The regular monthly meeting of the
town council was called to order by
Mayor Cook in the city hall council
chamber Monday evening at $50
o'clock, and the following were
shown TO be present: Mayor Cook,
Aldermen Eldrldge, Brussey, Stod-
dard, Bcbb and Wright, Clerk Har-
vey, Treasurer Wright, Attorney Won

The minutes OF the January meet
ing were read and approved without
correction.
The reports of the treasurer, police
magistrate, marshal and street COM
missioner were examined and ap-
proved by the auditing committee.
The treasurer's report showed the
following balances on hand at the

by the students of the school, and the

These, with the other pieces Of work
that may be seen, demonstrate that a
great deal can be done by working forty
minutes a day for four years.
The most interesting feature of the
Mechanic Arts high school to st. Paul
people is the fact that it is distinctly a
home institution. There is not another
school in the United States that is being
run or the same principle as the Me-
ual training school, as are all other
public schools Of its nature in the coun-
try. Neither does it follow the example
of the manual training schools of other
cities in demonstrating principles. Moth

clples. When 1t is intended to explain
the principle of making a joint, the joint
is made while making something of use
Everything that is cone is practical, and
when finished the pupil has something

The work of the school has been en-
tirely satisfactory for the last four years,
and the outlook for the future is that it
will be more successful. Over 450 chill
dren are attending the school now, and
this alone is enough to prove that the
Mechanic Arts high school is a success
and that the work that it is doing is
meeting with the approval of the people.

SWEARING IN THE LAST CENTURY.

The early part of the nineteenth cen-
bad language. Gentlemen swore at each
other because an oath added emphasis
to their assertions. They swore at In
feriors because their commands would not
otherwise receive prompt obedience The
chaplain cursed the sailors because it
made them listen more attentively to his
sdmonitions. Ladies swore orally and in
their letters. z Lord Braxheld a famous
Scotch judge, offered to a lady at whom
Ahe swore because she played badly at
whist the sufficient apology that he had
mistaken her for his wife.
Erskine swore at the bar. and Lord
Thurlow swore on the bench. George ~.
was always swearing; a profane oath al
ways accompanied this defender of the
faiths expression of approval of TIC
weather abhofSe, a dinner, or drinking
bout. His accomplished brothers envied
his powers in this field of endeavor, and
copied his example Society clothed
itself with cursing as with garment. "
Vauxhall, then still a fashionable resort,
must have been delectable place with its
feast of curse words and flow of oatns.
Other amusements were bull batting,
Geek fighting and prize fighting. Wnper-
force and. Sheridan supported a bill in
1902 to abolish bull batting, which was
opposed by Mr. Windham, on the ground
that it was .sthe first result of a con-
spiracy of the .Jacobins and Methodists
to render the people grave and serious. :"

NO LONGER A DANGER.

A quarter Of a century ago the conges-
ton of population in cities was the dark
est cloud on the horizon of modern life,
The social forces of the time acted as
huge compressor, packing more and ever
more people into a rigidly limited area.
The size of the cities could not substan-
tally increase-the people had TO be
within horse car distance of the places
in which they earned their livings-and
the only recourse seemed to be to pile
story upon story of dark, unsanitary
tenements. Philadelphia had still main,
tanned the old tradition of the family
home but even there it seemed as if the
tenement could not be kept out much
longer.
Rapid transit and the telephone have
changed the whole outlook. The growth
Of cities is no longer alarming, for tbs
cities are growing in extent even faster
than in population, and such overcrowd-
ing as remains is largely mere tradt>
tional survival City and country are
merging, and it will soon be impossible
to tell where one ends and the other be,
gins.
A city used to be little black dot on
the map Now it is a great sploteh. It
used to be small subdivision of coun.
ty Now New York city contains four
entire counties, and is overlooking into
half dozen more, in two states. With
the present facilities for transportation
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-12-01

a man may readily live thirty miles from
his business. A city with radius Of
thirty miles would cover 1927 square
miles, oret than twice the area Of the
state Of Rhode. island. It could contain
10,OO0, 900 peopleaand be no more crowded
than country village. It could contain
100000 and be less crowded than
New York was twenty-five years ago.
The entire present population of the
United States could be accommodated
with the greatest comfort in one such
city, and the entire population of CEN
fury hence could be accommodated in
half a. dozen.
This was without resorting to any of
the means of concentration imagined by
Mr.. Fl. G.. WellS-vast beehiyes, with tier
upon tier of apartments, Inhabited by
swarming multitudes. In city of thirty
miles radius 10o,00000O people could live
with a separate semi-detached house on
comfortable lot for every family.
And thirty-nile radius, of course, Is
not the limit. It is only the beginning.
It is only what a proper organization of
the transportation business would put
within our reach today without a single
new invention. Rapid transit at 100
miles an hour is plainly in sight, and
that means cities of 100 miles radius, or
over 1000 square miles. 1t means the
coalescence of New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington, or, in other
words, the complete obliteration of the
line between city and country and be-
tween one city and another. Most of us
may live to see the time when the terms
urban and rural shall have become obso-
lete, and all life will be suburban.-Sat-

WOULD REFORM POLICE FORCE.

