The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1911-03-02

Under the reapportionment bill
/ that recently passed the House and
which is now up to the Senate, there
are some changes in the Stearns- Ben
ton apportionment. The present ar
rangement provides for a senatorial
district comprising Benton county,
! the seventh ward of ST. Cloud in
Sherburne county, the city of st.
Cloud, and the townships Of St.
Cloud and LeSauk. This constitutes
the forty-seyenth district and has one
senator and two representatives. The
rest of Stearns county constitutes the
| tifty-iourth district and has one sena-
tor and two representatives.
According to the proposed new ap-
portionment, the forty-second dis
trict is to comprise Benton county,
the seventh ward of St. Cloud in
Sherburne county, the city of st.
Cloud and the villages of Holding,
Sartell and Waite Park, and the town
of Holding, Brockway, st. Wendell,
LeSauk, St. Cloud, ST. Augusta and
Lynden This district is entitled to
one senator and one representative.
The county of Benton and the seventh
ward of st. Cloud comprises one rep
resentative district. the rest of the
territory in the forty-second senatori-
al district being the other one.
The rest of Stearns county outside
of that included in the forty-second
senatorial district is to comprise the
forty-third district and is entitled to
one senator and two representatives.
Under this apportionment the Sank
Centre district remains as under the
present arrangement, embracing the
towns of Ashley, Sank Centre, Mel
rose, Raymond, Getty Grove, North
Fork, Lake George, Spring Hill, Crow
Lake, Grow River, Lake Henry, Zion
and Paynesville, and the cities and
villages situated therein. The rest of
the forty-third senatorial district
comprises the other representative
district: $3.50.
The friends for the Minnesota
Home School for Girls are exerting
themselves to secure an ample appro-
priation for the new buildings at
Sank Centre. The start that has
been made there is considered good as
far as it goes, but greater accommo-
dations are needed. Following close
upon the meeting of the Woman's
Clubs last week, Mrs. c. G. Higbee,
president of the State Federation, and
Mrs. Fannie F. Morse, superinten-
dent of the school, appeared before
the House appropriation committee
and entered a strong plea for more
money.
Mrs. Higbee spoke of the school and
it's work and then introduced Mrs.
Morse, who recently came to Mime
sofa from Massachusetts. Mrs. Morse
praised Minnesota girls, declaring
they have more latent ability and re-
serve force than the girls with whom
she dealt with in the East. In spite
of this, she says the school will soon
have 140 inmates if there is room pro-
vided for this number. There are at
present four cottages, accommodate
ing eighty girls. Three more are
wanted. Each cottage is unit and
has a moral tone all it's own. The
work, according to Mrs. Morse, is pure
ly constructive. The institution is
not one of punishment but correction.
1t is along this line that she feels the
necessity for hospital. False moral
ity, she says, results aot infrequently
from a physical defect and mental
and spiritual improvement come ra-
pidly when the girl is physically right.
TRUTH.
