itself demonstrate the wisdom of the
School Board in taking this action.
| Every dollar taken in and every dol
lar: which goes out is carefully and
systematically accounted for. rec
ords Of every pupil in the system
from the Primary to the Senior high
school year are kept, so that the
schools Of Willmar are at the pres
ent time one of three systems which
have permanent records Of individ-
.ual children running back over a
period of years. The other two sys-
tens, I believe, are Faribault and
Brainerd.
School Taxes.
"TAXES- a public school sys-
TEN the subject is always Of inter-
est to Board members and tax-pay-
ers. It is proper that the Board
should know whether the schools are
being run on a practical and econ
omical basis. On the other hand it
is right that, in a community able:
to do so, the schools should be sup
ported in generous and not in pc
| nurious way. In order that we might
be posted as to the financial condi-
ton Of Willmar, it has been my en-
deavor, during my term of service
here, to keep myself posted as best
could upon the cost of public edu-
cation in our city, as compared to
the cost of education in other school
districts, both in Minnesota and in
| other states.
81 have investigated the situation
from various points Of view. / have
compared the cost from a tax-rate
| basis. / have compared the cost per
pupil in this and other schools, and
| have compared the cost per $l0,-
100000 true valuation here with the
cost per 100000 true valuation
elsewhere. find that, according to
State Inspector Atoms last report
Of high schools, the average rate Of
taxation in Minnesota high school
towns was slightly, over 81 mills,
while in Willmar, figuring on the
same basis, the tax rate per pupil,
the tax rate was but 1853 mills, and
at the present time is but 1872 mills.
The cost per pupil in the Willmar
schools approximates $28.00 while
there are about SO cities whose av-
Ierage cost is over $780,. and the in
dividual school districts run up to as
high as $77.00 per pupil. + s: .... s..

Likewise, in comparing the
amount Of money used for public

compared to the amount used else

Of the Minnesota State Tax Commits
sion that Willmar is using $71.20 out
Of every $10.O00.0O of its true val

are demanding from the taxpayers
more than $4,000 out Of every $10,-

The Normal Department.

"Normal Department: The Normal
Department Of our schools has now
been in operation for three years. In
a number Of places I am told that
the normal department has not fitted
in we'll with the rest of the system,
and that there is friction and gener-
al dissatisfaction to the point that
the normal department is to be drop
ped from the school. I am pleased
to say that in our system the nor
NAL department. is doing splendid
work. It is appreciated by the pu-
pills, the teachers, and I believe by
the School Board and townspeople
as well. It furnishes an opportun-
ity for girls. and boys, who wish to
teach in the rural schools, a chance
for professional training which the
County Superintendent says is equal
to two years of experience by them
selves. It has saved the school dis
trict the expense Of at least one
grade teacher, and has furnished
needed assistance to the teachers in
over crowded grades. Taken alto
gether the work is very satisfactory,
and in my judgment is a very much
needed department in our schools.

take care of the business interests
that may come under their control.
They will make men of judicious
minds ready to grasp the mighty
problems that are today making men
think, and use their energy and abb
lily, that have been given them
through the hearty pioneer of some
sections Of this great country.
Reaping the Harvest.
You Who are today reaping the har-
vest of dollars that flow into the
banking houses of the northwest,
making your deposit account grow
with u any seeming effort. Stop
and think again Of the energy that
the first men that came to this coun-
trv had, and then think that some
of the energy you are spending on
the useless things, could be concen-
trated upon the welfare OF the pub
lie at large, and not seem hoggish in
manner or deed. Some seem to think.
that all they must do is to pile up,
the mighty dollars, and forget to
humanize.
Think Of Others First.
You are apt to see this any place.
But we of this state can point with
pride to the 500 per cent Of the bust
ness men here and know that their
aim is to better the condition that
exist around them and the result will
be, seen in future generations. They
were brought UP to think Of the other
man before themselves and the teach
ings of the old gray haired man that
was the boy Of yesterday, clings to
them, and will until their time draws
to a close. We can see the boy of yes
terday sitting by the old boss trough,
thinking Of that long ago, whei. Mar
tina and. he were s%weethearts and
those little curly heads just won't
stop b%othering him and a whoop and
hurrah and he is the center of the
most lawful band OF red skins and
here they are Johns children; and
1t seems only yesterday that John
was like this, and then he looks at
Martha and 1t all comes back to him
that his yesterday was in the long
ago, and thinking of the efforts that
they had put forth, working side by
side to make that home and happi-
ness which vas by their own making.
See Them Every Day.
Reader you a see these scenes
every. day in North Dakota, the land
Of plenty, and where you do not have
to want. Your energy and ability

