Successful Consolidated
School.

Grand Forks Herald: The
first school building erected in
North Dakota for use as a town
ship or consolidated school, was
formally dedicated by State
Superintendent Stockwell Fri
day, in Logan township, Grand
Forks county, with exercises ft.
ting to the occasion, witnc ssed
by d large audience.
The project of having one
central building in a district to
take the place of several small
and scattered school buildings,
as under the plan now in vogue
in the district schools of the state
has been discussed in many Sec
tions of the state for several
years past with the plan of hav.
ing the-pupils taken to and from
the school by conveyances, and
there have been several attempts
in an experimental way in this
direction, but it has remained
for the people ofLogan township,
in this county to carry the plan
to a successful conclusion, by the
erection of a substantial. and
entirely modern central building.
The new school and the plan has
been in operation long enough
now to establish it's claim tc
feasibility.
Logan township is in the west
ern part of Grand Forks county
and is distant some is miles
southwest from Larimore, and
about the same distance north
west from Northwood, and east
of Aneta.

It is heated by steam with a
good system of ventilation. The
system of lighting has the adj
mirable feature Of having high

ranged that the light is detected

The success of the enterprise
has been highly satisfactory,
and has surpassed the expecta-
ton of even it's warmest advo-
Gates. The school spirit is ex-
cellent. Every child is anxious
to be at school every day. The
county superintendent visited the
school a few days before and was
pleasantly surprised to see the
work that was being done. The
school has now two teachers in
stead of the three previously
employed. Harold Westergaard
having charge of the upper
grades and Miss Lillian Bulge of
the lower grades. Mr.. Wester-
gard the principal, is doing
most of the work of the first year
of the high school. He says that
the amount Of money it would
cost to send these upper grade
pupils to the university or to the
neighboring high schools would
more than pay the expense of
maintaining the busses and the
cost Of having the pupils Of the
eighth grade and upwards
educated elsewhere would build
!. the school house.
The greatest increase in ex'
pensc is for transportation, but
there isa saving in both teachers
wages and in fuel. The schoo
will, of course, be maintained fol
nine months instead of seven az
heretofore.
The busses used by the schoo
are of the best grade, with goo(
springs, and are as pleasant to
ride in as a modern carriage OF

purchased of the Delphi Wagon

Gated by a belated dispatch from Gen.
Nogi's headquarters. A correspondent
declares that the siege preparations
are complete and have been Of the
most thorough character. The rocky
hills have been tunneled with the
most arduous labor until the Japanese
works extend to within 100 yards OF
the parapets of the forts. Through
these tunnels the japanese can march
to the Notifications without losing a
man and avoid the fire which has ex-
terminated their regiments in nearly
all the previous assaults. y

asserts that the emperor has decided to
send out the second division of in

already called out shall have been dis
patched to Manchuria. The guards
usually are only sent to the front when
there is a monarch or a grand duke in
command. The dispatch of these troops,
the correspondent AIDES, shows the de-,
termination of the emperor to struggle
to the bitter end.

The movement for reciprocity with
Canada Is at a standstill. This is due
to Canadian sentiment more than to
American, but 1t is half frozen in both

colonial preference, leads the Domin-
ion mind to dwell more on develop
ments over sea than to study the ad-
vantages Of dealing with the States. y

After the Pics Come.

AS the little fellows get older, they
drag more heavily on the parent, who
should now be fed literally, says a
Canadian swine raiser. When they
show signs of picking for themselves,
few grains and sliced roots may be
thrown to them on a clean floor, when
the mother is out. Or have a room
partitioned off, and an opening for
them to creep through, where they can
eat without molestation, or drink from
small trough. Do not give them too
much food, or let it lie and become
stale. Feed the mother well, and this
is a very good way of feeding them.
They may be weaned any time after
four weeks. Eight weeks old is a
good time to wean them. In weaving
them the SOW should be let In with
them at least twice, day or two in
tervening. At this time they demand
your most particular care and atten-
ton, as by exposure to cold and damp,
overlooking and under-feeding, 1t is
possible your hopes may be blighted.
Feed warm milk, slops from the kitch-
en- thickened slightly at first with
shorts, bran, and little oat and barley
meal. Feed grain sparingly for the
first one hundred pounds Of their
weight. Give them all the roots they
will eat also little clover, green or
in hay, and an occasional feed of
ashes, sulphur and salt. Oats, barley
and peas, mixed and chopped make a
good feed, but rather expensive. Give
less of peas at first, and increase as
nearing the finishing period. One Of
the best lots l ever had was a spring
litter fed on soaked peas, slop thick
ened with little shorts, and finished
on grass.

