The first paper on the programme

ester collegeyon .'The Cultivation Of tn .
Ideal in College Education" Prof
Johnson said educators were recogniz-
ing the importance Of higher and loftier
ideals in college life, although every year
brought new ideas h the educational
field: the intellectuaI growth Of the
teacher and seholaf alike was often
governed by Old and tried precepts.
The conditionsspf the times, however,
had a great deal to do with the educa-
tors and collegezmenl 1t has been said,
before understanding an author per-
fectly we must understand the times
in which he ~ lived. Tradition was
strong, but he hoped, In the future, edu-
Gators would give the cultivation of
high ideals a more important place in
the curriculum of their schools. Prof.
Johnson also stEongly. advocated college
sports and college athletics. as it was
a fact that some of the greatest men
the world had ever seen had been great
athletics, and the men capable of the
greatest undertakings were the men of
physical strength. Plato dwelt upon
the Importance Of physical culture in
the public schools. He thought that
any school was weak which did not
provide department for college sports.
Prof. w. E. Thompson, of Hamiine,
led the discussion on Prof. Johnson's
paper. There was little difference of
opinion upon the points involved in the
paper: A number taking part in the
discussion thought that in the instruc-
ton given in the college OF today there
was a strain Of higher ideals running

Consider Him.

The associated boards of high schools
held their first meeting yesterday in
Room Is of the high school building.

reading of the minutes and the APP
pointment of a committee on creden-
tails, which consisted of A. B. Douglas,
Moorhead; ]. j. Fulkerson, of Roches-
ter, and c. W. Paige, of Dawson. S.

open discussion by delegates from Nor
ris. Owatonna, Cannon Falls and Alex
aEdria.
Superintendent Virgil G. Curtis read a
very interesting paper on the question
''Truancy." Superintendent Curtis said
in part: "The bad boy of America has
no counterpart in any part of the
world. In Europe the youth is docile
and respectful, in Asia and Africa
childhood is at least in keeping with
it's surroundings, but the bad boy of
America is an anachronism; he is a
savagery growing up in the midst Of
civilization, impiety hooking at re-
ligion, lawlessness whistling defiance
to law and order and license masQuer-
aiding in the costume of liberty. His
language is slang and profanity and
his amusement violence, his education
is blank and his name terror to the
society. What shall be done with them
is the burning question of the hour.
Philanthropists, reformers, humanitar-
ians and statesmen have given this
question their most serious attention
and yet the problem is still to vex
them But let US return to the bad boy

BOTH WOUNDED.
M. Clemenceau and Prince De Chlmay
Fought a Duel With Swords Yes
terday.

Paris, April 25.-The outcome of an
article by NJ. Clemenceau, in the Echo
de Paris was a duel with swords this
morning between NJ. Clemenceau and
Prince Caraman de Chimay. Both were
wounded simultaneously, Clemerceau
receiving a cash in the right arm and
the Prince slight scratch on the
shoulder.
NJ. Clemenceaus article in the Echo
de Paris characterized the interference
with the right of the Princess de Chi
may TO appear at the Folies Bergere as
shameful. The writer said her fortune
was entirely spent before she was di
vorced and that the 60 pounds per night
for which she had been engaged, would
help to keep her not merely from de-
scending lower, but also provide clothes,
food and other comforts Of life.
What business" said the writer
had the Project of Paris or any higher
parsonage to prevent her from going
upon the stage of the Folies Bergere?
What was tn honor of the Chimay
family to them?"
The Prince de Chimay sent a chal
lenge to NJ. Clemenceau by Sobeig, the
well-known fencing master. and Nj.
de Berda NJ. Clemenceau's seconds
were GeOrg Perrin end NJ. Ranc. The
Prince de Chimay refused TO allow the
matter to be referred TO an arbitrator
and insisted upon an apology or a duel.
NJ Clemenceau declined to apologize.
The Prince de Chimay chose swords
and the fight was very lively, the Prince
de Chimay ripping a severe wound in
the shoulder of his antagonist between
the great pectoral muscle and the del
told. The flesh was torn off on the
point Of the sword, but no serious con-
sequences are expected by the surgeons
The Princess de Chimay is pictorially

and undress. Crowds gather around
