mentary school list included also sup
Elementary books" In which were car
ried vioumes on arithmetic, geography
history and other readers.
Senior High Book Changes.
The approved senior high school list
included books on the sciences business
practice, mathematics. history, modern
languages and other vital subjects
taught in the schools. Similar vol
umes were approved for the Junior high
schools,
In recommending the adoption of the
specified volumes, DR.. Ballou explained
that the books had been on display in
board had inspected them. The books
were studied also by the officials of the
school system. and those approved are
believed by the school authorities to be
the most suitable and comprehensive
treatises on their respective subjects OBJ
tainable for the particular station in
the school curricula each is to maintain,
The books adopted will be placed in the
schools and used for at least three
years. the superintendent explained, as
book changes are not made for shorter
periods.
In many instances, II was indicated
at the meeting. the adopted volumes
were written by teachers in the school
system. and in order to obliterate all
possibility Of suspicion that the school
board was partial toward the local au-
thorS in the selection of their WORKS
Or. Ballou recommended that these
particular volumes be submitted to the
u. S. Bureau Of Education for con-
firmation. The board approved DR.
Ballou's recommendation and the books
will be presented to the bureau.
History Books Exempted.
Before approving the volumes.
Charles F. Carusi, president. asked If
any of the history books had been the
subject Of controversy. and he was ad-
vised that none had been in that lime
light. Or. H. Barrett Learned men,
Der. however. criticized one of the his
tory source books" declaring that 1t
seemed to him it was written by per-
sons who studied history 30 or 40 years
ago. The Illustrations. he said. were of
the period of 1880. contributing fur
ther to his doubt as to whether or not
some better volume could not be Sc
lected. In its approval of the list. the
board exempted this one volume
In his brief discussion of the "Z"
group child examinations DR.. Ballou
declared that while it is impossible to
make physical examinations of every
pupil in the schools or even every
child which is assigned to the ""
group classes, mis-assignments are rare
AS soon as such an error is made, he
declared 1t is at once discovered and
the child is transferred. Psychiatric
examinations are made Of pupils, he
said. not by staff of school PSYCHE

artists as such, but by a group ofrWash-
ington psychiatrists who have donated
their services. Psychological tests also
are made of the grouped children by
Miss Jesse La Sale and Howard p.
Long. assistant superintendents of
schools, whom DR.. Ballou characterized
as experts in psychology"
Emergency Fund Urged.
Brief discussion of the present lack
OF an emergency fund for the use oi
the Board of Education was evoked
when Harry o. Hine. secretary, re-
ported that he still had not nearly
completed compilation of the laws
under which the Board of Education
operates. The compilation was ordered
by the board one year ago, and Mr.,
Hine declared he could not get the
work completed for many months with
out another clerk to assist in the work
1t developed that at the present no
clerk in the school system can be spared
Mr.. Hinc for this work and no school
funds are available for the employment
of an extra clerk Mr.. Carusi declared
that a small appropriation should be
available for the use of the Board of
Education In just such an emergency as
this" IN which work actually is being
halted and delayed because of the lack
of employment funds.
The board denied the petition Of the
Pack Shops of Baltimore TO place candy
vending machines in the schools The
petition was turned down perfunctorily
and without comment.
The school personnel changes ap-
proved by the board are as follows:
Appointments. permanent-Miss I. v.

retarded pupils, it be given physical

PINE CITY HOLDS
MEMORIAL SERVICES
Names of Men Who Have Died
For Country Are HOnOred in
Appropriate Sermon; Three
Old "Vets" Attend.

Memorial services honoring the
names of the men who died for the
country were held at the Presbyterian
church in Pine City last Sunday. This
was a union service of the several
Protestant churches and the sermon
was delivered by Rev. T. B. Clark
of the Methodist church. Only three
of the veterans of the Civil war were
present. These were M. O. Guptil
Of Mission Creek township who now
is nearly 88 years old, James Gardner
of Pine City who is 81 years old and
Major Grieg who is past 80.
In his sermon, Rev. Mr.. Clark men
toned the fact that his father was
a veteran of the Civil war. He
preached sermon on peace and said
he believed in the outlawry of war
as soon as this was possible.
Flowers were given to the veterans
by the D. A. r. circle of Pine City.
At the conclusion, of the services
many people gathered around the
veterans to extend congratulations.
Several veterans of the Spanish
American and World wars also were
present.

Danebod Home Gets
Much Press Attention

Recent arrivals of daily newspapers
from Copenhagen, Denmark, reveals
the fact that Mrs. Ludwig Jensen of
the Cildren's Home in Tyler has ar
rived in her old home land and that
the press of Denmark is mucn in
this Western Minnesota settlement,
where so many Danish descendants
reside. The papers abound with col
umn-long stories of the children's
home and of the settlement around
Tyler, while some of the papers carry
illustrations of Mrs. Jensen, the home
and farm scenes from Tyler. Upon
arrival of the steamer 'Hellig Olav"
from New York, Mrs. Jensen was sur
rounded by journalists from practi-
cally every Copenhagen daily and the
papers which especially dwell at
length upon Tyler activities are the
"Rerlingske Tidende,' the national
tidende," and 'Dagens Nyheder." The
children's home is also given much
publicity in "Horsens Avis and
other dailies in the Jutland PENN
sula, where Mrs. Jensen is visiting
relatives. From private sources we
are informed that Mrs. Jensen will
receive an invitation to call at the
royal castle, Amalienborg in Copen-
hagen, some time in June, to be
greeted by King Christian, who is
very interested in all matters per-
tanning to Danish descendants in the
United States and their various &C
tivities.-Tyler Journal.

Minnesota Was
First to Aid in
Cripples Care

The state of Minnesota was the first
state in the union to pass a law
providing funds for the education of
the crippled child. This state aid of
$3.50 annually is available for the
education of every crippled child in
the county provided five or more cases
of school age can be located in one
community. Hennepin and st. Louis
counties are the only counties avail
ing themselves of the state aid. The
Michael Bowling School for crippled
children in Minneapolis and the new
school at Duluth are examples of
schools operating under the law in
this state.
Each day more than 100 children
from all parts of Hennepin county are
brought to the Michael Bowling
school in buses, that they may enjoy
the same educational advantages as
physically normal children. This
school is different from the average
schools in that it has special rooms
supplied with apparatus for use and
treatment of these children. The class
rooms are equipped with correct pos
ture seats and low black boards with
ratings to steady the pupils.
Besides being a special school for
crippled children the school is oper-
ated by teachers who understand the
different physical hanGicaps sustained
by the pupils and in what degree
their lives differ from those of normal
children. Here no petting or self
pity is tolerated for each child boosts
his neighbor and by constantly COM
peting with one another, normal
attitude of mind is attained Expert
ence has gradually developed three
distinct but closely correlated depart
ments in the school - the physical
care, academic preparation, and in
dustrial training.
1t is the plan of the Minnesota
Association for Crippled Children,
which is sponsoring campaign for
dollar membership, to make it pos
sible for any crippled child in the
state to receive early treatment.
When this is accomplished, it will be
possible for the crippled child to take
advantage of the state aid for educa-
ton, the members of the association
feel that their minds must be salv-
aged to enable them to support them
selves and become contentea and
happy citizens.
