New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1915-09-29

In the course of conversation
with the writer, Mr.. Chas. Vogtel re-
marked that New Ulm is hardly taking
advantage Of the asset that it has
in it's band, and suggested that it would
be good idea if the city of New Ulm
would send it's band to neighboring
towns to give concert with the COM
pliments of the citizens of New Ulm.
We consider this a very good sugges-
ton and believe it should be tried out.
The easiest way to do this would be
for the city to hire the band for Is or
Is concerts instead of 10 and have
the band visit some of the neighboring
towns during the week. Public spirit
would always manage enough automo-
biles to take the band to the place where
it is going to give a concert and enough
of our citizens to 60 with the band to
let the people in our immediate vicinity
know that we appreciate the fact that
they are our neighbors.

A new building is being erected on
the Redwood Falls fair grounds at the
present time to house the school ex-
hibits of the various schools throughout
the county. Up-to-date all the schools
that have found it worth while to bring
exhibits to the Brown Co. Fair are the
Sleepy Eye schools. There is no reason
why the schools of the county should
not be represented at our annual fair.
What makes the erection of this building
of more significance than anything else
is the fact that it is being put up by the
various school districts of the county.
It is a grand cooperative movement.
There is no reason why the same thing
can not be done in Brown County. We
are convinced that Supt. R. B. Kennedy
of this city will do everything in his
power to induce the various school
districts in this county to make small
donations towards the erection of a
building on our fair grounds which
might be used exclusively for the purpose
of exhibiting the school work Of the
various schools in the county. This is
matter that should be taken up by the
Board of Directors of the Brown Co.
Agricultural Society at an early date and
thoroughly discussed.

Redwood Falls can certainly boast
of the beautiful park and the citizens
of that little burg have every reason
to be proud of it. The trip thru the
park by the New Uln boosters was a
hurried one and many of the beauti-
full spots were not seen. It is worth
anyone's time to spend at least a half
day to 60 thru it. It belongs to and is
maintained by the state of Minnesota.
Nature has been very kind to New
Ulm and we can also boast of some very
beautiful spots, but the trouble is that
they have not been made accessible
by driveways. Altho it may be out
of the question to get the state of Min
nesota to purchase any of this land
and convert it into park, nothing can
prevent the citizens of New Ulm from
determining the beauty spots in our
immediate neighborhood and buying
them up for future development. This
is something that should have been
done years ago, but it is never too late
to start in upon such commendable
work as this would be. Who will be
the first one to start the ball a-rolling
in this direction?

LIKED OUR MUSIC.

About one hundred New Ulm folks,
all on their second annual sociability
tour, took possession Of Franklin Thurs
day afternoon, arriving here over the
Black & Yellow trail from the west.
The company occupied twenty live cars.
A brief stop was made during which time
the Second Regiment band of New Ulm
favored the villagers with several of their
unrivaled musical selections. The ideal
autumn weather they enjoyed Thursday
must have made the one hundred mile
trip an extremely pleasurable one

pitfalls for the Insane the particular line
of endeavor seems to be fine needlework
and there were some exquisite specimens
of embroidery and lace. Fergus Falls
Hospital exhibited tatting, Anoka a
large crochetted bedspread among
other things; Rochester, knitted shawls
and baby outfits.
In the mems institutions, the Redwing
boys have a. splendid exhibit of fine
furniture and the other lines of industry
followed there are printing, laundering,
tailoring, blacksmithing, carpentry and
shoe making. The State Inebriate Asy-
lum at Walker sent specimens of inlay
work and needlework done by the women.
From the Walker Sanitarium was an
object lesson exhibit of the method of
caring for the consumptive as compared
with the old fashioned way. The
Hospital for Crippled Children located
at ST. Paul exhibited articles of clothing
made by the children and small pieces
of furniture, mats, etc. The Irvine
industry at the State Prison was graphi-
cally illustrated by an exhibit Of the
products and table showing the growth
of the output from 100000 pounds in
1891 to 81, $3.50, O35 pounds this year.
The exhibit for the study of Infant
Welfare and that of the National Child
Labor Committee also furnished material
for study, the latter particularly. They
showed graphically the cost OF child
labor to the nation in wrecked health.

