for the novel purpose of discovering
how much good fellowship there was
in meeting together, now and then
as brothers.
In the democracy of play, in the
democracy of frank, fair discussion OF
public questions, they are finding out
these differing men from Belleville
that, as human beings, they're amaz-
ingly alike, once you get below the
surface.
And out of this agreeable discovery
will come, for Belleville, more toler-
ance, more kindness of feeling, more
give and take than it had ever known
before. Even when they shall differ
again-as, of course, they will often
dot won't be with as much bitter
ness, as much bigotry, as much mean
hate as of yore.
It's a wonderful solvent, is brother

PUBLIC SCHOOLS COST

Three and half million dollars
have been spent in building school
housese in Minnesota during the past
year, according to bulletin just is
sued by the department of education.
The total number of buildings erected
is 800, of which 115 have been erected
in cities and villages, and the remain
der in rural communities. In nearly
every county of the state new school
buildings have been built, and the bull
letin contains a classified list of
schools and the cost of each. The de-
sirable physical conditions relating to
buildings and sites are enumerated.
Some suggestions are given in regard
to planning of buildings and avoiding
mistakes of the past.
The bulletin calls attention to the
fact that the department of education
is now FURNISHING standard plans of
one and two-room schools and small
consolidated schools. These plans are
loaned to school districts free of
charge.
The bulletin is prepared by S. A.
Challman, commissioner of school
buildings of the state. This office
was established by virtue of an act
passed at the last session of the legis-
lature, which requires that the state
superintendent of education shall ap-
prove all plans and specifications of
public school buildings before con-
tracts are let.
Four school buildings have been
condemned as unfit for further use.
Two of these are rural schools, one in
LeSueur county and one in Rice coun-
ty. Two are four-room grade build
ings, one in Anoka and the other at
Odessa.
Twelve school house fires have been
reported during the year. The total
loss is estimated at $81, $3.50, with a
total insurance Of $55,380.

GASOLINE LAMP LET'S GO
Four Men Were Injured and Hotel
Wrecked by Explosion at Beard
sley Last Week.

Four men were badly burned and
every pane of glass in the hotel front
at the hotel at Beardsley blown out in
a gasoline lamp explosion which oc-
Cured Thursday evening of last week,
says the Morris Tribune. Among
those injured were the landlords son,
Elmos Smith, of Alexandria, and a
man named Burns whose home is said
to be at Graceville. Smith is we'll
known in this city. He is cigar sales
man and formerly lived at Glenwood.
He came here to have his injuries at
tended to by DR.. Fitzgerald, an old
| friend.
1t appears that Landlord Morrow
had some difficulties with his old lamp
and took it to the hardware store for
repairs. He received a large street
lamp in return, for temporary use. It
was suspended over the writing desk
in the hotel lobby where it burned for
three hours and then let go. Three
men were sitting under it at the time.
The landlords son was in an adjoining
room with an open door between. In
the explosion every pane of glass in
the lobby front was ripped out and in
the room adjoining went out sash and
all. Remnants of the lamp We're pick
ed up half block away. Smith was
burned about the face and hands and
his clothing was burned. Burns was
frightfully burned about the hands,
and the man in the adjoining room
suffered in having all the exposed
parts of his body burned. The fourth
man was only slightfully injured.
Smith rushed into the street where he
was successful in putting out the fire
in his hair. He says the room was a
sheet of flame as the fronts went out.
All the CALENDARS and pictured about
the walls of the lobby were burned.
The damage to the building will
amount to about $500, partly cover
ed by insurance. Since the explosion
the hotel has been closed.
The accident happened about 7:3O
o'clock. About a dozen men were in
the dining room. Ten minutes later
they would have been lounging in the
lobby. The train on which they arriv-
ed was late and this saved them.

AS 1T SHOULD BE.

In the school house in Belleville
Wis.,. few evenings ago, upon motor
of the Catholic priest, the Methodist
minister was elected as president OF
the community's social center club
for the coming winter. Then three
basket ball teams were formed, in
Guiding the priest, the minister, the
blacksmith, the editor, farmer, the
keeper of the village restaurant, a
dentist, a clothier, a teamsmter, a
druggist, a garage owner, a banker
the saloonkeeper, a hardware mer-
chant and a house painter.
They differed in religion, in poll
tics, in income, in social status, as
widely as men can differ. But in the
common school building, in the free
democracy of the social center, they
agreed to lay aside their differences

OF the Music Study club, and has sung
at their meetings and at various social
affairs from time to time. when she
was in the city, but a good many of
those who were guests at the musicale
last night heard her sing then for the
first time. She has q voice of remark
able power and brtlliance. dramatic
soprano, with qualities that proclaim
1t an unusual voice.
The first group Of songs contained
the numbers Life Down in the For
est" and Love 1 Have Won You," by
Landon Ronald. Mrs. Doster was en-
cored and was presented with bOu-
Quet of pink roses by the club. She
next sang the Bach-Gounod AVE Ma

cello piano and pipe organ, played by
Miss Gladys Cav. Miss Phoebe Gay
lord. Mrs. Harry Tasker and Mrs. w.
H. BOwlby. The song was sung in the
key in which it was originally written
for a high soprano voice. 1t is certainly
one Of the loveliest pieces Of religious
music ever written. and it Is admirably
suited to Mrs. Doster's voice and mode
OF singing. She sang an aria from
Debussy's "Prodigal Son. number

especially in these times when the new
er French masters are subjects OF both
critical and admiring attention. The

the group was composed by DIR. John
Cover especially for Mrs. Doster. DIR.
Cover was an old and close friend of
Mrs. Doster's people. who was particu-
larly interested in the promise he saw
in Mrs. Doster's voice. A striking feat
ure of excellence in her voice is the
evenness of its registers and the equal
developmnt Of its tones. She inter-
prets with taste and intelligence and
she has a personality that fmpresses
itself on her audience.
The program began with an organ
solo. Handlers Largo. played by Mrs.
w. III. Bowlby. Other numbers by
members Of the Music Study club were:
