VIENNA EXPORT ACADEMY.
A Novel and Interesting Institution
at the Austrian Capital.


Carl Bailey Hurst, United States consul
general at Vienna, describes in report to
the State Department a unique and inter-
estng institution in the Austrian capital,
known as the Vienna Export Academy. He
says:
"Since the LIST of October, 1898, there has
existed in Vienna a commercial school of
an entirely original organization. This is
primarily shown from the fact that the
institution is directed by a high official of
the Austrian ministry of commerce. This
direction is not merely nominal, but is
evidenced, apart from daily influence on
the life of the pupils, by weekly confer
ences under the craftsmanship of the d.
rector himself, which have the purpose of
receiving from each of the teachers a re-
port of the studies of the past week and
those to be taken up in the coming one.
is in direct relation to the object of the
institution This object is the pro-
motion of the Austrian export trade.
No serious patron of the academy
wishes that the young men, imme--
diately after finishing their studies.
should become Austrian exporters. On the
oontrary-and this is the second original
phase of the scheme-it is desired that the
graduates, on leaving the academy, act as
clerks in exporting and manufacturing
firms, there to learn the practice of some
special branch of business, whereupon, un-
der further support of the ministry of
commerce, the graduates are to be placed

REAL ESTATE GOSSIP
Progress Made in Securing Land for
Street Extensions.
THE PREVAILING RATE OF INTEREST
Going On in Differ
ent Sections Of the District.
H 0 q S E B U I L D N G

The rate of money continues about the
same it was several weeks ago, when the
subject was referred to in The Star. Real
estate loans can readily be obtained at
four and one-half per cent, and in cases
whare the security is sufficiently ample
and of a substantial character they can be
had al four per cent. During the past
week the record was broken as far as the
rate for real estate loans in this District
is concerned, by the placing on record of a
deed of trust, the rate of interest in the
transaction being three and three-quarters
per cent. 1t should be stated, however
that the amount loaned represented at a
low estimate about one-siXth of the mar
ket value of the property, and that the
latter was first-class business realty.
While four and one-half per cent may
be said to be the ruling rate for real estate
loans, yet a good deal of money is being
put out at five per cent. What are known
as builders loans, which are made to those
engaged in the construction of houses and
who need the money as the work advances,
are sometimes made at still higher rates,
so that six per cent loans are by no means
unknown.

m. Rodio. the director Of the statis-
teal bureau Of Italy, some time ago
called attention to the declining birth
rate of Europe. The vital statisticians
Of England have now confirmed his re-.
port so far as it relates to Great Brit
hin. The decline is most noticeable in
the manufacturing districts. Two causes
are operating which economists have
hitherto not discussed. One is the grow
ing aversion of women themselves to
marriage as soon as they experience the
independence Of earning their own liv-
ing. The other is a growing inability
to bear children, brought about by pur
suits which. 80 years ago, were en-.
gagged in only by men.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
One Selected To Have 'Gener-
alCharge of the Street Fair
for Next Month.

The meeting of citizens at the city
hall last evening to consider street
fair matters was well ,attended-af-
ter the council adjourned. Upon
motion of George LaFond. Mayor
Vasaly was elected chairman, and
c. w. Woodwork was selected as
secretary. Mr.. LaFond recited the
origin OF the movement for a
Street fair this year. He said that
several OF the business men had re-
quested him to prepare a subscrip-
ton list, and circulate it, and he had
done so. While the city had not
been thoroughly canvassed, a little
over $500 had been subscribed. The
subscriptions were made on the re-
presentation that Fred Stangle
would be the treasurer, and that
Barney Burton, John A. Nelson,
Peter Medved, J. B. Richard and
A. Simonet would be auditing COM
m1ttee, and money should be paid
out only on their approval. The
arrangements had now arrived at a
stage where it was necessary that
the subscribers and citizens generally
should select one or more commit
tees to manage the Street fair, and
authorize and decide the expendi-
ture of the money. Mr.. Medved, of the
auditing committee, stated that he
believed committees should beTap-
pointed, and that he was willing to
continue as a member of the auditing
committee. After some discussion
it was decided to elect an executive
committee of three, to have general
charge OF the matter, with authority
to appoint such committees as were
thought necessary. The meeting
chose G. H. Brown, A. Simonet and
Barney Burton as the Executive
committee.
On motion of Peter Medved the meet
ing recommended to the executive
committee that George LaFond be
employed to work in the interests OF
the fair. The meeting then adj
journed.

oupC' SCdl ut1S COlIlplcCcu LIE tSA-
nual report to the state superintend-
ent [ofj public instruction and some
items of interest regarding the
schools of Morrison county contained
therein are given below:
The number of pupils in the coun-
ty entitled to draw state apportion-
ment.:money this year is 4,445, an in
crease over last year Of 226. The
city OF Little Falls makes a good
showing; it's increase over last year
is 122, or in all 1910 pupils. Royal
ton has 1876 this year, or more than
last year.
The increase of pupils entitled to
apportionment in the rural schools
OF the county is 104, there being 8
more districts this year than last

for each pupil was about $3.50; u.s.
ing the same number for the coming
year, this county will receive $15,-
$3.50 the coming school year.
The number of children who did
not attend 40 days or more, in the
entire county is 1000; the county
losing thereby $500. The two in
dependent districts furnished 124
pupils-Little Falls 81 and Royalton
80.
The total enrolment for the rural
schools is 4,011; for schools in the
independent districts 1, 494, total for
the county 5,445 scholars.
During the past school year, from
Aug. l, 1898, to July 81, 1899, inclusive.
"a male and 70 female teachers
taught in the rural schools. In Lit
tie Falls and Royalton, 2 male and
q female teachers taught. The
average wages for male teachers in
the rural schools is $3e per month;
for female teachers 500. In independ-
ent districts, for male $115 and
female $42.
Nine teachers who taught in rural
schools are graduates OF high
schools; l of a normal school; "a
attended a high school; 26 normal
school and Is a college.
There are 63 districts that furnish
textbooks to pupils free OF charge,
and selling to pupils at cost. Both
Little Falls and Royalton furnish
them free.
The number of frame school houses
is GO, brick -, stone 1 and log Is.
The value of these is $26,640.
The aggregate Indebtedness Of
rural districts is $14,675 and includes
a. districts. The school indebted
ness of Little Falls is $4,000; Royal
ton $4,000.
: -Four rural districts, each, will re-
ceive the state aid, $50 for having
employed a teacher holding first
grade certificate. These are Nos. 20,
81, az and 46. The last legislature
increased the state aid from $50 to
$75 for rural schools. Semi-graded
schools, (like Motley and Swanville)
get 500; graded schools (like Royal
tony 5000 and high schools $500. The
law, however, requires in all cases,
that school boards employ only
teachers holding first grade certitl
Gates. Primary teachers must hold
at least second grade certificates.
