Pitching into the Bureau of Municipal Research and hurling defiance at the Board of Estimate may not be the eeme of Solonic wisdom, but it at least points to an awakening of q@mergy and self-confidence that the Board has long needed.

Will this Board be so supine as to let the echools of New York City be controlled by a political body? The Board of Estimate ts a political body.

CATTERED through a huge expanse of Minnesota wilderness were a few beggarly settlements and trading posis, peopled vy white men end A half breed Indians—a bare six thousand folk in all, This was in 1850. A thriving territory with cities and big industries springing up as by magic and with \d , . a swiftly growing population of more than , Aid - 150,000. This was in 1867. <= In seven short years Minnesota's popula- tion had ineredsed over eight-fold. And with no gold craze (as in the case of California or Colorado) to account for it. This increase was one of the marvels of the century. The immigrants had come to carve out homes and cities and a livelihood—not to scramble wildly in a search for treasure. ‘They were the kind of men who could turn Hardship into Profit and make a community flourish by their very presence. Stubborn, resourcoful, feariess men they were. And they twd need of ail their qualities. For, Indian wars, financial panics and wholesale forest fires aid thetr best, from time to time, to crush the prosperity and the very life of the whole region. But each setback was met and conquered in a way to rouse @ nation’s wonder. © ‘The State takes its name from two Stoux words meaning “Sky Blue Water.” ‘When the Bast had for two centuries been open to clvitita- tion, Minnesota was still wilderness.

Even after Minnesota became part of the United States and had been ea- plored by Zebulon Pike aimost nothing was done to open it to immigratéom. Ite wondrous possibilities remained unknown. le was made a Territory in 189. At that time it was populated chiefty by Indiane—and tts white and sem!-white inhabitants numbered 4,87. Thea, at came the sudden, endless tide of immigration. And the wilds became Even the panic of 1857 could not stop the advance, And in 1868 the Territory was admitted to Statehood. While %,000 of Minnesota's able-bodied men were fighting in the Union armies in the civil war, one of the fiercest Indian uprisings in the history of the Northwest burst forth. For years there had been trouble between the Minne- ota sottlers and the savages on nearby reservations. ' Now, in the August of 1962, a number of Sioux war parties gathered along the frontiers for @ stretch of 200 miles and, at a signal, poured actoss tmto Minnesota, Unprepared settlements, villages and towns were attacked. Flame’ and tomahawk held high carnivat of horror. The best men were away at the war, The rest could nyt defend their women and children from the red wave For THe Prize. FIGHT Big tasks, however, need something more than the best executive bility. They need imagination, daring, authority. And these latter are often supplied from a eource that possesses little or none of the technical knowledge and skill necessary to carry echemes through ‘im detail When Ross Winans was commissioned to build a railroad from Gt. Petersburg to Moscow he asked the Czar what route was to be followed. The Onar called for « map, laid a ruler down with the edge touching St. Petereburg and Moscow, and drew a straight black line between the two cities. “Build it 90,” he said simply. And Winans, pet on his mettle by the cool confidence and cheek of thie order, Wrought miracles and moved mountains to carry it out as nearly as ‘ver he could. Left to iteelf the engineer’s eense would have followed x a sual devious path of least resistance. Now, in much the eame way, the finest schoo! system in the | world needs imagination, authority and confidence to stand behind Q ft and keep # running. A Board of Education should be concerned { # with concealing its own defects, cautiously taking its cues from |" executive subordinates, but in planning and pushing big j res for the executive to figure out and handle. sy) A bit of the Czar or the railroad president would be a fine thing “‘Waour Board of Bducation, A “declaration of independence” is at ————.¢ 2. * IF ALL WOULD SPEND ALL!
