directed attention to the fact that pupils
who, at the end Of their first five months
schooling, exhibited remarkable aptitude
In penmanship were found to have i'm
proved but little at the termination of
their third grade in school. He thought
that better progress in this work should
have been made. Particularly, he dwelt
upon the subject of neatness In the care
or writing and drawing books. This he
considered of primary Importance, rather
more so than handwriting
The subject Of music elected an animal
ed discussion. There was a division of
opinion. 1t was contended that all teach
ers should fit themselves for the work of
teaching music, and to this was opposed
the objection that 1t was physically i'm
possible for some teachers to do So Miss
Elsie M. Shave, supervisor Of music, ex-
pressed desire to do all in her power to
assist the principals and teachers in this
line Of their work

ings was debated, but no vote taken, and
the question is left open. Supt Smith said
that on the subject of the length of the
present school term he could say nothing.

MINNESOTA SCHOOL IDEAS.
They Are Sought For by People of
Other States.

State Superintendent Lewis yesterday
issued four first-class professional GER
tif1cates. Three of them We're college
graduates and the fourth by examination
OF the college graduates, w. p. Dyer, of
Slayton, Mimi, was granted a certificate
for five years, and Miss Kate McDermid
Of Luverne and Alfred w. Yuhl, of Hal
lock- certificates for two years. Sister
Eugenia, of Waverly, was granted GER
tihcate for five years on a successful ex-
animation,
Supt. Lewis has replied in full to a re-
quest from 4. c. Bassett, of Des Moines
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton Of Iowa, for information concerning
the workings of the Minnesota state law
regarding high schools. In Iowa there is
a bill pending in the state senate framed
on lines similar to the Minnesota high
school law. Supt. Bassett Is. evidently,
favorably impressed with the Minnesota
law and solicited an opinion of it's mer-
its, or dement's, from Supt. Lewis.
In his reply the latter says: First,
high schools are aided by the state with
out weakening local interest and local
support.
Second, the standard of high schools is
controlled by the state and is uniform,
doing away with chaotic conditions
where one school grants diplomas and
certificates for one year, another for two
years and others for three years. Con-
tinuing, he says:
This state says to a locality: That II
you will organize and support a high
school, preceded by eight we'll organized
grades, properly equipped and success
fully superintendent, a high school for q
four years academic course. Further
more, If you will meet the conclusions
required by the state high school board
in the matter of apparatus. library, suit
able equipments and the professional and
scholastic qualifications OF teachers and
instructors, ard admit nonresident
pupils in the high school department free
of tuition, the state will give you at the
close of the second year $780,
On the whole the letter of Supt. Lewis
is a high Endorsement of the Minnesota
law.

SMALLPOX DISTRIBUTORS.

dow the Germs Are Nurtured and the
Disease Ia Spread.
1t would seem that people will never
learn to be careful The recent alarm
ing spread of that dire epidemic,
smallp ox, throughout different sec
tions of the country has been traced
by physicians and sanitarians in many
instances directly to the moldy and
rotting layers of paper and paste
which cover the walls of many houses.
The practice of laying layer after
layer of paper on a wall, using COM
mon flour paste, is especially calcu-
lated to create homes for disease
germs. People could not do more to
effect such result if they tried. Tho
rotting vegetable matter affords caves
from which are ready to dart forth
the infection at every opportunity.
There is no excuse for this practice,
as walls and ceilings can be coated
with a pure, clearly and sanitary ma
terial like Alabastine, for instance, at
no greater expense. Alabastine is n
rock base cement, which incorporates
itself with the wall or ceiling. II is
easily applied, comes ready to mix
with cold water, requires no washing
or scraping before renewing or re-
tinting, is beautiful, long-lasting and
safe.
For walls that have been infected,
nothing is equal to Alabastine as n
disinfectant to render them pure and
clean and the rooms once more hab-
liable.

teenth avenues about o'clock Mon
day morning. Thirteen bodies have
been recovered from the ruins within
three hours after the flames had been

thrce-story frame structure, former.
ly used as a church, but transformed
into u tenement house with small
rooms, scarcely eight by ten feet in
dimensions, opening into narrow
hallway on both the second md third
floors, making a veritable fire trap.
This is right in the heart of the
Italian district and the greatest ex.
citement prevailed.
Three or four minutes after {
o'clock Monday morning the fire was
discovered, but long before the fire
apparatus reached the scene the in.
terror of the burning tenement was
peopled with wild Italians, running
hither and thither, unable to find
means of escape.
Every room emptied its occupants
into these narrow little halls, and
there was no escape for the Brighten.
ed tenants because of the jam, an6
they could not get out. There wert
mt least IL families i'm the place, Sc
persons in all, of whom perhaps 80
were children, unable to care for
themselves.
Four men jumped from front
window. Several were hurt.
One after another the women ant
then the men were taken down, while
other firemen devoted their atten.
ton to drowning out the flames. This
they succeeded in doing in less than
an hour, but during that hour a
frightful sacrifice had been offered
Nearly every room in the house con-
tanned its victim. Few were really
burned to death. Most of them were
smothered. The bodies were carried
out by the fircmen.
Vito Credavo is locked up on sus
picion of having set fire to the build
ing. Credavo, with his wife and two
children, occupied the rear portion
of one of the upper stories. lie was
arrested on a statement made by
Virginia Di Prula, who was boarder
in the house. Di Prula told Capt. Ed
wards that when he was awakened by
the smoke he found Credavo and his
family fully dressed and ready to
leave the burning building. When
Credavo was taken to the station
house he became much excited, but
denied that he had set fire to the
building or had any knowledge as to
the origin of the fire.

TO RESTORE PEACE.
II Is Believed Our Government IL
Using Its Good Offices Between
BOcr and English

Washington, March 13.-There is
reason 10 believe that the United
States government is urging its good
Offices TO restore peace in the Great
Britain and South African republics.
This has not taken the shape of me-
diation. That would be distinctly re-
pugnant to Great Britain, and, ac-
cording TO the rule of international
law, which has, without exception,
governed the state department in the
past, could not be volunteered by us
until it was known to be acceptable
to both parties in the war.
But the United States might very
properly serve as an intermediary to
transmit an appeal for peace and the
terms upon which peace can be Sc
cured The United States has success
fully served in this capacity in the
past, notably in the termination OF
he China-Japan war, and it is be-
lieved its good Offices in this line are
now being extended.