OVERCOMING DIFFICULTIES

The exhibit of the various state insti-
buttons for the defective and dependent
shown at Turner Hall this week has been
of wonderful interest and has been
visited by large numbers OF people.
The question has been heard many
times in the last few days, IF the
children in these institutions could do
such work after they became defective
or delinquent what could not have been
done with them and for them had they
been taken in hand and properly directed
in their activities before they became
state wards?" 1t is indeed sad COM
mentary on the neglect of children who
are allowed to get into mischief when it
is quite possible to direct their minds
into useful channels in which they will
be so interested that they will have no
time for mischief making.
Fourteen institutions are represented
in the exhibit, and each has something
of special merit, while all have dupli-
Gated the others in specimens of fine
hand work. The State Public School
at Owatonna had an exhibit of cooking
that had been done by the pupils, all OF
whom are in the 7th grade or under and
some specimens Of useful sewing that
would surprise the average mother.
The school for girls at Sank Centre,
those girls whom society has found
doing everything that they ought not
to do and nothing that they should do
walking the streets and generally wasting
their young lives, has in some way best
known to those who work with the girls
succeeded in interesting them in fine
lace work and other artistic endeavors
They had some specially fine examples
of drawing to show.
At. the exhibit Of the Deaf School a
Faribault was to be seen table witt
an inlaid top containing 1000 pieces o
wood, all beautifully set together. The,
also exhibited shoes and the product o
the printing press. The feeble-mindet
had lovely booth showing work il
weaving. It was all hung with ham
mocks and other examples of rope work
Brushes were also one Of their products
Weaving was a speciality OF the exhibi
of the Blind, rugs, table covers in severa
colors, fringes and other articles wer
displayed together with baskets, fans
ETC., as samples of their work in basketry

STUDENTS VISIT EXHIBITS,

Monday was ''school day" at the
exhibits at Turner Hall. The work
of these state institutions is of such a
character that the school children pro-
fitted by the visit probably as much as
they would by the few minutes of school
work which they sacrificed. The high
school pupils were given the privilege
of attending at 1925 P. M. Monday,
after the last class was dismissed. The
grade pupils attended the exhibits in the
afternoon, each school going in turn,
under the direction of their teachers.

case in towns where they have no band

from every booster that the End regi-

WHERE ARE THE WOMEN?
Haven't you any women's clubs in this
city? Don't your women folks take any
interest in problems that concern the
children? And not a single New Ulm
woman answered. It remained for a
newcomer amongst us, young woman
most of us had never seen or heard of be-
fore, to manifest the only interest on the
part of women in the question of proper
play for the school girls and boys. And
she ended her little talk with question
that needs answering: What am l
going to do about this necessity in the
schools that is beyond my power to pro-
vide?" The question is: WHAT
WILL NEW ULM DO ABOUT IT..

To those of our citizens who have
never visited the fair grounds at Red
wood Falls it proved quite a revela-
ton to see the extensive and up-to-date
buildings that grace their fair grounds.
The buildings and the grand stand are
a miniature reproduction of the state
fair buildings in St. Paul. The Redwood
fairs have proven very successful ones
in the past years and the total receipts
of $4,000 is nothing abnormal. That is
the reason, no doubt, why it is possible
for the Fair Association to erect such
prominent and modern buildings on
their grounds. The reason that the
fairs have been such successes is not
far to seek. The Fair Association of Red
wood Falls has the hearty and earnest
support of the entire citizenship of Red
wood Falls and it is no trick there at all
to sell seven or eight hundred dollars
worth of season tickets to the home
people. New Ulm has been very I'M
fortunate in this respect. The Board
of Directors have been practically I'M
aided by the business interests of the
city and have plodded along and have
done the best that they could under
adverse circumstances. Not only did
they fail to get support but they have
also been forced to combat adverse
criticism and opposition. 1t seems to
us that the time is now right for all of
the citizens of New Ulm to work for a
larger and better fair, and if the proper
cooperative spirit is shown there is no
question about the Brown Co. Fair
equaling if not eclipsing the fairs OF
Redwood County. Now, all together
for a bigger and better fair this year
and the succeeding years.

TDELIGHTS- ON THE BOOSTER
TRIP.

Geo. Marti is accused of trying his
Eayel best to break into the journalistic
aeld. He carried with him a gigantic
Lad pencil foot long and an inch in
diameter. 1t is built on such generous
nes that it conveys the impression that

sAat reason George allowed the lead
aencl to rest in peace in his largest over
eDat pocket but he threatens to take it
salt some day and speak his mind with it
very freely. Hop to it George, there is
.sothing grander than welding the pen.
The most disappointed man on the
whole trip was Capt. Jos. Hofmeister.
rs had figured it out in his own mind
f.hat stay of hours at Redwood Falls
would give him ample opportunity to
show the citizens of that thriving burg
what real concert music is and for that
season he carried with him about ton
OF concert music. Because the boosters
were half hour late in reaching Redwood
Falls and the feeding of the hungry
animals took such a long time, Capt.
Hofmeister was unable to give the con-
saert as intended and he has not gotten
ssver his disappointment yet.
Billy Mather was on the job all the
same and everything moved along very

the whole trip was Franz Schneider.
