RURAL DELIVERY ROUTES.
Bristown's Policy Falls Heavily Upon
Two Minnesota Districts.
From Thursdays Daily.

Washington, July 22.-Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster General Bristow's policy
in relation to future rural free delivery
routes will fall heavily on certain Sec
lions of Minnesota. Under the old re-
gime, Representative McCleary and Rep
resentative Tawney had been promised
several complete counties in their dis
tricts. Mr.. -McCleary's position on the
appropriation committee and Mr.. Taw-
ney's strong position in the house made
it easy for them to secure these. prom
Uses. In carrying out his policy of econ
omy, Mr.. Bristow will cut heavily into
these districts. Mr.. Tawney will get
two counties less than he expected and SO
will McCleary. Mr.. Bristow says that
the counties which will be cut would re-
quire large number of carriers in pro-
portion to the number of families serv-
ed, and that it will be impossible to in
stall the free delivery at the present
time. The two congressman have not
been advised as to the situation, Mr.
Tawney was in Washington today, but
did not take the matter up with the de-
partment. He will probably return
later for this purpose.

0WAT0NNA STATE SCHOOL.
Aim and Purpose Of the Institution
Established Few Years AGO.
From Thursdays Daily.


The attention which has been called
to the State Public School at Owatonna
has been the occasion of some inquiries
as to what the state school is and what it
has already done. The school is of com
paratively recent origin, havinog been
established in 1885 as place, primarily,
which shall furnish a temporary home,
with school advantages, for the depend
ent or neglected children of Minnesota
The records of the school show that the
average time of stay in the institution
for each child has been about ten months
After this period of home. and school
training the children are placed in fami-
lies through the recognized state agency
for that purpose.
This agency is expected to establish a
regular system of visits to the homes,
| to keep an eye on the material care the
children receive and to remove them,
ii necessary, from any family where the
evidences show that the surroundings
are either physically or morally unfortu-
nate. There is every reason to believe,
that, on the whole. this duty of the
agency has been as thoroughly performed
as is possible. Probably there are eX-
ceptions to the general rule, but such ex-
| ceptions are not of nature to show any
intentional neglect on the part of the au-
thorities. The children come from all
over the state; rs out of our 80 counties
having contributed to the enrolment of
| the school up to Jan. l, 1903
There had been received 2,474 children
ir all, and all had found homes in fami-
lies except the PSI in the school at the
beginning of the year. Nearly half of
| the total enrolment in the eighteen
years are still under the supervision of
the school agency, but of the nearly 1000
boys and girls who have grown to be
young men and women since they were
first taken under the wing of the school,
the records of visitation show 81 per cent
who have become good citizens; 81 per
cent of-in round numbers-l,2 200 chill
dren, is zoos.
This gives an average of Sc children per
annum saved to the state and to society
| by the total investment of $226,9l0.
Even granting that the particular case
over which the complaint has arisen
had any foundation, it is pretty sure
Ithat. the state school intends to leave
straight tracks behind it, and is doing
good work 1t would be better if the
school could retain the children longer
and if they could be assured at least an
elementary education equal to our de-
mands for high school before they leave
| the school, but we are not informed that
this is so as yet.-Minneapolis Times.
