Changes in School Laws Ranges for Minnesota Education
J W Olsen, superintendent of public instruction, urges four new laws for Minnesota education. Proposals include a teacher minimum salary, county boards of education, a state inspector of rural schools, and extended teacher tenure. He argues for careful adoption to avoid hurting poorer districts while improving overall schooling statewide. The discussion reflects broader reform ideas echoed by Minnesota Educational Association.

Modern Croesus a St Paul Man Richest in World
A Cosmopolitan magazine writer named Charles P. Norcross reports in January that Frederick Weyerhaeuser, a St Paul resident, is wealthier than Rockefeller Hill Morgan Leopold of Belgium and others. The piece traces his rise from a Wisconsin sawmill in 1864 to a vast timber empire, with forests owned and timber sales propelling enormous income.
