ures in a way which proved Of
great interest to his hearers.
Albert Steinhauser who recently
became connected with The New Ulm
Post and Review, was taken into
membership during the afternoon.
Eastwood Represented BY Letter.
Carl Eastwood Of The Heron Lake
News, one of the active members
IF the association, was represented
al yesterdays meeting by letter,
having found it impossible to at

ton was sent by Paul F. Dehnel of

Decision as to the next meeting
place was left 10 the executive
committee.
One of the pleasant features of
he afternoon vas the arrival of
Captain c. Z. Whitney of The Mar
shall News-Messenger, one of the
veteran publishers of the state, who
was greeted enthusiastically, and
called upon for a talk. Captain
Whitney discussed the proposed
freight increase, urging the pub
fishers present to take immedi-
ate and united action to prevent
the enforcement of the increase.
Following the election of officers
md an executive committee, the
meeting adjourned until the BAN
Iuet at the EIks' club.
Telegram OF Protest.
The committee appointed for the
purpose sent the following telegram
TO the state railway and warehouse
commission:
"Ma9kato. Minnesota, March %,

road and Warehouse Commissioners

of the Second district, he desired
to express his appreciation to the
people of Mankato for the way in
which they had treated the editors
and for their excellent !accommoda-
ton.
Mr.. Churchill really had a warm
lspot in his heart for Mankato be-
cause this was the first city he
started out to make a living for him.
self in, and as he noted the wonder
full changes in the city since lie was
here last. he could not help but
look back with pride at Mankato.
This city was the headquarters and
capital for the editors of this dis
trict and they looked forward to
coming here.
There are no classes of people in
the country that are more grateful
for this growth than the newspaper
men. They belong to class of
boosters and are always willing to
boost anything that will make for
the moral and public good of a COM
munity. They are always ready to
put their shoulders to the wheel in
boosting. He cited the enthusiasm
with which the editors of the north
ern part of the state boost their
country and thought that the editors
of Southern Minnesota should boost
for the second district.
Personally, Mr.. Churchill stated
that he felt proud of being an edi-
tor. Editors never have very great
material goods in this world, yet
they never starve and they feel that
they have it in their power to make
or break many people or condi.
tons, but that they must use their
Judgment, and Mr.. Churchill hoped
that it could never be said of an
editor of the second district that
he broke q man. He concluded his
remarks with few more words of
appreciation and was loudly ap-
plauded when he took his seat.

has proven one of the difficulties
to teachers in the small red school
house; better supervision, better
teachers, better buildings, apparatus
etc; it means saving in money,
better interest on the part of the
students, for they are not isolated
and this incites competition; better
attendance, better companionship,
and greater culture.
From Economic Viewpoint.
Although many may not believe
it, consolidation of schools is eco
nomical compared to a large num-
Der of small schools for we get
more for what we do spend" He
then gave the disadvantages which
some argue would result from
consolidation of schools. These were:
Depreciation of farm values far
away from school centers, for people
dislike to have small children away
from home SO long; dangers to
morals and difficulty to get good
conveyance; local jealousy, for every
body wants the school on the cor
ner of his farm; and last, antipathy
to the removal of ancient land
marks. Either of these arguments
in any case are, of course, more or
less local.
This system will, however, en-
nance the social advantages of the
community; make the farm a great
er producer; and develope the citi-
zenship.
"Now I believe that the CONSOLE
dalton of schools will do all this
and more for Southern Minnesota, and
without it, we shall lose the farm
ing population, as soon as the farm
ers learn the advantages and pleas
ures of the cities. The greatest
agency for the boosting of Southern
Minnesota is the consolidation Of
rural schools"

BANQUET AND THE TOASTS.
Food FOR Body Followed BY An In
tellectuai Feast.

At six O'Clock the editors and a
lumber OF Mankato business and
professional men enjoyed a hand
some banquet at the Elk's cafe. In
all about seventy-five were at the
tables which formed the letter T..
The repast was elegant in it's prep
aration and nicely and expeditiously
served, rejecting great credit on the
Management Of the cafe. After the
menu had been discussed and the
cigars passed, the intellectual feast
vas spread out before the assem-
Jlage. For more than two hours
Inc company was treated to toasts
f an excellent and instructive char
acter The theme, How to Boost
Southern Minnesota" was argued
from almost every angle, and out Of
t came many valuable suggestions
which must surely be beneficial to
his section Of the state.

ity of POSTMASTER and we'll did he
uphold his reputation in that respect.

,Mankato can easily claim a popula-
ton of twelve thousand including her
little sister across the river.
Two things can truthfully be said
of our infant street railway: First,
it is giving splendid service. Sec
ond, it is really paying. l am cred
itably informed that now, at this
season of the year in the absence of
the influx from circuses and con-
ventions, the street cars are carrying
about seventeen hundred people
daily; hence gentlemen you see our
people know a good thing when they
have it.
We are proud Of our city because
of its educational advantages. There
is an attendance of five or six hun
