GRUNOW RECEPTION
City VIII Greet the German,
Consul Tonight

The imperial representative of Ger
many, Hams E. Grunow, and his wife
will be officially welcomed to st. Paul
tonight at large reception to be given
at the Commercial club. Invitations to
the number of 1,500 have been sent out
to prominent citizens of the Twin Cities
and a large attendance is expected.
The receiving party will include
state, city and army officials and a rep
resentative of the club. An extensive
programme has been arranged, in which
Gov. Van SAINT, Mayor r. A. Smith and
others will take part
The reception will be held in the par
lors of the club at $50 o'clock. Light
refreshments will be served.
Gen. G. C. c. Carr, Col. C. A Williams
and Col. Cornelius Gardner, of the mil
itary department of Dakota, will assist
in welcoming the diplomat and his
wife. The officers of the Twenty first
infantry have signified their intention
to be present in a body, and as the
regiment moves to San Francisco Mon
day, it is not likely that the numerous
friends of the officers will have another
opportunity to meet them socially be-
fore the regiment returns from the
Philippines.
Mr. Grunow, like each member of the
foreign Office of Germany, speaks Eng
lish practically without accent. He will
respond to the speeches of welcome.

State Superintendent of Public
INSTRUCTION Makes Report
of Conditions

= = 49, = q 3
According to a report just issued by
]. w. Olsen, state superintendent of
public instruction, there has been no.
table increase in the number of school
districts in the state furnishing free
text books to their pupils in the last
year.
During 1904 the report shows that
there were 5,303 districts in which text
books were loaned to pupils, against
1883 during the year 1908. BY loaning
school books is meant the free text book
system.
On the other hand there has been a
decrease in the number of districts SELL
ing text books to pupils at actual cost.
During the fiscal year just closed there
were 918 districts in which the chill
dren are permitted to buy the necessary
school books at actual cost, against a
| total of 978 districts where this plan
| was in vogue the year before. The
average cost of books to pupils in the
special and independent districts loan
ing books to pupils was 81 cents, and
in the common school districts of the
state the cost was 48 cents. The aver
| age cost per pupil in Independent dis
tricts selling books to pupils was $l.12,
I and in common school districts the cost
! was Ga cents. There was comparatively
little change in the figures on the cost
of books from the former year.
The total number Of volumes bought
| for school libraries during the fiscal
year WaSs969s400, as compared with

WIN|)NA TEACHERS
VISIT CITY SCHOOLS
Delegation Headed by Supt.
Frazer lnspects ST. Pau
System

ST. Paul public schools were yester-
day visited by about seventy Winona
school teachers, practically every one
of the local schools being called upon
by at least enc of the visitors,
Arriving in st. Paul the members of
the party divided into sections, each
one of which was assigned to cover a
certain territory, the object being to
gather as much information as possi-
bic concerning the methods of instruc-
tion and the course of study from ac-
tual observation.
Principals of the local schools gave
the visitors every opportunity to be-
come familiar with the manner of in
struetion, the system of keeping track
of the pupils by notifying the parents
and other points of interest. The COM
mittees thoroughly Inspected the work
from the kindergartenS to the senior
high school classes, and were pleased
with the course, with the showing
made by the pupils and with the treat
ment. received.
I'VE are taking a couple of days off
to inspect the st. Paul and Minneapolis
schools" said c. r. Frazier, superin-
tendent of the Winona schools. ut
was not our purpose to search for
to be instructed in all that is best in
the ST. Paul system. We found thor
oughlya organized schools with good
teachers and an excellent management.
The discipline was apparently of the
best, and the course of study modern
and suited to the pupils. Beyond this
it would be difficult for any one of our
party TO speak of the schools, or at
tempt to suggest Improvements.
"F'rom what I have heard Of the
opinions formed by the teachers it is
felt that the visit will be of benefit to
the Winona schools, many features of
the courses having attracted particu-
larly favorable notice. This applies to
manual training. kindergarten and in
termediate work.
The schools of Minneapolis will be
visited today, and after the return to
Winona a meeting Of the teachers will
be held and the results of the visit
discussed.

PLAYS HUMAN VIOLIN
Father Dunno Details Cd Ger.
, saa man Legend

The lecture delivered by Rev. Arthur B.
c. Dunno, OF Eau Claire, Wis, at st. Pc
ter Claver's church last night for the
benefit of the church, proved to be a rare
treat. ego
Thee lecture eentered around the old
German legend of the human violin, an
Instrument fashioned with the idea that
perfect music is the cure for all ills,
whether spiritual or physical Father
Dunno explained the various emotions felt
by those who heard the music, before the
breath of discord and evil had been cast
upon the instrument and then drew the
mental picture of the evil which resulted
after the fatal spell had been cast.
The chords of the instrument were lik
ened to the phrases which confront the
human being from childhood to the grave.
The evils prevalent in life were thorough
ly discussed, and in a manner which left
no doubt regarding the speakers sin
cerity or feafiesSnesS. The lust for gold,
the sowing of wild oats by the young,
the lack of any definite purpose in life
by those endowed with great spiritual and
mental power, the evils of attending to
other peoples! business and negleeting
those at home, the divorce courts and
the wrongful purposes effected by those
in positions to bring the world into q
better light, were given scathing aTraign-
ments and portrayed in all their hldeous-
ness before the audience.
Throughout the entire lecture and in
terspersed at points best calculated to
hold the attention of the audience were
various little incidents of travel and story
which had come before the speakers gaze
during a tour of the world. Pathetic in
cidents brought tears, and rare pieces of
comedy convulsed the audience with
laughter. fine stage presence, with a
voice starting in all tenderness and grad
ually rising to stentorian tones, served as
the vehicle to convey the speakers words
to his bearers.
The auditorium was crowded, and al
though the lecture consumed oyer two
hours in Elength, not a person left until
the last. sword was spoken. No mention
was made on. any political subjects, and
religious differences did not enter into
the discussion. Taking the lecture as a
whole, itgwas enjoyable.

a like committee OF the Commercial
club. with the object of consolidating
the two bodies, met the Commercial
club representatives yesterday after
noon and came to an agreement which

with full power to act, and the decision
reached yesterday is regarded as final,
although it will come up for formal
ratification before each organization.
On the face of the matter the Com
mercial club will apparently gain the
two hundred-odd members of the 9TH
er body, but in fact the club will only
add fifty or sixty names to its rolls.
OF the members of the Chamber Of
Commerce nearly $50 are also mem
bers of the Commercial club.
The Chamber of Commerce commit
tee will consist Of the directorate of
the Chamber of Commerce for the

CARNATIONS is said to be for economy
and expediency.

and Secretary Stine.
The Chamber of Commerce COM
mittee was: D. r. Noyes, r. A. Kirk,
