THE CITY SCHOOLS.
By the superintendent.

Last week closed the middle of the
full term and reports of the stand.
ings of the pupils of the grades have
been sent to the parents for thei,
endorsement. These reports show
the standing in each study, tardi.
ness, attendance and department.
1t is hoped that the parents will
carefully examine them. The High
School reports will be sent at the
end OF the 9th.week, which is the
middle of the first semester.
We are using a system of class re-
cords which is somewhat peculiar.
At the close of each week estimates
OF the class standing for the week
are made and posted for the obserya-
ton OF the pupils, so that any pupil
may know at any time the judg-
ment OF the teacher as to whether
or not be is doing his work well,
This plan does away with all uncer-
talnty On the part of the pupil as to
whether he shall pass or not in his
studies at the close of the term. In
eality he is passing or not passing
every week. Good results from this
plan are noticeable.

FARGO FOOT BALL GAME
Fargo Feels Quite Glorious Over the
Defeat of Dakota ~UniyerSity's
Eleven

The Republican received a copy Of
the Fargo Forum of October 3Oth,
which contained an. account OF the
foot ball game played by the agricul.
tural college team and Dakota Uni.
v~ersity on Goth of October. 1t is evi.
dent from the writeup that Fargo
considers they won a great victory
when they defeated Mitchell. A few
excerpts are made from the Forums
account Of the game. as follows:
North Dakota Agricultural College
Dakota University of Mitchell.

The foregoing tells the story of
yesterdays game. which no doubt
determined the football championship
of the two Dakotas.
1t was a brilliantly played contest
with sensational features on the part
of the locals.
Few people anticipated such a large
score, and some had feared the A. c.
could not be able to win. The result
is highly gratifying and the Fargo
football fans car be pardoned for in
dulglng in a few mans size smiles,
The Mitchell goal line that had
been so sacredly guarded for two
long years. was shot all to pieces.
All kinds of liberties were taken
with it and the occasion will be
wildly impressed on the players of
that aggregation for many long
moons. :
From a spectacular standpoint the
contest was. an ideal one. The visitors
were heavier by six pounds to the
man than the Farmers. They
were also trained to the hour and in
splendid condition.
he locals were a wiry, tireless.
nervy bunch that played the fastest
ball ever seen here. The team work
was a thing of joy to devotees of
the game and~demonstrated among
other things the splendid work of
Coach Cochems on the team. The
men have developed the highest posi-
Bile speed limit and were into PLAYS
with a rush and unity that could not
be withstood. The boys charged
so fast that Mitchell could not effect
its formations and time after time
Mitchell was tackled behind the
line for losses.
Ing MilCHell oo}S piaFe0 a deter
mined game at all stages. They dem
onstrated their grit and staying
qualities by fighting just as hard in
the last minute of the play as any
other stage Of the contest. The
boys put up a nice clean exhibition.
OF curse they were greatly disap-
pointed in the result and felt badly
over the liberties taken with the
goal line, but to a man they admitted
the A. G. too fast for them.

4 Bird Killer,

Every spring and fall large numbers
Of birds are killed by the Washington
monument The city of Washington
seems TO be directly in the route taken
by many Of the migratory birds in the
flight between the north and the south.
and twice 4 year thousands of feath-
cred sonssters meet their death by fly
ing against.the tall marble shaft in the
night. Just now the fall slaughter is
at its height and every morning many
birds are to be e about the base of
the monument The dogs and cats of
that part OF the city have learned that
the base Of the monument is a good
place to get an early meal in the morn
ing without trouble, and many of them
are regularly on hand. Most of the
birds killed are yellow and black
throated warblers and small thrushes.

AT the present time the news
papers are trying--to dispose Of the
charges made against, Commander
Lucas OF the soldiers home. One OF
the members of the soldiers home
board. it is understood. first placed
the matter before the public. The
proper place for a discussion of the
charges is first with the board that
conducts the home, and not through
the public press. The whole matter
is first affirmed than denied. Then
follows a discussion that tends to en-
tighten the public mighty little on
the matter at issue. If Commander
Lucas has violated his public trust
the matter should first be brought to
the attention Of the board and if the
charges are sustained then he should
be released from his position, but
this thing of trying a man before all
the evidence is submitted does not do
justice to either side.

The seven commissioners appointed
by President Roosevelt to investigate
the claims of the miners and the
operators are going at their business
in a thorough manner. Thursday
they visited the mines land saw the
full operation of the mining of
coal and its delivery for shipment
to the railroad companies. The in
dividual members of the commission
displayed much interest in the condi-
tion OF the menin the mines and there
were frequent conversations between
the miners and the commission
ers. 1t was a new method to the
miners to have men Of their standing
to investigate a situation by actually
going into the mines and seeing
things for themselves. ) number
of the mines in the anthracite sec
ton are to be visited by the COM
mission. In this way the members
expect to acQuaint themselves to
some extent with what they have to
discuss in the Coming months and
each will be o thoroughly con-
yersant with details than they would
otherwiss be.

Warden Swenson. of the state peni-
Tertiary. made his annual report OF
that institution to the governor OF
the state. During the fiscal year there
were $50 prisoners confined within
the walls Of the prison. 1t cost the
state s2l5.35 per capita to care for
the prisoners during the..year, which
was a reduction OF $50 per capita over
the year previous. The warden rec
ommends that some kind Of manu-
featuring plant be established in the
prison so that the men car % an
pioyed at labor. The number has be-
come so large that there is notenoLgh
work to keep them all busy on the
farm and in the Quarries. He offers
the suggestion OF adopting the Irvine
feature, which has been in force in
the Minnesota prison for a good
many years. and which, has been con-
Quoted with much profit to the state.
and at the same time at a saving to
n farmers in buying material
cheaper. The warden also makes
some recommendations along the line
OF grading the prisoners according to
their conduct in the prison. Under
this system the men are given differ
ent uniforms to wear and are allowed
more liberties, this being determined
by their good behavior and the recor-
milton Of the rules Of the prison. He
also recommends that an officer be
employed to look after the prisoners
when they are liberated from the
penitentiary. and TO assist them in ST.
curing employment. There is much
encouragement needed in this direc-
ton. and the greater majority OF the
men are able 10 lead better lives
when they are assisted a little on
again entering the world.
Superintendent Young also makes
report to the governor of the WORK
done at the PIankinton reform school.
There was an average OF $ inmates
