Training the Detectives

ONE of the most important and diff
~ cult problems in education under
taken in this country has been the train
ing of detectives to economic efficiency.
The work in America was begun by DR..
Samuel G. Howe, director of the Perkins
Institute for the Blind at Boston.
From the first experimental school in
1912 until the present time there have
been established twenty-nine large insti-
tutions and many training schools scat
tered through twenty-one states. These
care for some ten thousand feeble minded
folk and furnish object lessons also to
teachers, and training for the special
schools for backward children, now
rapidly becoming part OF school systems
n all large cities.
There are forty schools for the blind,
employing five hundred and five teachers
and training 4,441 pupils. For the deaf
there are hundred and thirty-six schools,
training 1852 pupils. Each year such
training in industrial and manual work is
given as will enable the graduates to earn
their own living.

Serious Predicament.

Last week while Cyrille Fortier and
VIM Besson were cruising up in the
Sn0wbank country. through purely
an accident they dropped into the
place where James O'Neil, otherwise
known as casper j i'm, holding down
lands for G. w. Warren Of Minneap-
oils. Jim was found helpless, and had
been in such a condition for some
time. Fortier and Besson carried him
to Ely, where he is in IA precariouS
condition, suffering with rheumatism.
Had these men not happened along
when they did. Mr.. O'Neil would
probably have persisted, as lie was alb
solutely helpless. The country is not
very much visited. Besson and For
tier carried him out in packsack, a
no mean task considering the topog-
raphy of the district.

was held Sunday from the M. E.
church. Ely Lodge No. 220, l. o. o. F.
turned out in a body and escorted the
remains of their brother and friend to
the Odd Fellows plat in the Ely
cemetery. The services at the church
were impressive, Rev. Blake making
an eulogistic address which was well
received. Several visitors from other
towns were here and attended the
funeral. Among others we noticed,
Capt. Frank Thomas of Biwabik,
Thos. Quayle of Aurora and Thos.
Wakefield of Mckinley. The floral
tributes were beautiful.

To Tell Horses Character.

1t is easy to tell horses character
by his nose, according to an army
officer. If the profile has a gentle
curve and at the same time the ears
are pointed and sensitive, the animal
may be depended on as being gentle
and at the same time high-spirited. On
the other hand, If the horse has
dent in the middle of his nose it Is
safe to set him down as treacherous
and vicious A horse with slight
concavity in the profile will be easily
scared and needs coaxing, while one
that droops his ears Is apt to be
both lazy and vicious.
