$2 2 AL 1253 2-,, ,, K, :1-JJ l Rkyf PROGRESS OF MINNEAPOLIS ROM 21 little country Village in 1853 to a great Metropolis in 1928. That is the progress of Minneapolis. It is at the present time the wholesaling, retailing, manufacturing, distributing, educational, and cultural center of the Northwest. Within the boundaries of Minneapolis is the ninth Federal Reserve bank. Besides this there are nineteen national banks, seventeen state banks, four trust companies, and two savings banks. The school system in Minneapolis is one of the best in the country. It has one hun- dred and eight public schools and a university besides a main library with twenty branches and fifteen stations. It also has one hundred and thirty-one parks, thirty- three hospitals, sixty-five theaters, and ten lakes. Minneapolis is a city without slums and it ranks first among the largest cities of the United States for the least illiteracy, its percent being one and two-tenths. It is no longer necessary for Minneapolis people to go to France, Italy, and other European countries to see art as we have two of the finest art collections in the world, the Minneapolis Art Institute and the Walker Art Gallery. The Minneapolis Art Institute is something we should all be proud of as it ranks high in the worlds institutions of art. In it are the works of some Eastern, French, Egyptian, American, English, and Japanese artists. T. B. Walker, one of our most prominent citizens, has one of the best private col- lections in the world consisting of fine art pictures, antique pottery, old coins, and rare tapestries. The building is very picturesque as it is copied after fifteenth and sixteenth century architecture. Just recently there has been added to our city a great conventional building, the new municipal auditorium. This will make it possible to have not only state and county conventions but national conventions as well. The main room has a seating capacity of fifteen thousand six hundred. Besides the main room there are many other small rooms and one of these is equipped to show motion pictures. It is here where the new hundred thousand dollar organ is installed. The city of Minneapolis has just received another new addition, the Minnesota theater, which has just been completed. The theater is one of the Five largest in the United States. When we think of the progress and changes the last seventy-five years have brought us, we cannot imagine what the next seventy-five years have in store for this wonderful City of ours.

SON G REATH of fading Howers In scented, golden air, Sky of fairy colors Scintillating there A city is at resting For the day no more is bright, Dusk has slowly settled Nlerging into night. Purple evening coming, Golden sunset gone, Amber moon is gleaming, In the heavens, lone, Homelights now are kindled, Fires begin to glow, Comes a Heeting bird,s song Calling soft and low. Sun and dawn and glorious light, Hearts begin to sing, Gone the blackness 0f the night, Dawn! new hopes to bring. Twilight, eve, and dawning Silver, purple and rose Not mere change of night or day But moreeto him Who knows! eRUTH RAUCH, 9B H31