A little girl has undertaken the regen-
Grafton of the Oak Park police force. A
dollar all in small change, has been do
rated from her savings to be given as a
Christmas present to the member of the
force who will do the least swearing
and help the most women and little
girls between now and the holiday. The
dollar was inclosed in a letter received
by Policeman Trenkler The letter reads:
coax Park, Nov 22.-Oficer Trenk-
ler Oak Park Police-Dear Mr.. Police
man: l am a little girl, eight years old,
and I heard my mamma say that the
Oak Park police are not as nice as the
our Oak Park police to be better than
Chicago police, for Oak Park is better,
and | send you 81. / saved it myself,
and you can tell ..-e Oak Park police that
if they will be good until Christmas the
one that is the bestest, he can have my
prize.

there is any danger. l know you, be-
cause I heard you killed a mad dog one

ing postscript telling why:

forth a great deal of praise from those
who witness it.
AS one goes through the various rooms
that are given over to the manual tram
ing, sees the children at work and is
shown the samples of the work that is
done by the students, he is compelled TO
ask: us it possible for children to learn
to do this in four short years Ills
surprise grows to wonder when he IS
told that all this is accomplished in TOUR
years and then by working but forty
minutes each day. How it can be done
in that time is really wonder, but that
1t Is done is an actual fact. The children
spend but one recitation period each day
in the shops and yet they learn to do
wonders in these lines.
The fact that only forty minutes
day are spent in the shops explains why
they are able to take full academlc
course, and in addition learn the MAMMAL
arts that are taught. AS Prof. George
Weitbrecht, principal of the school, puts
it: 'They are simply taking the regular
academic course, but they utilize their
moments of exercise in the shops The
forty minutes each day are scarcely
more than the average boy needs tc de-
vote to exercise and physical training,
and the work in the shops, in addition
to giving him the needed exercise, trains
him to do for himself that which, VIII
be of considerable value to him in his
after life.
Make Real Furniture.
In and about the building are various
little articles of furniture that have been
made by the children in the shops. In
the principals Office is a beautiful oak
office desk that was made year or so
ago. Another one of these desks Is in
the office of Mr.. Healy, secretary of the
school board. A careful investigation OF
these samples Of their workmanship Will
convince one that the training that is
given in the woodwork shops Is quite
thorough and enables the boys to do
fine work. The machine shop has Slso
turned out some nice pieces of work. In
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-12-01

only a branch Of the high school and at
tempted to add a little to the work of
the regular schools. This did not prove
a success and after trying it for several
years it was determined to make it an
Independent high school and establish it
In a building of its own. Accordingly this
was done and the Mechanic Arts high
school became what it is today.
academic Studies Not Neglected.
IN This school no attempt is made to
lay aside the regular academic studies
and Substitute in their stead the manual
arts. Instead of this the literary studies
are taken up just as they are in any
other high school, but in addition to
them a training is given in the manual
arts. Latin, geometry, algebra, trigo-
nometry surveying, literature and the
various other branches of a high school
course are taken up and studied care
fully. The mental faculties are thor
oughly trained, but the education Of the
student does not end here. They are
taught not only to know, but to do The
hand is trained to follow the direction
of the mind and to do many things that
may in after life be of great value to the
student.
AT first children were received into the
schools who had completed the seventh
grade. but now only those who have
completed the course in the grammar
schools and are ready to enter any of
the other high schools of the city are
allowed to take up studies in the Me-
chanics Arts. This changes the school
from an ordinary manual training school
to a technical high school to which des-
ignation it is rightfully entitled.
The boy who is ready to enter high
school and who makes application for
admission to the Mechanics Arts is put
to study of several of the branches that
he would naturally take up were he to
enter any of the other high schools of
the city. They do not attempt to sub
stitute the mechanical training for any
of the literary studies, but simply to sup
plement those studies with training
in mechanics. They simply aim to train
the hand and physical faculties of the
child, as well to develop the mental
qualities In this article it IS the inten-
