The reason for the shori- age is a subject that is under dis- cussion in several counties of the state at present. Beltrami county wants seven teachers, Todd county needs ten and several counties in the northwest part of the state are unable to open schools because of a lack of teachers.

But teachers’ who could not possibly pass the examinations ‘for a first grade certificate are employed in most high schools of the state. They have grades from normal schools and thus get recognition This is nothing against them, either, but it does argue in, favor of the idea of Super-| intendent Young that the county superintendents should be allowed the privilege of issuing permits. po a AN clea In several exchanges that have! come this way of late there have been lamentations because of the fact that the anniversary) of the discovery of America by Columbus did not receive any particular at- tention this year.It is also point- ed out that this day is getting less consideration. as the years roll on. Maybe so, but if ‘tis so, what does it indicate? Simply this, that the | world does not like the halo with jwhich Columbus has so long been invested. Many of the ancient he- roes are not great when viewed now. For example, Columbus is one of these. He did not discover the sphericity of the globe. That doctrine was nineteen hundred Pythagoras, the famous Greek phil- osopher advanced that idea_ five hundred years before Christ. His discovery was rejected and — ridi- culed then and the little book which he wrote promulgating this sirange and revolutionary doctrine lay buried in the Greecian archives for centuries. It was so complete- ly rejected and forgotten that: until ‘that period in European history known ag the Renaissance, came along, it was hardly known. Then when Petrarch and the colleagues started to unearth Greecian thot, the book written by Pytha- goras was among the discoveries. Columbus, being ignorant, believed this and started out to get a chance to prove it. The church and state of that time so opposed the ridicu- lous doctrine that he was forth- with branded as crazy, anda lucky | | thing it was for him. If he had! not been deemed crazy he would | have been burned at the stake in (hd beginning of his career“as an explorer. The point is this. how- ever, that Columbus was an ignor- ant sailor and dfd not know any- thing of the philosophy on which the record of his acheivement is jbased.

Says a writer in “The Country Gentleman,” published at | Phila- delphia: z | “Minnesota knows how to adver- tise. The State Board of Immigra- tion of Minnesota is conducted by men who are going about the big work of settling Minnesota in a live way. The.Immigration board is'also an information bureau. it is run by men who are earn- estly endeavoring to attract the right kind of settlers. They are advertising the state's farm land as farm land—not as one-crop gar- fdens that reduce farming to the pleasant pastime of lotug eating and coupon clipping. Farming is represented as a business and not as an ideal form of recreation. “There are 19,000,000 acres of developed farm land in Minnesota and there are 27,000,000 undevelop- ed acres. There are 155,759 de- | veloped farms and room for the ; devel§pment of 165,000 more of the average area of 160 acres. The cost of these farm lands, you are informed, ranges from $5 an acre for wildland in Northern Min- nesota to $125 for improved land in Southern Minnesota. “These are alluring prices in view |of what some of the far Western states are advertising their land to be worth, Minnesota is not empha- sizing the high spots, which is the wisest policy. The immigration board has general statistics to offer but there are few suggestions. of the get-rich-quick variety. This- official advertising and _ boosting. Loard is located at St. Paul and it vrearns to get the ear of the land- seeker, There is no doubt that the gentlemen who conduct! the board have a lot of interesting in- formation on tap. “When a public service organiza— tion of this kind does not bear too heavily on the loud pedal it! is worth listening to.” | Clearing Up a Farm. C. A. Butterfield who purchased a farm north of Warba and moved onto it this summer is now doing vonsiderable work in the way of clearing. The land is near the bridge across the Swan river on the road between Bovey and Warba and was covered wilh timber a yea ago. Mr. Butterfield is now en-— gaged in, cutting thé timber and will drive the product to Warba @ chia later. | CAR Is the place to buy your Groceries, Fruits and Vegetables ‘Grape Wrest, 3 Oiigece 5 oS Apples, per peck.- Oranges, dozen.__._-...
