Z. Released From saltwater
Penitentiary.

Two pardons were issued by the state
board of DardOns at a special session held
yesterday. Nels Olson, sentenced to five
years from Marshall county on the
charge of assault was given a full par
don. The county attorney who .prosecut-
ed him declared that there. was grave
doubt as to his guilt, and the presiding
judge expressed doubt by giving him a
light sentence for so serious an offense.
James >Breen, sentenced to two years
from Hennepin county for larceny, was
PardOned on condition that his relatives
care for him. as he is practically insane
1t has been generally conceded that
iBTeen's sentence was a mistake, as he
was clarly not right in his mind. He
stole clock in Minneapolis, and returned
1T to the owner the next day, having
10 recollection Of having taken it. Physi-
clans without number declared that he
was not mentally responsible for his acts.
The board postponed his case at the
regular session until it could be ascer-
tanned whether or not he had friends who
would take care of him.

or about one book for every pupil in the

estimated that at the close of this year
there would be over 400,0 900 volumes in the
public libraries, and this statement is
verified by the statistics of the depart
ment of education for the year 1901.
The statistics for the years 1899, 1900
and 1901, according to official report are

How Libraries Are Divided.
CT the 1923 libraries in the state in
1901. 1855 were in common school dis
tricts, and pa in independent districts.
Of the 34,913 volumes bought that year,
22,914 went into common school districts.
The total number of volumes in common
school districts was 203 203, and in indie
pendent district 1885, 05.
The rural schools continue to more than
hold their own with the high and graded
schools in maintaining their libraries In
1899 the common school districts purchas-
ed 1907 volumes; in 1906 2,242 volumes,
and in 1901, 2,914
Under the increased state aid for libra
ries there has been unusual activity on
the part of rural school districts in secur-
ing new libraries, and it is believed that
the rural schools of the state will pur-
chase close to 40, 900 volumes during 1902.
Under the law as it now is, schools de-
string to participate in the state aid to
rural and semi-rural schools must have,
among other things, a good library The
state assists the district doubly, by pay
ing half the cost of the libraries.

LECTURES ON MODERN

Supt. Olsen Decides to Institute Il
Course on Santa

State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton j. w. Olsen had decided to take an
advanced step in the agitation for better
school houses by instituting in the sum
lner training schools Of the state a series
Of illustrated lectures by expert archi-
tects on modern school buildings. Every
state ir the West has been troubled with
the problem of substituting sanitary
school houses for the heaIth-wreckins
regulation school building Of the past
decade, and in Minnesota this problem
has received attention from several state
superintendent. Former Supt Lewis is
sued a special bulletin on the subject,
which resulted in a considerable improve
ment throughout the state, and the state
department has for the past three years
assisted districts in building proper
schools by supplying them with elaborate
plans by a competent architect, according
to their needs. But still there is vast
room for Improvement, and the fact that
it is matter of public health makes it of
more than ordinary concern to the au-
thorities.

Some = States Have Acted.

Many CT the states have passed laws
looking toward a radical remedying of
existing conditions, and the National Ed
ucation association, which meets in Min
neapOlis in July, will receive a report
from a special committee on school archi-
lecture, which, it is believed, will pro-
pose some line of action that will ma
terially assist the project.
State Superintendent Olsen thinks that
it might be a good thing to pass a law
requiring district officers who contem-
plate building a new school house to con-
suit with the county superintendent WHO,
in turn, should consult with the state
superintendent. An appropria ton should
be made which would enable the state
superintendent to secure the services OF
a competent architect in preparing suit
able plans for a sanitary school building.
Charles H. Parsons, who has done more
than any one man to revolutionize school,
building in Iowa, and who started the
agitation in the National Educational as
sOciation, says:
should Meet Requirements.
Each state should pass laws requiring
that every school house measure up to 4
certain sanitary standard. No permanent,
satisfactory solution of the modern
school building problem can ever be at
tanned, even in the most enlightened Of
cur communities, that does not cOmpre-
bend the remodeling of state laws so as
TO both enable and require school boards
to produce certain definite and specific
results in school building under their con-
troll. Boards that desire to build sani-
tary buildings cannot do SO for the lack
of funds. Many boards that could build
proper school houses do not do so for the
reason that they cannot be made to real
ize the necessity for it. The first may be
remedied by means of enabling legisla-
ton, that is, making our laws more lib
eral, so that more means can be at the
disposal of these boards. Second we
want laws that will protect the health
of the child III school, while we are edu-
eating him for the duties and RESPONSE
bilities of American citizenship. We want
these laws TO be so liberal that the very
least possible damage will be done to the
health of any child while he Is in school.
We want these laws framed, and with
such penalties that they will command
the respect and obedience Of the school
boards and officers. Without this, fail
ures must continue to be made, the peO-
pies money will be wasted, the health of
shall keep sowing seeds of disease in the
rising generation, until shortly we shall
be reaping a bounteous harvest Of early
Deaths"
Supt Olsen hopes to secure a more
general public agitation Of the important
question by his proposed course Of lee
lures at the training school Of the state
this summer.

 Mr. Cater spang from his berth and as he did SO, man opened the stateroom door and made for the upper dsck. Cater caught him a terrific blow on th. neek which sent both tumblhg on the deek.
 An alarm was sounded, but before the night watehman arrived on the scene, the unknown had broken away from Mr. Cater and up the companion way. escaping to the wharf and thence lodging up the railroad track.
 Investigation showed that the robber had gattered a large bundle of bedding and several coats and tied them up ready to carry off. He was evidently looking for valuables when the chief engineer was awakened.
