Not Teachers Enough.

The state normal schools are not
able to keep up with the demand for
teachers in Minnesota, even with in
creased facilities and larger graduating
classes each year.
The biennial report of the state nor
NAL school board, transmitted to Gov.
Van SAINT by President Alvah East
man, says that the normal schools are
not able to meet more than one-fourth
of the calls made on them.
The higher standard being set for
teachers is responsible for this. The
graded and rural schools are asking for
normal school graduates There were
4so requests received by one of the
schools last year, offering salaries
from $45 to $55 a month. The restora-
ton of the three years. course for
teachers in rural schools has helped to
increase the supply of teachers, but it
has not been sufficient.

incubation story. At first indifference
delayed progress, but ere long expert

in London proved so successful, the fame
of DR.. Jenner became suddenly wide

London and promised $4,000 year,
but he preferred the quiet and seclusion
of the country. This seclusion how
ever, did not continue long after his
discovery was made known; for he be-

main purely for the sake of collecting
natural history facts, but while occu-
pied with these we were able to make
q number of valuable observations on
the natives. and their customs and to
get q general impression of the coun-
try itself.
The first point for which we set out
was Epa, which was reached by way of
Bioto creek. At Epa everything was
new and interesting, and. naturally,
more time was ia en- up with minor
details of observation than at any other
point along our route. This village
we found to be under sort of absolute
monarchial rule. The chief of the
town is known as Maivi, and he is GER
tainly an autocrat among his subjects.
His word is law among the natives Of
his village. as well as among the in
habitants of the surrounding ones. and
he yields his authority by means OF
his widely advertised reputation for
sorcery. In physique the man is a
giant, standing over six feet in height.
and al.-ough his strength, SO far as
{ know, was never put to test among
his people, it is generally believed by his
subjects that he possesses greater
strength than any of his people. He IS
q great sportsman, and has acquired
sufficient wealth to be able to support
six wives, feat which is somewhat re-
markable, when 1t is remembered that
the richest Of his subjects can afford
but two.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Killed ON Train.

Heino Lundeen, Moorhead. who with
four other friends was beating his
way to Minneapolis on Northern Pa
cific freight train, did not waken
quickly when called by two holdup
men, and was shot to death in cold
blood.
His four companions, who had all
been aroused from sound sleep, were
robbed and forced to jump from the
train which was moving at the rate OF
twenty miles an hour.
The murder and holdup was commit
ted about three miles north of Elk
River.
Two men were arrested near Eli
River. At Elk River, whittier they

themselves as c. d. Scrawford and G.
e. Farmer. Lundeen's companions in
the car positively identified them as
the highwaymen and declared that
Scrawford did the shooting at the in
stance of Farmer. When arrested the
prisoners had about 5000 and twenty
watches.
Badly Burned.

trousers which were saturated with
gasoline, Albert Winder, aged fifteen,

in a tragedy in which two men were

He spent the greater part of the af-

had finished he went into the kitchen
to light fire preparatory to the cook

He thoughtlessly scratched the
match on his trousers and was immedl'

who, in addition to the distinction won
by his contribution to medical lore in his
own department of medicine, is honCred
for the excellent biography of DR.. Jen-
ner, in which biography is carefully
traced the various steps that led to the
great discovery.
DR.. Jenner was man of quiet tastes,
and his early choice for country prac-
tice rather than metropolitan life was,
for the world at large, a most fortunate
one Though the most modest OF men,
he was the recipient Of most unusual
honors. Foreign societies and acade-
mics delighted to do him homage; the
dowager empress of Russia presented
him with a diamond ring, and had the
first child vaccinated in Russia named
"vaccinoff." and bestowed life pension
upon it. Napoleon. hater of the Eng
lish. said of this one Englishman:
"What that man asks must not be re-

%& pox raises its head, calling
SXNM for increased vigilance on
~E the part Of those that have
Wo the care Of the public
health. Smallpox, perhaps
as oreAoed as any of the maiadies that
afflict human kind, is pestilence con-
corning which legislation has had to
deal considerably, legislation little un-
derstooa and bitterly opposed by the
masses. Recent Geographic word tells
us that down in Rio JaIelro the people
look upon compulsory vaccination as
decidedly tyrannical and obnoxious,
and that the Brazilian congress has
been forced to adopt strong measures
to quell the disturbance.
Which brings up the whole question
of vaccination, the struggle for its
general use, the discovery which made
world-famous the English country doc
tor, Edward Jenner.
At the close of the eighteenth CEN

worst of human maladies; an authori-

disease, among the victims in Eng

Smallpox prevailed to such an ex-
