i 5 o THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY 



The range is blessed with remarkably fine schools, in many instances 

 housed in elegant and costly buildings, where the children of aliens 

 appear to be eager to learn. In addition there are, in at least one town, 

 night schools for those adults who have free evenings. These latter, I 

 understand, are well patronized, and afford an opportunity, one would 

 imagine, for some educational work along these lines. In Hibbing 

 additional sewers are promised, construction to begin next spring, as 

 well as stricter enforcement of the ordinances regarding the removal of 

 manure piles, or the covering of the same. 



In conclusion, let me repeat what was said in the early part of this 

 lecture, that it is not intended by the above recital to stigmatize any 

 town or towns whose names may have been mentioned this evening, for 

 conditions very much as described may be found in many other places. 

 Circumstances, however, are such on the Iron Range at present as to 

 allow the typhoid fly to play a very important part in the lives of the 

 miners.
