A Northwestern Pioneer.
(New York World.)

When Ezra Meeker of the Oregon Trail died al
 nnety-seven a great deal of history was buried
 with him. But President Emeritus w. w. Folwe
 of the University of Minnesota dying at ninety six represents even more of the storied past of the West Meeker was a link with the frontiersmen- the men who spent months in covered wagons cruising the seas of short-grass and sage who fought blzzards and Indians, who washed out the placer dirt. Dr. Folwe was type of dis tingushed body, the pioneers who built up insttu-
 tionS. He was first head of the University of Min
 nesota in 1869. He lived to write in four volumes the history of his State risen to 3,O000O0 popu-
 lation, and his university, of our first ten in size and importance.
 When Dr. Folwell went to Minnesota the echoes
 of the Sioux uprising and it's massacres were still
 reverberating; half the State still unsurveyed
 most of the population clung to the southeastern counties, and numbering still the chief industry Minneapolis was town of 12OO0 and Duluth was not yet laid out. The hard pressed pioneer
 lived on berries, wild rice and game while putting up his sod cabin and breaking the prairie Wash burn, Christian and others were just placing the milling industry it's feet There lay ahead the lean years of grangerism, Ignatius Donnelly rail- way failure, and devastation by grasshoppers Yet the struggling little State had the courage to lav claim to cultural destiny of the fullest size It founded newspapers by scores its Yankees Scan- dlnaVlanS and Germans deteSted ignorance as they

 War, was chosen to give it strength In later years

The President Sets an Example.
Engineering and Mining Journal0

At the end of the first half-year of the new administration, the United States takes stock of the Presidential record Comments favorable, sometimes highly complimentary Even those who differ from MT. Hoover in political leanings join with the majority in credting him with having made fine start-one that will undoubtedly lead to changes of deep and lasting signifcance-to bet ter relationships, internal and international The New York Herald Tribune compliments the Pres- dent for acting when action is required; for acting frankly and in straightforward manner. The edi- tor ayers that "The country can now recognize in him sngularly far-sighted leader whose mind is large enough to encompass this vast nation and its vaster problems. By his actions he has emerged as a sample or what Americans most value-a man of action, man of brains, man of character"
 Smooth achievement, such has been witnessed at the White House during the last six months. however, involves more than character brains &C., tion. It follows utilization of sound engineering common sense applied to everyday affairs Mir Hoovers success IS due in small measure to a determination to tighten every task by the infection or order and system into his duties and into the duties of his Cabinet and of his subordinates.
 observers have been intrigued by the determina- ton shown by MT Hoover to tackle the hardest problem first If lesson could be taught if would ihcuicate the advantage in disposing of the uncon- genial task in the quickest possible time to provide
 ncldentahy, favorable mental effect of having overcome an obstacle To avoid responsibility is 'o ihVlCe mental fatigue that invariably precedes postponed toll The performance of even dis agreeable task may be syStematized, and so a new element of interest is introduced

THE CIRCUS By Mary Graham Bonner

The little black clock had turned the time back to the previous Sat- ulday, when the circus had been in town. Now the band could be heard playing.
 It was a splendid band. John and Peggy were at the fair grounds where the circus was going to be. There was the big tent, all ready for the great performance. And there was the smaller tent, where the animals were. And back of these were the tents where the per- formers were getting ready.
 I'm going back to see some of my friends in the circus" the lit- tie black clock said, while you take your seats"
 Perhaps, the little black clock continued, q could turn the time back little further still after you have seen the show Then you could go back to the early morning when they were unloading. Would you like that?"
 "Oh, yes!" John said
 And I could see them, too?" Peggy asked.
 Certainly" said the little black clock.
 Now the little black clock went behind the scenes to see some of his circus friends, and John and Peggy took the very same seats they had had the Saturday before.
 All their friends were around them. The clowns came out and made the same jokes, but they elephants did the same tricks, but seemed funnier than ever. The they seemed more wonderful than ever. The trapeze performances were simply beyond any words!
 Oh" said Peggy, T wish I could be trapeze performer when grow up, or ride in a circus parade and bow to everyone as I rode along"
 Let's ask the little black clock if he has magic enough for that?" John suggested.
 "Oh, maybe he has!" Peggy cried.
 But they didn't say anything more just then. They just watched the circus. And John was perfectly sure that one of the greatest aero, bats bowed particularly to him!

