OF Lesser Importance.

Mrs. Smith, from the school CON-
mittee, recommended that twenty
academic dictionaries and code music
be purchased, also that a typewriter
be purchased for the use of the teach
ers and superintendent, although the
committee was not unanimous on the
latter recomme ndation.
On motion of Captain KeYsor, the
two first items were adopted.
Mr.. Fairy moved that the recon
mendation in regard to the typewrit-
er was adopted, but this received no
second.
On motion of Mr.. Wilson, it was
voted to have no school THURSDAY
afternoon or all day Friday of next
week, owing to the street fair. Supt.
Varney stated that many of the
pupils take part in one or the other
of the street fair entertainments.
On motion of Mr.. Wilson the super
intendent's recommendations regard
to language book was referred to
the school committee and superin-
tendent with power to act.
Capt. Keysor reported that there
are 16 or Is stoves in the Union build
irg, and people have offered to buy
them.
On Mr.. Wilson's motion, this mat
ter was referred to the committee on
property and expense with power to
act. Some of the newer stoves may
be exchanged for old stoves in the
other buildings.
Joseph Manderfeld offered to REIN
ish the high school woodwork with
three coats for 1926 and wait for his
pay until the tax levy comes in. He
would do the work on Saturdays and
in vacation during the winter.
On motion of Mr.. Wilson, the COM
mittee on property and expense was
directed to obtain bids for the work
and report in two weeks.
The bills were allowed, and the
board adjourned for two weeks, when
the committee on property and ex-
pense is to report the amount Of fuel
needed for the year.

Sinking Fund Dropped.

Mr.. Fletcher opposed the provision
for a sinking fund to meet the high
school bonds. He preferred to wait
until the last three years before the
bonds become due and then raise
$4,000 and refund the remaining $780,
900 with short time bonds, several
maturing each year. He said that If
the city had no floating debt the
board might start the fund now, but
the city's financial condition is bad,
it's floating debt is growing, and moth
ing better in the future can now be
seen. Taxes in Mankato are already
too high and he did not favor adding
the sinking fund to them,
Capt. Keysor moved that the report
be adopted except the part relating
to the sinking fund.
Mr.. Parry: What are the disad-
vantages of sinking fund? I would
like to be enlightened on that"
Mr.. Cray: 81 can think of but one.
The money raised would lie idle I'M
less it was prudently invested at a
low rate of interest, say in certifi-
Gates of'deposit."
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1898-10-14

Mr.. Wilson suggested that it would
not injure the credit of the district If
some of the bonds were paid before
they became due. An individual
makes arrangements to pay his debts,
and the school district ought to do
the same. He was in favor of sink
ing fund.
Mr.. Fletcher said that the sinking
fund would not draw much interest.
II any Of the bonds were paid before
they were due, it would be necessary
to pay premium on them, with
money as plentiful as it is now.
Capt. Keysor said that the city's
conduct of it's financial affairs has
nothing to do with the school district.
II the city is now or a borrowing
basis, he did not think that that fact
should be allowed to cripple our edu-
cational advantages, which are highly
important. The school board had
been economical in the past and
should continue to be so in the
future.
Capt. Keysor's motion was carried
by vote of five to one.

School House Breaking.

Continuing, Mr.. Varney said: 1.-Two
boys, Willie Swan and Eddie Evans,
broke into the West Mankato school
building about 700 p. M, and stole
books and paints to the amount of So.
The teachers traced the theft down
and | obtained the property. One Of
the boys is enrolled in the school and
the other intends to enter soon. They
sold one geography to Stewart &
Holmes, receiving S1.10. l took this
book, therefore the dealers are the
losers. 1 have no power in this mat
ter, yet l think it ought to be severely
dealt with. There has been trouble
in that district over acts of that sort,
SO much so that at vacation time all
books and other movable property has
to be removed from the building"
Mr.. Varney was asked to explain
further in regard to the school house
breaking, and said that the affair hap
pened week before last. The boys are
twelve and fourteen years old. -Four
boxes of paint and two large new
biographies were stolen. Some of
the stolen articles were found under
a mortar box in back yard, and
others were hidden in a bed. The
culprits were discovered by excellent
detective work on the part of one of
the teachers.
Mr.. Parry moved that the matter
be referred to the committee on prop
erty and expense with power to act.
This committee consists of Messrs
Coughlan, KeYsor and Webster.
Mr.. Wilson said he did not favor
arrests being made. He thought
that the entire board should act on
the case.
Capt. Keysor said that he, as a
member of the committee, would not
drag any boy into court. He would
put grating on the windows Of the
school building, like a Jail, and Sc
curely fasten the doors.
Mr.. Fletcher thought that boys
who rob the buildings or break the
windows ought to be punished. Hun
dreGs of dollars worth OF windows
have been broken.
Mr.. Parry's motion was carried,
after being amended so that the COM
mittee shall report at the next meet
ing instead of having power to act.

