The well-dressed stranger stepped
into the drug store and, passing by
the boy who usually attended to casual
customers, approached the proprietor,
who was arranging some goods in the
show case.
"Mr. c., I presume?" he re-
marked, pleasantly, and the druggist
turned and boWed gravely. Il have
heard my friend, Mr.. Quorn, speak of
you Often" said the brisk man. HE
told me if ever l needed anything in
this line to come to you. He spoke of
you as a man on whom one could rely
with perfect confidence, who had only
the best OF evrything and with whom
it was always pleasure to DEAL"
"Mr. Quorn is very kind answered
the other, beaming with qualification.
He is one of by best customers. What
can do for you this morning?''
"Well-er-this morning, as it hap
pens," said the stranger, with just
little briskness, this morning should

your directory"
"Certainly," was the calm reply. 1--WE

TELLER FOUNDATION.
IS HARD TO LEAVE MINNESOTA
Or. Vincent In Statement for Press
Says People Of State Have Been
SinguIarIy Generous And
Friendly.

st. Paul.
DR.. George E. Vincent will leave
the presidency of the University
OF Minnesota to succeed John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., as president of the
Rockefeller Foundation, effective
May Is, 1917, it has been an.
nounced in New York. DR.. Vincent
has confirmed the statement. He will
leave statewide campus for a cam
pus that covers the world.
Mr.. Rockefeller will become chair
man Of the board Of trustees OF the
foundation his father established. Ac-
cording to the Foundations announce
ment, DR.. Vincent was chosen "be-
cause Of the enlarged scope of the
Foundations activities and the need
OF a man of wide experience who
could devote all his time to the work."
DR.. Vincent has been identified for
several years with the philanthropics
of the Foundation. He has been
president of the university a little
more than six years.
1T will be hard to leave Mime
sota,' said DR.. Vincent in a statement
for the press. "The University COM
munity, the Twin Cities, and the peo-
pie of the state have been singularly
generous and friendly. No university
executive could have had more favor
able conditions in which to work. II
1t were a question of call from an
other university, it would be easy to
decline. A summons, however, to have
some share in the development of
unique institution, to cooperate in
working out plans for the promotion
of human welfare at home and abroad,
appeals to ones Imagination. have
decided that must accept this invita-
tion."
For Schools Maintenance.
Either the tax rate for school main
tenance must be increased or there
must be such curtailment of expendi-
lures as will injure educational inter-
ests, according to the board of educa-
tons statement in it's legislative pro-
gram just issued. The program is pre-
sented in the form of a monograph,
entitled ''The Price of Progress the
third In the series of educational mon
ographs which the board authorized.
Probably neither of the alternatives,
the board states, will be accepted with
enthusiasm, generally, but "a choice
must be made and that choice the PEG.
pie must make" To enable them to
choose in the light of the complete
facts is given as the purpose of the
monograph.
1t points out that, even with the
greatest economy, the board of educa-
ton will have $4,000 deficit at the
end of this school year. In other
words, it will have had to borrow that
amount in excess of anticipated rev.
enues to operate the schools according
to present standards.
