The first effect of the election of Mrs.
Jennie C. Crays to the board of educa-
ton was seen yesterday. Mrs. Crays'
vote changed an old established rule of
the board of education. The women's
auxiliary of the board of worlds fair
commissioners will be allowed to take
up a collection in the schools to pay for
watha." Twice before has this mat
ter been before the board OF edu-
cation and twice has the request
of the ladies been refused. The board
didn't want an collections taken in the
schools, such procedure working
hardship on poor children. Mrs. L. P.
Hunt, of Mankato, who has charge of
this project, appeared before the board
personally yesterday and pleaded her
cause. She expected that 81, 800 would
be.raised in the schools The balance
of the 5000 necessary will be made up
by private parties. About 1910 has al
ready been raised. Mrs. Hunt felt that
she could assure the board that the
statue would be set up, after the fair,
either in Minnehaha park or on the
university campus. Director Rolfe
warmly opposed the proposition. He
was opposed TO the school collection on
principle. He was certain that the statue
would never come TO Minneapolis. He
had been assured that Mrs. F.B. Clarke.
of st. Paul, the head and front
of the women's auxiliary, would
never allow Minneapolis to have
that statue. When this proposition
was up before Director Austin voted
with Rolfe and Norton aud defeated it.
