LET PARENTS ASSIST.
Their Co-operation In School Affairs

Their Cooperation In School Affairs
Is Urged.
The Webster school branch of the
st. Paul school union met last even
ing in the Webster school building and
listened to papers on How Can
Parents Cooperate With Teachers"
by Miss Miller, the principal Of the
school, and W. T. Kirk. An informal
discussing followed the papers, en-
gagged in by F. B. Wright, Mrs. w. L.
Chaplin, Mesdames F. B. Baird, Harry
T. Black, F. Willius and S. G. Olrnsted.
Miss Miller's paper was to the effect
that there was a decided need of more
sympathetic fellowship between the
parents and teachers, and a more
thorough knowledge of the efforts and
modes of the teachers work by the
parents. She said that to, make; the
need of cooperation Of parents. That
help would come to the teacher by a
more thorough inspection of the
monthly reports taken home by the
scholars. and that the parents were
too apt to jump at conclusions. That
the teachers invited inspection, ques-
tons and suggestions. She also said
that reverence was not a popularity
of the American girl and boy. That
democratic institutions tended to do
away with this feeling more or less,
but that the building up Of ideals in
the young mind should not be stunted
while the mind was in a plastic state
Also that comments Of an unfavorable
kind, if necessary at all, should be
made after the child was away. The
discussions were all along the same
line of thought. Prof. Congdon direct

Good Fellowship Club Going Up III
saW 4I Minnesota
The. anAla! h'rillon and excursion
of the Good Fellowship club will be
held this year May Ii at Harris AS
usual the eXcursionists will go by
water steamer having been chartered
for that purpose. Harris and the
camp grounds further up the river are
historic in the annals Of the Good
Fellows, pleas ant memories of the an
nual excursio as lingering in the minds
of all who have had the good fortune
to participate in the past events when
clam bake, genuine bouillon with the
true baclzwoods flavor, and other re-
freshments brought safety to the ap-
petite and fullness to the stomach.
The high stage Of water in the Mime
sofa river this year promises greater
enjoyment to the excursionists, as the
up-river country can be penetrated as
far as the pleasure of the party de
mands. There is but one requirement
to membership in the club this year,
as in previous seasons, and that Is tina,
each member must be a good fellow.
This is the cheapest picnic and excur
sion party out of the city each year,
and the event is doubly pleasurablo
because of congeniality among it's men,

THE ANNUAL. DISPOSITION OF GER
TIFICATES ON DELINQUENT
PROPERTY TAXES
BEGINS TOMORROW MORNING.
FIVE CIR SIX FIRMS MAKE A BUSI-
NESS OF PAYING THESE
TAXES.
xxNsEsT AT TWELVE PER CENT
Amount That Is Settled for in This
Way Has Nearly Doubled
Since 1893.

Commencing tomorrow morning
County Auditor Sullivan will begin the
sale of property on which the taxes for
1895 are still delinquent. There are
ever $4,000 pieces of property to be
sold and the sale will continue from
day to day until disposition has been
made of each description. The sale i'll
cludes property in all portions of the
city and it is expected that at least
S15O;00O will be realized. The taxes on
the property to be sold were due and
payable Jan. 1, 1896. On June 1, of the
same year, they became delinquent and
a 10 per cent penalty was added. Jan.
/, 1897 an additional penalty Of per
cent was added, making a Is per cent
penalty in all. All the property in the
city and county on which the taxes for
1895 have not been paid prior to May
l, will be included in the sale.
The persons who buy the property
will be given what is known as a tax
title certificate, and if the property Is
not redeemed in three years will be-
come the owners of the same. The
certificates draw IL per cent per annum
and are redeemable at any time after
the sale.-but the holder is entitled to
one months interest should the re-
deemption be made at any time within
one month after the sale. At the end
of the three years from the date OF
the sale the purchaser Of the title is
obliged under the law to give a sixty
days notice to the owner Of the prop
erty that the time for redemption is
about to expire. This notice is to be
given personally if the owner resides
in the county, and if not, 1t may be
made by publication.
The records of the county auditors
office show that there has been an in
crease of nearly so per cent in the
number of descriptions sold by reason
of delinquent taxes since 1893. Prior
to that year the number of pieces Of
property were less than 10000, this
year the number to be sold are given
as 361SS.
The sales made by the county auditor
are public but are usually attended by
less than score of persons, those At,
tending being parties interested in
some particular piece of property. Five
or six firms make a business of buying
