ASSEMBLYMEN HAVE
HEATED ARGUMENT

CARSON CITY, March 1.-The "lie
direct" was passed in the assembly
this morning by Pitt, of Humboldt, to
Friedhoff, of Lyon, during a heated
discussion on a motion to send the
tax commission bill to the committee
On internal improvements in prefer
ence to the committee on ways and
means.
During his remarks Friedhoff made
the assertion that Pitt would sell his
body and soul" to defeat the tax COM
mission bill. For this reason, Fried
hoff said, he did not think 1t wise to
send the bill to the ways and means
committee, of which Pitt Is chairman,
because he believed there would be an
attempt to hold the bill 10 days and
then hlibuster 1t to death.
ANY person who says I would sell
my body and soul for anything is an
unmitigated liar" replied Pitt, who
added that he would use every honor
able method to pass useful legislation.
He denied that he was opposed to the
present tax commission bill.
The progress of legislation had been
hampered and was being hampered by
the presence Of lobbyists, Pitt declared
most of whom, he charged were state
officials or members of state commits
sions. Friedhoff's remarks, he said,
were inspired by these lobbyists. and
in conclusion he declared that he was
in favor of Legislation that would weed
out these parasites. During the dis
cussion which was becoming general a
motion to recess till this afternoon
was made and on roll-call was car
ried, the vote being rs to "a, leaving
the motion to refer the bill to COM
mittee open for further discussion this
afternoon.

WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS

This county is organizing itself
into an important factor in the
work of the Minnesota Public
Health Association. The mem
bers of the association here have
declared war on tuberculosis and
are enlisting the aid of a big army
of volunteers, one of the objects
of which will be to make the
ratio of membership in the asso-
citation compared with the pre-
ventable deaths chargelble to
our county greater than that in
any other county.
Securing membership in the
Minnesota Public Health Associ-
ton is a simple matter. 1t means
merely the paying of the
membership fee, or selling Red
Cross Christmas Seals, which
were on the market Thanksgiving
Day and for which Mrs. H. G..
Hansen is manager in this county.
The seal sale will last until
New Years Day, so that there is
plenty of time for every public
spirited man and woman in the
county to earn a membership in
the Public Health Association.

WHY you HANG STOCKINGS
Popular Christmas Custom Said to
Have Come Down to Us From
Old italian Practice.

There is story from Italy which
some suppose to be the beginning of
the present idea of the Christmas
stocking. Years ago good old st,
Nicholas of Padua used to throw
knitted purses with money in them in
at the windows of the poor These
knitted purses We're not unlike q
stocking without a foot, and later II
became the custom OF the people to
hang this knitted sack Just inside the
window that st. Nicholas might nut
something in as he passed. When
these purses went out of use the
stockings were substituted. In the
northern part of italy it was a little
too chilly to leave the windows omen
and the stockings were hung by the
n:antei place so that they might be
filled trom the chimney

Danish-American
Folk-Highschool

The following article is written
by Rev. Aage Moller. He read
the paper at a Chautauqua in the
East and was requested to pub
lish his remarks. Many of our
readers will undoubtedly be
pleased to read it. 1t viii be
printed in two installments.
II is the purpose of this paper
to name some of the main points
in the work Of the Danish Ameri-
can Folk Highschool.
Let it be said from the begin
ming that the Danish American
Folk-Highschool is the offspring
Of the Folk Highschool Of Den
markan estimable offspring it is
to be hoped~--somewhat different
but essentially the same. The diff
ference lies in the fact that the
Folk -Highsehool Of America has
been transplanted; this has
marked her. but she is gradually
being aeelimatized and beginning
to feel great desire to serve her
new home. She is anxious to be Il
factor in the production of ener-
getic, ambitious, and capable
American citizens.
But as yet only few have been
willing to recognize the Folk
Hhghschool AS such a factor. She
is battling her way~~~has been
since she came to this country. 1t
is 3S years since the first school
OF this kind was started in the
Il. s. And from the very first
day her path has been an undulat,
ing one. At the present time her
prospects are not promising. 1t is
only a small number of Ameri.
cans, even Danish Americans who
have confidence i'm the school.
The people are always suspi
1 cious Of an undertaking which
does not succeed at once. ! want
to emphasize the fact, that be
cause the Folk -Highschool has
failed to acquire reputable po
sition IN aS years, is not saying
she will continue TO fail.
Truth. spiritual and intellect
nal, have often struggled years
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1915-12-16

