one Of the finest and most effective
systems of caring for its homeless

ing of the school twenty-one years
ago, and about 80 per cent of those
now grown up have become useful
citizens.
y This has cost money, but the
State of Minnesota has not lost
ANYTHING by this expenditure. Any
homeless, neglected or abused child
can be committed to the school by
the judge of probate on petition
of two county commissioners, and
when delivered to the institution it
becomes a ward of the state, and
is raised and educated under state
supervision and state expense.
I'VE have about 200 children in
the school at present. SOme OF them
are tiny babies and some are large
boys and girls, but the majority OF
them are from two to seven years
old.
These are placed in family homes
after thorough investigation of the
peoples character and situation.
The school is wholly supported by
the State and always open to inspec-
ton. A complete record is kept of
every child, giving their parentage
and everything known about them
and the progress of the child each
year since he came to the School.
Some of these records read like
novel or romance and some alas,
are tragedies. It is a great work
and if anybody ever learns to know
human nature on all sides, it is he
who handles homeless children"

Last season the Ada team was
very formidable, and met every team
of Importance in the northwestern
part of the state, being defeated but
once, the game going to Hendrum,
which team Ada had defeated,
earlier in the season. The record OF
Ada last year was as follows:
Ada SO, Hendrun %; Ada "A,
Fergus Falls 8; Ada "a, Hendrum
40; Ada so, GAINESVILLE 8; Aker's
Business College (Fargo) 10, Ada

From the above scores, it will be
seen that Ada defeated the Warren
team by about the same acore that
Big Bemidg" won from the Mar.

team would have given the locals
hard contest.
It is said that the Ada team is
just as strong this year as last, if
anything somewhat stronger, and
the players are very fast and agrees

The Big Bemidg" team has struck
its right gait, and with the members
playing together tremendously, the
five has few superiorS in the state.
The fast play put up against the
Superior Normal team has receiy ed
favorable mention from the Duluth
papers as being as fast as any team
in the entire northwest.
The locals have a long sche lude
of important games ahead, and the
boys are determined to win a major

is believed that, barring accidents
that will remove members from the
games, they will come out of the
schedule with the championship.

IF the officials who brought some
of those children to us years ago

would open their eyes to the fact
that they did better than they
knew" when they took them there.
One little girl who came to us from
bad surroundings near Bemidii, has
recently attained majority in the
home of nice family in town of
about 800 people. At popular
voting contest she was awarded a
gold watch, as the most popular
young lady in town, and I dare say
there isn't family in Bemidji who
would be ashamed to own her as a
daughter. Of course, not all make
such a mark, but several of our
grown up boys hold positions and
get salaries that would make me
envious were it not that they are in
sense my boys.

child in an unfit home and let it

H. J. jaeger of Owatonna, state
agent for the State School for
Homeless Children, was visitor in
Bemidji yesterday, on an errand for
the institution which he represents.
Speaking of his work, Mr.. jaeger
said:
II am only one of the five agents,
two ladies and three men, who are
constantly travelling about all over
the state seeking homes for our
wards, investigating homes of peo-
pie who have applied for children,
and visiting the children who are
already placed in homes. We also
meet with the county commissioners,
or other officials, to advise with
them about local cases that they
may know how to deal with.
L am on such a trip now through
the counties north of here, and
will also look up a number of our
children whose foster parents have
settled on homesteads in this new
country. We have quite a number
of children from Beltrami county,
several of them from this city, and

pose of skating a series of races at

skater, on the local rink, last winter.
/ Young Schultz has been tearing
off" mile after mile at the local
rink, during the past week, and is in
shape to make the run of his life on

as to the outcome of this evenings
race, Schultz is confident of giving
the Crookston man a race all the
way.
The race will be called prompt
at $3.50. A. C. Rutledge of this city,
will act as a starter, and the judges
will be picked from the audience.

The specific purpose of the session

law led to a bitter battle in the
courts, accompanied by frequent
clashes of authority between the
state officials and the federal judges
1t was agreed that if the law should
not be satisfactory in it's operation it
would be amended or repealed 1t is

lie and many radical changes will
likely be made.
