sA EDUCATION AMERICA HAS MOI
 FAILED

Immigrants who come to Amerlca are often disappointed in finding that conditions are not just as they ex- >ected. Perhaps the golden stream IS rot poured out quickly and coplousis enough: perhaps the restrictions the police place upon them do not meet their ideas of Americai freedom; per haps the food they must eat ana the Eouids they drink do not suit them II is only natural that such things should cause a feeling of dissatlsfac- ton
 Tn one respect, however, no 1mm1- .rant has ever been disappointed, and yhat is in the provisions which Amer sea makes for the education Of his, children. The Polish Jew who was nught in secrecy, if at all and in fear sf imprisonment, finds here that edu- cation is as free as the sunlight The German who was restricted to few studies supposed to be suited to his station and was not permitted to pur' sue the higher courses finds in Amer ,kca that his children may attend any school for which they are prepared, and that they sit side by side with the sons of the wealthy The Englishman who was barred from the privileges sf secondary education by the fees charged OF by failure to procure scholarship finds that high schools, housed superbly are open to all with cut price and without formality save that which is necessary to secure an academic education
 Tn no other country on earth IS eau cation suitable to the advancement or the pupil offered without distinction of class and without cost to all who apply. Americans know no other way for their schools have been so con- ducted from beginning; but Europe ans come to us they quickly observe and take advantage of the educational facilities of the country.
 The American system of public edu- cation is the crowning glory of the so- cial system which has developed on this continent Every patriotic Amer ican regards it with pride and main tains it with devotion.

ilLiTERACY DAY

Today is Illiteracy Day in the cam paign being conducted by the Ameri- can Legion during Educational Week. There is no greater menace to our na- ton today than illiteracy, but on the other hand the government should see that the child and the immigrant IS taught things he should know, and se- ditious and unpatriotic magazines sup pressed An education is no good to a person unless it is used as means to advance. Wrong reading is more harmful to the mind than wrong food for the body. First, the loyalty of the teaching staff should be assured; next a course of study should be outlined which will acquaint the immigrant with American ideals and laws. Third, it should be impressed upon him that the lack of reverence for law and the proneness of officials to graft is not a national sport First impressions are apt to be the best, and the first thing to inculcate in the alien mind is loy- atty to ones country.

lLLlTERACY A MENACE TO OUR
 NATION
(By Edith McIntosh)

Iliteracy is perhaps the greatest menace to our nation today. Our gov errment allows all of its citizens to voc in the process of governing our cC~-,trv. These people, who can not read and write, have a voice in our gcv nent. They do not know how to select the people whom they should vote into office. Consequently incapable men are elected to steer our government through the troubles in- cessantly arising. Many of the prob lens confronting our government are caused by the fact that great many citizens can neither read nor write. It will take time, money and patience to teach these people how to read and write. and to use their own judgment and reason in their choice of officers.
 There is only one way to make tho mass canal>7o 0f governing themselves tbrc.,~', rC-e. tatives. That way is to dc " y:ith all illiteracy in our nation.

Strangest of all strange things, and
evidently beyond human guessing
power, there is now, in the thirteenth
week Of the twelfth Philadelphia North
American International Egg-Laying
Competition located at Milford, Del,
a near chance that five egg layers, one
of the 100 pens that make up the COM
petition, will overcome the, lead held
by present first-place holder.
Pen 80 held first place for the first
three weeks; pen 13 occupied that po-
sition until the end of the eighth week;
the present holder, pen q, secured the
lead in the ninth week and now has a
lead Of twelve eggs.
Upon assumption that first and Sec
ond pens yield at their present rate for
the next two weeks they will tie in the
fifteenth week. Just how long the
relative production of the two pens
will continue is beyond hazarding a
guess on; there are entirely too many
possibilities in hen happenings to war
rant anything in the guess line in this
case. This very fact makes the future
performance Of all the higher pens
within striking distance of first place
most interesting.
Twelve eggs separate these two pens,
the fecundity of one or the other may
change overnight from a multitude of
causes. On the other hand, both pens
may remain stationary in respective
yields, in which case pen 67 will drop
pen 27 into second place.
First pen scores a total of 297 eggs,
failing to reach the goal of 300 set for
it in these columns last Sunday; second
pen scores 2S5 eggs.
Third place is held by pen 80. This
pen shows considerable improvement
in the last two or three weeks. For
while it looked as if pen 80 would suf-
fer a long period of curtailed produc-

Many Persons Live in Tents While
Attending University.

More than IT'S persons are living
in 38 tents in the summer
session tent colony at the University
of Wisconsin. This is about the
same number that was in the colony
last summer and takes up the entire
capacity of the grounds. About
twelve groups were forced to go
over to Monona park for their
summer sojourn at the university.
The tent colony is located on the
shore of Lake Mendoza about two
and a half miles west of the
gymnasium. The campers furnish
their own tents, and the platforms
are furnished by the university.
Most of the members of the colony
have cars, bicycles, or launches in
which they go to and from their
classes.
Groceries, milk, and mail go to
them once a day; and passenger
boat stops there on signal. The
occupants of the colony are students
who wish to enjoy a summer outing
with their families, while they attend
the university summer school.

Colored Aggregation on Tour Run
Y Up Against Snap and Are Taken
Into Camp to 3.

