A Reply to Mr.. Hanson's Letter.

TO The Voters of Kandiyohi County:
In answer to the letter from Mr. c. J.
Hanson which appeared in last weeks
issue Of the Tribune. I wish to state
that I wrote to Mr.. Hanson several
weeks ago, in answer to letter from
him regarding the proposed school legis-
lation. I wrote him that I was inclined
to favor the proposal because it, in my
opinion, afforded a more satisfactory
method Of selecting the county superin-
tendent, and at the same time, gave
better opportunity to compare schools
and bring them up to the same high
standard of efficiency.
did not mean to give the impression
that I favored the recommendation in
every way, and since the letter was
written, when my attention was called
to it, have had opportunity to further
study the matter and have come to the
conclusion that it provides for too great
a. change. Our common school system
is not perfect, and can stand a reorgan-
ization, but in doing this we must be
careful not to destroy government Of
the people, for the people and by the
people,. To altogether do away with
these local districts means taking away
from the people the right to decide what
they want and the opportunity for a
| community to do what it wants to do.
In emphasizing the use Of the school
| house as community center I have
| tried to impress upon the people the i'm
portance Of that side Of education which
deals with self-government. The prac-
tice obtained in farmers clubs and 9TH
er society meetings, has been held be-
fore the people as helpful to them in
preparing them to more intelligently
take part in government.
| am not in favor Of the recommends
ton as whole, and would vote against
it, If it came before the people today in
its present form.
However, this recommendation must
be acted upon by the legislature and sub.
mitted to the people for ratification Nc
one knows whether it will pass the leg.
islature, nor what form 1t will take
before being submitted to the people
nor when 1t will be submitted
Respectfully yours,
A. E. NELSON.

The Zone Of Greatness,

Says trenchant writer: Around
this globe is narrow zone between
the thirtieth and fiftieth parallels Of
north latitude, and within this belt of
power have existed all the great ma
tons of the past, and in it exist all the
great nations Of the present. 1t is true
that north Of his charmed circle, as we'll
as south Of it. have existed nations Of
wealth and power. but the peoples that
have given direction to the thought Of
mankind, that have created philosophy
for the race, that have given juris-
prudence and history and oratory and
poetry and art and science and gov
eminent and religion to mankind. have
been crowded within this zone of su-
premacy."-Christian Herald.

Returned from Norwav.

Mr.. Terje o. Kiland returned Monday
from a five months trip to Norway,
which he had taken in company with a
brother, Mr.. Aanon Kiland of Mime
apolis. They returned on the Kristian-
ford which sailed from Bergen Sept. 10
and arrived at New York Sept. %. The
trip was a stormy one. A British war
vessel stopped the ship outside of the
U. S. coast and searched the ship for
Germans. They found one who had
lived in Norway with his family thir-
teen years and took him to the warship
for examination. Finding that he was
past the age of war service by six
months he was released and brot back
to the liner. There is but little excite
ment over the war in Norway. When it
first broke out the popular impression
was that the allied powers would speedl-
lily crush Germany. The success Of the
German arms, however, has changed the
views Of the people considerable, and
many believe now that Germany will
win out in the end. The Kiland's visi-
ted at Brooklyn for a week before pro-
