FARM AND SCHOOL
Superintendent Olsen Favors stud
of the First in the Second.

Superintendent Olsen Favors Study
of the First in the second.
John W. Olsen, state superintendent of
schools, agrees with his predecessor, J. H.
Lewis, in fayoring the study of agricul-
ture in the rural schools. The plan has
been indorsed by the Minnesota Educa- :
tional association, and Mr.. Olsen takes
strong ground on the subject. He says:
There is great promise in this Tine, and
feel sure that, once it's possibilities are real
lied, it will develop to such an extent in this
state that it will be one of the most popular
and most important branches of our state
educational system. The advantage Of such
a course cannot be overestimated In the
first place, it would prove powerful inf1u-
with their surroundings by developing the
possibilities Of those surroundings It would
give a new Interpretation to everyday
farm work, which so often becomes mere
drudgery, and it would counteract the tenden-
cy which drives the young people from the
country into the city.
1t would give the farm children an incen-
tive and would start many of the young
farmers forth upon their careers with lar
ger measure of success.
This preparatory work in rural schools
would serve as valuable feeder for our
state agricultural schools, and be great help
in this particular This would necessitate
that teachers acquaint themselves with the
scientific basis upon which successful re-
suits "A agriculture depend, and this would
gradually create new field in all our edu-
cational institutions. I think it would also
give the farmers more interest in the school
work their children are doing.

CLARA NORRIS LECTURE
TO BE AN EVENT OF NEXT WEEK
Once Great Emotional Actress Will
Talk on ''The Stage and
the Actor.

Admirers of Miss Clara Morris, the
great emotional actress, who was COM
PEELED by i'll health to retire from the
stage at the very zenith Of her renown,
delight in the versatility the actress has
shown since she left the stage. Her mind
was too active and she was too much
alive to enjoy the dull obscurity of COM
Portable retirement. She soon began to
write stories and "reminiscences and was
before long a frequent contributor to
many of the best magazines. Recently
she has successfully published her
memoirs, which are intensely interesting.
And now, tempted by generous offers from
a lecture manager, she has appeared on
the lecture platform, with sue
cess, of course. She gives, however, only
a few lectures. One of these is to be
delivered z in Minneapolis in the New
Century series at y Plymouth church,
Saturday evening, Jan. 49,
Miss Morris has been wise in her
choice of a subject. She has taken one
that none will dispute her qualification n to
discuss-"The Stage and the Actor The
material will be taken from the mine
of her own rich and successful expert
ence. r 1t is something extraordinary to
have woman who was in her time
queen Of the stage; woman whose
power to enthrall her audiences was so
great that the late Senator Lamar, the
HrSC orator Ol lue OulIeu oLdIeS oeA
ate quarter OF century ago, went
three nights in succession to the theater
to analyze the cause Of her prepotent
spell, and each time fell a captive to the
spell and forgot his purpose, come as a
lecturer on the stage and the actor. 1t is
even more extraordinary that she is a
woman Of thought and tried talent IN
literary expression.
Such a lecture by such person should
have attractions for both the friends
and enemies of the stage, and also for
those who are Indifferent The friends
Of the stage, the theater goers, always
interested in any information or gossip
pertaining to the stage, will greet MISS
Morris as an old friend returned in new
dress. The enemies of the stage will be
interested in her presentation of it and
the Indifferent can not fail to have an
interest in the woman Of talent and
energy for her own sake.

1T IS A NECESSITY
S. Kronberg's View ST Music Hall
for Minneapolis.
FLOUR CITY AsA MUSIC CENTER
1t Needs a Modern Temple of Music
to Hold Its PO-
sit1On.

