of any other in the Union in it's provisions
for the schools and other public institutions
of the state. So prominent is this contrast
that the Youths Companion, known through
out the world for its conservative state
ments and reliability, says:
"Most of the states to which the national
government has made large grants of land
find little satisfaction in telling how they
have disposed of it. To this rule Minnesota
is a notable exception, and the story of it's
public lands is both rebuke to other states
that have squandered their valuable grants
and lesson to the states that still have nat
ural resources worth preserving.
"While other states were selling their pub
lie lands for dollar or so an acre and using
the money for current expenses, Minnesota
was selling the land itself for agricultural
purposes for SIS an acre; it put the total pro-
ceeds into permanent fund for the benefit
of it's schools and of it's charitable and penal
institutions. The fund now amounts to 1884,
100000 and gives Minnesota larger school
fund than that of any other state in the I'm
ion. Four reighboring states, to which the
national government was not less generous
funds of only $16OOO,OOO.
Moreover, Minnesota still owns 100000
acres, mai1.ly in the timber district, and from
the sale of timber and of the land to the set
tiers of the state will double it's present per-
manent fund before many years have passed.
More important still, it owns 100000 acres of
land in which there are rich deposits of iron.
The state has leased the iron ore land for
long periods at advantageous terms. The
land has already yielded 100000, and I'M
der the present contracts it will yield about
S15O,OOOOO0 in the next generation. Thus,
by 1850, Minnesota expects to have a perma-
nent fund of fully $500, 100000 which will
yield at four per cent, $8,OOO,OOO year for
its Schools and other public institutions.
"The care of this fund is an important
part of the business of the state government,
which acts in the capacity of trustee Of
the present fund of $34,OOOOOO about ST.
100000 is invested in the bonds of other
states, 10000 has been lent to counties,
cities and townships within the state, and
the rest, drawing interest at per cent, is
in contracts of sale for farming lands
Minnesota deserves the heartiest congrat-
ulatiOns of the other states for the far sight,
ed wisdom Of it's early lawmakers, and for
the fidelity with which it's officials of later
years have guarded their trust. Such
splendid record of efficiency and honesty
gives new heart to those who are working
for the welfare of states that have been less
thriftV"

Work of Mutual Culture Club
on School Campus

Happy hearts and happy faces,
Happy play in grassy places;
That was how in ancient ages,
Children grew to kings and sages.
More than two years ago plans
were formed by the club to help
beautify the public school cam
pus. It was from suggestion OF
Mrs. j. G. Windham. who came
to Tupelo from Canton. where
she was a member of a large
civic league. that the interests
of the club were centered on the
school campus. No better place
could have been chosen, since
this is the common meeting
ground of the boys and girls OF
the entire community. 1t would
be hard to find a prettier campus
in the state. With its giant oaks,
it is naturally pretty, and with
plots of grass and flower beds it
can be made beautiful.
Upon the advice OF the school
authorities the work of the club
was postponed until the grounds
were graded. Recentlythe city
has graded the campus and this
work has added immensely to
the appearance of the place.
Work on the flower beds has
started.
Following is a report of the
work that has been accomplished
by the club in their efforts to
beautify the public school cam
