I 3 0307 00055 5675 -This booklet is dedicated to all the employees ofthe Department ofHuman Services, past and present, whose many years ofservice to the Department have helped improve the lives ofMinnesotans. April 15, 1998 1 Preface The work of the Department of Human Services has a long history in Minnesota, dating back almost to the inception of statehood. From the opening of the State Institute at Faribault in 1863 and St. Peter State Hospital in 1866, to the development and implementation of such programs as MinnesotaCare and the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP), the Department has helped millions of Minnesotans and their families in need. The origins of the Departments programs almost exclusively began with the history of institutions in this State. Over the years, programs have evolved, taking form under the auspices of each successor; the State Board of Correction and Charities in 1883, the State Board of Control in 1901, the Department of Social Security in 1939, the Depart­ ment of Public Welfare in 1953, and finally under the name of the Department of Human Services, in 1983. Regardless of the title, the charge has remained steadfast, to serve the citizens of this State. This booklet provides a glimpse of our Department and its activities over those many years. Much of the content pre-dates the current employees of the Department, and it is therefore, by nature, limited to what human recollection and documentation still exists. Let this booklet serve as a reminder to us that as we move through the everyday motions of our tasks, we often make history, though at the moment we may not recognize this fact. This booklet is a timeless project, rather than a timely one, as history continually evolves and takes shape. All employees of the Depart­ ment, as well as the Department as an entity unto itself, have some "ownership" of this document. Over the years, as this work is expanded, it will hopefully grow in scope and be our legacy to the many future generations of employees of the Department of Human Services. 3 I 84 9 Except for private agency I864 School program estab­ activity, all care for children lished as Institute for Deaf, is the responsibility of local Dumb and Blind (changed units of government. name in 1902 to Minnesota Dependent minors may be School for the Blind and in bound-out (an 1940 to Braille and Sight Governors ofMinnesota indenture program).

  • Results of Elections Attorneys General 1857
    RESULTS OF ELECTIONS OF ATTORNEYS GENERAL 1857 - 2014 ------- ※------- COMPILED BY Douglas A. Hedin Editor, MLHP ------- ※------- (2016) 1 FOREWORD The Office of Attorney General of Minnesota is established by the constitution; its duties are set by the legislature; and its occupant is chosen by the voters. 1 The first question any historian of the office confronts is this: why is the attorney general elected and not appointed by the governor? Those searching for answers to this question will look in vain in the debates of the 1857 constitutional convention. That record is barren because there was a popular assumption that officers of the executive and legislative branches of the new state government would be elected. This expectation was so deeply and widely held that it was not even debated by the delegates. An oblique reference to this sentiment was uttered by Lafayette Emmett, a member of the Democratic wing of the convention, during a debate on whether the judges should be elected: I think that the great principle of an elective Judiciary will meet the hearty concurrence of the people of this State, and it will be entirely unsafe to go before any people in this enlightened age with a Constitution which denies them the right to elect all the officers by whom they are to be governed. 2 Contemporary editorialists were more direct and strident. When the convention convened in St. Paul in July 1857, the Minnesota Republican endorsed an elected judiciary and opposed placing appointment power in the chief executive: The less we have of executive patronage the better.

  • FJ Bruce Larson -BL
    Francis A. Johnson Narrator Bruce Larson Interviewer July 24, 1973 Francis A. Johnson -FJ Bruce Larson -BL BL: First of all you mentioned that your father was born in Sweden. I'm just wondering what he may have told you about those years in Sweden. Do you remember anything in particular? FJ: Well, he often mentioned about his father, who was a sea captain on that large lake, Lake Vanern, largest lake in Sweden, and that he was gone for a month at a time. In other words, it took a month to make a trip, the trip that he made on the lake. Of course, his mother died when he was twelve, I believe, and his father died when he was seventeen. Then he went to work in the Liljedal Glassworks in that town... BL: Do you think his political thinking was influenced by his experiences in Sweden? Had he ever mentioned that? FJ: Well, not so much from his early life in Sweden, I think he was nineteen years old when he left there, but his life was molded mostly after he come to America. With cutting wood on the farm and hauling it twelve miles to the county seat to sell it to get money to live on, he used to organize the wood haulers to get a better price for their wood. And they would wait til late in the day to sell their wood, holding out for a better price. Then, of course, they'd have to unload it and go home whether they got a better price or not.
