tied up. This failure, which caused
quite sensation in financial circles,
has led to an agitation in favor of depos-
itipg state funds in state banks, with
the possibility that legislation to that
end will be enacted. In reference to
this matter the St. Paul Globe says that
as long ago as 1900, Gen. E. M. Pope,
then public examiner, urged on the state
officers the deposit of the funds of the
staty in state banks. In his annual re-
port Gen. Pope said: "The loyalty and
preference shown by the government to
national financial institutions is worthy
of imitation by the state in dealing with
it's financial institutions"
The report went on to show that OF
the nineteen state institutions then BE-
ing conducted in the state but one had
selected state bank as it's tr easuly
The others were all dealing with national
or private banks. 1t was pointed out

School Reform From the Country.

The Minneapolis Tribune says: The
proceedings Of the state educational
association indicate that the strongest
support of practical educational reform
is gong to come from the country. This
is to be expected. Cities, with their no.
tions Of luxury, their leisure class of wo-
mon with more zeal than Judgment in
public matters, and their class of col.
lege-bred youth, are the natural home of
ornamental school fads and of discrimi-
Dation IN favor of higher education. 1t
is the duty of the country to call the
cities back to sense and reason in pub
lie education.
Tie Minnesota country does not seem
disposed to shirk it's duty. The helpful
resolution limiting state aid to high
schools that supply the defects OF grade
schools by teaching reading, writing and
arithmetic, came from Winona. County
superintendent and high school princi-
pals from over the state united their voic-
es at the St. Paul meeting in favor of do
ing away with fads and teaching thor
onghly those things without which men
cannot perform the plain duties of self
maintenance and citizenship before
spending time and money on higher ed
ucation. AS one teacher put it, the
state should care for the 80 per cent. for
whom the public schools are finish ing
school, before providing for the 10 per
cent. who are able to go from them to
college.
The whole spirit of the reform SO ma
ny are earnestly demanding is in this re-
mark. The pride of the American pub.
lie schools is in being schools for tie
people. The crying need of the hour is
that they should be kept schools for
the people; that they should let the 10
per cent. wait till they have cared fully
fol, the 80 per cent. This is the lesson
the county superintendents and princi-
pals of Minnesota are bringing home 10
the cities.
