Flather Recommends the Summer Sohool Manual.* Training Department. , toThe Course Is Valuable to Others Beside Those Who Would Teach. X, - That ancient problem of parents," "What shall we do with our boys?" is answered by Professor J . J . Flather of. the sta te university, so, far as concerns the publio school vacation. "Send your boys to the manual training department of the uni versity summer school," says Professor Flather. "Let the lads pound nails and their fmgers. Let the Uoys saw ana ham mer and punch and file. We'll keep them out of mischief, and they'll train their own hands and eyes. They'll also acquire a mechanical skill that will be of use whatever career they may choose in after life." The professor does not also ask that the girl3 be sent to his .department, tho he is prepared to entertain young ladies of many ages with his nippers and his planes. H e is even convinced that some girls can strike a nail upon the head The manual training cours-3, like other courses of the summer school, covers a period of six weeks. Students are taught to master the elements of carpentry, cabi net making and machine shop work. Th e course is both practical and interesting. The student is not.forced to plane boards merely forth e sake of planing. H e does not nail A to C in order to make X or Y . But from the beginning he does things that are quickly completed into a definite, useful and even ornamental object of per sonal or household use . H e mak es pen racks for himself, knife trays for. his mother. H e contrives experimental chairs for his sister's fiance. "So I think," said Professor Flather to day, "that we can entertain instructively any school boy whose parents wnt to keep him off the street or away un fortunate associates. W e have several such lads among our clas twenty-five I mean boys about 14 or 15. One of our little fellows last ye ar was expected to spendnhalofa f dayfour hourswith us and rest the day at play. But he insis- that our shops are open. An d last winter, his father tells me , that boy saved a con siderable' sum by doing all the repairing about the house. "Most students, of course, are teachers that want to learn enough of manual training to instruct pupils in the country schools. Last ye ar some of these teachers were women. One girl came off with so few scars and contusions that she is now a full-fledged teacher of manual training in 'northern Minnesota. Why, that girl could nl e a saw." AFTER TALK GAME ACTION Carrie Nation Delivers Address and Then Visits a Second Ave nue Dive. "I'm nothing but a piece of mud that the Lord picked up and threw at the sa nected loon," was the modest statement made by Mrs. Carrie Nation of Kansas in h espring r speech last night at the Y. M. C. A. build ing- "T he greatest law in the world," said Mrs. Nation, "is the prohibition law: "thou shalt not,' was the first law of God.. The grand old party is the prohibition party. I t was organized by God. JWhat makes heaven heaven? Prohibition. If it were not for prohibition, heaven would be sim ply hell. "The republican party is worse than the democratic party, because the republican party is in power. Th e government has become the most bitter enemy of the peo ple instead of giving them protection." Mrs. Nation said the days of smashing were over. - Last night Mrs . Nation drove down to visit the dives in Second avenue. Sh e rang the door bell at one house and an t nounced her desire to talk with the wo m men. Th e door was slammed in her face. Then she plunged thru a window, seized a woman around the waist, kissed her, and asked her to join in prayer. After prayer the Kansan expostulated with the woman for not being goad, with a policeman for allowing the dive to run , with a reporter for smoking cigarettes and. with an assis tant reformer, said to be a local Sunday school teacher, for "talking with those tarts."

Bridgman of Hamline Is Mentioned for High Honors. eigfroam M remainin s ****s thof e Friends Believe His Record at Ham line Entitles Him to Reward. Rev. Dr . George H . Bridgman, president of Hamline university for many years, is said to be a possibility as bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church. Dr. Bridgman is not understood to have formally announced that he is a candidate for this high honor, but among the people of the suburb in which Hamline university is situated it is currently reported that he would not only accept the honor should it be tendered him, but that he has allowed his friends to exert themselves toward se - curing the high position for him . These friends, with many who have known the doctor thru his successful presidency of Hamline, see in him. the material for an able bishop, a mart worthy so distin guished a place at the hands of so great a church. There has been talk for some time that Dr. Bridgman was a possibility for some thing different from the presidency of Hamline, in whose interests he has labored long and successfully. Rumor has con his name with various positions-in the church, but it-was not until this that it named/him as a candidate for the episcopacy. A t the close of school at Hamline early this month it was understood thatr^p^.'R would, go abroad all hi e plana naming' been made with such a trip hwiewv Indeed, com mencement at Hamline was held some what earlier than usual, that Dr . Bridg man and others of the faculty might get away''for a trip in Europe. Then came the report that the doctor's trip had been delayed, because he had been detained in the east in connection "with matters relat ing to his possible candidacy. I t is pos sible that rumor may have connected Dr . Bridgman's candidacy for a high position on a general conference board with the episcopacy, and that, instead of episcopal honors he is really to receive some other form of promotion. However, there seems o be no doubt whatever that Hamline a y lose its president to some high posi tion in the Methodist church's broader work. Dr. Bridgman has been for many years president of Hamline university. H e has seen it grow and has been largely instru mental in making it what it Is to-day in its influence in educational circles in the northwest. The student body has in But creased greatly in the past few years, the faculty has been enlarged, the equipment improved, and the institution has been well endowed. Th e record is one of which Dr. Bridgman's friends feel proud, and they would now feel that the church would be rewarding merit should it place Dr . Bridgman in some high positron if not in that of bishop, then in some other place commensurate with his abilities. ST. JEAN'S DAY OBSERVED French Societies Unite In a Big Picnic at Minnehaha Park. Hundreds of merry, picnickers celebrated St. Jean Baptiste day with an outing at Minnehaha yesterday. Members of the society of St. John the Baptist were most In evidence. Other societies which united in honoring the memory of the patron saint were the Nicollet and Henne pin courts of Foresters, Champlin camp of Woodmen of the World, the Ladles' Auxiliary, St. Anne's circle and the ladles' courts of Notre Dame and L'etolle du Nord. The presiding officers' of the day were E. J . L'Herault and the secretary, Joseph Faubert. A religious service at Ste. Anne's church pre ceded the outing, high mass being read by Bev.

