THE fact that the population of Minnesota has increased but 7.65 during the past five years while during the same period the high schools of the state have doubled in number is a noteworthy fact. How has it come about that there has been such a tremend- ous stride forward in education? Partly without doubt by reason of the fact that the common- wealth is older and has more time to think of the refinements oflife. But the most powerful reason has been the notable sys- tem of educational supervision which has been in force in Min- nesota during the pastten years. Minnesota has a state high school board which has the distributinv according to conditions which it may lay down, of the annual ap- propriation made by the state for education. This appropriation now amounts to nearly four hundred thousand dollars annual and it is given to high schools, graded schools and rural schools which comply with the require- ments of the state high school board. Naturally the schools of the state are anxious to secure this aid. Therefore the state high school board has been able to wonderfully raise the standard of education in Minnesota and to wonderfully increase the number of high schools, schools which are most properly termed the people’s college. Minnesota should be proud of its record in education. No other ' state in the Union has been akle to do so much in the past ten ! years. THE Pioneer’s news service is unexcelled in northern Minne. sota. Its local service is equalled by no paper in this part of the state while its telegraph service is the daily Associate@ Press summary of the world’s events. The Pioneer does not attempt to give the telegraphic news with | the completeness o: the big city ‘ | daily but it does announce every news event of importance in the world and announces it from twelve to eighteen hours earlier |than any other paper which reaches the people of north cen- tral Minnesota. The first tiding of the beginning of the war was brought to the people of this part | of the state by the Pioneer. The | definite announcement of peace, with the exact terms was giyen last night by the Pioneer ‘twelve | hours before it was furnished by any other paper. And every |event of the war between these two has been first read by the people of northern Minnesota in the Pioneer. Japan’s Backdown. I1 15 TOO soon to judge the ef- fect of the terms of peace as agreed to in principle by the Russian and Japanese envoys at Portsmouth and announced last eyening in the Associated Press despatches. At first sight it appears that Japan has given up everything she contended for at the begin- ning of the peace conference with {the exception of the bare casus belll. Indemmty, the 1sla ¢ Sakhalen, the surrender of in- terned ships to Japan, the limita- tion of the Russ naval power in the far east, bhese are the things, next to the removal of Russia nin- fluence in Korea and Manchuria, that most nearly concerned Japan. Andall these things it appears she has surrendered. We cannot believe that this is actually so. full scope of the peace terms we shall find that Japan has simply agreed to a compromise, If Japan has actually yielded at all these points she is discredited in the eyes of the world;her diplom- acy is a poor, weak thing, her courage a pitiful pretense, her manhood a miserable make be- lieve. What Japan asked was not too much for a nation forced to war and completely victorious to ask. To ask, or accept substantially less would be cowardly, the act of a weakling, WO O R ey BITSINORTH § T'# & | COUNTRY 4 Amm.&.&:&j The hen’s the thing!
