ST. PAUL, Nov. ia special COM

the coming legislature ON the matter of
changing the present, school district
system to the township system, in use
throughout the East, and favored by
State superintendent Pendergast, and
the great majority of state superintend-
ents and educators throughout the
country. The county superintendent
in a convention recently held at the
university, voted unanimously in favor
of the change. It has been shown that
the township system leads to a closer
supervision, a reduction i'm the number
of trustees, more equal taxation and a
more impartial selection of school teach
ers. The proposed change does not
affect the municipalities.
