Plan Cutover To
New Equipment
New Transformers Installed
To Replace Those Loaded
To Capacity

With the present equipment load
ed to capacity, the cutover to the
new Northern States Power sub
station at the city Water, Light and
Power plant will be made Sunday,
A. e. MacDermond, secretary, said
this week.
At the low point Of the load at
daylight Sunday morning the local
plants diesel engines will "pick up
the load" he said, and carry 1t for
the local service until the switch
is made to new equipment.
The cutover is transportation Of
the present load to three new trans
formers and other equipment re-
placing now loaded to capicity
transformers.
New transformers, capable of $50
KVA (kilovolt amperes) each, will
aggregate total of $50 KVA. They
replace three 1905, decided in
crease in the capacity of the plant.
The sub-station Is the super-struc-
ture through which the line load is
transformed to conform with the
voltage Of the local plant, he ex-
planned.
Seven years ago, Mr.. MacDer-
mond explained, when the present
transformers were installed they
were deemed more than adequate to
serve this community. Now load
ed to the hilt" their point Of expan-
sion has been reached, replacement
of new, more powerful units is a
necessity.
New voltage regulators, to keep
the flow Of current constant, light

tration of the Minnesota Home
School for Girls, located in this
city, under a recent report Of the
Osborne Society of New York, was
highly praised and commended be-
fore the 6Sth annual congress Of the
American Prison Association. The
Osborne Association, considered the
worlds outstanding prison survey
and reform group, privately endow-
ed, said the local school franks with
the best institutions reported upon
in this volume"
Thirteen institutions for juveniles
in seven states were covered in this
report, and only one, the local
school, had q definite program for
religious training, as a part OF the
work to reclaim unfortunate young
girls. This training is under the
direction Of four Sank Centre pas
tors, FIR. Chas. Mayer, chaplain for
the Catholic girls, and Rev. r. ].
Mott, Rev. p. ]. Jansen and Rev.
Carmen Thronson, representing the
Protestant groups.
This report stated that the school
and Miss Inez Patterson, superin-
tendent for six years, have a def
mite training plan and that this
plan is being carried out conscient-
iously. Under this plan, a course
Of training for staff members is pro-
vided, in which they try to under
stand the girls behavior and to pro
vide the training and affection that
the girls need. When new people
come. to the staff definite instruc-
tion regarding the work and q
course Of study is given. Confer
ences with the administration are
included, an planned to aid the
girls. This Is not just a matter OF
guesswork, but q definite program,
which also includes routine staff
meetings for house mother and kit
chen supervisors, at which courses
in study regarding the girls are Civ
en-, as well as practical problems of
administration Of cottage duties.
In commenting on the definite
plan of the local state school, the
report said: THAT is well deserved
praise, for too many children's in
situations have high-sounding plans
without consistent practice, and we
do not wish to revoke one word of
commentator due the administra-
ton for the realistic and sincere
way in which present theories OF
training are put into practice"
Fire risks, hit in other institu-
tons, do not compare with that in
many Of the schools" the report
said, because of the good condi-
ton Of the buildings and the gen.
erous supply Of extinguishers and
fire plugs"
Excellent features" of the CLASH
fication and reception programs at
the school were praised, with the
report stating that members Of the
classification committee are well
qualified to participate in a CLASH
fication program"
The medical program, the report
said, makes favorable impression
because of the obviously high stan
dards which characterize 1t and be-

PWA project, and that a regular
contractor will do the work. This
contractor may hire men as he sees
fit, although local labor must be
given preference. Skilled, semi
skilled and un-skilled labor from
the local relief rolls must be given
preference. There will not be
enough relief labor to go around,
and other local labor must be used
before outsiders can be employed.
The Board plans to start work as
soon as possible. Specifications for
the basement and the moving of
the Senior high building have been
at PWA headquarters at Omaha,
for ten days. The Board hopes
checking Of these specifications will
be completed the first Of next week.
After two weeks Of advertising for
bids on specifications, work can be
started. It will be at least three
weeks before actual work can be
begun.
After the Senior High building is
moved to its new location on the
northwest corner Of the lot, work
will be continued throughout the
winter as the project must be en-
tirely completed by September I.
1889. The Senior High building
will be moved to the foundation and
basement and will be made ready
for. use as soon as possible. The
interior Of the building will not be
revamped until next summer dur
ing the vacation period.

Members Of the school orchestra
and the vocal groups Of the local
school gave a demonstration on
National contest numbers at the

urday. The orchestra presented two
overtures, Golden Sceptre" and

A letter in explanation Of the
music courses and possibilities
available has been sent to all the
parents of children in grades four
to eight. The attached blank at the
bottom Of the letter should be fill
ed out and returned to the child's
teacher at once.
Mr.. Kitzberger plans to enlarge
the scope Of the band by organiz-
ing beginners classes at once. The
various instruments will be taught
and this free instruction will be
continued through the summer va
cation so that these beginners will
be ready to take a place in the reg
ular band by fall.
Students have been given a mus
ical aptitude test to determine the
extent Of their natural ability, and
only those whose rating Is high are
being recommended for this work.
Instruments may be secured on q
rental basis for three months
period, with the understanding
that the rental can be applied to
purchase Of an instrument II the
child proves satisfactory.

and introduced the speakers. 1890
people attended this event.
A new loudspeaking system, pur-
chased by the fire department, the

We have had a number Of
prominent citizens who recog-

training who have passed On.
Any one Of whom we would be
glad to honor by naming this
field after him but in so doing
we could honor but one.

From tumble to finesse a ball
game that went teeter-tottering
from one end Of the field to the
other thrilled 1900 kibitzers Friday
night when Sank Centre dedicated
its new lighted football field, and
Long Prairie and Sank Centre bat
tied to a scoreless tie under an Oc-
tober moon that flooded the scene.
While the moon shone above, it
was Long Prairie, led by the shifty
hips Of Blake and the singing pow
er thrusts Of fullback Chyba, who
shone on the offensive, boring deep
again and again into local terri
tory.
But always they were turned
back. Turned back by a defensive
that was at once the brightest de-
fensive play the Haryevmen had
shown in the season. Long Prai-
rie's offensive would roll Off yards
in midfield, then the defensive
would set tight. Egan, Berggreen,
Arneson or Pangburn and Kringen,
or Ethun would knife through to
spill the charging backs for losses,
bringing the march up short Of de-
sired yards.
