To the People of Willmar.
In the last issue of this paper
will be found a resolution adopted
by the board of education at its last
meeting. A resolution of this kind
does not always mean very much,
or, at least, needs to be explained
order to be fully understood. It
is for this reason that I append a
few explanatory statements regard
ing the proposition embodied in the
xesolutions.
I cannot here enter into any dis
cussion of the new movements in
education. Suffice it to say, that
'here is a general feeling both
among educators and the public
that our education has been too
bookish and purely academic to suit
the needs of present conditions,
/in educational system in order to
^o the most efficient service to the
community must touch somewhere
he actual life of the people. Now,
we are distinctly an agricultural
nd industrial people, for which we
ilight to be duly thankful, and our
educational system should touch in
vital way this important phase of
our life. That is the reason for
..his strong and universal movement
lor a more practical education.
A beginning was made this year
by introducing manual training and
a little sewing into the public
schools. These have proven both
successful and popular with pupils
and parents, and next year the plan
vas to begin agriculture and do
mestic science, of all sciences the
nost important to our physical wel
are. A much needed normal de
partment will also be established
"•or the purpose of preparing teach
ers for the rural schools. This is
practically wholly maintained by a
special state appropriation. All
these new departments require
"oom and equipment which need
to be provided, and it is with this
in view that the board of education
asks for the erection of a building
to be used for industrial and agri
cultural purposes.
It seems almost idle to prove the
needs of education for rural life.
Vocational training is no longer a
theory. It is an established fact.
For years special schools have been
training people for the learned and
technical professions.
Farming is a science, and special
agricultural training will put farm
ing on the same basis as other vo
cations in which the workers are

trained for their work. Such train
ing is now not only for the benefit
of the individual: it has come to be
a national necessity. J. J. Hill
says in a recent article on this sub
ject "Anyone who has studied the
growth and decline of nations, and
would read our own industrial fu
ture, must be convinced that in
struction in farm economy and man
agement should become an indis
pensible part of the educational
work of this countrj."
The special work in agriculture
in charge of a competent instructor
would include such subjects as,
Soils and tillage Farm crops and
rotation Selection of seeds Vege
table gardening Fruit culture Ag
ricultural botany Breeds of live
stock Fertilizers and drainage etc.
Experimental work would be con
ducted on a suitable piece of land
for that purpose.
Education should prepare, as far
as possible, for the real work of
life. Girls should be educated for
the work of the home. Our schools
have unfitted many girls for this
work. There is no greater accom
plishment than that of being a good
home-maker, and it is the aim of
the domestic science department to
give instruction and training in
this important art. The course
would include such subjects as,
Sewing and the study of textiles
Cooking and the study of foods
Household management Sanitation
Home decorations, etc.
So much for the educational end
of it. Now for the business end.
The cost of maintaining the pub
lic schools is about $18000, fully one
third of which is paid by the state,
so that only about $12000 is raised
by local taxes. This maintains the
plant consisting of five buildings
with equipment, pays the corps of
twenty-seven teachers, the services
of three janitors, and for supplies,
including all reading matter for one
thousand children. This also in
cludes the cost of permanent im
provements that have to be made
from year to year, such as laying
cement walks and installing new
heating plants. About $2000 were
spent for such improvements this
year. So efficiently and econom
ically have the financial affairs of
the district been administered by
the board of education that in spite
of considerable increase in the
school system, the tax rate for
from Stanley, N. D., is at present
visiting old acquaintances around
Georgeville.

The Minerva will hold its next
meeting on Sunday evening, Jan.
30. The literary program consists
of a recitation, Jossie Hoiseth
reading, Millie Amundson "Some
thing" by Arthur Hoiseth recita
tion, Mae Schultz. The question

poverty is the cause of more crime
than ignoiance." The affirmative
speakers are Mr. Miller, Mr. M.
Torgerson, and Lewis Larson, and
on the negative Mr. J. Y. Kramer,
Halvoison and Moik. We hope
that the speakers apn minted will try
to be present and s.lso that those
put on program will fulfill the duty
asigned them.
Olaus Sonstegard, from Brooten

The challenge debate between.our
Minerva and the Nev London liter
ary society will take place at the

ciety are Edward Sonstegard, Clar
ence Patchin, Olaf Sonstegaard,
who will uphold the negative. The
debate will surely be a very inter
esting one and everybody interested
should try to attend.
Mrs. J. P. Johnson has been on

