Snow Blockade Aids Yeggmen.

Sherburn Advance Standard:-A
lone yeggman took advantage Of
the conditions made by the storm
last Thursday and robbed several
places of business in Huntington,
Iowa, the second station south Of
Sherburn on the st. Louis railroad
The citizens of the village were un-
aware of the robbers activities until
the next morning when they discov-
cred the loss.
1t was then found that the postof-
fee safe had been blown and about
500 of the government funds taken.
The general store, lumber yard and
depot had also been visited by the
robber and a small amount of booty
obtained in each place. His haul
probably Melted him around 5000.
No clues other than tracks in the
snow which led to Esterville have
been discovered. After he reached
that place all trace was lost.

and Stevens county as the Vincent
Home Day"
Supt. Grafelman introduced DR..
Christensen of Starbuck, as a man
to whom many of those present
owed their lives. DR.. Christensen
in a brief address told how he had
desired a consolidated rural school
and teachers home at Starbuck for
a long time, but believed the time
was almost ripe" for his home town
to adopt the Alberta idea. 1.-THE
public schools are just beginning to
offer a little practical education, "
continued Dr. Christensen. For
1000 years only the aristocracy have
been permitted an education. Only
10 per cent of the school children of
the United States reach high school.
If, therefore, nine out of every ten
children receive their education in
the grades, it is quite evident that
more practical education should be
given in the grades. The speaker
suggested that nothing more useful
could be added to the school cur
ricula than practical subjects.

Mrs. Vincent was introduced by
Supt. Grafelman as the first speaker
Of the afternoon. After mentioning
the deep interest the Vincent fam
lily had always felt in the develop
ment of the Alberta schools, Mrs.
Vincent told of the wide difference
Of purpose and community service
between the Alberta teachers home
and of a teachers home in Guate-
maIa, Central America, that she Wis
fled four years ago. Mrs. Vincent
and her party stopped over night at
the Guatemala teachers manse and
found that the school was the CEN
ter of home industry. The teachers
made and sold clothing, cakes and
bread, butchered and sold meat. But
all of this work was for personal
benefit and not once was the benefit
that the community might receive
10 is because the Alberta home and
schools have been established for
community service that the praises
of the Alberta home will be known
thruout the nation and just as in
versely true that the Guatamalan
teachers home will never become
known" said Mrs. Vincent in con-
CIusion.
Supt. Schulz spoke few words al
this time, describing the event as q
ssachool home day for Alberta
'rYou are doing many things in Al.
berta today he said. You are
defeating a teachers home and yol
are asking the entire community tt
snare with you in the joy and pride
oS such an achievement. Toda!

."Up to this time boys and girls
in the rural districts have not had
the educational advantages of city
children. The State of Minnesota
is wiping out this condition by es-
tablishing consolidated rural schools.
My friends you know that the word
home signifies everything that is
dearest to us, our hopes and amb1-
tons. We are defeating today in
Alberta a home for teachers, the
first of the kind in the nation. Citi-
lens of Alberta you are pioneers in
rural education, you are today IN
the eyes of the world. But you
could not have erected this splendid
manse alone. You have done 1t be
cause President George E.. Vincent
Of the University of Minnesota stood
by. Therefore; 1 propose, with your
approval, to name this teachers
home for today and ever after, the
Vincent Home" 1t was with these
words that C. G. Schulz, state sup
erintendent of education, formally
dedicated the new Vincent Home for
the teachers of the Alberta COnsol-
fdated Schools, Friday
Alberta solved the problem of OBJ
tanning and retaining first class
teachers in consolidated rural schools
when the new $1,000 teachers home
was dedicated in the presence of
President and Mrs. Vincent and
daughter, Elizabeth, Superintendent
Schulz, the citizens Of Alberta and
large delegations from every COM
munity of Stevens county. The
Morris agricultural school faculty,
students and band were there en-
masse to obtain an enlarged vision
of Alberta's achievements as a
model rural community center and
to carry back to their respective
communities.
The Vincents, Supt. Schulz and
DR.. G.. r. Christensen of Starbuck,
the principal speakers for the spec
tally arranged program of the day,
arrived about 10 a. m. The time
before luncheon was spent inspect
ing the consolidated school and the
new manse, which is only few
yards distant A five course ban
quet was given in honor OF the
speakers at IL a. m. in the basement
of the new home. Superintendent
Grafelman was the POSTMASTER and
the following persons responded to
toasts: L. P. Norby, president of
the Alberta Commercial Club; Mrs.
W. Peterson, president of the AL
berta Women's Club; Carl Henrick-
sen, president of the board of edu-
cation; Miss Ada Decker, instructor
of home economies; Supt. Schulz;
DR.. and Mrs. Vincent and DR.,
Christensen.
The afternoon exercises, the prin-
c1pal event of the day, were held in
the auditorium of the consolidated
school. There was not sufficient
room in the large room to seat the
large crowd and many late corners
were obliged to stand in the hall
way outside.

