There is no question as to the sue
cess of the war loan. That has been
demonstrated beyond question. The
treasury department has received two
offers for the entire loan, or any such
part of it as may not be taken by the
public. But it seems probable nows
so it is stated from Washington, that
more than the entire amount will be
subscribed by the people. The de-
partment is being flooded with offers
for the 800 and 800 bonds. 1t looks
very much as though the new bonds
would be held by the people. This
will be another blow at the Pops
Think of the downtrodden people be-
coming bloated bondholders. 1t is
enough to make the whole regiment
of calamityites get upon their hind
feet" and roar.

pleaded guilty to petit larceny.
County Attorney Hughes. Lorin Cray
and A. r. Pau gave some words Of
good advice to the boys, urging them
to reform before it is too late and
lead honest and upright lives. The
court supplemented this in the same
line and suspended sentence until the
first day of the next term, and released
the boys on their own recogniZance on
condition that they 90 to school. He
intimated that he would be lenient
with them in case they behave them

TEACHERS REELECTED.
Only Minor changes in the Normal
School Faculty.

The state Normal board held it's
annual meeting at St. Paul yesterday
and reelected the presidents of the
four schools. The faculty Of the
Mankato Normal was reelected with
only few minor changes. Miss Cora
Carney, who has been assistant prin-
cipal Of the primary department of
the Mankato school, was elected prin-
cipal of the primary department. of
the Moorhead school for next year.
Miss Mae Carney, graduate Of the
Mankato Normal and sister of Miss
Carney was elected to succeed the
latter.
Miss Ida B. Earhart, who has been
studying in Germany for two years,
will return to the Mankato Normal
next year and have position on the
faculty.
The board decided upon a change
in the course of study, giving more
time to algebra, geometry and
grammar.
President Soaring, to a Pioneer
Press reporter, speaking of the con-
tinuous session plan now in operation
at Mankato and Winona, said that
there was every indication that the
attendance for the next quarter
would largely exceed that of last year.
The continuous session plan was pro-
vided for by the last legislature, with
an appropriation sufficient to keep
the two schools in operation the en-
tire year, for two years. LAST year
the success with which the plan met
was sufficient, in my opinion, to justi-
fy the experiment, said President
Soaring, "and with the added atten-
dance which we have every reason to
expect this summer l am strongly in
hopes that the legislature will provide
for the continuance Of the plan. 1t
has passed beyond the experimental
stage. Other states are preparing to
follow Minnesota's example. I have
had great many inquiries as to our
system from states as far away from
us as Massachusetts.