Sensible Savings Talks.
—II—
Just about the best plan for saving money is to set as a mark a
certain sum to save in a certain time.
Then strive with grim determination to reach it Figure how
much of the income must be set aside regularly to do it.
Deposit this money in our Saving Department or on our Certificates
of Deposit which we issue any time in any sum from a dollar up.
Then when you have reached your goal you will have won a
thousand buttles. You will duplicate your achievement in less time
and with less effort. You will probably set your next mark higher.
Adopt this plan now, and bring in your first deposit.

school purposes has actually de
creased. It was less last year than
the aver.* ,?e for the last ten years.
Let me cite as an instance of this
managen ant that the cost of heat
ing the mildings has not increased
for ten ears, in spite of the fact,
that the new high school building
added nearly fiftj percent to the
space to be heated, and hence
should 1 we incret&ed the fuel bill
by about that amount.
It will cost something over $2,000
to mainain the manual training
and the domestic science depart
ments.
The la&t State legislature, recog
nizing the importance of a more
practical education, made an appro
priation to aid high schools in es
tablishing manual training, domes
tic scient and agricultural depart
ments bj providing two-thirds the
cost of maintenance up to $2,500.
This was first given to ten schools
but there is every reason to believe
that this policy will be continued
and additional funds provided for
this purpose to such schools as make
special effort, and show special in
terest. To maintain these three
departments would cost approxi
mately $3,600, but by getting the
special state aid, it would cost the
district only $1,200, or $800 to $1,
000 less than it would cost to main
tain two of these departments, man
ual training and domestic science.
From this it is very evident that
it would be a business proposition
for the district to get in line for
this special state aid by putting a
reasonable amount into a little
building for industrial and agricul
tural purposes. There will be such
competition for this aid that only
those schools will get it that have
made some special effort to merit
it. Erecting a building such as
the resolutions contemplate, will
not be an additional source of ex
pense to the community, as the in
terest on the bonds will be amply
taken care of by the additional state
aid of about $2,400. Willmar has
always been sensible and generous
in matters of education, and it is to
be hoped that the Board of Educa
tion will be sustained in their pro
gressive policy of providing for our
children facilities for an education
more suited to the needs of the
community, and in harmony with
the best ducational movements of
the time P. C. loaning.

Arthur J. Fisher in "Borrowed
Spectacles."
It depends upon the glasses.
Seen thru the glasses of sourness
and suspicion the butler is dishon
est, the unfortunate friend an im
poster, and the wife untrue. But
if viewed thru the spectacles of
kindliness and confidence the butler
is honest, the friend trustworthy
and the wife faithful. In "Bor
rowed Spectacles" Arthur J. Fisher,
the impersonator who appeared at
the Presbyterian church last Fri
day evening, succeeded admirably
in proving this contention. And
not only that, but what is better
still he proved that the way of the
hopeful optimist is the only way,
that only thru his glasses can we
come to find and understand and
appreciate those with whom we live
and labor. And because Fisher
helped us to see that, we are glad
he came, and we trust that he may
continue for a long time in his
good work.

"Why. I'm going to take the best

"You're not ngurin* on makin' an
actress or an artist or a stenographer

"No." laughed the daughter-in-law:
"I haxen't got that far along yet. But
why do you ask?"
"Well. I didn't know. It seems like
every woman's got to have a mission

in' she couldn't have what they call
a career and be a good woman at the
same time, but I've got a kind of an
old fashioned notion that the finest
thing on eaith is a good wife and a
good mother That's a career that's
higher than any man can aspire to and
the good woman who don't get up
to that level has missed something in
life.

to tackle. I've always had a belief
that there was more care necessary

It's a good deal the same difference
as there is between a post oak saplin'
and a rosebush. One can pretty
nearly take care of itself, but it takes
a lot of watchin" and a lot of trainin'
to bring out all the bloomin' beauty
of the other. When the Lord makes a
woman he plants within her the seeds
of some qualities that when thev grow
up and blossom form the main differ

them, but we know that they're thero,
and we also know that women are
more attractive, more lovely and more
lovable in proportion to the develop

Sometimes, the seed don't seem to have
fcprouted at all and then the woman
is pretty much the same as a man
Then, again, they spring up and grow
like a moon vine, and every man, no