5. kronberg, representing josef Hof-
mann, the pianist, who will soon appear in
Minneapolis, is enthusiastic over the
proposition to erect Temple of Music"
in Minneapolis. Mr.. Kronberg was here
in advance of the Grau Opera company
last season, and he went on record at that
time in predicting a brilliant musical fu
ture for Minneapolis If some premanent
home for harmony could be erected here.
The necessity of music hall was foroibly
thrust home on Mr.. Kronberg by the fact
that the Grau company did a larger COM
paratiye business during Its season Of
grand opera at the exposition building
than it did at San Francisco or any other
city visited on the tour.
Said Mr.. Kronberg:
l am glad to know that the public-sprited
citizens OF Minneapolis have taken hold of
| the music-lall idea in earnest, and that there
Is now fair prospect that such a building
will be erected in tho near future. With a
| music hall here worthy of the name, I can
promise the music lovers of this city that
an annual season of grand opera will be the
regular thing. If such a structure could be
built in time the brightest stars in grand
opera would be here next season. I am told
that movement for a new music hall is
already we'll on foot in St. Paul, and trust
that this city will not let the other town get
the better of 1t. The people of st. Paul have
had their pride touched, and now it is a
painful necessity with them to get on an
equal footing. at least, with Minneapolis, in
being able to accommodate grand opera.
Heretofore they have had to stand by and
see grand opera produced at the Exposition
building in this city, for want Of anything
like adequate accommodations in the other
city. But the Exposition building is far from
answering the purposes Of grand opera, and
should st. Paul put up suitable hall, I fear
she would steal a march on her big sister.
Minneapolis has earned the reputation,
from her liberal support Of the musical un-
dertakings, of being the musical center of
the northwest, if not the west, and the city
cannot afford to allow St. Paul or any other
city to snatch her laures from her.

A STAR IN ECLIPSE
Richard Burton Won't Play in 1.-THE
Ola Musician
MRS. GRUNDY MUST BE APPEAsED
consequently the Professor Won't
Play and .sThe Old Musician"
May be Abandoned.

DR.. Richard Burton, professor of Eng
lish literature in the "U." will not ap-
pear in the title role of 1.-THE Old Musi-
cia1l,'' which was announced as a part
of the double bill to be presented by
the University Dramatic club at the Ly-
ceum on the evening of February ~.
His decision to abandon the title role
was announced to the club at its last
meeting. Every effort is being made to
secure, someone else to play the part,
but with not very rosy prospects, and un-
less satisfactory arrangements can be
made within the next week, 1T will be
necessary to give up the play. In this
event, the other play, Les Romantiques,
which had been cut down to make room
for the double bill. will fill the entire
evening. I'd.
DR.. Burtons decision to withdraw from
the play is ascribed to the some what
general, though not concerted criticism of
other members of the university faculty.
At first DR.. Burton did not believe such
criticisms were made earnestly, and did
not desire that vague rumors interfere
with the work Of the club. So the re-
hearsals went on and not less than fifteen
of them were held. Dr.. Burton had
learned his part, and was working hard
to secure faithful representation of the
old musician, whom Felix Morris made
famous in this country. Since the holi-
day vacation, DR.. Burton has become con-
vinced that the opposition to his taking
a part in the theatricals might develop
into something more serious, and he de-
cided to withdraw.
His announcement came as a great sur
prise to the club. Besides deprecating the
fact that the hard work DR.. Burton had
put on the part has been wasted, the
members realize that at this late date it
will hardly be possible to secure any,
one else for the title role, and that the
abandonment Of the play may be neces-
sary DR.. Burton expressed his great
disappointment that he will be unable to
go on with the play. To speak plainly,
and to adopt the vernacular of the street,
the dramatic club is Every sore" because
the cynical criticism of certain members
of the faculty has made it necessary for
DR.. Burton to pursue this course.
'"rhe Old Musician" is a delightful one
act play from the French Felix Norris
adapted it, and was the only American
actor who presented it. 1t was with con-
siderable difficulty that DR.. Burton Sc
cured permission to use it, and he paid
the royalty out of his own pocket. The
work of the club had progressed SO far
that the widow of Felix Morris, who has
BEEN visiting in Omaha recently has come
to Minneapolis to assist Clayton D. Gill
bert in its direction.

