The Thirteenth Century

At the beginning of the thirteenth century, partly owing to the destruc- ticn of the feudal system and the com iuercial activity growing out of the crusades, people began to dwell more generally in towns than before. The centralization of the population gave rise to social needs. While people were scattered through small districts, the charitable spirit of the country people was sufficient to enable them to care for the few ailing people among them. With the establishment of even small cities there came demand for hos pi,als and this did not escape the watchful eye of Innocent IT. He de- termined to found hospital in Rome that wou6l fully meet the needs of the times. He consulted the best medical men of his time and they all assured him that the best and most success ful hospital management was to be found at Montpelier, France. This city had long been a favorite place of pill grimage for the sick members of the royal and noble families of Europe
 innocent invited (and an invitation | from him was equal to command | Guido or Guy the administrative head
 of the hospital in Montpelier to come te

History of Hospitals

"It is well for us to look little into the history of hospitals or institutions for the care of the sick. Although few such institutions are said to have existed in Ancient Greece, it was only since the foundation of Christianity that systematic efforts were made to care for the sick in charitable institutions.

LOVE AND THE AEROPLANE
Some Good Advice for Those Daring
Mortals Who Would Do Their
Courtlns Aloft.

Secure a nice roomy aeroplane, and
place in 1t an old-fashioned sofa or
armchair. Then put the girl in, get
In yourself and turn on the power.
Do not be in any hurry. Get far
enough up so that you can be preoc-
cupied for a few moments without
landing.
1t Is just as we'll to strap the girl
In. She can't get away, OF course, but
you can kiss a girl In an aeroplane
much easier II she is firmly secured.
Always keep one hand on the steer
Ing apparatus and the other on the
girl; but II worst comes TO worst, let
go the steering apparatus.
The following schedule, II adhered
to, will prevent ordinary accidents:
Five hundred feet up, hold girls
hand.
Six hundred feet up, arm around her
waist.
Seven hundred feet, drop everything
and hold girl, working steering appa-
ratus with both feet.
Be careful. when you alight, not to
come down lear a church. In the ex-
element OF the occasion you may for
get yourself and marry the girl.
Many fatal accidents have resulted In
this manner.-Puck.

THE Il D

The position of the Historical So
Ciety in South Dakota is not without
precedent. A similar system has OBJ
tanned in Wisconsin for half a cen
fury and Minnesota has an arrange
ment very like it. And let it be said
that in both these states the scheme
seems to work satisfactorily. It's
friends contend that its greatest virtue
lies in the elimination Of politics
from the office.
The supporters Of Mr.. Robinson call
attention to the excellent results
achieved by the South Dakota society
in comparison with what is being &C.
cOmplished in Iowa or Minnesota.
where much greater appr0pr atiOnS
are provided yearly, and those for his
toriCal work only. They point with
pride to the enormous collection Of the
books and relics and the referen e Ii
brary. the value of which is said to
run into six figures. With the eXcep-
ton of the congressional library at
Washington. South Dakota, has the
la! gest Sioux Indian library in exist
ence. In the collection Of vital sta
tistiCs this state is the only one in
the west which has won reo7gniti n
from the bureau of commerce and la
Dor by getting comparison in the fed
eral census. This a all been a
complished by the society and brought
10 it's present standard within a few
years.
1t would be difficult to conceive Of
any other at the historians desk than
Doane Robinson. He has been iden-
titled with the state and it's develop
ment for a great many years and
should there come to be any change
from the present plan, he would I'M
qu~estionably remain in office at the
solicitation of the governor.

STATE HISTORIAN
THE LEGISLATURE MAY PROVIDE
FOR APPOINTMENT BY
THE GOVERNOR
TO MAKE APPROPRIATIONS
Under the Constitution the State Will
Establish a Department EN-
bracing Its Statistics
History, Etc.

Pierre-Capitol hill rumors hint at
proposed legislation affecting the flu
ture of the State Historical Society
and the Department of History. 1t
credence can be placed in these re-
ports, an e~ndeavor will be made to
make the state historian an appointee
Of the governor and bring his depart
ment directly under the jurisdiction
Of the state. Efforts TO trace the
source of the stories fail to lead 10
any particular head, but the persist
enCy OF the talk is worth more than
passing notice.
The objections to the present
scheme seem TO be that the state is
legislating appropriations for the main
tenance of a department that in reality
is a private institution. 1t is contended
that the constitution requires the state
"a have direct supervision over any
department for which appropriations
ale made-that the historical should
be no exception.
The department of history was es-
tatlished in 1901. Chapter 1876 Of the
Session Laws define 1t. the secretary
Of the department is chosen by the
executive committee of the State His
torical Society. The present srcre arg.
Mr.. Doane Robinson. of Pierre, has
held that position ;inre the inception
Of the society and il Is under his
direct supervision that all the work
of the department has been acComp-
lished.
The department today conducts Ave
divisions of work: Historical Society.

Between thirty-fivc and forty thOus-
and dollars have been appropriated for
maintenance since the department was
created. this covering salaries and ex-
p~enscs-eXcept printing bills which
have been paid III of the state fund,
provided for that PURPOSE. Follow
ing are the appropriations for the de-
paTtment from the time it was c Gated,
up to 1910:
Year 1901. $4,000.
Year 1902. $5OO.O0.
Year 1903. $4,000.
Year 1904. 81. 10000.
Year 1905 $4,000.
Year 1905. So $1,000.
Year 1907. s. $4,000.
