Detroit Lodge, No. "a, B. P. o. E..
Is soon to realize its long-cherished
dream OF splendid big home Of It's

local Elkdom for the last 10 years, and
when the long campaign came to an
end Friday night, there was scene of
boundless enthusiasm in the lodge
rooms on Monroe-ave., which are
leased from the Moore & Virgins
Amusement Co.
Mr.. Virgins, who recently died, was
q prominent member of Lodge No. "a,
and leased the present quarters to the
organization for $500 a year.
Secretary Roger P. Hurley stated
Saturday morning that no definite
plans as to the money to be spent on
the new building had yet been made,
but that 1t will probably cost about
$500, 900. inclusive of the lot, furnish.
ings, and incidentals.
A fine roof garden will be feature
of the new building.

school Purposes has actually de-
creased. 1t was less last year than
the aver: ke for the last ten years.
Let me cite as an instance of this
manager. ent that the cost of heat
ing the buildings has not increased
for ten -;ears. in spite Of the fact,
that the new high school building
added n~arly fifty percent to the
space to be heated, and hence
should lave increased the fuel bill
by about that amount.
1t will cost some thing over 81, 600
to maing ain the manual training
and the domestic science depart
ments.
The last State legislature, recog-
nizing the Importance of more
practical education, made an appro-
priation to aid high schools in es-
tablishing manual training, domes-
tic science and agricultural depart
ments by providing two-thirds the
cost Of maintenance up to So, 500.
This was first given to ten schools
but there is every reason to believe
that this policy will be continued
and additional funds provided for
this purpose to such schools as make
special effort, and show special in
terest. To maintain these three
departments would cost approxi-
mately $4,000, but by getting the
special state aid, it would cost the
district only 81. 200, or $500 to ST.
600 less than it would cost to main
tain two of these departments, man.
ual training and domestic science.
From this it is very evident that
it would be a business proposition
for the district to get in line for
this special state aid by putting a
reasonable amount into a little
building for industrial and agricul-
tural purposes. There will be such
competition for this aid that only
those schools will get it that have
made some special effort to merit
it. Erecting building such as
the resolutions contemplate, will
not be an additional source of ex.
pense to the community, as the in.
terest on the bonds will be amply
taken care of by the additional state
aid of about 1914 Willmar has
always been sensible and generous
in matters of education, and it is to
be hoped that the Board Of Edu"a.
tion will be sustained in their pro.
gressive policy of providing for our
children facilities for an education
more suited to the needs of the
community, and in harmony with
the best educational movements OF
the time, P. C. Tonning.

In the last issue of this paper

resolutions.
/ cannot here enter into any dis
cussion of the new movements in

there is a general feeling both
among educators and the public
that our education has been too
bookish and purely academic to suit

by introducing manual training and
