Missionary Heroism

In a temp erature of 130 degrees he made coffins with his own hands and buried the dead that night by the flickering of a candle. Then he went quietly on with his work, never dreaming that he was doing a heroic thing"
 Hundreds of missionaries have faced hatred. persecution and disease with indomitable courage. When Judson was lying in foul jail in Burma. with thirty-two5 1nds of chains on his ankles and his feet bound to a bamboo pole, a fellow prisoner sneeringly asked: 'Dr. Judson, what about the pros pect of the conversion of the heathen? Judson calmly answered: The prospects are just as bright as the promises of God. Canon Taylor Smith of Sierra Leone, in England on furlough in 1896. was warned of the risk which he ran in going

 The election was held at the City Hall and "early in the day" there was a considerable show of friction. It seems that Judge Jas. M. Dickson contended that the election should be held ac- cording to the law and when a man came in whose name was was not on the last printed list of legalized voters or who could not show poll tax as provided for by law, MT. Dickson challenged the vote. But this challenging by Dickson did no good as there were two other Judges and they said let the man vote" and he voted.
 One man came in from away out about the "coal chute" to vote and when MT. Dickson asked him for his poll tax he said it was at home and it was agreed that he should go get it. Said MT. Dickson as this man walked out one of the other Judges remarked that 1 ought not to make fellow walk way to the coal chute to get his poll tax. I remarked that he wouldn't have to go so far for a tax receipt, and sure enough in less than five minutes that same man was back with a freshly written tax receipt issued March 9th with the ink scarcely dry on the paper, and said as he pre- sented it. and his vote was registered over my protest, T turned over brick and found this."

ment has been created by which
country districts might affiliate
with central school and earn an
addition of $50 for each of the
associated districts.
In 1911 an alternative was given
of 81 900 grant for any school
that carried an agricultural course
with either manual training or
domestic economies. At the last
session this was increased to $500.
Since 1905 the state has been
giving $3.50 to high schools that
will help train teachers, increasing
the allowance to 81, 900 at the last
session.
These items reach the respect
able sum of 81, 100000 this year
and So. 100000 next year. There
is perhaps no appropriation by the
state that is more widely approved.
There is no other single item near
ly as large, no other that is grow
ing so rapidly from the timid
$40, 900 year in 81. from the de-
precating $40. 900 addition in '95
to the present magnificent stream
of state aid. Nobody has been
heard to suggest that the amount
should be diminished. The ques-
ton before the house is rather-is
there any way in which the expen-
diture of this sum can be made
more effective?

Offering Transportation

All subjects of Austria Hungary
are being urged to return to their
native country, and the government
is so anxious to get them back that
free transportation is being offered
through Edgar Prechnik, Austrian
Hungarian consul at st. Paul.
A notice was published in last
weeks issue of a Croatian paper to
the following effect: Notice to
all subjects of Auss ia-Hungary.
The Austrian government is in re-
ceipt of information TO the effect
that employment is unsteady, con-
ditions are undesirable and wages
are low in certain portions of the
United States. where its subjects
are largely congregated. The
Creation minister has requested
that all subjects return to their
homes.
The Austria-Hungary govern
ment announces that all its subjects
by applying to the Austrian consul
at St. Paul will be given free trans
portation to their home towns.
This call applies to all subjects in
Minnesota, North and South
Dakota, Michigan and in Ashland !,
Bayfield,. Douglas and Iron counties
in Wisconsin.
A prominent Croatian stated that
the abundance of officials and lack
of laborers in his native country
was probably the real reason for
the call.

not encourage the common schools
they were doing much worse
work than the high schools and
needed all the incentive there was
for improvement. Moved by this
argument, the state appropriated
$4,000 year to allot $500 each to
the common schools that were
doing a little more than absolute
necessity required. Four years
later the same arguments were
adopted with regard to rural schools
and the legislature was moved to
allow $50 year to every country
school doing little better than it
actually had to, to the amount OF
$35, 900 year in all.
At the same session the laws for
state aid were for the first time
codi6ed-the schools were classified
requirements were set up which
they must meet to qualify for state
aid, and the allowances were in
creased to maximum of $500 for
high schools. 5000 for graded
schools, 500 for semi-graded
and SIS for rural schools. Two
years later the legislature thought
they were not doing enough for
the schools high school award
was increased to 81, 900, the grad
ed school to $500, the semi graded
to 5000 and the rural to 500.
The total allowance that year was
$685. and the state loudly ap-
plauded this magnificent liberality.
In 1908 it appeared to the legis-
lature that 81 900 was not sufficient
to encourage the high school to do
everything that public enthusiasm
in behalf of education would urge,
and it was agreed that a very good
high school should have $500 a
year.
Beginning at the next session in
1905, a great movement swept over
the state for making the schools
useful, as never before. The first
grant of $4,000 for county schools
of agriculture proposed a bold
scheme which seems never to have
been carried out. The habit in
Minnesota has been to develop the
district school rather than to create
county institutions. So in 1909
the legislature allowed that any
school, either high school, or grad
ed school, or consolidated school.
on the state list, which would set
up agriculture, manual training
and domestic economy, might be
reimbursed for two-thirds of its
outlay up to $4,000 a year. At
first only ten schools were to be
admitted. twenty-five thousand
dollars was sufficient for the first
two years. Since then the arrang-

MUCH MONEY
Minnesota Donates 100000 This
Year to Schools

This year Minnesota is distribut-
ing close to 81 500, 900 as aid to its
public schools. In 1915 the total
will just nick the 81 900, 900 notch.
This is in addition to 81 900, 900 or
so for the university and something
over 81 900, 900 distributed through
the generel school fund. This 81 :
100000 or 81 900, 600 is where the
state puts its hand in it's pocket
and gives ST. 200 year here for
good high school. $3.50 in the next
village for good graded school,
and 81, where agriculture,
manual training and domestic
economy are taught, and 81 900
where the high school does some
thing to train teachers for the
country schools, and $3.50 where a
graded school runs part of the high
school course, and various sums
from SIS to $12O for the little red
schoolhouse, and from $3.50 to
81, 500 for the consolidated rural
school.
These items are doing some par
ticular work, or for encouraging
higher standards, come to 81 $780,
600 this year and close to So, 0OO,-
600 next year.
In thirty years this magnificent
donation toward education has
grown from small beginnings. In
1881 the university was first emerg-
ed from chaos, it occurred to some
of the statesmen that if the state
was going to run university, it
must make some provision for fit
ting the children for the university
and so an act was passed to encour-
age higher education. 1t created a
high school board composed of the
governor, the superintendent of
education and the president of the
university, and instructed them to
go ont and visit the high schools in
the state-if they did not have
time to go to all of them they
could hire some competent person
and each high school that was
doing good work was to have $500.
The appropriation allowed $4,000
for this purpose. That was all for
nearly fifteen years.
In 1895 some educators raised
the question why should high
schools alone be encouraged; why

that for 1910 in December of 1909,
that for 1909 in May of the same

quiet which prevails in pig. iron

if the record of 1908 is repeated.
At the present time, there is no
interest in the ore market and the
only approach to making reserva-
tons has been most informal con-
versation. Furnace men expect a
reduction of SO cents below last
years prices and that reduction
will no doubt be granted unless
there is material improvement in
conditions before the buying move
