SCHOOLS TO OPEN;
DATE IS SEPT. 8
Education Board So Decides at
the Special Meeting Held
Last Evening
Tutor to Be Engaged to Coach
Students Who Are Behind
in Their Studies.
Domestic Science Discussion
Develops 1 hat Mr. Scherer
Hails From Missouri.
From Thursday's Dallr.
ihe public ar hoola will open on
Tuesday, Sept. 8, the date established
|a.-i spring. '1 his is « week fitter
Than customary, and the hoard of edu
cation sees no good reasn for delaying
the opening of the schools beyond
that date. At the special meeting of
the board last night it was decided to
adhere to the time previously decided
upon. y '
All of the members of the board
were present except Mfs. Smith, who
is out of the .city. Mrs. Koke, for the
committee on 'schools, recommended
that the op>ening day.be not changed.
Dr. Holbrook said that as a matter
of safety if would be safe enough
to open on Sept, ft, hut many parents
had asked him to have the opening
put off for a month. Some of the
children will not be ready to enter
school before Nov. ], and others not
until - later in the year. Some who
are side now will not be able to at
tend school for two months.
Mr. Davins favorad opening on the
regular time, and thought that it
would be n mistake not to do so.
Mrs. Koke said that the business
men urge tkit the schools he opened
at the usuaNtime, and she thought
that the teachers could help the chil
dren who are unable to enter at the
opening of school.
Mr. Scherer moved that the date
originally fixed for opening the schools
be adhered to.
Should Provide Tutors.
President Hughes thought that some
plan ought to be adopted to help the
children, and not set them back for a
year if they were unable to come
the first month .or two. The circum
stances were exceptional, and the hoard
ought to arrange for a teacher to tutor
the pupils who were unfortunately
not able to enter on the start, and
thus allow them to catch up with their
classes.
Superintendent McConnell said that
the t«aehers would do all that they
could to assist the scholars. He wa«
in favor of starting the schools at
the usual time, in all kindness to those
who are afflicted. There must be
nine months of school, and vacations
cannot be cut out. Mr. Hughes’ sug
gestion was the best that he had
heard, and it would comfort many to
know that the board intended to do
this. It might be that more than
one tutor would be required, but it
would he money well expended. He
thought that there would be no diffi
culty in getting the tutors.
Postponement Unnecessary.
Dr. Beach favored this plan, and
said that there was no necessity for
postponing the opening of the schools.
The situation was under control. A
supply of pure water could be furnish
ed. It would be very unwise not to
open on the usual time. It would be
it bad advertisement for the city. Not
over forty or fifty scholars are afflict
ed. The schools have been kept open
in the past with more than tlmt num
ber out because they had other dis
eases. The board should supply water
coolers and strongly recommend the pu
pils to have individual cups, which
cost but ten cents. He was not in
favor of a common drinking cup, for
there was a slight danger that the dis
ease might be transferred if one who
was infected used the cup. M ith this
precaution there would not be a parti
cle of .danger.
Mr. Scherer’s "motion was carried
without opposition after some further
discussion. . .
Pure Drinking Water.
Dr. Beach moved that the matter of
furnishing pure drinking water in the
public schools be referred to the com
mittee on property and expense with
power to act," the taps on the city
water to be taken off except in the
laboratories, and" this was carried.
Mr. Davies moye<l that the matter of
getting a tutor to help the children
who cannot anter at the opening of
the year be referred to the superin
tendent and committee on schools with
power to act, and this was carried.
Superintendent said that
three teachers’'desks were needed, ami
this matter ryfefred to the com
mittee on pßperty and expense with
power to acty on motion of Mr. Da
vies.
Mr. McConnell aho recommended a
change to a later edition of the physics
hook, of the same author, and the
school committee was .authorized to
make the change,; on Mr. Davies’ mo
tion. The change involves no expense.
Tnxaot’ Officer Wanted.
Mr. McConnell said that there was
more difficulty* about the attendance
expected at the opening this year than
ever before. The well would hide be-