for all. To begin with it was
asked, why should boys and girls,
who do not wish to become pro
fessors, attend a higher SCHOOL,
An enlightened, an able, an
energetic, and spiritual minded
people is the aim of the Folk
HighSchool. 1t is not the wish OF
the school to help to divide the
American people into two classes,
one highly educated and indie
pendent, and another entirely ig-
norant and Indifferent.
1t has not quite been possible to
make men believe that a school
has mission, which is willing to
take in any young person, ignor-
ant or educated, any one who does
not care to study for Il position
but who Graves some learning.
1t is too unusual. 1t is always
easier to make them have conf.
dence i'll common things.
Some are also afraid that the
school is too Lutheran, and some
mistrust it because it has no eapi-
tai Of ANY kind to back it, and be.
cause its buildings are incon-
spleuous.
The Folk -Highschool has
crossed out everything pretend
ing to examinations, because it is
school of the people, 1t has con
fidence in the people for which
it lives and to Use conpulsion is
not to have confidence. Person
ality and intellectual and spirit
ual freedom of the individual is
what it counts on.
1t is not the aim of the school
to fill the young people With q
certain amount of knowledge and
then give them a certificate to
testify they have the knowledge
but it's aim is TO awaken every
spiritual force which livesin every
human heart. III it succeeds il
stirring that force it has reached
it's aim. Because of this the ad,
mission to the Folk ~Highsehool is
as free as that of the church. We
do not ask how much knowledge
the student has. The young PEG.
pie can come from the age of Ii
to 35. Some have some knowl.
edge, others can scarcely read
and write. But the school does
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1915-12-16

not care what the student knows.
1t is the aspiration Of the indi-
vidual it is interested in. Meth
err do we ask that the student
stay a certain time. Our courses
last three months. We have the
men at one time and the women
at another. Not that we are
afraid of the boys and girls be
ing together, but experience has
shown that during the short term
the men can far better give them
selves up to the work in the
school term when women are not
found there; the same being true
with the women when the men
are not there.
Then we also have the practical
reason that a farmer can seldom
do without his boys and girls at
one time.
We make our course short be-
cause men and women who work
with the hands seldom find ii
possible TO stay away from their
work year or more at a time.
ANY one is able to use three
months of the year for schooling.
The same person may attend the
school two successive terms. and
many do return two or three
times.
The things the man and woman
should get while they are at the
school is u feeling that they are
a part of the people.
We try to make them feel that
they belong to the nation, and
that each individual also has a
flght TO partake III his country 5
fight for all that is good and true ;
he has right to be Il servant.
And he does not need to sink to
that miserable state of indiffer-
ence and loneliness TO which he,
who has learned to think of self
enly, sinks.
We try TO live life in common
folk life--at the school from the
first day, Students, teachers and
servants live in the same build
ing, they take their meals in a
common dining room. and have
a common living room. The
school tries to be a home. and he
is most highly respected in the
home who feels the deepest re-

and years before they were ac-

and years before they were ac-
cepted as such.
The school must win For |
believe it has it's work to do in
this country. 1t is well-known
that social and spiritual awak.
ening has been in progress among
the Danish people during the last
80 years. Every Danish thinking
man gratefully acknowledges the
Folk -Highschool's work in bring
ing on the awakening. Who
knows but what the American
people will some day have to pay
respects to the American Folk
lIighschool for similar work.
The American nation in these
times of turbulence and stress is
looking for help from her schools
She is looking to some of her
many kinds of schools to solve
the national question; but just
how its school from which help is
expected is to be, is an open
question. | ann sure some help
could be had from the High
schools. Maybe it is impossible
to make it work as it has done
in Denmark. Maybe it must un,
dergo great changes, but that
makes no difference if the essen
tial characteristics are kept.
What are the peculiarities OF
the Folk .Highschools9 One peeu.
llarity is that it is established
among the people. 1t is its aim
20 reach the common people.
1t is not child's school, but a
school for young men and women
who are beginning to think for
themselves.
1t cannot be disputed that our
schools of higher education are
accessible only to "A few who have
financial means or desire to
