Fred Hadley sits away off there in sum
California and writes this for the readers of til
Fairmont Sentinel.
We would like to do little viewing
with alarm today, and we would like to point
out two things that are not doing this coun-
try any good. They are race consciousness
and class consciousness. The former clings
to the hyphen, and the latter sets up false
standards. 1t is about time that the hyphen-
ated citizen amputated the hyphen, and in
stead of being a Swedish-American, Ger
man-American, an English-American, and
so on, thinks Of himself, and has his fellow
citizens think of him, as just plain Ameri-
can-and there is no higher title. We read
paper the other day which is given over to
matters pertaining to certain race of peo-
pie, and this paper dwelt at length on the

There is campaign HaE.iciie Uni
versity to teach students how to read 1t is
apparently, much needed campaign and ole
to which other colleges might also well give 6
little thought. Hamline professors saying
any number of interesting and enlightenn4
things in connection with this recognition of the
fact that the average college student has.
'Never read the Bible, although some
of them may have studied certain parts

Probably could not name one of
the six most significant books Of the 10Th
century, and have not read half dozen
books written before 1880.
"Never really familiarized themselves
with single world classic"
Among these interesting expression of opin-
ion is that of George Peterson, student editor
of the Oracle, who makes the following state
ment.
college students are "too interested
in grades and not enough in learning. If
somebody work out plan that will
create an interest in reading, knitting,
hopping floors, anything else that will
put it above the interest in grades, which
mean nothing-well, / doubt if it can be done
in one year, but anyway, I'm in favor of it."
Right there, it appears to the casual on
locker is where the public and the parent comes
in. Parents have a way of demanding tina.
children produce good marks from the time they
enter the lower grades until the college course
is completed The child is taught early that the
child who has an a. is the superior student
even though that grade may have been obtained
by sheer memorizing without any by-product OF
thought. 1t might aid in getting students of all
ages away from this idea that a grade is the
main aim of education if parents could come to
realization that an accumulation of more or
less unclassified information crowned by high
mark is NOT the purpose and end of study

"Lots of communities talk more or less abo1-

ers who live in District IS at Belr CHAM in Lac

old school building burning down it was necess-
airy to raise several thousand dollars to replace
it. Instead of bond issue and the interest it
would entail they got together, assessed each
one according to his property and paid over the

high taxes if that sort Of economy could be made
as popular as bond issues.

SCARLET FEVER

The Executive Secretary OF the REDWOOD
County Red Cross and the Superintendent OF the
Redwood County Schools have both discovered,
in their travels over the county, that Scarlet
Fever is increasing among the children of the
County and in some localities the situation is
one demanding attention. Some OF the parents,
because the disease is in the light form known
as "scarlatina", paying little or no attention
to quarantine restrictions and in some cases
children in the peeling stage have been permitted
to return to school. Such procedure is not only
wrong to the child himself who may suffer bad
after effects from being out Of bed too early,
but it is exceedingly bad for the community.
Every patient in this stage is disease carrier
and the entire school may become affected
little pamphlet on the prevention OF the spread
of this disease and the of those who have
already contracted it, is being circulated from
the County Red Cross office by the Secretary
Miss Mabel Baltic. From the good advice given
in this pamphlet we have selected at random the
following bits of council.
Scarlet Fever is a very contagious di-
sease.
1t is easy to catch but not so easy to
cure.
! No child has to have it. Because one
child has it, is no reason why other child
rem should have 1t. 10 not let tne wen
children be near the sick child.
Grown people may get it too. In most
cases person who has once had it does not
get it again.
Children who have had scarlet fever
must not return to school for at least six
weeks.
Children whose skin is peeling after
scarlet fever must not go to school.
Be sure and have doctor. The heart,
kidneys, and ears often seriously affect
ed by scarlet fever, and great care Of the
patient should be taken. Follow the doc
tors instructions to food and clothing.
Careful nursing should be continued
after the skin has peeled and the child is
we'll.
Every one should observe these rules.
To keep your children well, you must
help to keep other peoples children we'll.

CHICAGO VOTING .
ON RAIL PURCHASE
Proposition of Municipal
Ownership and SubWays
Up to Citizens.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. :
CHICAGO, April 7.-Chicago voted
today on municipal acquisition and
extension of the surface and elevated
railways and construction of a sub
way, a 100000. 600 project. A 40
year period is provided for payment
for the properties out of ,the earn
ings of the lines
For the street railways s162.S43.5s4
would be paid. for the elevated sS5,-
100000 and for 465 miles of extern
sions to those systems S26s.301 900
would be appropriated.
A start on construction of SIS miles
of subways would be made with the
approximately s4O.000.000 already
available from the city's, share of
street railway earnings.
Two Plans Submitted.
Two propositions were submitted
today, one to acquire the lines and
the other to create a municipal board
of control to operate them.
The election ended hard nonpar-
tisan fight of several weeks, during
which scores of meetings nightly
heard proponents and opponents of
the venture.
Sponsoring the plan, Mayor Will
liam Z. Dever rallied to it's support
more than 900 civic organizations.
while three former mayors who sat
for a quarter of century prior to
Dever's assumption of office-Carter
H. Harrison. E. F. Dunno and Will
liam Hale Thompson--led in organ
izing opposition.
Opponents of the proposition
charged passage of the ordinance
would saddle upon Chicago municipal
ownership with political mismanage-
ment and grating, boosted fares and
expenditure of above $1,000, 900, 900 and
possession of properties already vir-
tually antiquated, and which, within
the life of the ordinance, would be
junked.
Brief for Plan.
In favor of the plan it was said Chi
cago's transportation is seriously in
adequate, that the growing city must
be provided for, that fares probably
would be reduced under it, and cer-
tainly not increased, despite the bet
tered service; that congestion in the
downtown district would be elimi-
mated, and that expiration of the sur
face line franchises in 1927 would
make it virtually Impossible to in
terest adequate private capital for
development and would result in re-
ceiverships for the surface lines.
Under the proposed ordinance, a
board of nine, under the supervision
of the city council, would operate the
properties, three members to be ap-
pointed by the holders of securities
which would be issued to pay for the
properties, three by the mayor, with
the city councils approval. and three
by agreement with the mayors ap-
provaI necessary, however.
