NIETzSCHE-STRINDBER
And George Brandes-A Bundle
of Letters,

The English Review finished in its

respondence carried on by George
Rrandes and Friedrich Nietzsche dur
ing the wear 1883. whose close brought
the final downbreak of the German
philosophers mind. BY welcome CO.
incidence. the August North Amerl-
can Review" adds to these curiously
interesting letters the brief correspon-
dence exchanged between Nietzsche
and Strindberg. whom the great Dan
ish critic had brought into epistolary
relations.
OF these letters, those written by
Brandes are the most interesting
stamped as they are with the incisive
quality of his brilliant, well balanced
mind. He was the discoverer OF
Nietzsche in Northern Europe; he in
troduced him, by means of lectures
and articles, to the Scandinavian in
telligenzia. He was forcibly struck by
the close analoSies between NietZsche s
and Strindbergs ideas and views. In
October, 1883. he wrote to the German
philosopher that he had given copy
Of one of his books TO the Swedish
dramatist, "a true genius, but little
mad" Strindberg. after having read
Nietzsche. declared: 1T is astonishing
how much there seems to be in this
Nietzsche that ! might have written
and Nietzsche wrote to him, after hav-
ing perused The Father" that he was
astonished beyond all measure TO find
work in which my own conception
of love-war with regard to its means
and its fundamental laws. nothing less
than the fundamental war Of the sexes
had been expressed in so splendid
manner" Brandes, in another note 10
Nietzsche. characterizes Strindberg
with all the clear sanity Of his critical
faculty: Can you imagine that Strind
berg abhors his wife psychically, but
cannot physically abandon herr"
Throughout this correspondence the
German philosopher, while grateful for
the service rendered him by Brandes,
and acknowledging the intellectual
kinship of Strindberg, is continually
preoccuped with his own works and
their dissemination throughout the
world-with his own greatness. He
sought in Strindberg. who was then in

Needs Revision

A state educational commission
to study the public school system
in Minnesota is advocated by G. G.
Schulze, state superintendent Of
public instruction, in his annual
report made to Governor Eberhart.
Advancement along educational
lines, increase in population and
changed conditions necessitate a
change, Mr.. Schulze says.
Commenting on the situation. he
says: The school laws need TO be
revised and codifed; educational
activities have become more diverse
and complex, there is urgent need
of better supervision and a re-
organization of rural schools; fur
ther instrumentalities are required
for the training of teachers; state'
and local expenditures for educa-
ton have reached the poirt where
we should consider their relation to
results, and the need of aweil-
defined state policy with regard to
further educational development.
These conditions call for careful
study and a constructive policy
which can best be secured by the
appointment of a state education
commission. !"

Parcel Insurance

One feature of the parcels post
system not generally known is that
mailable parcel on which the
postage is fully prepaid may be in
sured against loss in an amount
equivalent to its actual value, but
n OF to exceed $50, on payment of
fee of 10 cents in parcels post
stamps such stamps to be affixed.
When a parcel is insured the
sender will be given a receipt show
ing the Office and date of mailing
and number of the parcel.
When a return receipt is desired
by the sender of an insured parcel
the postmaster at the mailing Office
will note the request on the margin
of the insurance tag and the post
master at the Office of address will
obtain from the addressee a receipt
and mail it to the sender.
The liability for indemnity shall
cease when delivery has been af-
fected.
Parcels may be remailed or for
warded on the payment of adj
ditional postage at the rate which
would be chargeable if they were
originally mailed at the forwarding
Office. in which case the necessary
stamps must be affixed by the for
warding postmaster. Payment
must be made every time the parcel
is forwarded.

Mrs. Agnes J. chAders Dies
Wednesday Afternoon

Death, mercifully INTERVIEWED and
put an end to the sufferings of
Mrs. Agnes J. Childers Wednesday

a sufferer with nervous ailments
for the past sixteen.years and many
times during these years her life
hung by slender threads. Three
months ago she became worse,
pleurisy having aided itself to the

became more serions until New
Years day wher she peacefully
passed away, the direct cause of
her death being heart failure.
Mrs. Childers, whose maiden
name was Agnes Jane Thomas,
was born in Po.tsyille, Pa, 50
years ago on Angus Sth. In her

II. P. Bope, vice president of the
Carnegie Steel company. in an adj
dress delivered at, Rochester N. Y.
outlined the general policy of this
largest industrial corporation in
looking out for its army of en-
plopes.
It is unquestionably true" he
began, that the spirit of the times
is tending toward humanitarianism.
A proper recognition of this fact in
its relation to the human side of
labor will eliminate economic waste
and will conserve human energy. :"
Mr.. Bope spoke of the huge de-
velopment which has taken place
in the iron and steel industry of
the country, and gave this as an
excuse why the rights and welfare
of the employees had not always
been given the consideration they
should have received. He said
that the time has come when this
is possible. He strongly upheld
the position of the steel corporation
in the industrial life of the country.
He said: To-day the United
States is producing at the rate of
80. 900, 900 tons of steel annually,
and in FIVE years this enormous
tonnage bids fair to reach 40, 900, :
600. Under the conditions of
manufacture. with such pressing
demands, it is admitted that the
strain on labor is great. That we
Snail ever produce ideal conditions
is perhaps doubtful.
Our men know that the officials
of the corporation are thinking and
planning in their interest and ap-
preciate it. If there are any COM
plants theirs is the voice to speak,
not the muckraker and the would
be philanthropists. many of whom
have never been inside of steel
mill.
The steel corporation is spend
ing each year for the betterment of
its workmen not less than IS, OOO,-
600. 1t may challenge comparison
in amount and method with any
other corporation in any other line
of business.

Willing to Be Set Right

The following note received from
an enthusiastic sophomore explains
itself. The Miner was wrongly in
formed. We would also call at
tention of Sophomore to the fact
that the columns of the Miner are
!open for anv NOTES of interest. We
have offered space for weekly
school letter several times but evil
IDENTIFY sophomore" Junior" or
senior" did not feel interested
enough to write notes that would
interest themselves or the public.
If it's worth having, it is worth
going after" and we would adj
wise Sophomore" to get busy.
The Miner said in last weeks pap
er as follows:
The Seniors, Juniors and
Sophomores of the Ely High
School rendered the Alumni and
faculty of the schools a reception
and dance at the High School
building last evening at which a
goodly crowd was present and a
good time enjoyed. /"
The young lady took exception
to this and says:
In last Fridays Ely Miner
you had an article about the party
which was wrongxand very much
so. You said that the party was
given the Sophomore, Junior and
Senior classes. You also said that
the party was given at the High
School.
Here are the facts: A party
was given by the Sophomore and
Junior classes, Thursday evening,
December 26, at the Lincoln
School. Knutson's orchestra fur
nished the music and the Sopho-
more girls served refreshments.
