Transfer of Land Titles.

A simplification Of our system of
transferring land titles would seem to
be very desirable. At present the cost
of abstracts Of title, the delay in com
pleting sales after being negotiated.
the possible defects in titles not an
pearing of record, the accumulation of
books and indexes in the registers of
fee, all operate as a constant burden
to owners of real estate, and reduce
its ease of sale and exchange. The
states of Illinois. Massachusetts. Cal
ifornia, Minnesota, Washington. and
Colorado and many European countries
have adopted The Torrens system of
lands registration, which seems to af-
ford a simple, speedy and safe
method Of transfers. The essential
feature Of this system is an official
guaranty of title. 1t is the registra.
ton Of the title as distinct from the
registration Of deeds The owner of
real estate may apply to the register
of deeds for its registration. and if his
title is found perfect, upon the pay
ment Of fee. it is registered and
guaranteed Thereafter its transfer
is made solely upon the title so regis
tered, thus obyiating all Of the delays
and complications which attend our
preseut system

Education.

The statistical reports received by
the state superintendent Of public In.
struction indicate that the rural com
mon school is not accomplishing the
work for which it was established. All
the other public schools Of the state
are comparatively well organized ana
working satisfactorily and progress
siveIy. F.r.g- three per cent. Of the
children Of the state practically receive
their education in the rural schools.
Failure at this point nas greater sig
nifcance for the state than at anv
other point The educational problem
that you must most earnestly consider
and meet squarely at this time Is a
plan for Improvement in the condi
ton OF the country district, and the
one-departmeut schools Of the state.

ruption has been the cause of their de-
ficiencies, in others. lack of system
and cumbersome and complicated
charters have been the chief source OF
difficulty.
There should be some simple ana
adequate remedy afforded TO a city to
relieve itself OF its dishonest and ua-
faithful public servants.
1t mag be hat it will be impractical
during the time you are i'll session TO
make sufficient investigation OF thes
matters to enact proper legislation
with reference TO them. If this be so.
1 would recommend That a commission
be created whose duty it shall be to
carefully investigate these questions
and report its conclusions with prop

The Civil Service.

To transact the public business of
the state and of the several counties

vices of many men in many different
/ capacities. The people elect the
state officers, the county officers, ana

But these officers have to call to their

officials shall be selected and with
what tenure they shall hold their re-

a plausible objection which is al

For the working population of Paris summer

many foreigners know the term know it, that is
not in the dictionary sense of marsh or frog
pond but in the significance il has for Paris

visitors have never noticed them. They
emerge from oblivion with the advent of hot
weather. when most people are leaving the cap
