COST
UP II Per CENT
Commissioner Mcconnell Says
Increased Load of Activity
Much More.

Public school expenditures in Mime
sofa rose eleven per cent from 1923 to
1881 but the advance was less than the
increased load of activity by the schools
in the opinion of j. M. Mcconnell, state
commissioner of education
The added load of activity was rep
resented in terms of enrolment and
the rising education level, Mcconnell
said in review of problems faced by
education in these times distributed by
the Minnesota Education association.
He praised the state for its system of
granting financial aid to the schools.
while the economic pressure on
dren anywhere in the state are being
deprived Of the privilege of attending
schools That schools in some local.
ties are not closed or reduced to hope
less inefhciency is due to our generous
and far-reaching system of state aid.
''The value of state support in the
maintenance of an efficient school
system has been amply proven in the
present emergency"
I'm the exercise of such economies
as become necessary" Mr. Mcconnell
said, cit is reasonable to expect that
the schools will not be called on to
bear more than their fair share
Rather they should be favored since it
is the children's interests that are at
stake.
In Minnesota in 1890, twelve years
after the first state high school law
was enacted in 1878, high school
students constituted 1.3 per cent of the
total public school enrolment, Mr.. Nc
Connell said. Thirty years later in
1920, the percentage had reached 81
or nearly tenth of the whole, and in
1882 it was 20.6 or more than fifth of
the total enrolment"

Tower Defeats Ely by One
Point in Final Minute of
Play.

A field goal in the last 30 seconds of
play gave Tower high school one point
victory over the Ely high school basket
ball team at Tower last Thursday. The
final score was Is and a.
The game was one of the fastest
played on the Tower floor in years.
The two teams battled on practically
even terms for most of the first period
but Tower forged ahead just before the
quarter ended TO lead 8 to 4. Tower
kept up a fast pace in the second frame
and jumped to a seven point lead, but
Ely came back with nice offensive at
tack and were one point behind at
half time, the score being Is to IL for
Tower.
Ely grabbed a one point lead soon
after the second half started. Tower
came back with a field goal and Ely re-
taliated with two more points to again
take the lead. Two successive goals
from the field gave Tower a 10 to Is
margin as the third period closed. Both
teams crammed lot of basketball into
the last quarter. Tower started things
by taking long lead, % to 16. Paris,
Ely center, brought the Ely total to %
by dropping three goals through the
hoop in fast succession. Ely was a.

This season, as in the past, high
school basketball teams in this district
will compete for Sportsmanship
trophy. This trophy is awarded to the
team which, during the season, shows
the best craftsmanship. One important
thing to remember when at basket
ball game is that the attitude of the
spectators also counts, either for or
against teams chances to win the
trophy. Vociferous "Boos" and Cat
calls" are out and should not be used
even if the officials decisions on certain
plays do not seem to be right. After
each game, the referee and umpire
make written reports on the manner in
which team and it's spectators have
behaved. There is no reason whats D
ever why Ely shouldn't get the Sports
manship trophy. If every fan will re-
frain from "Booing" decisions and help
others from doing so, the Ely teams
chances for the trophy will be greatly
increased.

Minute Squirt.

A spirited drive in the closing
moments of the game gave the Ely
Junior Collge basketball team ~ to
10 victory over the Hibbing college cage

Saturday in basketball game that was
packed with thrills. The Rangers won

Endorses Seal Sale.

Bishop Thomas A. WEIGH, Catholic
Diocese of Duluth, in commenting on
the Christmas seal sale now in progress
said, II ann very glad to add my word
Of endorsement and encouragement to
the annual sale of Christmas seals
Any curtailment of the excellent work,
accomplished by the Christmas seal

ing conditions would be tragic. am
confident that the people of our COM
munity will appreciate this fact and
respond to this years appeal with
marked generosity.
1.-The fact that so many of our large
cities report increases in tuberculosis
deaths during 1881 shows the need of
special effort on the part of health or

Next month the legislature
will swoop down on ST. Paul
and the usual biennial grind of
acts and measures for the con-
duct of each and every one Of
us and our business and the
business of the state, county
and city will begin. For ninety
days the legislature will meet,
draw up bills and wrangle over
them until IL o'clock on the
night of adjournment when
during the usual bombardment
of books and verbal boquets,
they will emerge on the
statutes of the state with their
heads, tails and insides deleted
and amended until their author
fails to recognize his pet. Not
quite that bad but there will be
a lot of time frittered away.
Sometimes this seems to be
about right and the suggestion
has been made that the legis-
lature meet, correct a few glar.
ing errors, collect their pay and
adjourn, leaving two or three
thousand bills in the hopper to
die a death by hamilton.
With forty-nine states in the
Union all having legislative
sessions and each turning out a
thousand or more laws, besides
all those produced by the ma
tional houses, the ordinary
mortal is beset with "dont's"
every step of the way and is
breaking some kind of a law
every minute of his existence.
If a hundreth part of the laws
of the land were enforced, we
would be in Jail all the time
and every baby born would be
handicapped with a life sem
tence or hung before he or she
was twenty years of age. In
the last election, a change was
demanded. 1t might be well
to give it to them by making no
new laws to break.