theorist class is to be found in Mr..
Alfred Mosely, who has made himself
familiar in this country with his trav-
cling commissions, and Mr.. Charles
Booth, who is regarded as a high
authority on labor and social condi-
tons generally.
The London Times thinks Mr.. Cham
berlain has done we'll to rely upon the
men who know. On the contrary, the
New York Times, the Evening Post,
and other conspicuous opponents Of
superior thought are greatly disturbed
at the bare idea that the interests
most vitality concerned should be per-
mitted to have anything to say about
tariff making. They see in this emil
nently sensible move of Chamberlain's
a repetition of what has occurred In
the United States-"selfsh interests"
allowed to bear a hand in the arrange
ment of tariff schedules! Strange, Is
1t not, that the British tariff commits
sion is so constituted? Strange that

What does a domestic producer Of tex

of materials that form the major
portion Of the cost of production?
What do the American potters and

tween production cost in the United
States and in Saxony and France?
How is 1t possible for the men who
make the goods to be correctly In
formed on these points and to supply
information without which practical
tariff making would be hopeless UNI
dertaking? That seems to be the view
Of the Times and the Evening Post.
Importers and free trade college pro-
fessors are the ones who should make
our tariffs, according to these high
lights.
Joseph Chamberlain thinks differ

protective tariff scheme for adoption
by Great Britain, and he is going
about 1t in the right way when he
relies upon men Of experience and
practical knowledge for the facts and
conditions which must govern the
formation Of his new fiscal system.
He prefers to deal with the men who
know rather than with the men who
think much and know very little. His
tariff commission is a sort Of commit
tee on ways and means and will hold
tariff hearings very much as our Con-
gresslonal committees do. The Brit

How Trees Breathe,

Besides giving out oxygen In assim.
ilation, trees also take in oxygen from
the air through their leaves, and
through the minute openings in the
bark called lenticels, such as the OBJ
long raised spots or marks on the
young branches Of birch and cherry
and many other trees, says a student
Of tree life. All plants, like animals,
breathe; and plants, like animals,
breathe in oxygen and breathe out
carbonlc acid gas. This process Of
respiration or the breathing Of the
tree goes on both day and night, but
1t is far less active than assimilation,
which takes place only in the light.
Consequently more carbonic-acid gas
is taken into the tree than is given
out, and the surplus carbon remains
to be used In growing.

FIXING UP A TARIFF
BRITISH INDUSTRIAL EXPERTS

Joseph Chamberlain's Commission OF
Thirty, Composed of Practical 5usi-

A commission of thirty members
has been selected by Joseph Chamber
lain to furnish the facts that shall
form basis for measures to carry
into effect Mr.. Chamberlain plan of
protecting British industry and trade
from the inroads of countries that re-
strict their own foreign trade by high
duties on imports. The commission is
wholly composed of practical business
men. There is not a theorist, not a
politician on 1t. Wisely Mr.. Chamber
lain looks for his facts to the men
whose interests are most affected by
the tariff policy of Great Britain. For
the most part, these men are manu-
facturers. Among them is the chair
man Of the Bessemer company, the
vice chairman of the Armstrong COM
pany and other prominent representa-
tives Of iron and steel and of coal.
Engineering Is also represented In the
person of Charles Parsons, well known
in connection with the development Ct

shipping firm of Elder, Dempster &
Co. is member, and there are sever
al prominent representatives of large
manufacturing interests, and at least
one Of the railroad interests of the
kingdom. There Is only one who
stands for agriculture and he Is Mr..

send out inquiry forms" and gather
information and ideas by mail, and it
will probably be many months before
it has collected and digested its great
mass of material, and will be ready to
formulate a report upon which the

The next general election will de-
termine for or against Mr.. Chamber
lains courageous project of protection
to British labor and industry. From
present appearances, the Chamberlain
project will win, and free trade will
have wholly disappeared from among
the civilized nations Of the earth.