With home boy, Charles Drawer.
on the mound Hurley defeated the
Royal Giants, a colored aggregation,
at the local park Sunday by the
score of to 8.
The game was played before a
capacity crowd, many fans from out
of town coming here to see the
colored gents in action.
Drawer proved his ability as
pitcher by holding the visitors to
four hits. He went the entire route
and performed like an old-timer.
He deserves a good deal of credit
for his work in this game. The
Giants are not so slow in baseball
and have squad of sluggers. That
home pitcher could hold them
down so well shows that he has
ability. The colored boys wouldn't
believe that he was a home product.
"Lawdy. how that man can pitch, ."
said one of the darkies after the
game. "You is got some job to
convince me that he was not loaned
from some league team"
1t took six innings for the Hurley
sluggers to get hep to Walker,
pitcher for the visitors. Up to the
seventh Hurley got but one hit, with
the result that a goose egg in each
of the first six frames graced the
board. Three hits, one of them n
double, gave Hurley three runs in
the seventh and a lead of one, the
Giants having secured one in each Of
the first and second innings. In the
eighth inning Hurley staged a
regular batting bee, the entire team
batting around and six more runs
were chalked up. Leo Hunt got
two hits in this frame in as many
trips to the pan. The Giants scor-
ed their third run in the last inning.
Drawer was accorded excellent
support, the locals being on their
toes all of the time and some nifty
plays were pulled off.

ENGINEER HIRED II
TOLOCATE WATER
Council Enters Into Agreement
with St. Paul Engineer to
Establish Water Supply.
TESTS NEAR LAKE LAvINA
Territory Near Lake Lavina VIII
First Be Investigated As a
Possible Source.

A. the result of action taken at
the meeting of the city council last
Friday evening Hurley will make a
determined effort to establish a
water supply.
The proposal of j. H. Brahtz, of
Ct Paul, consulting engineer, to
find source of supply, furnish
plaps and specifications for pump
inc station, supervise operations the
inst year and otherwise assist in
the establishment of a water supply,
was accepted and an agreement
entered into between the city
authorities and Mr. Brahtz, follow
ing a discussion of the proposal in
open meeting.
Efforts to find a supply will first
be confined to territory near Lake
Layina, according to a member of
the water committee, and should it
be found impossible to find a
sufficient supply at this point other
possible sources will be tried.
The understanding is that it is
not the intention to take water from
the lake itself, but that wells will be
sunk near the lake. Lake Lavina
water would not be suitable, but it
is believed that by sinking wells a
supply Of good water can be found.
Upon the signing of the agreement
with Mr.. Brahtz he was paid $500
and it is understood that he will
begin making tests Immediately.
Further compensation will be paid
him on a percentage basis as the
work progresses.
feature of the agreement is one
wherein Mr.. Brahtz shows con-
fdence in his ability to furnish
water to the city at saving. Fol-
lowing a years operation of the
plant he would be paid 10 per cent
of the amount saved the city in
comparison with the cost of the
water used by the city the previous
year.

Prominent Mining Man and Pioneer
Citizen Sueoumbs in Hospital at
Rochester.
FIRST SETTLED IN HURLEY
CaP'n Trezona's First Work OF
Gogebic Range Was at Develop
ment Properties West Of
Here.

Captain Richard r. Trezona.
prominent mining man and pioneer
citizen, has gone 20 his just reward.
Death came to him about 9 O'Clock
Monday evening at the Mayo Bros ;
hospital at Rochester. He was 76
years old.
Early in June with his wife Mr..
Trezona motored to the Mesaba
range He was visiting his daugh-
ter, Mrs. George Dormer. Mt Buhl.
when he became i'll and was taken
to Rochester for treatment. He
had been in the hospital about two
weeks and despite the treatments
failed gradually. His death was
caused by hardening of the arteries
and diabetes
The body was shipped to Eveleth
and the funeral held yesterday
friday with interment in the
cemetery at Virginia.
Captain Dick" Trezona was one
Of the most prominent men in iron
ore mining circles on the ranges in
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.
He was also well-known in the
copper country of Michigan.
He was born at Camboun, Corn
wall, England, an Sept Is, 1876.
AT ar early age he entered the
mines and learned the rudiments of
mining in England. At the age of
Is years he came to America and
in 1861 settled in the copper coun-
try of Michigan, where he followed
the mining game for many years.
In the year 1885 he came to Hur-
ley but previous to his coming here
and after leaving the coYper coun-
try he spent some time in he mining
regions of Colorado. His first con-
nection with mining on this range
was as captain of the old Pence,
Hennepin and Schneider properties
west of Hurley near the present
village of Pence. He remained
there for number of years and
then took charge Of the Windsor
mine a short distance west of Hur-
ley Later he went over on the
Michigan side and had charge Of the
Anvil, Palms and Mikado mines.
While resident of Hurley pre-
voious TO his leaving for the Mesaba
range Mr.. ,Trezona took pro-
minent part in the political and
civic life Of the village. He served
a term as chairman Of the village, at
that time known as the Town of
Vaughn. He also served a term
MS county treasurer
In the year 1898 Cap'n Trezona
and his family left Hurley and took
up their residence at Eveleth on the
Mesaba range, where Mr., Trezona
had a prominent part in the mining
activities of the community. For
many years up until his retirement
from active mining work he was
superintendent Of the famous Fayal
mine at Eveleth.
Five years ago Mr. Trezona came
to the conclusion that his connection
with the mining game had been long
enough and he gave up the lucrative
position of superintendent Of the
Fayal mine and with Mrs. Trezona
returned to Hurley 20 pass his
declining years.