Rock Island Will Survey

:San Diego Unionl: c. A. Morse,
for a number of years chief engineer
of the Santa Fe railway, has accepted
the offer of H. u. Nudge, president Of
the Rock Island system to become
chic. engineer of that road at d salary
OF $4,000 a year. Morse was given a
contract for five years.

Nudge obtained the services Of En-
gincer Morse for the purpose of eN-
tending the Rock Island into San Diego.
Since the first of the year President
Nudge has been in San Diego no less
than four times and during each stay
he has made flying trips to the Impe-
rial valley and the back country, with
Morse his companion.
A well known business man of this
city, who has been an intimate friend
Of Morse for many years, said yeSter-
day that while he has not been ap-
praised through official channels OF
the proposed routing of the Rock
Island from Tucson to San Diego, il is
understood that Morse was employed
by President Nudge to survey and plan
the extension of the Rock Island lines
from the Arizona city, through Impe-
rial valley to San Diego.

oughly familiar with the problems that
will be faced should the Rock Island

Nudge and the other officials of the

Greece to Prince William, then in his
teens. Russia and England approved
of the choice and the other powers
followed suit.
The young prince was elected king
of the Hellenes by the national assem-
bly, at Athens, March 18, 1863, taking
the title of King George I.
The first few years Of his reign
We're comparatively peaceful and his
stantinowna, eldest daughter of Grand
Duke Constantine of Russia, greatly
strengthened his position.
In 1897 trouble arose and the Del
yannis cabinet forced the king to 60

for war and was certain of defeat. The
war was short and would have been
disastrous for Greece had not the other
European powers come to the rescue
and put a stop to further hostilities.
This seemed to bring the Greeks to
how much they owed to their king,
Immediately before the war the most
unpopular and almost despised man in
Greece, so disliked, in fact, that even
an attempt was made to shoot him and
his daughter, Marie, while they were
driving, and he became popular hero
and he and his family were idolized
by the easily swayed people.
The kings eldest son, Crown Prince
Constantine, was married at Athens
October 20, 1889. to Princess Sophie of
Prussia, sister of Emperor William,
and his second son, Prince George, ap-
pointed high commissioner in Crete
after the war, married Princess Marie
Bonaparte in 1907. The other children
of the king also became connected by
marriage with the reigning houses of
Russia and Great Britain.

cantaloupe crop. you will have no
oranges in the way" said Mr.. Coons,
and the eastern deciduous crops are
nearly all killed by the cold weather
which followed the warm spring. In
Michigan l am told that some of the
fruit growers placed cracked ise on
the ground near the base of the trees
in an endeavor to keep back the buds.
They knew that cold weather would
follow Only few could afford to
do this. When the buds were swelling
on the orchards along came this

Warrants for Firebuqs Issued

CHICAGO, March 19.-One hundred
and fourteen warrants for 81 alleged
members of the arson ring were issued
by Judge Wade in the municipal court.
Twenty-eight of these names are Of
business men, some of them wealthy.
Their names were not made public
pending arrests.
When arrests are made the total
number of persons taken into custody
will aggregate A, alleged to have been
implicated in 40 fires from which a
total of 100000 was collected in in
surance.
Assistant States Attorney Johnson
declared that large number of war
rants growing out of smaller fires
probably would be issued later. The
present warrants were based on i'm
portant fires.
In some cases three warrants charg
ing separate offenses were taken out
against one person. They charge ar
son, burning to defraud and conspiracy
to defraud. In the arson cases the
bonds were fixed at $4,000, and where
there was an additional charge against
an individual charged with arson an
additional $4,000 bond was required.