in the course of about ten years will
refund the district the amount that
was originally invested by the tax
payers"
One-third of the expense of the
teachers home should be charged to
the expenses of the consolidated
school is the opinion Of DR.. Vincent.
The domestic science department oc-
cupies one-third of the space and
will probably use the same proper
ton of heat and light, and these
figures should be taken into con-
sideratiOn.
In his. concluding remarks DR..
Vincent congratulated the citizens
for their pioneer work in rural edu-
cation and their adapting the scI.ool
to the life of the community. ne
also praised the work of the Women's
club and the Commercial club of
Alberta toward procuring the home.
DR.. Vincent said he would take the
maintenance figures and use them as
examples in furthering the gifts of

alberta schools have been the
model of rural communities for sew
eral years, but with the dedicating
of teachers home, the first of it's
kind in America, Alberta will be
known from one end of the country
to the other" said DR.. Vincent.
''They have become so because Supt.
Fred Graffelman has been a man
with ideas, and has never ceased
trying to achieve his plans for bet
ter school system here. A second
reason is because of the cooperation
he received from this community.
"The construction of the new home
has not only provided a manse for
your instructors but it has added
greatly to the school equipment, by
the model dining rooms the cafeteria
and the domestic science rooms in
the basement"
cit is imperative that the manse
must be run on an economic basis, -
continued DR.. Vincent. 1.-THE great
desirability Of a teachers home is
due to the fact that modern convent
ences can be offered to high class in
structors at minimum figure. The
first month has more than proved the
worth of the new home. The teach
ers and Supt. Graffelman moved into
their new residence January 8, 1917
and have been able to meet all ex.
penses safely at a charge of $50
This amount covered all Of the liv.
ing expenses OF the faculty. The
gross income that the home is pro,
ducing is $3.50 annually. This
should provide a sinking fund that

Killed When Sleigh Tipped

Long Prairie Leader: Mrs. John
Pfaff residing near Grey Eagle was
instantly killed Saturday evening
Feb. 10, when a loaded sled upon
which she was riding tipped over.
During the blizzard which ragged
that day Mr.. and Mrs. Pfaff had
gone to Freeport to get load of
feed. The roads were badly drift
ed which compelled them to go thru
a barn yard. The sled upset, throw
ing both Mr.. and Mrs. Pfaff under
the feed. Mrs. Pfaff's neck was
broken and she was instantly killed.
Her husband was unable to get
out from under and when found was
almost exhausted from the cold and
from his struggles.
Mr.. Pfaff resides on the Theodore
Fierabend farm five miles east of
Grey Eagle. He purchased this
farm last spring.
Mrs. Pfaff is survived by five chill
dren, the oldest being fourteen years.
She was thirty-eight years of age
and woman much esteemed in this
community. The bereaved husband
and the children have the sympathy
of the entire community.

Because the Vincents we're obliged
to leave on the afternoon train, the
previous speakers had curtailed
their addresses, in order to allow
more time for DR.. Vincent to speak.
DR.. Vincent received a hearty ova-
ton as he came upon the platform.

here, asked one of the citizens of
this city whether Alberta, which has
such fine schools, could build a
teachers home" said President Vim
cent, "but received a rather doubt

within the coming two years. A bull

Two excellent musical numbers
were rendered during the exercises
of the afternoon. The boys and girls
glee clubs of the school Miss Olson
of the school faculty gave a charm
ing piano rendition of Fra Diabalo.' -
Both musical numbers were very we'll
received.
After the program in the school
auditorium the formal dedicatory
services were held by Supt. Schultz
in front of the manse. Prior to
Supt. Schulz's dedicatory speech
Supt. Higbie of the University farm
school at Norris spoke a few words
Of praise for the new addition to the
Alberta schools and extended the CO.
operation of the Agricultural school.
The University farm school band
and more than $50 students from
the school accompanied Supt. Hig-
bic to Alberta.
The new manSe was then thrown
open to the visitors and some very
delicious frappe and cakes was serv-
ed to everyone by the home ecOnOm-
les department. The Vincents, Supt.
Schulz and DR.. Christensen left on
