PRESIDENT =. q Harvey, of the normal
school at Milwaukee, read a paper on
country schools, and a paper on a SIM
liar topic written by State Superinten-
dent Prendergast, was read by his as
slstant, c. w. G. Hyde. He said in
substance:
That our rural schools are in a condition

though 1t is not denied that they have fur
brain and muscle OF the country.
This, In spite OF the fact that the terms of
the country schools are little more than half
as long as those In the CITY, while the dis
parity n the rate of taxation is so enormous
as to be absolutely appalling. The large cit
les manage to build some of the best school
houses In the world, secure the highest
priced teachers. furnish their buildings with
the most improved equipments. all for spe-
c1al tax OF about three mills on the dollar
while in the outlying districts special tax
OF 20 to % mills is by no means uncommon.

Still the best scholars in our high and nor
NAL schools today are those who come from
these high taxed, struggling backwoods and
prairie districts. The difference between
three mills and 25 is too WIDE and the state
should do even more than it does now in the
matter of rural education. The country
schools need not so much pity, but more JUS
tice and fair treatment. The general govern
ment should appropriate 81 for every pupil
who attends school three months in any dis
trict in the United States, and the state
of Minnesota should double it's state tax;
that is increase 1T from one mill to two
mills. sfS-5
Some discussion followed, led by J. H.

Miss Irene M. Meade, of the normal
school at Winoha. presented the claim

For beginners he believed the vertical

Mrs. Berggren Tells Chief Clark
About His Disappearance

Mrs. Godfrey u. Berggren, the wife
of the young Lothario who is supposed
to have eloped with a sixteen-year-old
girl named Beckman, called at the
central police station yesterday to
consult Chief Clark about the recov-
cry Of her husband, but the chief said
he could do nothing unless she swore
out warrant for desertion, which she
refused to do.
Berggren's home is at 1043 Payne
avenue, and he and the Beckman girl
We've rehearsing to take part in an
amateur theatrical performance. The
only reason for the elopement theory
is that the girl disappeared at the
same time that Berggren did, and
Berggren's writing to his wife from
Saltwater confessing that he had
wronged her. In that letter he said
he was going to Chicago, and he ad-
yised his wife to sell some Of the fur
niture to provide food for herself and
the children. He said he would meet
her in Chicago sometime in the fut-
pre-.
AS Berggren and the girl seem to
have been stage struck, it is thought
that they may contemplate the graf
ification of their ambition in this di-
rection. Berggren was a cutter in a
shoe factory, and had nicely fur
nished home.

ROUND TABLEfDIsCUssIoN.
Child Study the Subject That Was
is e. Under Consideration


The elementary Section of the State
Educational association held round
table discussion in the,Gparlors of the
Windsor hotel yesterday afternoon,
upon the subject Of child study. In
opening the session Chairman L. H.
'Galbreath, Of Winona, explained the
object Of the division In treating the
different phases of child study and
outlined briefly what had already been
accomplished in this line of work The
programme, containing the outline and
subdivision Of the subject, was then
taken up and generally discussed by the
meeting.
Prof. Hays, the first speaker, briefly
stated his observations along this line
OF investigation, and in conclusion
stated as the first steps to be taken
that 1t should be .ascertained what we
are, how we become So and what should
be made Of the children. Prof. Mag
nus thought a proper conception of
the child character would revolutionize
educational methods. He said hereto
fore educators had INDUCED in brain
study and abnormal. developments in
children. This was not child study,
but a perversion Of the proper methods
of educating the children Dynamic
in the opinion of Prof. Magnus, practi-
cally solve the question before the meet
Ing. Prof. Snack said too many peo-
pie thought child Study began with the
child. This, in his opinion, was a mis-
take. The character Of q child was
matter of continued environment, and
in the Investigations to be made by
those present, ancestors and antece-
cents should be studied. DR.. P. H.
Rowe presented some interesting facts
tending to prove that, though the phe-
nomena OF child life had been subjected
to much inquiry, they had never re-
ceived scientific investigation, which he
considered necessary to proper under
standing of child nature. Prof. Gale,
OF the state university, concluded the
discussion with q. resume of what nsv-
chology had accomplished in revealing
the peculiar characteristics of children.
PREVIOUS to adjournpnent a permanent
organization was formed for the pur-
pose of further carrying on the study
OF child character. The officers elected
were: President, 81 S. Parr. of ST
LOUD; secretary iandt treasurer, L. H.
SaIoeath, OF Wfnena directors, E. Den
Ieid, OF Duluth; MissgGertrude Ellis, Of
austin; A. w. Rankin9of Minneapolis.

HIGH scHooB COURSE
Subjected to long Discussion From
Many Points of View.

Most interesting, perhaps, Of the aft
ernoon sectional meetings was that of
the high school section In Room 10 at
the high school. = 1t was full of topics
at once so important and so adversely
looked upon that the discussion lasted
until nearly o'clock. with many SUBJ
1ects barely touched upon.
Two papers on English Study" OPEN
ed the meeting, Supt. s. S. Parr of st.
Cloud, dealing with it in the grammar
grades. and Prof. W. F. Webster, of the
East Minneapolis high school, discuss
ing the high school work. Mr.. Parr
urged wide field Of literary study that
beside familiarizing the pupils with the
best English construction, should car
ry with it a widening Of the fund of
Information obtained In other studies.
Prof. Webster further urged that in the
higher grades. the literary work be Sc
lected by the teacher, mindful Of the
fact that the main object of educa ton
was the building of.character. So COM
prehensive were these papers that they
exhausted time IS well as the subject
and the round table conference was
much overdue when recess was taken

Three papers We're on the programme

wavs of improving the country schools.
His chief suggestion was that the de-

vision were the most marked Ceter-
rents from good work The superin-
tendents had much to do, and a closer
watching would be beneficial to the
whole work.
State Aid for Schools of One or

signed to X. w. Buell., and he favored
the johnson bill, which passed the
last house of representatives, but failed
