uNE EFFECT Of CENSUS
PLICABLE TO CERTAIN
CITIES
ST. PAUL IS NOT AFFECTED
But Cities That Have Largely Over
estimated Their Population May
he in mbarrRssing
Situation.

The completion of the recent federal
census may result in many of the laws
now on the statute books affecting cities
of certain class being declared mop
erative. IN most cases where laws have
been passed to apply to st. Paul, Min
neapolis or Duluth, the verbiage of the
enactment has been, in legislation re-
ferring to st. Paul, "cities of 100000 and
not over 1S5, co., and in the case of Min
neapohs lover 200 &c.," and with Duluth
''cfties of $4,000.
Minneapolis and St. Paul are reason
ably safe, as the returns give Minneap-
oils a population in excess of the pre-
scribed population basis, and as st.
Pauls people will number between 10000
and $4,000, there is nothing to fear eX-
cept in certain cases where the legsla-
ture has placed the limit between 175,OGO
and 100000. In these cases, of course,
the law will be imperative.
No very careful scrutiny of the statutes
has been made, so that it is not known
in just how many cases the legislature
has fixed the population limit. In every
case so called special laws have been
passed and made applicable on a pOpu-
lation basis. In very nearly every in
shown where the results have already
been announced, that the population of
cities is far below the estimated figure.
A good section Of the laws Of 1899 IS
given over to enactments applying to
Duluth exclusively. or to cities of 10000
population. In case the census returns
from Duluth show a population of less
than 10000 the Zenith city will be de-
cIared ineligible to the benefits which
the laws of that class were intended to
bestoW. The last legislature alone pass
ed eleven separate laws giving special
powers to cities of $4,000, which are ap-
plicable almost exclusively to Duluth.
Many laws which have been on the
statute books since 1885 and have been in
force and operative would be void, 1t is
| claimed if the population of Duluth is
shown by the United States census to be
less than $4,000. Local boards. bond is
! sues special assessments levied under a
| special law would be Illegal, and the
| acts of boards and local municipal or
! ganizations be void If the census returns
| are not on the right side of $4,000.
! St Paul is safe upon the ~ mill add
| tional tax levy for schools as the law
| gives cities of $4,000 and over the option
| of levying the special tax.
! LAWYERS are somewhat puzzled over
| the law, and those who have taken the

| ed that the last federal census would De
accepted in determining the population
/ basis, and where towns do not come up

| There are many of the smaller towns

overestimated, and the limit fixed by the
legislature altogether too high.

REVEAL PUPILS READING
STATE SUPERINTENDENT LEWIS
DISCOVERS MUCH DIVERSITY.

DISCOVERS MUCH DIVERSITY.
Some time ago State Superintendent
Lewis decided that it would be an ad-
vantage to rural schools if in the pur-
chase of books for their libraries they
were guided by an authorized list of
books most suitable for their purpose.
In order to make up a list of this kind
Supt Lewis sent a circular to all the
high and graded schools in Minnesota
asking for a list of the books in the
school library that had been drawn out
over fifteen times during the school
year. Over 1C0 letters were received in
answer to this circular The result has
been somewhat peculiar. The lists pre-
scented anything but unanimity. The
variety of titles is amazing, and the gen
eral result not at all satisfactory.
The Herty books head the list, being
most popular in ffty-three schools; then
come the works of Louisa NJ AIcott and
John 7 Trowbridge, which have been
drawn in ever 45 schools; Little Lord
Fauntleroy in 40, Uncle Toms Cabin in
IS, Robinson Crusoe in %, Black Beauty
In So, Little Men in 50, Birds Christmas
Ca: oil in 35, Hoosier School Boy in 81.
These drawn in over twenty schools are
Boys CT '76, Story of Patsy, Timothy's
Quest, Swiss Family Robinson, Five Lit
tie Peppers, Tim and Tip, Little Jarvis,
The Jungle Book, Mr.. Stubb's Brother.
The lists prove that tastes have chang
ed in the last generation. Such favorites
as John Halifax, Scottish Chiefs, Last
: Days of Pompeii, Scarlet Letter and that
class appear less than five times in the
list. Scott and Dickens are almost alb
sent. 1t would shock the grandmothers
to know that the story of a Bad Boy is
drawn twice as often as The Pilgrims
Progress. The list also proves that the
students in the schools do not consult
Book News on the ''best selling books"
for the popular current novels make lit
tie showing. Red Rock, Hugh Wynne,
The Choir Invisible, David Harum, Pris-
oners of Hope, To Have and to Hold, and
Janice Meredith appear on one list each,
and only enc.
This is supposed to be patriotic year,
and yet these lists show that the life Of
/ Washington and the life of Lincoln have
been read but in a single school. Emer-
sons essays, Longfellow's poems, Sesame
and Lilies, Vicar of Wakefield and Rab
and His Friends also appear but once
each. The compilation is indeed an in
teresting study.
Supt. Lewis will not be governed alto
gether by the result of this collection of
facts, but will make up a list of 200 books
which seem best to meet the requirements
of rural school library.
This list will, of course, not be binding
upon schools, but simply suggestive and
advisory.

TELLS OF Big BOAT RACE
YALE-HARVARD EVENT DESCRIB-
ED BY AN EXPERT

George Langford, who formerly rowed
with the Minnesota Boat club and later
with Yale, and has a national reputation
as an oarsman, returned Monday morn
ing from Yale, where he was one of the
Judges IN the boat races that took place
between Yale and Harvard on June 2S
Mr Langford was seen by a Glob e
reporter last night and discussed the
eiSht-oared shell race between Yale and
Harvard, in which Harvard's stroke gave
out. He said:
L think it was one Of the closest races
that has ever been rowed between Yale
and Harvard until Harding. the stroke
of the Harvard crew, broke down I
think the cause of his breaking down
was overeXertion. When they reached
the two-and-a-half-mile flag Yale had
lead over Harvard of about forty feet,
and Harding started to squirt The re-
suit was that when they had reached the
three mile flag he was weakening, and
by the time they had reached the three
and-a-halt-mile flag he had totally col
lapsed
'The crows We're very well matched.
Harvard's crew was considered the best
they had ever had, while Yale had
very fast crew, and 1 think that if the
accident had not happened it would have
been & neck-to-neck finish. 1 also think
that if they had had the same condi-
lions of wind and tide that the Yale
crew, which now holds the record, had,
the winning crew would have broken the
record.
THE stroke that Yale used in the race
was the same as Bob Cook used to teach
with the exception that it has less Wig
orous catch and a more easy recovery
with the slides.
Asked as to whether there would be
any change in the stroke this year, Mr..
Langford said:
ST don't know that there will be any
change made IN the stroke used by
Yale this year. The styles of rowing by
the different crews are beginning to come
down to the same basis and to resemble
each other"
Mr. Langford stated that John Ken
needy, the old trainer of the Minnesota
Boat club, is at Yale, and is very much
thought of by all Yale rowing men. He
has been of great help to the Yale
coaches and crews.
Mr. Langford has charge of the Kenna
Steel Working company's mill, at Kan
sas City, Mo-, and will leave for that
city this morning to resume his duties.
