CONSOLIDATE THE SCHOOLS.

Modern graded schools conducted upon
the same plan as those to be found IN
the villages and the cities will be the
happy outcome if the country schools
are consolidated or centralized as has
been suggested by the state superinten-
dent of public instruction. In the east
the old system has become thing of
the past. In other states the rural
schools have been supplanted by the
graded school and in addition thereto
by well-equipped high school. With
these advantages at their command the
boy and girl on the farm are given an
equal opportunity with their neighbors
in the villages and cities to secure d
first class education.
In these days of progression the con
solidated school system is bound to be-
come inaueurated in the western states.
1t is 4 step in advance and should give
place to one that does not meet with the
requirements of the times. In the end
the consolidation of country schools will
not be any more expensive to the tax
PAYERS than the present system, and the
results obtainable will be greater and
more beneficial to the patrons. In the
east the experience has been that much
better attendance is secured and at least
two wears added to the schooling OF the
country boy and gifl at less expense than
was incurred under the old plan. 1t
would seem that this certainly should be
an incentive for parents to favor the
bnsolidation of the rural districts. 1t
is claimed, too that four teachers will dc
the work of ten. and the scholars will
receive more thorough drill. Another
incentive for the pupils to make great
headway in their studies is the promo
ton from one grade to another, This
acts rs a stimulation to the pupils.
Minnesota, always in the van with pro
gress. is not slow to take up systems
which will advance her along educational
lines. In several counties OF the state
the consolidation of country schools
has been begun and it is working we'll.
Other counties will fall into the process
sion and it will not be many years when
the little school house by the road. like
a ragged beggar summing will be thing
of memory.

Now that the Mankato Civic Improve
ment Leagne is organized it is hoped that
its good work will be made manifest all
over the city. There is room for a great
deal of work along the lines suggested
by the speakers at Wednesday nights
meeting In order that this work may
be done properly it is absolutely neces-
sary that citizens generally take hold,
give the league the encouragement it
deserves and don't forget to do the right
thing by your own premises. There are
many eyesores in AIankato that should
be blotted out The league can bring
about the blotting process if the proper
methods are pursued. If every citizen
will do his duty Mankato can be beauti-

BALL1AN Is A HERO.

The Free Press gives its fullest en-
dorsement to the following from The

treated a hero by certain people of
Minnesota but Just what he did to earn

good citizen does not do daily. is not

said to be a poor man. His lie Sueur

heroism of Ballman. but they would

WAS 1T BUSINESSLikE?

In view of the fact that Injunction
proceedings were instituted in Winona
to restrain the council of that city from
buildin" an electric plant, and the con
stitutionalfty of the -iaw relating to the
issuance of bonds was raised. would it not
have been the part of wisdom for the
council of Mankato to have waited until
the litigation in the Winona case was
brought to an end before any move was
made here toward the construction of 4
municipal plant? If the litigation in
Winona ended in the city's favor the
council in this city would have been
justified in proceeding. Under the cir
cumstances, however. there is no excuse
for its action.
Most people look upon the councils ac-
ton as "grandstand" play; an effort
to make brilliant" record but it turns
out that the city fathers have made
a big mistake The council has con-
tracted to pay an expert $500 to draw

pert would probably have been employed
to give the council pointers as to what
course to pursue when the bids were up
for consideration: there is other expense
attached to this whole business that will
reach we'll up toward $1,000 or $500,
not to mention the expense that will
necessarily be created because of the
litigation the city is forced to face.
How do the taxpayers like this sort of
thing?
