Hon. Charles f. Seese, of Summit,
delivered an interesting address on the
subject, School Legislation" at the
concluding session of the State Asso-
citation of School Board members n
few nights ago. He reviewed school
legislation of the past and pointed out
what should be done along this line
at the next meeting of the general as
5embly He urged school board mem
mers to give the subject close attention
and dwelt upon the Importance of CO.
operating with the legislators in the
deyising and enactment Of school laws.
Boards should be vitality concerned in
the question of school legislation for
the general assembly looks TO them for
guidance and help more than it does to
teachers. He also discussed the nor
NAL school law enacted at the last reg
ular session of the legislature and ex.
plained its features in detail. He ad-
vocated the extension of this class Of
schools, believing them to be very ben
.eficial to those desiring the higher
branches.
MIR. Seese stated his candidacy for
state school commissioner is progress
ing satisfactorily. He feels confident OF
winning the nomination, and said the
retirement of DR.. G. w. Bennett, OF
PiGua, from the race, would help his
candidacy. He received many assur-
auces of support at the school board
meeting.

Margaret is still few months I'M

enough te-be observant and to put
two and two together. For a good
part Of her short life her father has
been away from home, and she has
more familiarity, therefore, with let
tiers and letter writing, probably, than
most little girls. She had never been
permitted to use ink, but had often
watched the elder ones writing with
it and using the blotter.
The other day she was writing as
usual with pencil, or making the
marks on the paper which she calls
writing. when she saw a blotter lying
on the desk out Of her reach. OF
course she wanted it, but she did not
know the name of it. She thought
about it little, and then said, Dad

Give you what?" asked her father.

ter and replied, Give me that inE nap

Pauper Lunatics In Britain.

Steadily for the last ten years the
number Of certified pauper lunatics
in the British isles has been rising.
Similarly suicide is increasing all over
the country. Turn to the physical
form and the tale is the same. Army
recruits show worse teeth to the e1-
amining medical officers every year.
1t has just been found necessary to
lower the standard of height, weight

definite tendency to increased insanity
and to physical degeneration in Great

The big sale of reservation pine
which has been anticipated with
interest for some time by lum-

at Cass Lake. The tracts to be
sold are for the most part on the
Leech Lake reservation and there
are number of the most promi

resented at the sale.
In all there will be almost 23i,
407, 500 feet of white and Norway
pine disposed of. The greater
part of this is in the vicinity Of
Walker and north but there are
several small tracts near CaSS
Lake. At a late hour last night
the hope was still cherished that
the sale would be held up By an
injunction, but the department
of the interior is. on record with
a very conclusive statement to
the effect that this cannot be ac-
complished. Many lumbermen,
however, are not pleased with
the conditions that have been
prescribed in getting out the
timber and it is known that they
have eXerted every effort to have
a stay in the proceedings. It's
even said that although the sale
may occur tomorrow, the gener-
