MAKE NO CHANGES
IN HIGH SCHOOLS
BoardAccepts Views Expressed
by Commercial Bodies on
School Question.

It was made evident at the meet
ing of the board of school inspectors
yesterday that the high schools will
remain as they are at present. But a
small proportion of the correspondence
on the subject was considered, and
that only casually, but the inspectors
admitted after the meeting that the
great bulk of the advice favors the
Improvement of the grade schools at
once, generally going to the extent of
urging that sittings be provided for
all grade pupils, and for all-day ses-
sions, before plans are made for the
relief of the high school situation.
1t was admitted by the inspectors
who introduced the discussion as to
the possible change of the high schools
that the question had been settled by
the action of the commercial bodies,
from which source support was ex-
peeted for the one central high school
proposition because of the economy
of such an arrangement.
A number of the correspondents urg-
ed the raising Of the standard for adj
mission to the high schools, a course
that would virtually put the studies
of the first year in the high school in
the grades and thereby bring the
high school course proper to three
years. An objection made to this was
that it is doubtful if the universities
and colleges would accept the di-
plomas of high schools with the three
year course.
Oppose co-Education.
Communications were received from
q oI,a,. oil lows
nearly all of whom expressed them
selves as opposed to co-education in
the high schools, but locally this
question was generally ignored, and
where touched upon was generally OPP
posed because of the additional cost
of separate schools.
ct seems to me-" said one of the
inspectors, that the situation will be
the same when we get through as
when we began. 1t will devolve upon
the school board to spend what money
is available where it is most needed.
If it comes to the point where the
high school pupils cannot be properly
cared for it will be necessary to
either make additions to the present
high school buildings or erect new
building. Until that time the plan Of
relieving the deplorable condition of
the grade schools will be continued.
For some years practically all Of the
improvements have been for the
grades, the high schools being held
down to bare necessities"
The board will request that the char
ter commission include in the amend
ments to be submitted to the law of
1901, which permits the board to levy
three mills on the assessed valuation
in addition to the present charter linn
its. The reason for this is that at any
time a question may be raised as to
the legality Of the law as it stands,
and for the further reason that some
of the members feel that the people
should be made aware of the fact that
quite a per cent of the increase in
taxes has gone to the improving of the
schools, buildings and additions con-
tanning f1fty-nine rooms having been
erected in two years. The average cost
was slightly above $500 per room,
which does not include the cost of
maintenance.

FILIPINO GENERAL
MAY BE PARDONED
Claim Is Made That Aquino Did Not
Cause Shooting of Prisoners.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March "a
The secretary of war has submitted to
the president for action the record of
evidence taken in the court-martial
proceedings against Brig. Gen. Servil-
lano Aquino an insurgent Filipino Of
ficer, for giving an order for the shoot
ing of five American prisoners, re-
sulting in the death of three of them.
The secretary reviews the case and
recommends that Aquino, who has now
been confined for three years, receive a
full pardon.
The prisoners were in the custody Of
a Filipino named Guerrero, in Aquino's
command, who was said to have re-
sembled Aquino in appearance. The
surviving prisoners claimed that
Aauino himself gave the order for
their execution, but Aquino insisted
that it must have been Guerrero who
gave the order.

SWAMP LAND CASE
GOES Up ON APPEAL
State Must Defend Its Claim
to Swamp Lands Before
Secretary of interior.

Minnesota is now called upon to
make a still further fight for It's title
to lot 1, section 6, township 585a, range
II, which has been in dispute for some
years, and which the commissioner of
the United States general land office
recently declared to be rightfully the
property of the state.
S. G. Iverson, state auditor, was
served yesterday with notice Of an
appeal on the part of F. A. Hyde &
Co. from the decision of the commits
sioner of the general land Office. The
case will now go before the secretary
of the interior, who is the final author
ity.
The tract in controversy is a three
cornered strip of swamp land near Vir
GINA, On the. iron range, and for want
of better name it has been designated
by the state officers as the Virginia
silver. Although not of great area, it
is valuable by reason of rich mineral
deposits The states claim to title
rests entirely upon the question of
whether the land has been properly
designated as swamp. If it is swamp
1T belongs to the state, under the grant
of March IL, 1850, vesting in the state
full title to all swamp lands. The de-
cision of the commissioner of the gen.
eral land Office in favor of the state
was based upon field notes of the gov
eminent surveyors, in which this tract
is marked as swamp, and other proofs
of present condition which were sub
mitted by the state auditor.
Claimed Under Scrip Filing.
The virginia silver was selected
for the state by the surveyor general
of this district in January, 1902. and
soon afterWard the contest on the part
of F. A. Hyde & Co. was begun. The
contestants first attempted to home
stead the property, but abandoned that
idea to try the plan of fling scrip upon
it.
Last June State Auditor Iverson, ac-
companied by Capt. r. H. L. Jewett,
assistant land clerk in his office, who
is a surveyor; w. S. Dedon, land
cruiser for the state, and c. w Som
erby, assistant attorney general, went
over the Virginia silver" thoroughly.
Finding the land to be Enthusiastically
swamp, Mr.. Iverson decided to make
determined fight on behalf of the
state, and, with the assistance Of At
torney General Douglas. he has done
SO.
Speaking yesterday of the appeal,
Mr.. Iverson said: "The facts have
been thoroughly gone over by the COM
missioner of the general land office,
and we have every confidence that his
decision will be upheld by the secretary
of the interior"
