suitor Who strolls down to the brook. Unmolested and secluded, In deep and dark ravine, Where the fishes swim at leisure Flows the rippling, lillle stream. O'er the rocks, the crags, and ridges, In a rush and tumbling 'round, “We must hurry, hurry onward, A$ you know we're ocean bound. 2:1
