The Pioneer has several times adverted to the need of better protection in Minnesota from acts ofthelawless, Recenteventshave terribly emphasised this-need and give point to the following suggestion for a state police sys- tem as outlined by the Mankato Free Press: “The bill authoriz- ing this step is reported to be al- ready in process of preparation. It purposes the deputizing of crews of railroad trains as state policemen, giving them ‘the power of arrest anywhere within Minnesota. The railroads are said to be back of the measure, and while it might give them more power of protecting their own rights, the public at large, it isurged, would benefit by the system. “In cases like the recent freight car murder, near Elk River, Minn., the Columbia Heights murder, and in fact other cases where perpetrators of crime escape by stealing away from the scene of their offense on freight trains, it is claimed the state police would be of great assistance to municipal authori- ties. “The system would give mem- bersof train crews the right to arrest suspicious characters found beating their way on trains, The trainmen, it is planned, would be constantly in touch with city, town and village authorities throughout the state and would be powerful aids in It is declared by supporters of the measure that a similar law in New York has worked to great advantage. The need of sucha law ir Minnesota is apparent. running down criminals. State High School. The eleventh annual report of George B. Aiton, -inspector of the state high schools, is just issued and contains a variety of interesting information concern- ing the high schools of the state and anumber of valuable criti- cisms and suggestions for the future. The total number of high schools in the state is 162 and the number of studerts is 18,622, the proportion of boys and girls being as 7to 11. Theincrease in the number of high schools has been rapid under the careful supervision of the state high school board, the total number of schools about four years ago being but 100. All of these schools employ a superintendent whose qualifica- tions must be such as-are set by the state board and one of whose most important functions is the care of the grades preceeding -| the high school. Mr. Aiton notes that increasing care and atten- tion is being given to this work with the result that the high school work is steadily improv- ing in character. An encouraging feature noted in the report is the fact that the proportion of graduates to stu- dents in the high schools is rap- idly increasing, showing that more and more of the young people of the state remain in school for the full course. Minnesota’s high- schools are the pride of the state and the ad- miration of other states.

W. G. SCHROEDER “THE problem of the valley is not the severity of the weather,” says the Crookston Times, and its remarks are as applicable to this section as to the Red River Valley, *‘but the drainage of the lands and the diversity of the crops. The water does much more damage than the frost. The peculiarly hopeful thing about the present November, is the fact that the ground has frozen up withno water in it. If there are no floods in the spring, the farmers will be able to get their crops in early. This condition ought to prevail in all seasons, and would> if the farms were properly drained. When drain- age is an accomplished fact, di- versity of crop will: bring the millenium to the valley farmer.” NORTH b EROM | COUNTRY THE LMMM It was a dear season. —0— Brainerd begins to talk base ball.