Frank G. Esterly "a local insurance man,

over the road frequently and noticed we were
running faster than usual, for the road runs
thorugh the mountains there and curves are
numerous. 1t was while rounding a. curve
that the accident occurred.
I was on an inside seat and as we struck
the curve the engine came in sight Then.
as I watched it, distinctly saw it leave the
track and plunge into the. side Of the noun

nerve in my body seemed to be on fire; and,
although the crash must have come only a
second later, it seemed an eternity
On one side of us was the solid mountain; !;
on the other, far below, a running stream.
There didn't seem to besa way Of escape;
and I expected to see every man, woman and
child on the train killed 1t was awful.
Then there came a horrible, grinding noise,
and I was hurled from my seat into the aisle;
but the sleeper did not leave the track. 1t

we were all badly shaken up.
Immediately afterwards the train caught
fire and was entirely destroyed. believe
that the engineer lost control of his engine.
Probably something got out Of order; but
what it was will never be known, for the
engineer was killed and his fireman with him.
Mr.. Esterly's experience is probably
the only one of the kind on record. He
saw the engine attached to the train on
which he was passenger jump the track
and smash into the mountain side. He
knew that he was in a wreck and serious
one even before the crash came For a
few seconds he faced death and death in
most horrible form, and yet he was not
even injured.
Train men who saw, the wreck after
the disaster say that the number of fatal
tiles was surprisingly few, and that, the
escape of the passengers was we'll nigh
miraculous.

FAST BUTTER
Dairy school Will Endeavor to Keep
Minnesota Article Ahead.

Minnesota butter has distanced COM
petitors in all markets of the world. The
dairy school this year will endeavor to
aid it to hold it's place by instructing
those who attend in methods that will
produce butter which will reach consum-
ers in other parts of the world as rich in
flavor as when it leaves the state. Failure
in, this line is encountered by all cream
cry men, but Professor Hacker believes
that the butter makers of Minnesota are
about to overcome this handicap. A fea-
ture. of this eleventh annual dairy school
will be series Of lectures on methods of
securing permanent flavor in butter.
Samuel Haugdahl of New Sweden, who
took the grand prix'' at Paris, will be
the lecturer. The lecturers and their de-
partments will be: Professor Hacker, in
charge of the school, Milk Production; );
B. D. White Of the experiment station,
"Care and Management Of Creameries" !;
H. F. Sandergaard, Mechanical
Processes; Jacob Lennherr and A. W.
Parkins, Cheese; Professor Hans Sch
neider, Dairy Chemistry''; DR.. eH. L.
Russell Of the University Of Wisconsin,
Dairy Bacteriology." A series Of papers
on subjects of first Importance to cream
cry men will be presented.
Over 100 creamery men registered at
the opening yesterday. The classes will
begin Today and continue to Feb. 4. The
school was organized by Professor Hacker

Had She Really Lost the Bill?

He only had 80 cents in his pocket, and
his heart gave great bound when he saw
crisp, green bank note blown into the
street by an eddying gust at Fifth and
Hennepin yesterday. Two women had just
alighted from down bound car, and the
bill appeared to have fiuttered out from
beneath their skirts as they stepped to
the curb and headed for the shopping dis
trict. He needed the money but the still,
small voice of duty insisted on immediate
restitution, and he acted on impulse. He
touched the seal skin-encased arm OF one
of the women as she passed, in order to
detain her, and stepping into the street,
picked up the bill. Making his way back
to the women, who were eyeing him Curl
ously, he lifted his hat and said, as he ex-
tended his hand with the bill:

Thos. Lowry Says Reduction would
BE Illegal.
President Lowry OF the Twin City
Rapid Transit company says that the
people who are endeavoring to make
Scent fares political issue should not
spend so much time on a dead issue. The
provision that the street car fare should
not be reduced below cents was made in
the charter granted by the councils Of the
two cities and ratified by the legislature,
and it cannot be changed. Mr.. Lowry
further says:
No matter if the dividends declared by this
company should be 40 per cent, the fact would
not alter the obligations of either the COM
pany or the municipalities or the legislature.
The company has no right to make and is not
intending to make one. believe its position
to be impregnable and it remains for those
who doubt this to prove their case. When
the electrical ordinance was passed it con-
tanned clause which read: Nothing in this
ordinance shall have the effect of taking
away any privilege granted under any previ-
Gus ordinance.
