"A SCHOOL REVELATION

Citizens of Minnesota should take notice
OF report presented to the Minnesota
Education Association exposing defecst in
the system Of raising and spending school
funds in this state. It was prepared by
Fletcher H. Swift, professor in the Uni
versity Of Minnesota, and Frances Kelley
Del. PLANE, after exhaustive investigation
of the subject It recommends adjustment
of the school district and substitution of
the county as the unit Of educational
work, including financing.
Nearly go per cent of all Minnesota
school funds is raised by the districts in
which the money is spent. The greatest in
equality exists between: rural counties and
between districts in the same county in
their school tax rates. which often bears
little relation to their comparative ability
to pay such taxes It is not surprising to
discover that the tax rates generally, but
not always are lowest il: the richest rural
counties, but it is amazing that some Of
the richest counties spend the least and
some Of the poorest spend the most per
school child. It is evident that there is a
variation in the values placed on education,
iii different places.
The report states that Murray county,
which stands second only to st. Louis in the
amount Of it's taxable wealth per school
child, spends $104 annually per child for
education, while Hubbard county which
has tie least proportionate wealth of any
Of the eighty six counties spends $124.
Sibley, county with more than three times
the relative wealth of Hubbard, spends
only $79 per child. The child living in the
poorest county has much better chance Of
obtaining an education, as far. as local
school taxes are concerned, than child
in other counties that are much richer: One
of the most liberal counties in the state in
school expenditures is Sherburne, which
has less than half the population of Sibley
county, but spends on schools $139 per
child.

BETTER BARGAINS HERE

The sales, which have recently been
conducted by some Of the lending stores
Of Bemidji demonstrates one fact; and that
ia that greater and better bargains can be
secured at home, than elsewhere.
Bemidji stores have acquired the repu-
tations at home and in the surrounding
community Of being fair and Of carrying
merchandise that is also above par, when
price is considered. ~..,
The sales pull trade, from surrounding
towns and villages and not only build up
the business for the stores that are doing
the advertising, but stimulate business all
around.
People find more satisfaction in spend
ing their money at home as rule. They
keep their conscience clear and in addi-
ton have the satisfaction Of knowing that
the dollar they spend at home will help
to keep UP the city, schools and churches.
It's case Of satisfaction with the buyer
and the seller alike: ger

The advertisements are informative, au-

details they are right up to the minute.
Truly they are like the magic carpet of
