Aid for the Schools

State superintendent j. w. Olson
has notified the county superintend-
ents and school officers that applica-
tons for state aid, under the new
law, must be received at the depart
ment of public instruction. before
July 10. ..-.~. =. -, IT,. i. u
The recent legislature increased
the state aid for high schools from
$1,000 to $500; for graded schools,
from $500 to $3.50; for semi graded
schools, from 5000 to $3.50, and for
rural schools, from 100 to 1875. u
Last year III high schools, 11e
graded schools, IA emi-graded
schools and 747 rural schools quail
fed under the law. Owing to a de-
ficiency in the appropriation, how.
ever, only the graded schools received
the specified aid. It is expected that.
many new applications will be made
for the increased aid this year.
A high school to receive aid must
have been in existence at least one
year preceding the application, must
admit students of either sex without
charge of tuition and must have reg
ular courses in all subjects prescrib
ed by the state high scnool board.
Graded schools must have at least
four departments in charge of a prin-
cipal and teachers, and must be-
equipped with suitable school build,
ings, substantial library and all ap-
paratus necessary for doing efficient
work.
The department of public instruc-.
ton requires of semi-graded schools.
that the school building and each
room be clean, well swept, properly
heated and ventilated; that each
room be supplied with sufficient
blackboard space and a Webster's in
ternational dictionary.
The department makes practically
the same requirements of a rural
school with reference to the care of
the building as of semi-graded
school. The law stipulates that it.
must hold at least eight months
school during the year.

Grasshoppers Poison.


F. l.. Washburn, state entomologist.
at the agricultural experiment station
at St. Anthony Park, has issued a.
pamphlet describing a new remedy
for grasshoppers, and makes COM
ments upon certain old methods. He
calls the new remedy the Criddle
mixture and he says that the differ
ence between this poisoned bait and
others consists in the substitution of
refuse for the bran so commonly
used. This mixture is made of one
part Paris green, two parts salt and
forty parts refuse. Enough water
should be added to make it soft with
out being sloppy. 1t should be scat
tered about the fields well, in quanti-
ty according to the number of grass

THE EXTRA SESSION
A CONFERENCE CONSIDERS THE
WORK TO BE DONE.
The Questions of Financial Legisla-
ton, Cuban Reciprocity and the
Recognition of Panama Were Dis
cuSSed.

Washington, November IA con-
ference to review the work to be done
at the extra session of congress and
to discuss matters of legislation dur
ing the regular session was held at
the White House today between Pres
ident Roosevelt and Senators Allison.
of Iowa: Adrich, of Rhode Island;
Cullom, of Illinois; Platt of Connecti-
cut; Hale of Maine, and Spooner. of
Wisconsin.
In view of the prompt action OF
the administration in recognition of
the republic of Panama, it was stated
that nc legislation on that subject
would be absolutely necessary; al
though it might be desirable to give
the president authorization to con-
duct canal negotiations with the new
republic. An Endorsement by con-
gress of the presidents action in rec
ognizing the republic of Panama may
take the form Of providing diplomatic
agents for the new republic.
The question of financial legisla-
ton was discussed, but no conclusion
looking to a change of the general
understanding that no general finan-
cial legislation will be undertaken at
the call session was reached.
The Cuban reciprocity Legislation
was discussed for some time and the
possible differences between the sem
ate and house considered. All agreed
that it would not be wise to have a
contest with the house over the form
of legislation and that an understand
ing should be reached. 1t is believed
no question will be raised by sena-
tors as to the form of the bill and
that the legislation will be passed as
speedily as possible. The senate will
be inclined to accept any measure the
house may pass that will put the
treaty into effect and will endorse the
eighth article, regarding non-interfer-
ence with the sugar duty during the
life of the treaty.
