Discusses School Matters.

Editor TRIUUNE:-After more seri-
Gus reflection on school matters than
was possible at the late school meet
ing, and seeing the ideas of the vet
eran secretary of the school board in
print, I want to put myself on record
as decidedly in favor of leaving en-
tirely to the school board full dis
erection in regard to the disposition of
the SIS, 900 voted by the school meet
ing for ward school buildings. TWAS
my idea all the time to leave the size
of buildings and the number Of grades
to be provided for in each ward to the
school board, which is supposed to be
informed about the requirements Of the
wards or sections of the village, some
thing ordinary citizens are not famil-
lar with and cannot be expected to be
able to pass intelligent opinions upon.
But the effort at the school meeting to
delay the real business for which the
meeting was called and for which the
people had met by attempting to hand
the business of the school board over
to outside committees necessitated
prompt and radical action, and left n O
time or occasion for the discussion of
detail that would have brought to the
attention Of the meeting the important
points referred to in the statement of
Mrs. Rice in last weeks papers.
For while I am strongly in favor of
proper ward schools for the small
children, also realize the danger Of
carrying this idea too far. And more
over, the high school ground should
be utilized to the fullest extent COM
patible with sanitation and reasonable
distance for children to travel. Mrs.
Rice, we all concede, knows more
about school matters than any other
person in this village and her opinion
on this matter is entitled to serious
consideration before it is rejected for
some other plan.
Then the need of the high school
was apparently passed by at the school
meeting. This was not purposely done
but simply overlooked while the battle
was on on the committee motion. The
people of Willmar are proud Of their

high school, and not without reason.
The high school is the noblest public
institution in our city. 1t belongs to
no party, sect or faction but to all our
citizens rich and poor alike. It's doors
are open to all our youth, and through
its portals pass, practically speaking,
whatever intellectual forces Willmar
has to offer to our state, nation and
the world in general. Our high school
is the modern equivalent of the old
time academy which has made many a
little town famous the world over;
famous by the great minds it developed
during the pregnant period of child
hood and manhood and womanhood.
These high schools are of vastly more
Importance not only to their local
communities but to the education in
general than a state university. I
hope and believe the public of Willmar
understand this much, and mean that
our high school must be supported
literally and furnished with all mod
ern conveniences and requirements.
Personally, believe our high school
should be broadened so as to furnish
not only a university preparatory
course but also, and more so, a gen
eral academic course in modern prac-
tical branches of learning.
Now then, if the resolution passed
at the late school meeting binds the
school in any way in the disposal of
the SIS, 900 let the school board meet
and pass a resolution defining how it
wishes the money disposed off SO as to
give the high school it's proper share,
and the wards It's proper grades, and
then call another school meeting to
give them the necessary authority,
which it no doubt will.

''It is a surprising fact,'' says Prof.
Houton. that in my travels in all
parts of the world, for the last ten
years, I have met more people hav-
ing used Green's August Flower than
other remedy, for dyspepsia, deranged
liver and stomach, and for constipa-
ton. I find for tourists and sales
men, or for persons filing office posi-
tions, where headaches and general
bad feeling from irregular habits ex-
ist, that Green's August Flower is a
grand remedy. It does not injure the
system by frequent use, and is excel
lent for sour stomachs and indiges-
tion." Sample bottles free at Carl

See for q moment, how true this ia Of

No girl in the world dresses more
