The Ideal life, as outlined by Governor
Suzer, which pictured the farm in It's
peaceful surroundings. is certainly the
dream Of most men. The question is
whether the Governor expects TO turn
Wall Street into a rural district or pur-
poses to have his farm surrounding
great big white house at Washington.

According TO "The Evening Indepen-
dent" OF ST. Petersburg. Fla, a new
sponge market is soon TO be opened on
the west coast of Florida. in competition
with the we'll known sponge market at

sponges direct to the large retail dealers,

the domestic sponge trade. The new
company will be known as the Rock Isl
and Sponge Company, Inc, of Manhattan
1t is Incorporated under the laws OF the
State of New York, with Waldemar Welge

VINCENT URGES SCHOOL
INQUIRY; PENSION PtAN


st. Paul, January 31.-President
George E. Vincent of the University
of Minnesota and other educators ap.
peared before the house and senate
committees on education at joint
meeting Wednesday night and urged
the appointment OF commission to
Investigate school conditions in Min
nesota. A bill has been drawn pro.
viding for the appointment by the
governor of seven commissioners and
an appropriation of $4,000 for the
work of the commission. The COM
mission is to report to the governor
not later than December !, 1914. G..
G. Schulz, superintendent of public
instruction, John l.. Silvernale of
Redwing, J. NJ. Mcconnell of Man
katO, and other members of the leg.
islative committee of the state ed
ucational association advocated the
appointment of the commission.
President Vincent said that he be-
lieved such commission could find
the flaws in the present system and
make suggestions that would be of
great value. Other educators express
sed the same views. The committee
also considered the move for teach
ers pensions to apply to all public
school teachers of the state.
What Bill Stands For.
II. b. Carlson. president of the AL
bert Lea board of education, sup
ported the bill. 1t provides that no
foreign language need be taught in
any high school of the state and a
foreign language Shall not be reQuir-
ed for entrance to the university.
Unless a stipulated amount of voca-
tiOnal training is given in the high
school it will be cut off from state
aid
Mr.. Carlson contended that eight
of the sixteen credits for entrance
to The university might be vocation
al. Mr.. Carlson cited Germany as
having exemplified the vocational
training system, and England as a
horrible example of want of such a
system. The United States is worse
than England. he asserts.
The Teachers Pensions.
1t is too early in the legislative
session yet to tell what will be done
with the proposed bill for a state
wide teachers pension act. which
measure was drafted in Winona
While along somewhat similar lines
the measure has it's differences from
the teachers pension bill for Mime
apolis, St Paul and Duluth passed
by the legislature of 1911.

OLD BOYS SEEK POSITION
From Fridays Daily.

peace of this precinct, and in his
eighty-eighth year, and Jim Brown,
ex-editOr of the Amboy Herald, in
his eighty-second year, both double
dyed in the wool and wool republic
ans. are about, not only to throw
their hats, but coats. vests and
pants, into the ring and make a
quick dash jointly for the post Of
flee plum, says The Amboy Herald
They base their claim to the office
from the significant fact that when
Congressman Hammond was here
they were both introduced to him
and Nate gave him a good cigar and
Jim gave him wink and smile,
which was all he had with him at
the physiological moment. AS little
departure in campaigning for post
office they propose to hoof it to
Washington and appear in 'propria
persona before Hammond who holds
in the hollow of his mighty right
hand the destinies of a hundred or
more post office aspirants. If joint
~ elected the above named appli-'
cants will agree to deliver all in

that they will, at their own expense,

SiZe up OF bIlt.
This schedule is somewhat higher
than provided in the bill for the lig
cities, where the annuities range be.
tween $333:33 and $500 The provi-
sions call for a maximum payment of
$500 in twenty years or $500 in thir.
ty years. The idea is to have the
legislature levy a tax to help eStab.
lish and maintain the fund.
Attention has heretofore been di.
rected to most of the principal provi-
sions of the bill. An important prOvi.
sion is that those who have been
teaching in the schools of the state
for fifteen years can come under the
provisions of the bill at the time of
its adoption This section says:
ANY person employed as teacher
in schools when this act takes effect
if he or she has taught fifteen years
in the state of Minnesota. may at
any time before September ], 1913,
elect to come within the provisions
of this act by notifying iirs writing
the board of trustees as herein pro
vided
Giving Notice to Board.
AT the time of giving the notice
to the board, such teacher shah
notify the local governing body by
whom he or she is employed, in
writing, of his or her election to
come within the provisions of this
act, and shall authorize said manag-
ing board as part of said notice,
to deduct from each payment of
salary due him OF her the assessments
provided for in this act and in ac-
cordance with the amount of service
credited to said teacher by the board
of trustees. Such teacher may pay
arrearage assessments for the years
of teaching credited to him or her
by the board of trustees in either of
the following forms: The full
amount in cash during the first year
of membership in the fund, or in
FIVE equal annual payments with in
terest at the rate OF per cent per
annum, payable annually upon the
deferred installments, and in case
that the latter option is taken, in
terest upon the deferred installments
shah commence at the end of the
first year, after membership in the
fund begins"