NEW YORK AND EDUCATION.

The enrolment in the public schools of New York City this year showed that the seventeen new school buildings, with accommodations for nearly 19,000 additional students, none too many It is clearly indicated that next years school house construction program must be larger than the one just past The school enrolment in the metrop- os this year nearly 1l0O0oo-a gain of 15.- GOO in the elementary grades and 10000 in the high schools. In addition to providing free schooling for these large armies of youth, New York City is op- eratng or constructing six colleges and universities to give free higher education The schools of high CT education will it is estimated, afford schooling for 10000 students This includes the College of the City of New York with nearly 10000 The mun- cipality maintains additional training schools for thousands of other students
 Supplementing this system for free education there many thousands attending church and private schools and colleges. These cover the en- tire gamut from little parish primary schools to the great Columbia University with nearly 4o- schools, like New York University Fordham and others
 Many people do not take into account this great educational work in Gotham when they per- suade themselves that the Nations metropolis is chiefly comprised of "Tammany Toughs" the Bow cry and Al Smith boosters. And when they do think of the great educational system of this great City, probably the greatest educational system under

MORE INDUSTRIES
URGED FOR CAPITAL
Representative Eaton Says
There Should Be Continued
Development.

Continued expansion of the COM
mercial and industrial activities of
Greater Washington of a character
not out of harmony with plans for
Identification to a greater degree of
the National Capital was forecast by
last night in addressing the Washing
ton Chamber of Commerce at its session
at the Willard Hotel.
While the Federal Government al
ways will be the outstanding factor in
Washington, there is no earthly reason
why there should not be continued
development of business and industrial
enterprises hereof type not dis
ruptive of the esthetic qualities and
dignity of the Capital" he declared.
Mr. Eaton said when he first came to
Washington he was deeply impressed
with the absence here of productive in
dustries aside from activities of the
Federal Government. Referring to the
movement fostered by the chamber for
expansion of light" industrial activities
IN this region, the speaker said no in
fiuence could keep a city, growing by
leaps and bounds, in the state of being
merely political center
washington will become a great
commercial, industrial and economic
center" he predicted. He added that
the day is passed when 1t was thought
that to be productive and successful an
Industrial enterprise had to be ugly.
Lauds Chest Success.
The speaker also praised Washington
on its recent success in the financial
appeal for the Community Chest for
charities and social agencies.
The Federal building program, he
said, would have a beneficial effect
throughout the city, fastening the de-
struction of many of the architectural
monstrosities, as private owners are
encouraged to erect private buildings
more in keeping with the monumental
Government structures.
Mr.. Eaton bespoke better pay for Gov
eminent workers, cheaper rents in
Washington and better housing for the
Nations foreign service agents in other
countries.
On recommendation of a committee
headed by Charles T. Clagett, the
chamber took no action for or against
the proposed calendar simplification
plan, pending the calling of an inter-
national conference and drafting of
definite plan for consideration. A report
by John 2. Walker, approving refer
endum of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States regarding State
and local administration of public roads,
was adopted.
Guests at Meeting.
Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, retiring
assistant Engineer Commissioner; Daniel
z. Garges, secretary to the Board of
Commissioners; Karl v. Flicker, presi-
dent, and Jack Gillespie, secretary of
the Typothetae of Washington, were

ZEPPELIN TRIP TO EGYPT
Definitely ABANDONED
Berlin Paper Declares Great Brit
ain Would Not Sanction
Proposed Flight.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, February ia proposed
flight of the transatlantic dirigible Graf
Zeppelin to Egypt has been definitely
abandoned.
Unofficial feelers in quarters abroad
which are competent to sanction the
visit yielded the information that a
formal application would not meet
favorable reception.
The Lokal Anzeiger yesterday said
that it was reliably informed that the
Egyptian government would have the
greatest pleasure in granting permission
for the flight, but that the British did
not find it to their interests to have
German prestige enhanced in that quar-
ter. The paper criticized the German
government for not making an official
request of England for permission, say
ing that this would hardly have been
refused out of consideration of the
sporting sense of the English public.
