ST. CLOUD IS PROUD
Stearns County Seat Town is Now
in the Ten thousand Class
for Population

ST. Cloud, the thriving county seat
town of Stearns county, is feeling good
because the 1910 census shows it to be
in the ten thousand class. To be ex-
plicit, the count reveals a population
of 10000, whereat both daily papers
and all the citizens down that way
are feeling pretty well, thank you.
ST. Cloud now ranks sixth among the
Minnesota cities, the order based on
population being as follows: Minnea-
polls, st. Paul, Duluth, Winona, Vir-
ginia, st. Cloud. Mankato follows next
with Saltwater eighth. st. Cloud
gained nearly 1000 people during the
decade, while Winona lost 2,12O,
Saltwater 1,l31 and Mankato 234. In
1880 ST. Cloud had 2,462, in 1890 1886.
in 1900 S,S63.

Burbank does not believe that his
methods are applicable to plants alone.
He asserts that in this nation, where
so many types commingle, there will
be produced, eventually, the finest
race the world has ever known. He
declares the nation must consciously
strive toward that ideal, giving its
young an environment of love and
health and wholesomeness. Though
ruthless in his destruction of the
plants which do not fit his botanical
purpose, Mr.. Burbank advocates no
destruction of the unfit in the human
race. He claims that our modern
system of education forces the eSchild
far too much, and that there should
be no school save play and out of doors
until the age of ten.
"Little time would be lost," he
writes. ''For the child started in
school at ten, with the active brain
and body of well-fed and well-nour-
ished childhood, would advance by
leaps and bounds through the courses
he must cover. From an article in

made no apologies and asked little

To all the gossip and irresponsible