hind the sick. He recommended that
a truant officer he employed at fi
monthly salary.
Dr. Beach moved that the hoard hire
a truant officer at the next meeting
at sls a month, apd this was carried.
Applications will now be in order. Dr.
Beach also moved that Cl. A. Morrison,
the state factory inspector and truant
officer for the second district, be ap
pointed trupnt officer for. the hoard,
and this was carried. This merely com
plies with the law, and a. local truant
officer will be appointed in addition.
The resignation of Mrs. Edna L.
Cook as teacher of history in the
eighth grade was received and accepted,
A special meeting will probably be
called to fill the vacancy, when appli
cations ’are received.
The report of the inspection of the
five steam boilers by the inspector for
the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection
and Insurance company was received,
and was unusually good. He found
little to unfavorably upon.
Fire Escape Required.
A letter from O. C, Alexander of
Bancroft, lowa, in ' regard to his can
vas fire escapes, and including a strong
recommendation from the stale fire mar
shal, Jxlward Feterson, was ready’.
The price has been advanced. The ma
jority’ of the board thought that an
iron fire escape would be better from
the third floor of the high school.
Mr. Davies said that the law’required
a fire escape from the three story
school buildings, and moved that the
matter of putting on a fire escape be
referred to the committee on property
and expense, with pow’er to act, and
this was carried.
Dr. Holbrook, chairman of the com
mittee on property and expense, said
that a large amount of work had been
done and that Die different buildings
were in better condition than they had
been in for many’ years.
Mr. Davies said that the front of the
Union building looks good, hut that
the sides and rear do not. He had a
bid of $75 for painting the exterior
of the addition and the rear of the
old part. The addition had never beyn
painted. He moved that the commit
tee have the balance of the building
painted to correspond with the front,
and this was carried.
Domestic Science Work.
Mrs. Koke asked whether it was in
tended to start the/work in domestic
science in the eighth grade or the
high school.
Messrs. Davies and Bishman favored
starting it in the eighth grade.
Superintendent McConnell said that
he had not matured his plans, but had
thought to follow about the same plan
as in manual training. He thought that
there ought to be one year’s' work in
tike high schoq) in cooking, and would
have this the first year in the high
school. It ought to be a credit
course, with two or three days’ work
a week and a half year credit. As
this is the first year, it might l>e ad
visable to make it elective for students
in the high school beyond the first
year, even to the exclusion of some
in the first year, so that they can
have the benefit of the instruction be
fore leaving school. There ought to
be sewing in the seventh and eighth
grades this year. Ope lesson a
in cooking in the eighth grade - would
probably be sufficient. •
Mr. Davies said that many never
go further than the eighth grade, and
for that reason thought it most im
portant that that grade have the in
struction. ,
Mr. McConnell thought that it should
be required in the grades, and that
manual training should be required in
the eighth grade. v
President Hughes said that he did
not want to cut out the seniors from
the benefits of the work.
Dr. Beach thought that the eighth
grade was the' proper place for it. Ke
would require it in the eighth grade
and allow as f many as possible in
the high school to take it this ’year,
givjng the z preference to the seniors.
It was the misfortune of those who
lucre .gone before if they, canibt gat
it.
He Wanted to Know.
Mr. Scherer asked how long this
course was to be. “Will the scholars
be taught how to make saner kraut
the first year, and angel food the sec
ond year?” he naked.
Superintendent McConnell and Mrs.
Koko coincided in believing that the
course ought to be two years, in the
eighth grade and the ( first year in the
high school.
The committee on property and ex
pense was ■ given ptweir to . purchase
a flag for the high school. ‘ -
Mr. Scherer said that he simply

wanted to know' when the saner kraut
stage was to he, and when the angel

Mr. Davies moved that the superin

was carried.

RIVER IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE
WANT LEGISLATION.
Meeting et Htmderaan Yesterday
Taken on Practical Way of
Reaching Beat Result.
From Tuesday's Dailv
A largely attended meeting was held
at Henderson yesterday of the Minne
sota river Improvement league. About
sevenay-tive delegates •were in atten
dance, representing most, of the thir
ty-four counties which it is sought to
enlist in the movement carried on by
the league. F. W. I.assow of North
Mankoto was the only representative
from this locality.
The meeting was mote practical in
its work th.in, any yet held, ami the
league bids fair to accomplish some
thing tangible became of the way it
is now going .at matter, ft was
decided to send circulars to alb persons
whose land has been damaged by the
overflow yf the river, and have them
state what their loss is and to present
this information at the next session of
the legislature. It is sought in this
pnd other ways to influence state and
national legislation for the improvement
of the rever and to secure the reim
bursement . of those who has sustained
loss.
Tax Those Benefited.
A proposition that was presented
and met with general favor was to
secure the'passage of an act by the
legislature, levying an assessment or
tax upon the Lind that is reclaimed by
county ditches, to reimburse the owners
of land that has been overflowed by the
high water, as the league attributes
the freshets of this year and the
past two or three years to the extra
water drained into the river from
the county ‘ ditches.
It is also proposed to work to secure
the improvement of the river to the
extent that it shall be made navigable,
so that freight boats can ascend the
stream.
Meet at New Ulm Next.
It was decided to hold the next meet
ing at New Ulm Sept.’29» and a month
later to meet at Shakopee, and pro-
Übly hold the following meeting in
Jmnkato. It, is hoped to get a,.special
train to New Ulm, so that the delegates
can go and return at ttye most con
venient hour, with the expectation that
there will be a larger
The league will carry on an active
campaign until desired legislation is
secured, ;• .
BROOKS COMMITTED TO JAIL
Arrested for Drunkenness, But May
Face More Sirious Charges.
From ThumAAy'a IMfTir.
A man giving the name of Fred Mil
ler was afternoon
on charge of drunkenness. He
is also accused of having gone some
crooked work,. He saul thajt he was
a farmer and lived n<?ar Eagle Lake,
and that ha Bad a in a barn.
In one. hip., pocket he, had a butcher
knife a]i<l>|, ptesl fl and he also had a
ijoor lock.. IV . ( ; JIU) .
This morning the. man told a different
story and said that his name was
Fred Brooks and that he lived at Wash
ington, lowa, and worked as a farm
hand when he got jobs. He pleaded
guilty to drunkenness and was sen
tenced to pay a fine of $lO and costs
or to be committed to the county jail
for ten days at hard labor. He was
committed.
It appears that Brooks yesterday
went’to J. A. Lewis & Son’s hardware
store and bought a door lock, saying
that he was working for George Atchi
son, and that the lock should be charg
ed to him. This was done, and then
Brooks went to Moore <St Tobin’s store
and presented the lock and represented
that he had bought it there, and said
that it was too large. • He’was Vi yen
another of the same make and 25
cents in change. Before loft this
store it is said that he stole the steel.
Where he got the butcher knife is not
known. It is a new one. It may be

