for public schools are being studied
by Nathan C. Schaeffer, state super
intendent of education of Pennsylva-

Minnesota state superintendent of
education. Mr.. Schaeffer visited st.

the large permanent school fund of
Minnesota and praised the rural
schools of the state.
Our state school fund is distributed
by enumeration instead of attend
ance, as here in Minnesota" he said
Your plan requires actual attend
ance at the schools, which / consider
splendid. The Minnesota system is
very efficient in raising the standard
of rural schools"
Mr.. Schaeffer is planning to request

Fire insurance rates are the same
IN every part of Minnesota for the
hrst time, following the order of Sam
uel ID. Works, state insurance COM
missioner. Rates which have pre-
vailed in southern Minnesota are to
be applied in northern and northeast
ern Minnesota, where formerly they
were much higher. In some instances,
a d1fferential of 40 per cent is abol-
lshed by Mr.. Works order.
The ruling by Mr.. Works directed
the General Inspection company Of
Minneapolis, which makes rates for
the state, to govern it's rate-making
accordingly. The action came after
Mr.. Works had had several confer
ences with Walter 1. Fisher, manager
OF the company, and with underwrit-
ers of fire insurance.
In the order, Mr.. Works says the
contention of the bureau for main
tanning the old rates is untenable.
The state has been divided into
three sections by the insurance COM
panies. The southern section COM
prlses all territory south of Minneap-
oils and st. Paul and the Great North
ern railroad to Breckenridge. The
northern district includes all territory
north of this with the exception Of
that in the northeastern part of the
state, including st. Louis and Isanti
counties, which comprises the north
eastern section. Rates in the north
ern section were higher than in the
southern section, while in the north
eastern, the highest rates of all pre-
vailed
