WELL TO The FRONT
ST. PAUL SCHOOLS ARE ECONOgI-
ICALLY ADMINS
TERED
STATISTICS OF LARGE CITIES
Only Two Have Lower Per Capita
Cost of maintenance, and Only
Two Higher Average of
Attendance

Reports received by the secretary Of
the st. Paul school board show that this
city is still maintaining its record OF
economical school management, despite
the fact that occasionally charges of eX-
trayagance are urged against it.
From the latest report received it APP
pears that among the larger cities Of the
country St. Paul ranks third in point Of
average cost Of maintenance per pupil on
it's total enrolment. Indianapolis and
Cleveland are the only two cities reporting
a lower average cost Of maintenance than
st. Paul.
The reports received by the board Of
education show the following statistics Of
average cost per pupil in the cities:
Indianapolis. $34.10; Cleveland, $39 "a; st.
Paul, $42 %; Omaha, SAG. SO; New Orleans,
$50.73; Detroit, $5112; Milwaukee, 1891;
Kansas City, $58.46; Denver, $5848; Chi
cago, $780, st. Louis, $622S; Louisville,
SGD IA; New York, $77.61; Providence, 1868;
Boston, $3.50; San Francisco, $97.
1t will be observed that three Of these
cities pay more than twice as much per
pupil as st. Paul does.
The average number of pupils for every
teacher in these cities is as follows:
Providence and Kansas City, 40; Mil
waukee, Al; st. Paul, AZ; Detroit and Chi
cagO, A; Cleveland and New Orleans, As;
Indianapolis and Boston, 46; Louisville, A;
Omaha and San Francisco, 48; St Louis,
40; Denver 81. The average number Of
residents for every pupil in these cities is
as follows:
Denver, 5; Omaha SO; Kansas City, So;
st. Paul, 6.2; Boston, 6.2; Cleveland, CD;
Indianapolis, So; Chicago, Ga; st. Louis,
Z; Detroit, IL; San Francisco, IL; Provi-
dence, rs; Milwaukee, 76; Louisville, 7G;
New Orleans, 81
Comparisons of St. Paul statistics with
the figures of other cities Of the country
prove that the schools of this city are
managed economically, that the teachers
are paid good wages, and that the chill
dren of the city are attending school in
larger proportion according to population
than in most Of the other large cities Of
the country.

FORPARKWAYS
MR.. MURPHY THINKS 1T SHOULD
COME FROM GENERAL FUND.

Commissioner Murphy, of the board Of
public works, announces that at the next
session of the legislature he will try to
secure the passage of a bill compelling
the payment of expenses incurred in the
eral fund.
He holds that parks and parkways are
an- improvement beneficial to all, and
therefore should be assessed against the
entire city. AS an Illustration he points
out the assessment for Como parkway
Here the parties who will have to pay
the cost are nearly all people in humble
circumstances, who will get no direct
benefit whatever from the Improvement.

For many years one of the hard prob
lens railway ticket agents have had to
contend with has been the difficulty in
disposing of upper births. 1t is a Well
known fact that at least ninety passen-
gers out of every hundred ask for Glow
ers. A Globe reporter was pres
ent at the Milwaukee ticket office the
other day when several passengers asked
for uper berths on the Pioneer Limited.
Upon inquiring the reason of the ticket
agent he learned that the upper berths
as well as the lowers, in the sleepers on
the Pioneer Limited are extra wide, roomy
and comfortable, perfectly ventilated and
lighted. With the Milwaukee agents the
difficulty in disposing of uppers is re-
dGced to a minimum.

II this IS true, it need but be a short
time until Colorado may ship all her
irrigated products to other markets
and subsist upon Colorado ozone. of
which there is an inexhaustibIe s1n-
ply. One meal once in Is days would
be such a slight interruption in ones

noted at all, and would produce no
more apparent effect than the usual
frugal lunch counter collation. in ST.

ATMOSPHERIC CONUNDRUM.
Persons Elucidated by
Weather Expert.

Which is heavier, dry air or moist
ali This is question which occa-
sionally agitates the minds of per-
sons who get to thinking about the
weather, and when such folks have
considered it for a time and discussed
it with their neighbors, they write
to the newspapers for infOrma tion,
states the New York Tribune.
Before consulting any authority,
a man is apt to reason in this fash
ion: The air absorbs the vapOr very
much as water dissolves sugar, and
consequently there must be a gain in
weight for the same volume. If he
should write to Prof. Willis L. Moore,
chief of the United States weather
bureau in Washington, though, he
would find that his own independent
logic was fallacious. Prof. Moore
says: "a cubic foot of dry air
weighs more than cubic foot of
moist air at the same temperature
and pressure. The addition of vapOr
to a cubic foot of dry air en1arges
the volume of the mixture if the air
is free to expand, as in the atmOs-
phere; and as the vapOr has only
about two-thirds the density of dry
air at the same temperature and
pressure, the density of the mixture
is less than that of dry air"

constitutional or oppressive acts by the
republican party The Star is not
partisan paper and it is not required
either to defend or condemn all or any
of the acts of the republican party. In
the discussion of The stars editorial they
have nothing to do with the case.
There is a Constitution of the United
States, Mr. Grady to Lne contrary not
withstanding, and the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments while they remain
in the organic law are as much entitled
to respect as any other portion OF 1t.
Those amendments are being violated IN
spirit and, as a result, twice in the past
eighteen years the unconstitutionally re-
stricted suffrage of the South, joined TO
the unrestricted suffrage of several
northern states, has ruled this country,
and both times to the country's disad-
vantage. For the south's sake, therefore,
as for the sake of her sister sections, let
US have a constitutional representation
in Congress from all parts of the republic.

She was speaking before the women

After asserting that civilization had
gone wrong by enforcing too much
repression of the individual the head
of Hull House continued:
TT seems to me that people have
been confused In their discussion of
the saloon question. The sale of H.
quor should be limited, not abolished,
for the only social relaxation that
some workers obtain is in the saloon
parlor It is to them what dinner par
ties are to different class. Some one
might just as well say to those din
ers: I think that you drink too much
at your dinners. so they must stop

IRRIGATION BILL COMES UP

The house committee on irrigation
meets Saturday. when it is believed
the irrigation bill which passed the
senate will be submitted to the house
with favorable report. Western mem
bers have been consulting today and
will use every effort to get the bill
through with the clause containing
state control. 1t is denied by friends
of President Roosevelt that he said
he would veto the bill with that
clause, but says he has been asked to
do so. Western members are not op-
posed to the presidents course but
believe he will do right by them.
They will stick by state control. The
senate bill will probably be substitute
ed for the one previously reported to
the house.
