of course, been a tremendous stimulus
to establishing high schools and to
this extent 1t has worked we'll. Com

get the special aid, and a general and
active interest in higher education was
awakened. The high school inspector
has done much to bring the schools up

without destroying the individuality of
the different schools. However, in
my opinion, the law could be improv-
ed in this respect. First no village or
city having an assessed valuation of
less than say 100000, should be elig-
ible to receive special aid. 1t has been
the experience in Minnesota that many
small villages have been too ambitious
in order to be placed on the high school
list, and have undertaken too much to
maintain a high school even with state
aid. Second, the special aid should
not be fiat, fixed sum, equal to all
small or large. II should be
graded and divided into several fixed
sums. and the amount given each
school should be determined by the
size of the school The number OF
teachers in high schools might be
taken as basis. 1t is manifestly I'M
lust that a school with an enrolment
of thirty or forty and employing but
one assistant should receive the same
aid as a school enrolling 100 to 300 and
proportionate number OF
assistants or teachers. think it would
be more Just If we here in Minnesota
had special aid in the sums of $1,000,
$3.50 and $500 and granted to the
schools according to the number of
teachers employed in high school.

Waterloo, Dec. 3l.-One of the WA
terloo clergymen calls attention TO the
fact that there must be something
radically wrong with either the city or
The Christian people, because of the
very small growth in membership,
church attendance and spirituality dur
ing the past five years.
He calls attention to the fact that
while the school facilities have in
creased more than half during the past
five years and the population has in
creased almost one-half, the seating
capacity OF the churches in the city
have increased about one-eighth. What
is worst of all in the opinion of this
Clergyman is that the churches at
present. with only one or two excep-
tiosls, are more than adequate to seat
the people who will attend them.
A. comparison over Longer period

shows still more startling results. The
Increase in population during that

crease in school facilities l25 per cent,

Some of us have robbed Christianity of

STATE AID FOR HIGH SCHOOL
Question Comes Up for Discussion at
the State Association.

Des Moines, Dec. 3l.-Some time
during the meeting of the State Teach :
ers' association. the matter of giving
state aid to high schools will come up
and is likely to precipitate lively dis
cussion.
Some of the college men are opposed
to 1t on the ground that it might inter-
fere with their institutions and tend to
the upbuilding of the State university.
The others are equally insistent thai;
this is all nonsense.
No one is more enthusiastic In his
support for state aid for high schools
than is Richard c. Bar EFT, state SUI
perintendent of public instruction.
Mr.. Barrett inserted recommends
ton of state aid for high schools in his
biennial report, claiming for such a
plan. similar to the one now in vogue
in Minnesota, that 1t would bring the
high school within the reach of every
boy and girl in the country. many Of
whom are now dehafred from partici-
patIng in its benefits, because of the
tuition required. The Minnesota plan
would do away with the tuition system,
and would make up the money when
the state would lose in this manner,
by stated sum given the schools. pro-
viding the standard of the schools
came up to what was required.
In view of the fact that the Mime
sofa plan is the one which is recon-
mended, an effort has been made TO
secure some expression from the prom
inent school men of Minnesota rela-
tive to the success of the system and
with it they have appended an explain
alton of the system. What they have
to say on the subject. follows:

1t is thought that the Hubinger Bros.
