and disinterested speculation as to the
merits of our civilization. This saw
age has not suspected it, but he is
from his peculiar viewpoint sizing up
and deliberately condemning the COM
mercialism Of our age. He looks at all
the forces and powers and devices, DIT
all the effort and struggle put forth
in order to accumulate and possess and
enjoy the material things Of this life
and turns away with sincere pity for
us as lot Of poor fools. OF course, he
catches no glimpse Of the service which
learning and art and culture and re-
ligion render to the happiness Of civil,
lized man. He doesn't know any
thing about that, but he can grasp the
fact that a large element Of the civil.
lized world live for time and sense
only and he concludes that what they
get out Of life isn't worth what it
costs.
The conclusion Of the Iggorote is
not only interesting; it is suggestive
of the propriety Of taking not his, OF

application to books than in an after
noon 8 dilletante work at q club.
Possibly 50, but the trouble is, they
would not do it. They need a motive,
an occasion, necessity to hold them
to study. Moreover, people get more
from each other than from books. The
written song is nothing compared to the
song made to live by the human voice.
So the written idea is nothing COM
pared to the idea that comes to US
clothed with personality. The knowl-
edge gained from study is not SO i'm
portant as the power gained from the
use Of the faculties. And the faculties
are best exercised by the personal con-
tact Of mind with mind.
Study clubs are a sort Of self-help
university extension course. And self
help is the best kind Of help. When
people come together voluntarily, bent
on learning thing, they are morally
certain to learn it.
The objection is often made that wo-
men have no time for club-work. But
as matter Of fact, club-work is time
saver. 1t gathers up and pieces into a
whole, those scraps of time that would
otherwise go into the rag bag Of idle
ness. Those stray moments, waiting for
meals, or resting from physical work,
are caught up and wrought into a
knowledge Of Shakspere plays OF
the history Of the French Revolution
or current events, or some other perma.
nent acquisition. The secret about be-
ing able to do club-work is that ii
crowds out wasted moments and unim.
portant interests. If we do the best
things first, the unworthy and trivial
fall away Of themselves. Therein lies
| the true economy Of time.
The important question is. how much
cIub-work should a woman dos The
only rule, in this as in other things, il
moderation. It is never safe to assume
that because little is good, more i.
better. Club-work is valuable but there
are other interests Of home, and church
and school take precedence Of club-worl

Wonen's Clubs.

The National Federation Of Women IS
Clubs is soon to convene In the city.
The prospect has stimulated interest in
local club work, and revived the never
settled, ever-recurring question Of the
use and abuse Of women's clubs.
Not so many years ago, a club for
women was thing unknown. Today g.
very large number of the women Of the
country are organized into sort Of
national university, with classes scat
tered all over the land, and a curricu-
lum as varied as that Of any university
in existence.
The first fever of the club fad has
abated, but it has settled into steady
glow that indicates that the women 8
club has come to stay. It is, SO SUBJ
versive Of the old order Of things, that
the conservative world cannot allow it
to pass without challenging it's right to
be. Is this new interest, which absorbs
so much of, the time and strength and
ability Of women blessing or curse
to society9 Does it help or hurt the In
dividual womanq The answer to the
one question is the answer to the other.
If club work benefits the individual
woman, it benefits society at large. For
what helps one, helps all. ~
The wife and mother, immersed in
the cares Of the home, needs and must
have some powerful incentive from
without, in order to keep up with the
times. Otherwise she allows the little
details of her daily routine to fill her
whole life, and crowd out larger things.
She becomes in time what William Dean
Howells calls "hen-minded,' and falls
far behind her husband and children
who mingle with the outside world.
In the old days, the church was
woman IS only safeguard against this
tendency toward retrogression Today,
while the church still is and still should
be foremost among the interests Of
women, yet it's spirit Is multiplied in
many other forms Of doing and receiv.
ing good. Light broken into it's com
ponent colors by prism, is still light
So, charity, the light Of the church
broken into its prismatic colors in the
educational and reform movements OF
the day, is still charity. And charity in
all its forms belongs to women.
Critics sometimes own that philan
thropic clubs are justifable, but regard
study clubs as different matter. But
are they SO totally differentP "Thou
that teachest another, teachest thou not
| thyselfqo If women are to be useful tt
others, they must themselves be edu
Gated. And education is not completed
with diploma. It must be q constant
development.
Again it is urged that study clubs are
not really educative, that women could
sit at home and learn more in an hour 4

Good Manners on the Phone.