From Thursday's Da fly.
Professor C. F. Bull of the Minne
sota Agricultural college was in Oma

a large exhibit from Minnesota at the
National Corn exposition*which is to
be held there December 9-19th. Pro
fessor Bull looked the buildings over

BEEF FOR THE INDIANS
TEN THOUSAND POUNDS WILL
BE SERVED REDS.
Sioux Will Not Lack for Rations at the
Minnesota Stats FalrJ Ton
of Delicacies. **
From Pally.
"TTeeoniing to reports from the state
fair grounds the cojirfag visit of the
300 Sisseton* • Sioux Indians who are to
jartieipate in the historical spectacle
“Fort Ridgely in ’(12” each evening of
the fair, is having a tendency to hull
the beef market in the midway sec
tion.
Although* the Sisseton Sioux are a
prosperous people z jnueh on the
tat of the land has not tended to dull
a naturally vigorous appetite. More
over, their journey to the state fair
and their exhibitions before admiring
thousands is to be in the nature of a
vacation trip and a glad, ‘good time,
and whatever other failings the Indian
may have his appetite is not ordi
narily reckoned among ' them. They
are, coming to the fair and they are
getting ready to eat.
Secretary (’. N. Cosgrove has his
several reasons for not wishing to
disappoint the government’s proteges
and the state fair's guests and he is
arranging' accordingly. The Sioux are
going to be fed and fed real meat and
plentj- of it. Contracts have been signed
to this effect.
Ij’o Godfrey, one of the midway sec
tion’s oldest citizens has given his
l>ond to deliver each day to the state
fair grounds, “on and after Wednesday,
August 26, 190 R, and until and in
cluding Sept. 5 thereafter two dress
ed beeves to weigh not
pounds, each” together with one calf,
one hog, two sheep and other trifles.
The Sioux are not getting much sal
ary for this engagement and they are
going to take it out in rations.
The beef, when it arrives nt the.
Indian village, will be hideless and
hoofless and prepared for the expert
carvers, hut otherwise it will be in
tact, so that the copper colored bucks,
squaws and papooses can walk up to
the chef in charge and order whatever
they want of the light meat or dark
meat, and can have it jerked, barbi
qued, boiled, fricassed or. done up iq
any style fickle taste demands.
• It is estimated that the Indian end
of the “Fort Ridgely” spectacle will
consume between 10,000 and 12.000
pounds of beef, together with a ton or
so of delicacies of the season during
the ten days the Sioux are on the
fair grounds, and no one will know
the cost thereof until the books of the
special commissary department in
charge have been audited.
WIND BLOWS FOR JACOBSON.
Straw Vote Taken Near Eagle Lake
Yesterday Afternoon.
From Tue-Mav’s Dally
The Lofton Fishing company has a
camp on the shores of Eagle lake. On
Sunday a party of eighteen enjoyed
the hospitality of the company. The
guests are residents of the Eagle Lake
country. During the day a straw vote
on governor was taken. There were
seventeen votes for Jacobson and one
for Johnson. The wind blows in favor
of Jacobson.
A well-known traveling man. who
was in Mankato yesterday, made the
statement that the western part of
the state was alive with enthusiasm
for Jacobson, and that the sentiment
over the state in favor of the election
of the man from Lac qui Parle was a
great deal stronger than he expected
to find it. The traveling man has been
an ardent supporter of Johnson and
he admitted that his favorite candi
date w T as up against a hard proposi
tion, and he had his doubts if John
son would be successful.
