ITO the Patrons of the Mankato

both school and church agree that
the religious instruction given dur
ing the past two school years was
a great success. This question has
become one OF nation wide import
ance and is being recognized as a
vital element in the development OF
our young manhood and woman
hood. and thus it is a distinct ser
vice to the nation IN producing real
Christian citizenship.
THE religious instruction that was
initiated in this city TWO years ago
has attracted much attention in
other communities and is growing
in favor with our own people, as
shown in the increased attendance
OF pupils receiving religious instruc-
ton.
I'VE therefore again request the
parents to encourage and urge their
children TO take this subject dur
ing the coming school year.
The school work has been ar.
ranged so that pupils above the sec
ono grade can have a chance to at
tend such religious instruction al
the church Of their choice. Rel!g-
ious instruction will be given on
Thursday of each week in classes as
follows:
$50 .: 15-seventh. eighth and
ninth grades, ...
10: Is II: 3o-Tenth, eleventh and
twelfth grades.
800 Third and fourth
grades.
1904: 10-Firth and sixth grades.
Glasses to begin on Thursday,
September IS. 1923.
"The instruction will be one period
each Thursday and will not i0,rr =
fere in any way with the regular
school work. = ..
as superintendent OF our public
schools ! w. ~ endorse this move
ment most heartily and recommend
that parents indicate' their willing

the automobile and the train were
running at the rate of forty miles
an hour. Coroner G. A. Dahl Of this

cidental. He was of the opinion
from the testimony of eye witnes
ses that Mr.. Baker, who had just
purchased a new car, and had in
tended 10 60 to several points in
Iowa, tried to beat the train across
the crossing. Those who saw the
accident state that gong at the
crossing was changing vigorously,
and the engineer of the train gave
several sharp blasts on the whistle
of the locomotive as q warning. II
was impossible TO bring the train to
a stop for nearly q quarter Of q
mile. The bodies which were ter
ribly mangled, were strewn nearly
that distance along the track. Iden
tifcation or the bodies was estab
lished by the license plates on the
car.

Mr.. Baker and his daughters left
their home near GAINESVILLE about
noon, with the intention of touring
through Iowa. They had planned to
spend the first night en- route with
friends q short distance beyond
Lake Crystal. They had been gone
less than three hours when they
were killed at the grade crossing.

daughter, was a teacher in the
schools at GAINESVILLE. She was q

vile, and Everett Baker, who is liv-
ing in the Province OF Saskatche
wan, Canada.
The bodies were to be taken to
'anesyille and services will be held

Baker family took an active inter
est in church affairs.

quest was not necessary.
1t is said that the elder woman In
the car warned the driver against
trying to cross the track ahead o.
the train.

ALASKA ROAD COMMISSION
 SUBMITS BUDGET FOR 1924

The Alaska Road Commission, hav- ing in charge the road and trail build ing of the territory, has submitted an estimate for the 1924-25 appropriation from congress, which will convene in December. The estimate calls for $1,6O0,000, and the commissions fig ures have been approved by the war department. This does not mean that the commission will secure the sum asked for, because the federal budget bureau will scan the departments needs very closely and cut wherever possible. But 1t seems likely in view of the late President Harding's ex- pressed belief in liberal appropria- tions for road and trail work in Alas ka, sum exceeding $1,0O0OO0 will be appropriated.