It may become somebody's duty yet
to construct code Of telephone etl-
quet. IF anything of that kind is
done the rules should go farther than
merely to prescribe how central should
be addressed, what kind Of language
may properly be used over the telephone
and how much patience should be exer-
cised in it's employment. These matters
have been discussed good deal, but
there is one matter relating to tele-
phone manners which ought not to be
left out Of the code. It relates to the
practice of instructing the stenographer
or the switchboard to get Mr.. So-and-so
on the phone. This is done for the con.
venience of Mr.. What -his-name, and
often without any. decent regard for the
value Of Mr.. So-and-so g time. MI. So
and-so g telephone rings at his desk and
gentle voice inquires: els this Mr.
So-and-so9' After receiving an af-
firmative answer the gentle voice con
tinues: "Mr. What 's-his-name wishes to
speak with you. Please hold the line.'
Mr.. What 's-his-name is busy with
things on his desk or somebody has
come in, or something has happened to
take him out Of the room, or he has
not expected that Mr.. So-and-so would
answer so promptly. Meanwhile Mr.
So-and-so, whose time is just as valu'
able as Mr.. What 's-his-name g is hold
ing the telephone and with each half
minute suffering a keener sense of the
disrespect which is shown by What s.
|his-name in assuming that Mr. So-and-so
will hold the telephone indefinitely and
await his convenience.
4 OF course, good manners and gentle
manly breeding will settle all; these
things for the right kind Of people, and
the man who has the proper apprecia
ton Of the courtesy due to another
whose time is equally. valuable will .bt
very careful not to &oofffand in this par
ticular. But ttheferoaressome people
who are not able to appreciate the
situation, to whom a. new book, Of rules
on telephone etiquet ought to be sem
with marked paragraph relating tt
this particular matter. = -. - -

Minnesota's Great School Fund.

The public schools Of Minnesota have
magnificent endowment. The perma-
nent school fund Of the state, amount
ing to over SIG, 100000 already, is grow
ing at the rate of $1,000,000 year, &C
cording to the statement of the state
auditor, and conservative estimates
place the final sum at $3O,000,0o0. In
these days Of prosperity the lands
granted by congress in trust for the
school children of Minnesota are bring
ing handsome returns.
The assets of this fund, being con-
verified into money, consist of land, tim
Der and minerals. Two sections in every
township were reserved by government
grant as school sections, and in add1-
ton all lands classified as swamp :"
are turned over as fast as they are
surveyed, to the state, to be divided
equally between the school fund and
the fund for maintaining state institu-
tions. The proceeds from these lands
are practically the sole foundation for
the great school fund. Tracts fit for
farming purposes are sold to settlers on
longtime contracts at minimum price
Of SIS an acre. Where there IS mer-
charitable timber, the stumpage is sold
at auction, the land being reserved
Where iron ore is found, mineral leases
are taken, which are converted into
ffty-year contracts if they become pro-
ductive, and on these the school fund
receives royalty of Is cents on every
ton of ore mined. The fund grew slow
ly in the days before pine stumpage be-
came valuable, and when it was being
wantonly dissipated by unchecked tres
passing. Now, however, the returns are
heavy from all three sources, land, tim
Der and ore. .-Er... ~
Not a cent Of this great revenue IL
being expended. It is accommodating II
principal, and only the interest is be-
ing used for the current expenses Of the
public schools. It is distributed tc
school districts twice year on pei
capita basis, together with proceeds
from the one-mill direct tax levy, and
this distribution amounts to more thar
81 year for every child in attendance
forty days or more Of the school year
The constitution requires that "the
principal Of all funds arising from
sales or other disposition of lands OF
| other property, granted or entrusted tt
this state in each township for educa
tional purposes shall forever be pre-
served inviolate and undiminished. " The
growth Of this principal is faster now
than the growth Of the population, and
the interest revenue is playing con
stantly larger part in financing the
schools Of the state.
Such an endowment Is a magnificent
heritage, untainted by the greed an(

