This policy, it has been charged, has done much to- ward weaning the growing genera- tion away from their home country and the land. Text books carefully compiled by, experts, generally used in American schools, are filed with facts, more or less accurate according to their vintage, concerning the commercial or manufacturing importance of great centers of population. Little or no attention has been given to argiculture, except in a general way or in cases where a particularly favored district, such as the valleys of the pacific coast, call for extend- ed mention. The home districts of the pupils have been passed ov- er in silence, as was necessary in a general work. The progressive policy inaugurat- ed by district No. 4 is the first step of the kind in the state, so far as can be learned, but will no doubt be followed generally. “Tt is’ pointed out that by giving the rising generation education on the advantages offered by Itasca ocunty, hundreds of po- sie ; tential farmers, now among the stu- ‘the limit on damages that may be) aks in the aatoois: at be: in- collected from culpable employers | duced to make their homes here, thus saving to the country its} greatest asset—its young men and i] Practically all the damage actions; “°°” Worri¢| the Governor.

It was found that the ; condition of the family was not as | stated, and that while poor, they were not in actual want. , The governor sent the litle girl a dollar bill. The Lion Grew Tame.

AS a con-| ! sequence, Mr. McLauhlin will buy additional acreage, as.he is anxious , to build up a large farm in the dis- trict he has chosen. Four other families are coming into the same district within the next thirty days. They are from near Davenport, Iowa, and Moline, Illinois, and like those already here, are substantial farmers, pre- pared to reap the advantages the country offers from the start. While the Splithand country is getting the bulk of the early arriv- als, it is by no means the only lo- cality which will add many families to its population this sprin. The country around Cohasset will receiv its share within the next fifteen or twenty days. Twenty families from Iowa and Illinois are scheduled to arrive there within the next two weeks. All of them come well equipped with stock and machinery The Wabina country will also get its share. Five families from the Moline district are due to arrive a thorough before March 15..All of these have purchased farms of 160 acres or over.
