The amount ask- ed by the normal boards was about $2,000,000 for the six nor: mal schools for the biennium. The amount they will get i $1,422,955. ! The educational institutions of the state seem to have| come under the knife of the legislature specially heavy this| term. The University of Minnesota asked for between nine and| ten million dollars for its two-pear period. It was given five | million dollars by the legislature. “Both in the case of the nor-| mal schools and the university the budgets were carefully pre- pared by those whose knowledge of the needs of the institu- tions could not be questioned and the budget8 were kept down | as low as efficiency would warrant, What may we expect then, when these appropriations are cut in two?

The committees on education, in the na-| tional government, point out, that in the United States there are| at present 3,200,000 white illiterates and 2,180,000 negro il-| | f fions cannot read or write any language, Three and a half| millions cannot speak or write English. { These men estimate the financial loss to the nation as 4 re-| sult of illiteracy alone is $825,000,000 annually. The director of mines recently showed that out of a mil lion men employed in the mines, 620,000 were foreigners and} 460,000 could not speak English. Ofe-half of the industrial! accidents that occur annually are attributed to illiteracy. | » Bétween 25 and 30 per cent of the first draft in the recent| war were physically défective and it is insisted that 90 per cent of the defects could have been removed by intelligent training as to hygiene and simple diseases during childhood. Of the total draft, 700,000 were illiterate. These facts are startling and should shock our national conscience. | The average pay of all teachers in the United States does| not exceed $650 per year. One hundred thousand are less| than 20 years of age, 30,000 have only a grammar school edu-| cation and 200,000 have less than a high school education. In the face of these facts, we cannot well afford to econc- mize on education, the pivot upon which our national progress turns. Our children are worth more than all the blue ribbon hols.teins, duroc-jerseys and Rhode Island reds in the country,! yet it seems to be easier to get some of our legislators enthused! over appropriations for thorough-bred cattle, hogs and hens than over blue ribbon boys and girls. Millions upon millions of dollars aré being spent by us| upon things every year, much less valuable than the education| of our boys and girls. We could well afford to stop spending much of our money on many of the non-essentials and eventu-| ally we would be much better off individually and nationally, | and our children would come into the heritage that is their due. We must not economize on education. O LIEUTENANT RALPH D. GRACIE | Honors, befitting the hero that he was, were shown Lieut.| Ralph D.

Dame Fashion has been having a confab with Father Neptume and the net result is decidedly, “fishy."” One of them is the mermald frock. which is a close-fittifg affair entirely composed of pailettes which overlap one another in the approved fish-scale style. These pailettes are of irides- cent shades of silver, green and blue. No trimming or ornament of any kind is worn with the frock and corsets are doffed so that the sinuous mer- mald effect is complete. A Another fishy fad is the girdle composed of painted sea-shells. With this is worn -a headdress of similar design, or, maybe, of tinted pearls. For those whose systems cannot as- similate too much sea-beeze, a few | Hawailian modes have been thrown in. The one which is lkely to ex-| |cite most comment is the Hawaiian| skirt.

In the early days | of the republic:[xrds of bullaloes were found as far east, as Pennsylvauin, ' ! 'when they roamed south as far as! | Georgia and nor{h into western New | York. Thus the. city of Buffalo was | named after this animal. In’ the later | years of the Eighteenth century thelr | habitat extended from the Susque- | hanna to the Sierras, There were mil- | lions of these noble animals in the Mis- | i sissippi valley and on the broad piains. | They also, pastured in the valleys of the mountains and were quite plentiful | in Utah and Idabo. < Remarkable Cork Oak Tree. | Standing on-the edge of a cotton field 2 half mife north of Daphne sta- tion, west of Cordele, Ga., is undoubt- edly the largest specimen of cork oak In America, says the American For- :estry Magazine.
