because said alleged molders of public
opinion do not take kindly to having
brace of so-called normal schools sup
ported out Of bankrupt state treasury.
Brother Dunlap is so unkind as to intl-
mate that the dwellers in these parts
are unfriendly to the "hiah eddycashun"
of the masses But in this the T.-R. map
labors under three.ply hallucinatlon.
The people OF the Missouri Slope-as the
editor ought to know, for he used to live
here-are a-hunger and a.thlrst after
both Righteousness and knowledge.
Our esteemed contemporary prints let
ter from Prof. Mcfarland, one of the
young men who travelled around the state
last summer harvesting institute fees and
huth, in which the professor demon
stratss clearly that the Valley City nor.
NAL school is good thing-for Valley
City. But it is shown by Prof NcFar-
land Is own figures that nearly one.half of
the pupils attending the school live in
Barnes county. And yet Barnes county,
with sixty'six pupils, pays no higher tax
rate to the state than Emmons county.
with one pupil.
Prof. Mcfarland also makes much Of
the fact that, IN divers and sundry couu-
ties Of the state, certain youths who have
attended the normal two or three months
or more are teaching school; but hs fails
to furnish statistics az to the number Of
normal alumni who are yet washing
dishes and walloping pots. There are
great many teachers in the state
who have never attended either of the
normal schools, and who, strange az it
may appear, seem to be giving satisfac-,
ton to those who employ them.
States, like individuals, should adapt
their expenses to their income. North
Dakota has a debt limit that has already
been reached. Expenditures must be cut
IN some direction, and the Record hopes
| that when the cutting begins the twd
normal schools and the nsighborheod
snap at Grand Forks known as "The
State University" will not be forgotten.

Ing money, there would be less need of
close economy; but taxes are already too
high. and, even with the high taxes, there
are very fow country districts in the state
that have as many months of public
school as, in Justice 10 the children, they
should have; and the rate of wages that
many country districts are able to pay to
teachers is unreasonably low.
No. Brother Dunlap, the Record IS not
opposed TO ''higher educatlon;" but the
state high-school idea has been exploited
beyond the needs of the people-as yet4s

The Extenslon oa the Corn Bold.

The Extension Of tho Corn Bolt.
E. V. Smallsy in Northwest Magasine:
l had talk lately with Gov. shortridge,
Of North Dakota, en- the steady extension
Of the corn belt northward, which is =
marked feature Of agriculture IN Mn.
nesota and North Dakota. He advanced
the old theory, so perslstently held by
pioneer settlers IN the face Of scientific
denial, that the climate ls changing and
the growing seasons lengtbenlng, lnslsts.
ing that within his knowledge corn ls
raised regularly now IN regions where
1t was impossible to mature 1t when he
was young man, on account Of early
frosts. Now, the cllmatologists do not
admit that any permanent changes IN
climate have taken place since the hrst
occupancy by white men of the American
continent, and they have the figures Of
temperature and rainfall to back up their
assertions. The explanation Of the exten-
sion northward Of the corn belt will
no doubt be found IN changes IN the
habit of the corn plant, which adapt it to
Its environment and perfect the growing
ear in time for it to escape the frosts that
sometimes come in the latter part OF
August and the hrst part of September.
Every living thing seeks to perpetuate
Its species, and this law applies 10 plant
life as we'll as to animal life.

Economy Al Bismarck,

The universal opinion seems to be that
an economical administration Of North
Dakota affairs will not only be eminently
proper, but is absolutely necessary to the
welfare of the state. The finances are at
about the lowest point possible with de-
cent governmsnt-lf they have not sunk
below that mark; and it ia evident that
any successful attempt to supply support
to unnecessary officers or subordinateG
will meet with prompt objection when
the people get chance to register an
opinion. ~

marks on this topic in Thursday's Argus:

OF the state at heart.
The law provides that certain officers
