POINTS IN FARMING
Supt. Olson. Would Give Them to
Rural School Children.
WILL MAKE A BEGINNING SOON
Has Already Taken Steps to Put Plan
~ Into OperatiOn-O. C. Gregg
Approves Scheme.

II want to see our rural schools do for
the boys and girls in the country what
courses in manual training are doing for
them in the city" said State Superintend-
emit Olsen yesterday afternoon. With this
statement for text, he continued:
Manual training courses train boys in the
cities to use tools and to win success in the
lines of industry in which will lie their
life work ! would give agriculture the same
show, and teach the boys who are to become
farmers how to win in the conquest OF
mother earth.
We have nature study now in our schools.
I would carry the work still further, and give
the farmer boys instruction In scientific agri-
culture.
To do this we must reach the teachers
first, and want to make beginning this
year. l am negotiating now with two very
well qualified gentlemen. If I secure them
they will deliver lectures to teachers at sew
eral of the summer schools, giving them in
struction along agricultural lines. 1t may be
some time before suon instruction can be
made general, but I want to make begin
ming, and believe it will prove popular.
Mr.. Olsen is addressing farmers in
stitute at Montevideo to-day on "The
Improved Rural School Environment"
| Superintendent o. C. Gregg is in hearty
accord with Mr.. Olsen's idea. The latter
would like to reach more of the farmers
Institutes. but mas not the time. he Is
| anxious to impress on the taxpayers the
needs of their schools. To use his own
words: e -
Great good comes from teachers getting
| together and discussing their educational
duties. I can see how great good may come
| from school officers and parents getting to-
gether and discussing their duties toward the
schools Teachers Institutes and farmers
Institutes have the same general end In view
| and I think they can profitably make excur-
| sions into each others territory.

SPARKS IN MONTANA
Biologists Doubt the Value Of Dia-
mond Finds There.
GLACIAL DRIFT NAY CARRY GEMS
bic the Pockety Field In
Wiscons1n.

It is reported that diamonds have been
found In Montana. Professor G. w. Hail
of the University of Minnesota says dia-
monds may have been found in Montana
and many more may be found there, but
they are not indigenous there or anywhere
in this vicinity. Professor Hobbs OF the
University of Wisconsin has given much
time to the investigation of the diamond
question, and has written an interesting
monograph on the subject.
There is a well-defined belt where the
larger portion of the diamonds found In
the United States have come from. This
region is about 600 miles long and about
200 wide, and lies along the great lakes.
The city of Milwaukee is about in the CEN
ter of this district. Some fifteen stones
ranging in weight from fraction OF
carat to twenty one carats have been
found in this area. These stones vary IN
color from white to white tinged with
green and pale yellow. Several of, the
best specimens have been found in the
vicinity of Wauseka, Wis. The finder OF
one Of these stones sold it for 81 and upon
learning OF It's real value endeavored tc
repurchase 1t for $1.10. Failing to re.
cover it she brought a suit in the Law
courts, but her plea was denied.
The explanation that Professor Hobbs
gives is that these stones we're brought
down from the north during the glacia
period along with vast masses of clay anc
gravel in which they are found. Re-
searches would Indicate that the field:
from which these gems originally came liz
around the southeastern portion of Hud.
sons Bay. -
Professor Hall thinks it probable thai
the alleged discoveries in Montana come
from gravel and clay that was brough
from this same region by the glaciers o.
long ago. In speaking of the precious
stones in the United States, he says:
The government records show that during
the years Of 1S96-7-S there was not a dollar:
worth found in the country. In 1899 ther;
was $500 worth found and in 1900 the croI
was valued at $3.50. This does not look like
very valuable branch of industry. 1t doe:
not seem worth while then for us to Civ
much time to the precious stone proposition

BISHOP MANN'S RING
Beautiful Gift of His Friends in
Kansas City.

Bishop Cameron Mann of North Dakota,
who is in the city to attend the Epiphany.
tide meeting of the church club, took up
the duties of his episcopal Office Jan: 1.
On New Years day, before his departure
from Kansas City, he was the recipient
of a most beautiful Episcopal ring, the
gift of friends. The ring is of massive
gold, set with an amethyst face of purple.
The heavy setting is chased in oak leaves,
the badge of the Scottish clan of Macdon-
aid, from which Bishop Mann's father was
descended. One side Of the setting bears
a wheat sheaf, with the cross emerging,
which is the seal of the cathedral of
North Dakota. The reverse side has
plain Latin cross. Around the setting are
chased three gold cords, emblematical of
the three-fold cord of faith, hope and
charity. The amethyst bears the usual
crest Of the bishops mitre. The coat of
arms on the shield below Is quartered by
a St. Andrews cross, the Scottish emblem
In the quarterings are the oak leaf Of
the Macdonald clan, the falcon of the
house of Schuyler, Bishop Mann's moth
er's family, and the wheat sheaf of the
state Of North Dakota. The shield also
bears a canton with the bishops crozier.
The ring was designed by R. H. Cram
of Boston, an architect of fame, the lead
ing American expert in heraldry. Inside
the ring is engraved with the inscription:
