Statistics show that only one child{years to come. out of fourteen in the school systems of the United States evér reach the high school. Ninety per cent of Am- erican children must. acquire their education before they are fourteen years old. In recent years attempts have been made to remedy this situation some-. what by shortening the terms of ele- mentary and ‘“‘grammar school” stud- ies and introducing studies that for- merly were exclusively part of the high school curriculum. Years ago it used to be thought that it took the average child eight years to learn arithmetic, reading, writing, spelling and a smattering of history and geography. This idea has been thrown to the discard, how- ever, for it has been found that the elements of these studies can be learn- ed in less than half that time. The ““three R’s” are learned in the elementary grades. Considering that so great a proportion of children quit school after the grammar years have been passed, it is extremely worth while that the grammar school sys- tem be bettered. Employers com- plain that children coming to them from the public schools are frequent- 1y unprepared in the very elements of education—flimsy information, in- ability to write or spell or figure ac- curately, and bad memories. The facts are, however, that these ele- ments werc learned in the first years at school, but a leakage has come in the later years. But things are improving rapidly. -Educators have felt the sting of business men’s criticisms to advan- tage, and every year the grammar school child is being turned out with a more workable education. Consid- ering the disparity between numbers, this is of more importance to the state than super-excellent high schools. “Important News From Outside. Here is positive proof of good times and the success possible for an ar- ticle of honest value, when backed by good advertising in the right news- papers. If there has ever been any ques- tion in the minds of our readers re- garding the productjveness of the Fioneer as a business building me- dium, that question is settled defin- itely now. ‘We have just received a big con- tract for advertising space from the Calumet Baking Powder Co., manu- facturers of the famous Calumet Paking Powder. Year after year-at this season, they make their contracts with the leading publications. ‘I'ney advertise in thousands and thousands of news- papers throughout the country and are in a position to know the value of newspaper publicity. The absolute purity, the unques- tionable wholesomeness and wonder- ful economy of Calumet Baking Pow- der, all backed by honest advertising in the right mediums has succeeded in building for them a iremendous business and enviable reputation. This year Calumet advertising will be very much different than any of the pre- vious years. Onme. of the country’s Dbest character artists has created for Calumet a cute little character which will amuse the youngsters and teil the housewives in his own individual way, how to secure the best results in baking. i!*fifk#iiiliii#i## % EDITORIAL EXPLOSIONS lli‘l{ii***ilfiiit Harvey Grimmer was supposed to have beén endorsed for marshal.at a private meeting of part of the state committee about two years'ago, but now it is claimed someone has remnég- able pledg Tor a watch cha tle Falls Herald. —— The Redwood Falls Gazette recently reported a wedding a week before it occurred'and has been kept busy ever since explaining matters. The inci- dent brings sad recollections to us of the time a number of years ago when the Region recorded a birth three days too soon.

They are jealous of each other, as they all want to be governor or want to hold some state office, state senator or some- thing else. It is time for these men to quit and give other men a chance.

The crew that achieved these victories was from Duluth, and Minnesota in general and Duluth in particular, are justly proud of their athletic oarsmen. They broke all former National association records, and set a pace that will be hard -to follow, and may not be equaled for Minnesota is a great state, and the more you know about it the greater it gets.—Laporte News. BOOKS SHOULD BE GIVEN GOOD CARE Listen, little boys and girls, books have feelings. Books are just as much in need of kind treatment as is every little boy or girl. Books don’t like bumps because bumps break their backs and make bindings come loose. Books don’t like to be handled by dirty hands. And if little boys and girls turn pages of books with tongue-moistened fingers or thumbs Twin City Motor SPEEDWAY 500-MILE RACE Saturday, Sept. 4th $50,000 Purse Ouly 2-Mile Concrete Track in The World ‘World's Fastest Drivers Will Compete Speedway Located Between Minneapolis and St. Paul Get Your Tickeis From Your Hoine Town Druggia TVIN CITY MOTOR SPEEDWAY CO.

Sometimes a little lecture helps. But it's hard to scold the little folks, for*they don’t mean to do wrong; they simply forget,” sald Miss Mills.
