No. Sheet steel will rust just 300 per cent quicker than sheetiron a nd it doesn’t take a rust spot very long to work its way through, then in steel ranges there is trouble. Stove manufacturers know that almost every one believes thatsteel will last longer than iron and if steel costs less than iron why should they make any change. There is only one range made of sheet iron and the best of charcoal iron at that—the old stand-by, the Majestic. b t ma.y not be the cheapest. but it certainly is the least expenstve to operate. J.

CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS FOR TOWNSHIPS ARE COMING. First Rural High School in State To Be Established At Crooks- ton Experimental Farm. Sup’t Hoverstad of the Crooks- ton Experimental Farm this morning addressed the teachers of the Beltrami Summer School a System of Agriculture” The address was replete with pertin- ent suggestions for the better- ment of our present system of schooling children. Mr. Hover- stad said in part: “The system of education and the system of agriculture in northern Minnesota should be in harmony. The industry support- ing the population of a country should influence the character of the schools, and the schools should have an influence on the people and their work. Agricul- ture is the one prominent.indus- try in northern Minnesota. At present more system must be introduced into farm practice. The single ctop system will dis- appear and the diversified. will take its place. The rotation of crops will consist of grains, grasses and cultivated crops. The growing of grains alone will bring two results. It will re- duce the fertility of the soil and it will encourage the noxous weed. These two great objec- tions will be overcome by the in- troduction of an intelligent rota- tion. Owing to the limited mar-’ ket of hay and the forage crops it will be necessary to make the farm a manufacturing establish- ment so the crude products can be manufactured into beef, mut- ton, butter, cheese, eggs or other animal products which the mar- ket is always willing to buy. The starting point in this rotation is the introduction of live stock. The system of education to be in harmony with country life in northern Minnesota will neces- sitate a change in present plans. The district school system has served a very useful purpose,and the country school and its teach- ers are not given the credit they are justly entitled to. The sys tem will necessitate a longer per- iod of training but the period of ning need.not necessarily be separate and distinct from the period of performance. The two should go hand in hand. The first years of a child’s life is the character forming period. This should largely be under the guidance of the parents. Better educational opportunties should be given the childrenin their homes. A home kindergarten could he made a practical thing. Parents should spend their time now in teaching even if some of the work now being done in the homes would have to be done by other agencies. The consolidated rural high school will sooner or later take the place of the district school. Here the pupils will have better trained teachers, better build- ings, better appliances and in many other ways be an improve- ment over the district system. The consolidated schoo! will be an _educational center for the township where both young and old will receive educational ad- vantages, The new departure will be the rural high school. The first of these will be established in con- nection with the Experiment Farm at Crookston. Though the effortsjof Senator A. D. Stephens of Crookston, and Representative B. Bennett of Fosston funds were provided for the erection of one building. This school will be the next step succeeding the rural school. 1In this school tke industrial and the intellectual training should go hand in hand. Every student should be re- quired to work a part of the day in some useful employment. No more should be admitted than can be given practical work.

The excursion to Hibbing to- morrow will be patronized by a large number of people from the north line towns, especially from Blackduck and Tenstrike. This morning there were at least 25 persons arrived in Bemidji from these villages who expressed themselves as intending to take the trip to Hibbing.

The degree team of the local Modern Woodmen lodge return- ed this morning from Turtle River, where last night they in- itiated six new members to ‘the Turtle Riverlodge. The mem- bers of the team reporta very enjoyable time. time but the product of the work should belorg to the institution. In this way the expense will be light both to the students and the state. Only a part of the day should be devoted to work. The rest of the day should be devoted to class room work where the ordinary school branches and those related to ag- riculture and domestic economy are studied. The intellectual culture in this school will be similar to that in other schools. The industrial training will prove of special value in developing good habits. To de- velop a good farmer and a good citizen is the object of the institu- tion. g IDIEST TOOL EVER MADE Ten Tools in One, Only $2.00 Agents Wanted THE HAN| Hatchet, Hammer, Wire Cutter, Wirc Splicer, Screw Driver, Gas Pliers, Nail Puller, Leather Punch, Staple Puller, Alligator Wrench.

Sheriff Louis Gonyea of Polk county was in the city yesterday on his way to Northome, where last night he subpoenaed J.- C. Sharpsteen, justice of the peac and C. N, Cannon, village max- §ha.ll, at Northome, as witnesses for the state in the case against Theodore Larson, the self con: fessed murderer of Nels Nelson to Crookston. Sheriff Gonyea returned to Bemidji this morn- ing in company with the wit- nesses and left this afternoon for Crookston, where the prelim- | inary examination of Larson will take place Monday. Sharpsteen is the justice of the peace who acknowledged Larson’s confes- sion and Mr. Cannon is the man to whom Larson gave himseif up. Larson now claims that he was not in his right mind when he made the confession: According to his confession he killed Nel- son on Nov. 56, 1903, but it has developed that Nelson was mur- dered about a month earlier,” It has been found out, however, that Larson was at Crookston at the time of the murder, and wit- nesses will be introduced to. show that he was seen in company with the murdered man about the time of the killing. He was em- ployed by a lumber company operating in the vicinity of Northome in the month of July, 1903, but went away and re- mained ! absent from the camp until November. Band Meets at 7:30.
