NORTH SIDE NEWS.
Interest in Reorganization of
Church Team.

The opening of the baseball season
today and the meeting of the Acme
team of the Central Avenue Christian
church at the Grant school diamond
this evening has created great enthus-
iasm for baseball, both as local
proposition and in the game in general
among the fans of the North side.
1t is not unlikely that a team or two
besides the team from the church will
be organized. The North side was well
represented at the bal! park this after
noon for the official opening of the
season. The closing of the stores aid
ed in this. Indications are that the
Acme team will not be lacking in good
material.

manager of the team, this morning.
Several of the old players and others
have signifed their intention to try

FAIR FUND IS GROWING.
Total of $s25 Raised for Big Show
This Morning.
s54.9a4


At noon today the state fair fund
had reached $50, 900 in round numbers,
1925 having been added to the sub
scription list during "a hours. A
dozen workers were out this morning,
but they reported that the picking was
poor.
1t is not likely that another big con-
centrated effort will be made to in
crease the fund, but individual work
will be carried on, and it is confidently
expected that some of those who have
already invested in stock will double
their subscriptions.
One of the prominent business men
who has himself subscribed literally
to the state fair fund said today that
he was of the opinion that later on
when it is found that the fair pays out
handsomely in financial way, there
will be a good many people who will
be sorry that they did not take out
more stock ct this time.
At 1880 this evening a meeting of
the board of managers of the fair will
be held at the Commercial club to dis
euss prospective improvements to be
carried out on the fair grounds. The
architect and the engineer who are
devoting their time in the interests of
the new enterprise will be present.
Architect Stanton is working over
time preparing the plans and specifica-
tions for the new concrete stock
building which will be put in the hands
of contractors during the fore part of
next week.

the rural schools which he gave were,

Mr.. Schultz thinks these things are
coming soon for Minnesota, further
improving in every way and the
"most prominent indication of pro-
gress is the intelligence and earnest

toward public schools and education.
Representative L. C. Spooner was
called upon by Mr.. Schultz to give his
ideas upon the questions discussed.
After giving little of the history
of the compulsory law, he made the
startling statement that the law was
really enacted for about seventeen
cities like Minneapolis st. Paul and
Duluth. These cities were up
against the proposition of keeping the
children off the streets and that was
their only remedy.

Demonstrations.

Mr.. Higbee gave the first demon
stration. The first thought all over
United States is beginning to realize
that the one room school is not just
the thing and that school work must
be made definitely and directly ap-
plicable to the lives of the children.
With others. Mr.. Higbee is con-
WINGED and is able to. convince you
that this practical work must be put
into the rural schools and taught
there.
But the perplexing problem is how
to get the movement started. He
suggested the study of soil as a start
err, the apparatus being simple and of
very little expense. Then as the
patrons saw the value of such work,
it would be extended in into soil
analysis. testing of milk selection. of
seeds and their analysis.
Mr.. Plath, a teacher in the Agri-
cultural School gave comprehensive
study of "Seeds and seed selection.
He says seed selection is advocated to
improve the quality of grain. to in
crease the yield and destroy the weeds.
1t has been found helpful to teach
seed selection in the schools and he
suggests three phases of study.
l. Make collections of seeds. these
may be bought or collected by pupils.
2. Analize seeds. Teachers may
teach the pupils to separate the good
kernels from the bad kernels and
weed seeds.

On lastFriday we were flooded with
visitors. whe were here to attend the
educational meetings and we were
glad to have them. At the general
exercise period we had speeches from
State Supt. Schultz and from Prof.
Quigley of Minnesota University and
our county Supt. Ray S. Roberts an
nounced the meetings to be held that
day. Just before the noon hour Miss
Swenson the Supt. of Big Stone coun-

dent of Traverse county Mr.. Williams
came in and the latter gave us a de-
lightful talk.
Mr.. Fuller received a telephone
message Wednesday from Supt. Hall
of Herman who wished to arrange
games with our teams for Friday
night. But we had to write them we
couldn't come because we have not yet
obtained a hall to practice in.
The first literary program of this
year was given at the high school
Wednesday afternoon by the Chresto-
nathan Society. The spirit of Thanks
giving was manifest in all the num-
bers from the roll call to the an
nouncement of the Alumni game.
The feature of the program was the
presentation of the "Courtship of
Miles sStandish. The part of the Cap
tain was taken by Olaf Satter while
Clara Rasmussen made charming
Priscilla. John Alden, the bashful
clerk; was acted by Alfred Carney.
The other characters were. the village
elder, Harry Hammond, and the In
dians. Robert Stenger. Harry Nelson,
Harry Peterson and Martin Berg.
The play presented real picture of
Puritan pioneer life and the actors
displayed considerable histrionic talent
both in expression and action. The
Captains heavy tread and Priscilla at
her spinning were particularly effect
i've. We are glad to give Miss Gill
christ credit for the work she did in
training those who took part.
The other numbers of the program
were:

schools in the last ten years in which
he has been connected with summer
schools at Morris. He said that when

most one half the teachers in the
county were teaching on permits and
that today nearly every school de-
mands first grade teacher. He con-
graduated the directors. teachers and
pupils upon their progress and i'm

the teachers would follow the direc-
lions given by Mr.. Quigley in the af-
ternoon and the directors fulfill the
duties given by Mr.. Williams. the
schools would be soon advanced beyond
recognition.

spoke upon the "Relation of the Coun-
ty Superintendent to the Trustees. .
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1910-11-25
A Sunshiny Talk.

There were four relations which he
brot out in the talk which was SO APP
plicable to all life. And then this
little sunshiny man, giving his talk
with the sunshine and good feeling
fairly sticking out all over him, made
the plans and suggestions seem all the
more attractive and feasible.
The four relations were those of
acquaintance, of cooperation, of in
formation and the official relation.
Under the first he showed the nee
cessity of the acquaintance and good
feeling between the trustees and coun-
ty superintendent very plainly. With
this he made the suggestion that the
trustees make the advances when
there il a new county superintendent
because every one knows how much
easier it is for two hundred men to
learn to know one man than for one
man to learn to know the 200.
Secondly the trustees and county
superintendent "must cooperate to
operate we'll and wisely"
Again the superintendent is often
considered as an information bureau.
The superintendent should be advised
with and he is the one to go to for
necessary information but don't flood
him with unnecessary questions.
Then lastly there are the official re-
lations. Let officers be prompt with
their reports and have them accurate.
Then let there be unity of effort
about securing the teacher.

What is a Student Worth?

Professor Quigley was the next
speaker and gave an interesting pro-
blem which had been worked out by
the State Superintendent of Pennsyl-
vania showing the money value of a
High School students time in school
and which could be applied to the
value of all learning. This state
superintendent asked High School
superintendent to look up the careers
of a number of H. S. graduates and
the same number of people who had
left their schools when in the eighth
grade or soon after. From the aver
age it was found that the H. S. grad
uate earned $3.50 more a year than
the others. Then he took the earning
life time of man as twenty years.
Multiplying $3.50 by twenty gives
$4,000 or the return for four years
work spent in High School. There
are 72O days spent in High School.
Dividing $4,000 by 72O gives almost
81 or the value per day of high
school students time while in school.
1t is easily seen that this is very
conservative estimate and ''yet, he
says. eve object to spending a little
more money on schools, apparatus and
teachers to get the best. -
He defined "good school" as a
place where there are good healthfu]
conditions, good moral inspirations
and a desire created to carry the edu-
cation into every day use.