thropist, but the peoples own endow
ment, set apart by the nation from Min

The Study of Charity.

The state conference of charities and
corrections, which will be held next
month in st. Peter, will be an OCCASION
full Of interest for all who pay atten-
tion to humanitarian matters. The per-
ennial problem Of the poor, the vicious
and the wanderer, which has vexed soci-
ETY. in all the ages, is being reduced as
nearly to science as it is possible for
q problem with the human equation al
ways present. Charity, which sufereth
long, and is kind, which seeketh not
her own, nevertheless has aspects other
than the sentimental. Charity dis
pensed by the state, by the municipal
ity, or thru organized societies, is a
business proposition. Economy Of ex-
pense and effort, with the greatest pos
sible efficiency and kindness to the UNI
fortunate, are essential features. Men
Of broad human sympathies, studying
the needs of the unfortunate, have
worked out policies and plans for chart
table work, which in operation have
been Of vast service. Mercy to the
helpless is combined with schemes for
helping others to help themselves.
The study of these questions should
enlist the interest of all public officials,
and it is unfortunate that they have
been so scantily represented at past
conferences. A special appeal is now
being made by Andrew J. Eckstein, of
New Ulm, who Is always a prominent
figure in the conferences. Mr.. Eek,
stein has written a letter to all county
commissioners Of the state, asking them
to see that each county is represented
by at least one member of the board
Mr.. sEckstein is county commissioner
himself, and knows that the ideas
gained at these conferences are OF
practical value in administering county
poor funds. caring for jail prisoners
etc. His letter calls attention to a pro
vision that many have overlooked
which permits county boards to draw
on state funds to pay expenses Of one
member visiting the state conference
, each year. This forestalls any excuse
put on financial grounds, and one Of
the five members of each county board
can surely be found who can take the
time to attend. The state conference
Of charities and corrections is an event
which it is a privilege to take part in
and the coming gathering should be thu
largest and most interesting in th
state IS history.

Reductions in Freight Rates.

The Commercial West remarks that
Tho Journal ought in the interest
Of truth to publish the fact that grain
rates and general merchandise rates
have been reduced in this territory dur
ing the period when Professor Ripley
notes general advance in rates of 5
per cent. The Journal has always
published the facts regarding any sig
nifcant change in rates in this section.
It believes in telling the truth which
ever way it cuts. The article to which
the Commercial West :alludes was a
comment upon Professor Ripley's argu-
ment that rates generally have risen in
the. past six years. The point was that
during the merger period rates as a
whole had risen rather than fallen. -.
So far as the reductions of rates in
the northwest is concerned the public
freely comedies that some things have
been done, but it does not believe that
concessions have been made as a gift
from the railroads. It is a matter of
recent history that the reductions made
in grain rates on the Great Northern
sprang from the action Of the Canadian
Pacific system in making certain reduc-
lions. It is an open secret that Presi-
dent Hill merely anticipated by a few
hours the action that would have been
made necessary by the action of the
northern competitor. The northern
lines have not been altogether removed
from the competition Of the Canadian
Pacific system.
It is a happy thing for the northwest
that this is true and it merely illus,
trates Professor Ripley's point that the
increases have been in noncompetitive
freight, but that in spite Of decreases
the general level Of freights is higher
by 5 per cent than it was six years ago
It is reasonable to presume that mer.
! gers and consultations tend in meas