Mr.. Varney's Report.

Supt. Varney presented report in
which he explained the present pub
lie school system in Mankato. He
said that there were four quarters of
8. 10, s and 10 weeks, and the unit of
grading is the semester or, half year.
There are nine grades of two semes-
tiers each below the high school and
four in the high school. The work of
the primary is rapidly being drifted
into Kindergarten lines. He said
that Mankato is peculiarly fortunate
in having strong corps Of intermedi.
ate teachers this year.
The report continues:
"The high school is in Furnishing
condition. Three more have been en-
rolled this year than during the en-
tire preceding year, and we have 80
more nearly ready for entrance. l ex-
pect the enrolment to reach 100 this
year. The next city in the state
smaller than Mankato, St. Cloud, had
last year 127, Saltwater 200, and Wi.
mona 279 Red Wing 157, and Manka-
to ISL.
High school pupils seem to be en-
thusiastic for the school and loyal to
the teachers. A little more latitude
is allowed pupils in the line of self
government and thus far they have
not abused their privileges. The
gymnasium is very popular, is open
to all, and thus far has given no
trouble.

HOW is THIS?
City's Floating Debt is Now
$4,000.
Unless Rigid Economy Prevails, 1t Will
Climb Much Higher Before the
Year Is Out.

City Recorder Brown presented a
statement to the council Saturday
night Of the financial condition of
the city The fiscal year is now only
half gone, and yet the city has a
floating debt of $4,000. The fixed
expenditures for the remaining six
months, which must be paid in any
event, are over $4,000. This does
not provide for anything being ex-
pended on street work, which has
amounted 10 81 900 month and will
no doubt continue to do so. 1t does
not provide for any of the expendi-
lures that are daily being made for
one purpose or another. Estimating
the receipts at large.fgure, they.will
amount to about $4,000, but the
IS, OOJ allowed for saloon licenses will
not come in until January or Febru-
airy, and half of the $4,000 tax levy
will not be received until the March
settlement, almost at the close of the
fiscal year.
1t will be seen that the time has
arrived to lnaugurate rigid economy,
and Mr.. Brown is justified in his re-
fusal to draw orders on funds that
contain no money.
The following is the balance sheet
for Oct. 1st:
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1898-10-14

Mr.. and Mrs. A. a. Matteson, Mr..
and Mrs. S. J. Mace and Mr.. and Mrs.
John Steel, all of Decoria, have been
taking in the Omaha exposition this
week. The first two couples returned
last night. Mr.. Matteson reports that
the Minnesota building is the best one
on the grounds and Is to be preserved
in one of the parks OF Omaha after
the exposition is over. The Mime
sofa exhibit, on the other hand, is the
poorest on the ground. The grass ex-
hibit consists of luack grass and wild.
barley, of which there is very little in
the state, and which the farmers did
not want to advertise to the world, as
it lis a nuisance on farms. There is
also very small display of any of the
products of the soil of this state.
With the exposition as whole, all
were very much pleased.
The Mankato postoffice has been
notified, that it will be supplied with
a stamp cancelling and postmarking
machine, and the same will be TO-
stalled within few weeks. The
machine will be operated by elec-
tricity, and will be great advantage
over the hand stamp now in use. 1t
has not been the policy of the post
office department to furnish offices of
this class with these machines here
tofore.
The removal of the A B G. stock
to Wells, Mimi, will occur about
Nov. 1st. A failure to secure the
present location longer, causes the
sudden change. We very much regret
leaving Mankato. Bring in the old
and new coupons and get, some
thing in return, as the circumstances
will not permit giving the bicycle.
Bear in mind that while we arrange
to move, the most Of the articles will
be sold at greatly reduced prices;
there will be no marking up of prices
to deceive you.

The Tax Levy.

The following report was received
from the finance committee:
The undersigned finance committee
respectfully recommend that there
be levied taxes for necessary school
purposes for this district for the fol-
lowing year, as follows:
Current fund, for general school
purposes, $4,000.
Special fund, heating Franklin
building, $1,000.
Special fund, painting, etc., high
school building, $780,
Special fund, all other expenses,
including interest on bonds, $4,000.
The bonded Indebtedness of the
district, amounting TO $4,000, will
fall due Sept. 3rd, 1905, and no part
of this sum has been raised, and we
again suggest the levy OF a sinking
fund annually to meet this debt, and
we therefore recommend a levy now
as a sinking fund to meet these bonds,
of the sum of $1,000.
Respectfully submitted,

services as principal of the West

A complaint regarding the treat

was received, but statement of the
facts CONNECTED with the case made
by Supt Varney showed that there
was no cause for the complaint.
