YOUNGEST AIR GYMNAsT
Bert kogIe and His Home Is At Ro
chester, This State

Rochester. March Bert Kogle
seventeen year old Rochester boy,
who came here a year ago from Ma
son City, Is now hailed as the world g
youngest air gymnast by the press
of the country and given nation
wide publicity. He is the son of W.
II. Kogle of Mason City, and his ex-
IRENE daring in stunt flying has won
him recognition from the Aero
nautical Digest" which has placed
him in their aerial hall of fame.
Bert adopted Rochester for his
home after he had mysteriously dis :
appeared from his own home in Ma
son City one night and frantic rela-
tives and police were securing the
city for him, 1t was at the time of
the Olmsted county fair and Bert
with a fancy for air work enlisted
his services here as a parachute
jumper.
Meanwhile his father and Mason
City authorities continued their
search for the slim dark eyed young
ster who had taken the strings into
his own hands and left the comforts
of a luxurious home and education.
One day a lone aeroplane flew
rapidly over Mason City and some
bills were dropped. Bert's picture
was on them.
A Mason City policeman picking
up one of the pink folders -recog-
nized the boy for whom they had
been looking and Immediately mott
fled Bert's father. The father, seeing
his son in the costume of an aviator
and watching a daring pilot execute
death defying stunts over the city
with Bert hanging perilously from
the wings, rushed out to prevent
further flying by having an injunc-
ton served on the owner of the
Rochester plane. This plan failed
So Bert, in defiance of both his
gravity, continued to enlarge on his
about on the wings with the plane
roaring at dangerous attitudes and
hanging by his knees on the bars
and over the ends of the wings by
his fingers. he has dared death in
Rochester several times.
He then proceeded to get pilots
license and racing plane of his own
for the coming season.

mo. but what can I do. He won't
stop. I'll just have to make the best
of it,. So while father makes the
best of it Bert makes Rochester his
home and plans his activities for
the coming year. -
Bert said the other day that his
interest in engines and airplanes be-
gan at the age of twelve, when he
accompanied his father to Ames,
where an aviation field has been
established. Some of the pilots soon
began to admit that he knew more
about the engines than they them
selves did.

heartily in favor of Mr.. McMillan's
plan for the organization OF a dis
trict fair, including the counties ad
joining Blue Earth county, but they
did not favor cutting down the
premium list. II was thought that
Mankato Is an ideal location, and
something should be done to bring
more people to the fair. Robert
Haedt, W. A. Streater and & "A.
Becker were also of the same opin-
ion, and said that there is no reason
why the Mankato District Fair
should not he the biggest and best
association of its kind In Southern
Minnesota
Must Have Amusement
George Atchison. former mem.
Der OF the state fair board said that
Mankato Fair association had not i'll
the past spent enough in amuse
ments and free attractions at the
fair grounds. He thought that $1,000
spent i'm free attractions and amuse-
ments would be money well spent.
Young people of today want to be
amused and entertained. and the fair
will not have the crowds unless this
amusement is furnished. You must
give the people something to please
them. Every particular unit OF the
fair must be looked after. 1t was
brought out in Mr.. Atchison's talk
that this years entertainments at
Mankato fair will far surpass those
Of any other season.
w. r. Adams. Robert Haedt and
!. c. NARROW believed in the idea OF
making every member present a
booster for the fair. They will be
supposed to talk and think fair until
the dates come for holding the show.
NJ. F. Sullivan called attention to
the fact that Mankato merchants
have subscribed literally to the fair
in every way There is not a mer-
chant who places an exhibit on the
fair grounds. hut II costs him at
least S1C0. but it Is thought money
we'll spent. They want to see the
fair a success.
Louis Yaeger suggested as one
source OF revenue, the reserving of
certain stalls in the livestock pavil-
ion at certain charge. Professor
Maurice Nelson was of the same op-
inion. He said that Mankato Fair
should get out of the jerk water"
class and broaden its field.
At the suggestion of Robert Haedt.
all those present were designated as
the Mankato District Fair Booster
association.
At the suggestion of William
Schultz committee Of three con-
sisting OF Emil Laverenz OF Manka-
to. Charles Mccarthy OF Madelia,
and Louis Yaeger of Rapidan were
appointed as committee TO act
with County Agent l.. +. Mcmillan
and She Mankato District Fair board
to plan this years premium list.
A. n. Stamford of this city
thought that the fair should be more
thoroughly advertised this year.
At this point the meeting ad-
journed.

Educators Take This Stand
AT Their Meeting In
Cleveland

Superintendent e. s. Selle return 4
ed from Cleveland. Ohio, where he
had been In attendance at the an
nual convention of the department
of superintendent of the National
Education association. He reports
a splendid meeting, attended by
10000 persons engaged in admins
trative work in education. Minnesota
was represented by a delegation of
approximately 100 including Com
missioner j. M. Mcconnell and
four assistants from the state de-
partment of education.
One of the two most significant
occurrences of the convention was
the decision to continue the fight
for a national department of educa-
ttion,. with a Secretary of education

that John J. Tigert, United States
commissioner of education, appear
ed before the convention as a dir
ect emissary from President Hard
ing, and askd for support Of the
proposed reorganization scheme
which calls for the establishment
OF a department of education and
welfare. The superintendent con-
slider that education is of such par
amount importance that the United
States should give it the recognition
accorded to labor and to commerce
Another thing of far reaching sig
nificance was the announcement of
the world conference in education
which is to be held at San Francis
co and Oakland from June 20 to
July 2 this year. 1t was stated that
fifty nations of Europe. Asia and
South America had assured the at
tendance of more than one thous-
and delegates, representing four
hundred million school children. This
will be the first attempt in the
worlds history to unite the educa-
tional forces of the world in an eff
fort to produce better International
after statesmen have
failed. Removal of the menace of
war was said to be the ultimate
goal of this International Education
Congress.
Outstanding addresses at the con-
yention were those by Newton D.

Alvin Nj. Owsley, commander of the
American Legion; by Aaron Sapiro,
