Editor G. J. Estlund, whose bright
weekly paper, The Kennedy Star, H.
lumines and guides the pathway Of
thousands Of good Kittson county
people, published last week the fol-
lowing appreciative article on North
Star College at Warren, the new lum-
mary on the educational armament:
What do YOU think of that new
school in Warren-North Star Col
lege?" has been asked of us quite
frequently of late. We can frankly
answer, "You can safely send your
boy and girl there"
This institution represents an earn
est effort to establish a permanent
and legitimate college in the midst
of the people of Northwestern Mime
sofa, for the benefit and convenience
of their sons and daughters.
And the enterprise is promoted and
sustained by men whose integrity OF
purpose, and personal character are
above suspicion.
Furthermore it has the moral and
perhaps material support of the Swed-
ish Lutheran Synod of Minnesota.
We mention this to show that its
affiliations are good and deserving of
the confidence of the public. -
What of the location?
s The people of these counties will
find it very convenient, and if they
are ever going to build a school
worthy of our section, they should
build there, and build steadily from
now on.
Our Northern Minnesota has been
in the habit hitherto, of sending away
all its richest natural products for re
flnement and culture:., We have moi
only sent away our finest grains and
choicest of everything in our indus
trial life for this purpose, but we
have also sent away the brightest OF
our boys and girls. Often they have
been sent in this laudable quest fo,
culture, far beyond the parental in
11uences, and the results have there
Tor often proved bitterly, disappoint
| ing. If we admit that hitherto con
| dltlons here have made it necessar,
for us to send away everything tha
mas grown up in this great region
then we also hold that there is NJ
reason why those conditions shoul,
continue Indefinitely, and in the build
ing up of mills, factories and schools
we see indications that our peopl
have set out to reverse those cond
tions. ,.-..
We have nearly arrived at tha
stage now where we can keep in ou
midst that which is worthy and goo
to keep without detriment or impair
ment of opportunity, and we sha
work cordially and steadfastly t.
| gether for such complete reversal {
conditions that other states and di
tricts, to which we were wont to e
in the past, will eventually come t
us, and find it desirable to send t
us for improvement and culture. ths
which they prize most highly.
The head of the North Star is i
many respects, an ideal school man
kind and dignified, on first impre
| sion follower of the old-fashione
school of education which has bee
graced by such masters as Docto,
Wahlstrom, Elliott, Northrop, an
Sverdrup;-but on closer acquain
ance it appears that his heredita1
conservatism has been liberalized an
kindled by the modern spirit of da
ing, independent thought, where sch
lastic speculation again runs free an
rampant and individualism blaze
original trails in the iungles of educ
Itional research.