''Minneapolis is trying to sell bonds on the worst^ possible market and that is doubtless the reason Why there were no bids for the bonds offered Yesterday," says E.- A. MerrJU, president of the Min nesota Loan and Trust company. "Had these bonds been offered a ye ar ago ," said Mr. Merrill this morning, "they woulci. undoubtedly have been sold, .at a premium or if they are held aye ar longer I am satisfied that the city will save a half per cent in interest and atyo avoid any possible effect upon the .credit of the city. -.- - - -&>. ' Eight men were in the building' when the fire started. One of them said that he heard the sizzling of the fuse of a giant cracker and the next instant there, w as an explosion,'\ - Alf the men made a da sh into the open' air and a few minutes later the interior of the building was. a mass of flame, smoke and exploding fire works. A n alarm was promptly turned in and a little later six streams of water were pouring upon the burning building. The origin of the fire is a mystery as extra precautions were taken. I t is thought, however, that one of the men may have stepped on a torpedo. .."' "If we reduce our credit by selling 4 per cent bonds It will be a difficult mat ter to raise . our credit. W e place our selves on the level of a i per cent interest city and do our city great harm. , - "The people must not forget that Min neapolis has been very prolific in bond issues. "Wheneyer any kiijd of' a. public improvement or institution has been pro posed there has almost instantly come a dema nd for a bond issue. "A month or so ago the school board sold bonds to the amount of $200,000. Then a few days ago the board of court house and city hall commissioners sold $250,000. No w the city proposes to sell a block of $815,000, composed of four is - sues as follows: -'Revolving fund, $350,000 permanent. improvement, $150,000 water works, $100,000, and bridges, $215,000. And there is yet to come $150,000 in bonds for an armory and $150,000 for an audi torium. This is an aggregate of $1,565,000 authorized for one year. For a city whose bonded indebtedness is as large as Min neapolis that is a big increase and while I do not say that investors look askance at the city, it would not be surprising if some of them did. "Another significant thingthe money of the city has been improvidently spent. While I have not an Intimate knowledge of the city's finances, certain matters have been called to my attention. For instance, I understand that the new Northeast pumping station will cost about two and a half times as mu ch as it would cost to have had the wo rk done by contract. A private concern which does business in this way would soon lose credit. I t is inevitable. The same. rule will apply to municipalities. A city that is heavily Indebted must also pay a high ra te of interest as any heavy creditor must do. "Improvidence and recklessness will not help the city's credit and it is more than possible tha,t if there had been more busi ness like management it might not have been necessary to sell any bonds at this time ."

Th e advanc es were small, however, until this morning, when the Minneapolis millers tacked on 20c a barrel all around. Th e rise is due primarily to the higher selling price of cash wheat, good milling wheat of the No. 1 northern grade selling this morn ing at 88c a bushel. Millers say that even at the higher prices for flour there is not much in flour from 88c wheat. The market is unstable Ja-nd the millers are not guaranteeing prices, yet It is the opinion in the trade that flour will hold up pretty Well in price thru the summer, and that prices are not likely to go very much lower, unless wheat should take a great fall. The bad fea ture of the situation" from the millers' viewpoint lies In the fact that if spring wheat flour goes too high, the Minne apolis mills area t a disadvantage against the competition of winter wheat mills. on the recent advanc es in spring wheat, the winter wheat prices have fol lowed along closely.
