CHAPTER w.

Rhoda did not see her Aunt Mill
cent until the next morning. Her
aunt sent down to say that her head
was aching, and that she could not
see Rhoda that evening.
II gave her fancy picture OF
you, Rhoda. yesterday" said Molly,
when the message came. You were
to be short and pale and very fright
ened looking. Aunt Millicent is pre-
pared to find you very dull and tire
some"
"Rhoda will not see much of her
aunt" saii Mrs. Dering, who was
sitting knitting by the fire. "She
will have plenty Of occupation with
your French and music, and 1 shall
want her help in many ways"
Don't be sorry, Rhoda." laughed
Molly; II am a nicer companion than
Aunt Millicent.'
When Rhoda accompanied Stan
ton, who had been sent to fetch her,
to Aunt Millicent's room, Miss Der
ing was dressed and sitting by the
hre.
"Sit down here, Rhoda. and let
me look at you!" she said, after
kissing her.
Rhoda sat down opposite to her
aunt AID submitted herself to the
close scrutiny of Miss Dering's keen
dark eyes.
do you know that you are very
beautiful" said Miss Dering after a
moment or two.
II have never thought about 1t at
ALL" answered Rhoda inditferently.
II was like you once" said Miss
Dsring. You are like the ghost of
my dead youth. Rheda. Look at me
now!"
Her aunt's words were so utterly
different from what Molly's descrip-
had led her to expect that Rhoda
could not speak.
"a painted. hideous. haggard old
woman!" Miss Dering went on.
Look at me-" She got up and
pushed back the curtain, letting the
cold clear light fall upon her hag-
gard face. You do not speak.
Rhoda. You have heard that I am
vain-a foolish old woman. I know
how they talk of me downstairs!"
Rhoda rose and drew forward the
curtain again with firm hand
Aunt Millicent, I am not going
to answer you while you talk like
this. Sit down again by the fire."
Miss Dering looked at her niece
with those haggard dark eyes that
were so like her fathers.
you are as l was" she said.
"Come here, Rhoda."
She drew the girl quickly to the
other side OF the room. A curtain
hung there. and she drew 1t back.

In her heart; there was nothing but
deep pity now as she looked at the
worn miserable face OF the desolate
woman. Miss Dering let the curtain
fall and took Rhoda's hand in hers.

The federal government still holds
IA per cent of the undeveloped water
power sites in the country. AS it is
estimated that there are 26,O00,OOO
horsepower yet undeveloped, the gov
eminent has a great opportunity to
make this enormous resource of bene-
fit to the people. In Sweden the
government is beginning to make use
of the enormous water power Of that
country for the benefit of the people
and have erected number of water
driven electric light and power sta
tions that supply surrounding towns
and farms with electric current, and
even export current to Denmark. If
our government claims monopoly of
the water power Of the country, it is
nothing but fair that it develops same
and makes the latent energy available
for private enterprise.

Make School Fund Z Guarantee Of
Opportunity to Every Child, Says
The Education Commission.

One way and another the state
spends between $4,000, 600 and 81
100000 a year on education The
people, through the school districts,
spend perhaps s12,O0O,O0O more. The
total bill for public schools and other
public education is close to $4,000
600 a year.
The state supports the university
and normals, and the schools for deaf
and blind, and contributes in three
| ways to local school districts. The
first is the income Of trust funds
amounting now to $1,O00,000 a year.
The second is the proceeds Of the
! mill state tax amounting to more
than S1,25O,O00 a year. The third
| is special state aid amounting to 3d.
100000 a year, to schools that fur
nish special facilities or come above
the minimum requirements.
The permanent school fund is now
Approximately S25,OOG,OOO. 1t comes
from the sale of state school lands,
from the timber on school lands,
| and the royalty on iron ore on school
lands. It is estimated that it will
eventually reach S10O,0O0,0OO; it may
run anywhere from that to $500, 000,-.
900.
| The constitution says this income
must be apportioned according to the
number of scholars. The legislature
has said that a scholar is one who
has attended school at least forty
days, ina district that has kept school
open at least five months
The education commission does not
propose to change the constitution.
! Let the income of the trust fund be
distributed on per capita basis. The
commission would change the require
ment. It proposes that to qualify
for apportionment, the pupil must at
tend school one hundred days TWEEN
ty weeks instead Of eight.
The state believes in giving every
. child common school education. To
adopt the hundred-day rule would be
equivalent to saying that a child can
| hardly get common school education
unless he attends twenty weeks in the
year. The state is not interested in
| dabbling at an education.
Improve your schools, the state will
say to the districts, and you shall
have more from other funds. Keep
your school open FIVE months at least
and for every child that puts in that
much time in school you shall share
in this trust fund.
| If you are not interested to that
extent, the state will say, then the
! state is not interested in your school.
