esting facts regarding the results Of
the work done at Devils Lake.
Superintendent Stockwell in dis
cussing some of the vital points in MIR.
Bangs paper urged the county super
intendents to even keep closer in touch
with cases of defects among children
and report them. He considered it
would be a great misfortune for any
deaf child in the state TO 60 uneducat-
ed. He reviewed the work being done
so excellently we'll, at Devils Lake and
at the institute for fceble-minded at
Grafton The superintendent ought
to make sure of a special effort to get
school clerks to report those who
should be wards OF the state. Parents
are liable to cover up cases fearing it
would be a disgrace to have them go
to a state institution. 1t is a false no
tion and parents should have shown to
them all the benefits which are aTaila-
bic at little cost,
The question Of expenses brought
out reply from Superintendent Bangs
that where parents were wholly unable
to supply transportation and clothing
the county did so, but he had instances
where the parents OF defective children
positively declined to do thing. He
cited one family of four children two
of them have been to the school and
he has a bill against the father for
about 500 which he positively declines
to pay, notwithstanding that he owns
and farms seven quarter sections OF
the best land in the state, and there is
not a cent Of encumbrance Upon the
property, and yet he declines to pay a
paltry sum to aid the state in fitting
the two children out with an education

The first general session OF the eigh-

called to order this afternoon in the
assembly room of the high school by
President Worst. Considering the
cold wave the attendance was very
good. A great many incoming teach

1t was demonstrated this morning
that the Storm King is no respecter OF
persons, not even school superinten-
dents or high school principals and
teachers. A trio Of lady superinten-

absence of the street cars this morn

to the high school building, FROM the
Hotel Waldorf, in the teeth Of a bit
