LOSING THE WAY,

Minneapolis Tribune: r. G. Dunn,
whose good roads bill is before the
state senate, has naive explanation
of how any county may raise money
to build more roads than the bare
two or three miles that the new good
roads fund will provide. ct is prac-
tically impossible under my BILL" he
says, "to raise enough money for i'm.
provement to permit of jobbery and
corruption. The only way bonds can be
issued is upon the affirmative vote
of the people. You will notice that
my bill provides for voting upon is
suing bonds for road or roads, The
plural is used to enable the county
to build road that otherwise would
not be possible. For instance, a
road across the east end of the coun.

of ten the people of the west side

this road or not vote at ALL But

death OF MISS WEBSTER
From Tuesdays Daily.

from tuesdays Oaily.
Miss Cora Webster passed away
at her home, LAG LeSueur street,
yesterday afternoon after long
period of illness and suffering from
cancer. Miss Webster was formerly
a school teacher, but for the last
few years she has been at home on
account of the illness Of her mother,
Mrs Mary 0. Webster, who has been
an invalid for several years Miss
Webster was an excellent teacher and
was spoken of very highly in the
several different places, where she
taught. She has many friends here,
who will mourn the death of an ex-
cel1ent and much-beloved lady.
Cora Webster was born in Leray
township in 1866. In 1881 she came
to Mankato with her parents and has
resided here ever since. Her father,
Gilbert Webster died about ten years
ago. Miss Webster was educated in
the public schools here, was a high
school graduate and graduated from
the normal school here in 1858. She
taught for several years at Tracy
and has many warm friends there.
She was a member of the Congrega-
tiOnal church. For the past year she
has been suffering from what is
thought to have been cancer and
some time ago was operated on at
the hospital in Rochester.
She is survived by her mother,
Mrs. Mary o. Webster, brother,
Frank, of ST. Paul, and two sisters,
Mrs. Fred True of Indian Lake and
Mrs. E. NJ. Walker of Colorado.
The funeral services will be at the
house at 1890 Thursday morning,
under the direction of Rev. l.. r.
Badger. Interment will take place
at GlenWOOd cemetery.

TAXING LAND VAL UES.

Edmonton, the capital city of AL
berta, has exempted buildings from
taxation for many years, and this
year has abolished the business tax
Edmonton now raises all it's NUM-
cipal revenues by land-value taxa
ton. One of the results of the tax
alton of land values in Edmonton
has been the breaking up of a large
tract of land, previously held vacant
by the Hudson Bay company. This
has been subdivided and much of it
sold to persons who intend to use it
for business and residential purposes.
British Columbia is the banner
province in the matter of land
value taxation. In addition to the
exemption of agricultural improve
ments from taxation there is a
special tax of four cents an acre
on all wild land. The cities and
towns have home rule in taxation,
and many of them have adopted the
taxation of land values only as a
means of raising revenue Van
couver has been using this system
for nearly three years, and the
result has been so strikingly bene.
fetal that the neighboring cities
of Victoria and New Westminster
have since adopted it by popular
vote.
This method of taxation certainly
must be boon to the Industrial
growth of any community. To tax
improvements is one means of sti-
fling the growth and prosperity of a
community. Such a system dis
courages the outlay of capital and
retards industrial expansion. Were

across the east end. Thus the tWner
proposition will carry the one"
In other words, by Mr.. Dun IN
own admission, his bill mai Yes
it hard to get money for buildh az
good roads except by direct taxess
and very hard to get enough money
by bonds unless the county is foot
enough to build five unnecessary
roads to obtain one that is OF value
There are other defects in the bill
that should be remedied by amend
ment, if the bill as a whole is adopt
ed. BY it's terms the state highway
commission may designate a given
road as a state highway even II the
county commissioners object, but
this road must not lie within an in
corporated village. The village may
designate the road as state high
way, but such designation is not
made compulsory, nor is power con-
ferred upon anybody outside the VII
lage to make it compulsory.
The interest of Hennepin county
demands an amendment that Will
permit the state highway commits
sion or the county to cross village
lines, for Minneapolis is entirely sur
rounded by villages, and their ac-
quiescense in the good roads endeav-
ors of the county commission is by
no means certain. Another lack III
the bill is that Of providing power
i'm the hands of some body OF more
than county jurisdiction to extend
Estate highways so as to form state
hn ~
ceived, might build road to Osseo;
an adjoining county might build
road in this direction to its county
Iline; Hennepin county might refuse
to extend the Osseo road to join the
other road. A bill proposed by j.
NJ. Barclay, enabling the state high
way commission, when any road is
completed to within 25 percent OF its
total length, to order its completion,
should be incorporated in the bill.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION.

The movement for vocational edu-
cation in this country is now in full
swing Six states already have more
or less complete systems OF vocation
al training, and number OF others
are considering legislation to intro
duce into the public schools work
that will fit boys and girls more di-
rectly for earning living. In or
der to aid in the movement the
National Society for the Promotion
of Industrial Education has issued a
brief, explicit statement of what it
considers the main principles that
would underlie the proposed legisr
lation, and the United States bureau
of Education, while not giving Off
cial Endorsement to the program as
a whole, is sending copies of the
pamphlets to those who apply for it.
What are the essentials of state
system of practical education? The
society's circular endeavors to an
swer this question. In few short
nontechnical paragraphs it sums up
certain of the fundamental policies
of vocational education as this socie-
ty sees it. 1t urges state aid to the
local communities. 1t recognizes
four fields of vocational training as
the kind the state ought to furn-
ish it's boys and girls: Industrial ed
ucation for workers in the trade and
industries and in the household; ag.
ricultural education for the farmers;
commercial education for clerks,
statesmen, etc.; and household arts
education" for non-wage-earning Oc-
equations connected with the home.
In other words, the state ought to
make it possible for children to re-
ceive in the public schools instruc-
ton that will fit them directly for
productive employing in any of
these useful occupations, instead of
sending them out with little or no
training for the real work they ARE
going to do. Experience has already
been sufficient to indicate in what
kind of schools this vocational train
ing can be given. The circular cites
a number of types of schools, some
based on European models, others
on American practice, among them
the following.
The all-day vocational school,
"uSlS inc pupils CdH Speuu at JedSL
one year in all-day attendance; the
part-time schools, where boys and
girls regularly employed may come
for few hours each week; the
evening school in industry or agri-
culture, for persons over sixteen
years of age who work during the
day; and similar evening schools or
classes Oh household arts. 1t is sig
nificant that the six states that
have already set up systems of vo-
cational education-Massachu
New York, Connecticut, New Jersey,
Wisconsin, and Indiana-have long
had excellent schools. The newer
education which they are introduc.
ing is not intended to replace the
old, but to supplement it; to give
training for specific employment
in addition to the regular schooling,
so that the boys and girls may be.
more efficient and willing workers,
as well as better educated individu-
ais
