The Baudette View.

Rainy River Region; When
the time comes that large
amounts of money will be ex-'
pended for drainage by the U. S.
government and our state, it be-
hooves US to be on the alert. We
can not muster the vote and pres
tige that more thickly populated
sections can, but that is not say
ing that we are not entitled to a
fair share of drainage. Human
nature has considerable of that
factor in its makeup which is so
apparent in, the general conduct
of our. domestic "pig." The fact
that fertile tract in northern
Minnesota equal in size to q
couple of New England states,
needs settlers, drainage aud en-.
couragement, does not appeal to
all sections of this state nor to
those who have already had much
help. They haye got taste, it
pleases them, they want it all.
The Red River valley people now
seem to think they are the only
"heirs apparent" to all drainage
appropriations. Our country
will after some years prove a
better farming country than that
along the Red. Easier to drain,
higher and better soil. Much of
the water which is continually
sweeping down upon US comes
from the boggy country between
the Rapid river and Red lake. A
good ditch should be put in
there. But the dirt from bitches
makes good roads. Drainage is
the first item on the program in
the development of any country.
We need a drainage league up
here to see that we get what we
are entitled to. That's all we
want. ..'

!. Show One Of the Best.

"The Bankers Child, 'as pre-.

night BY Harry shannon's com

best attractions that has been
given in the city this year. The
play is q melodrama, and in less
capable hands might not be very
attractive, but as interpreted by
the Shannon company it is ell
that could be desired, The
humor is plentiful and thorough

features are not overdone, .

are difficult ones to fill, a. they
are on the stage the greater part
OF the time and are never idle;
but the youngsters acquitted
themselves nobly. In fact, they
are BY far the best stage children
ever seen here.

was the rather small house. The
hall should have been filled.
Those who stayed away last

Two Bucks and Doe at

The first deer to be shipped
into the city since the opening Of
the big game season were re-
ceived here this morning over

John Goodman and Martin
Linden, who secured three.
They have been out since Satur-

The two hunters went to Dixon
lake, about thirty miles south
east Of Blackduck. There we're
two bucks and one doe. The
larger of the bucks weighed 235
pounds. The hunters report
deer as being very plentiful
around Dixon lake, and they also
got track of a big moose, but
we're unable to down him.

DISCUSSES THE TEACHER
and The SUPERINTENDENT i /
- &
Professor Ritchie Is to Read a Paper
Before the Northwestern Educa-
T.. 49,. tional Association.

Superintendent A. P. Ritchie
left this afternoon for Crookston,
where he will attend the annual
meeting of the Northwestern
Teachers association, and incl
dentally read q paper before that
assembly.
The subject to be treated of BY
Professor Ritchie is "The ReIa.
tion OF Superintendent and
Teacher to Each Other and to the
School,, !" and he has handled it in
a most thorough and compre-
hensive way.
Professor Ritchie first takes
up the theme, the teacher, and
discusses the qualifications
which she should have, then the
superintendent, both country
and city, and finally the relation
of the teacher and the superin-
tendent to each other.
The point which be emphasizes
in speaking both of the teacher
and of the superintendent, is the
necessity of education and train
ing for the work, and of a special
love and interest for the task Of
guiding the youthful mind.
He regrets, especially, the mix
ing of politics with the Office of
county superintendent. Men
are elected, not because they are
fitted for the Office, but because
they know how to win votes.
Teaching demands some sacri-
fees on the. part of the young
women engaging in it, declares
the local educator, in his paper,
II am not one Of those who
think that the teacher should
hibernate or cut herself eff from
the joys and pleasures which are
properly hers, but I do think
that she should not allow social
int9res ts to interfere with her
school duties. She should re-
member that the eyes of the pupil
and parent are upon her. She
must not let it be said by the
girl Of Is, while being corrected.
by her mother, well, the teach.
ers do this. She should feel
and know that she has q greater
influence on the young than any
one else, lest it be the mother
herself. .
After discussing the teacher
at some length, and also dwell
ing upon the superintenden t,
Professor Ritchie approached
the subject Of the relationship Of
the two. He holds that the
superintend should 60 into the
room and give advice and MAKE
Isupoestions. but that the teacher
should be left largely to her own
juds ment as to the technioAl
part Of her work. as 5s
81 have known other superin.

.QlreCLlO0S as 10 now certain
words should be presented to
the class, thus cutting off all re.
sources of the teacher, and what
is worse, the inspiration gathered
from the presence of the class.
This is educational stagnation

derstand me to SAP 1T the sup
erintendent should not 60 into
the rooms Of teachers and give
suggestions and directions; far
from it. He should MT only do
this, but indicate from time 10

scribed time, and discuss
methods Of presenting work with
his teachers; but the teacher.

Judgment as to the technical part
of her scnoolroom duties. i

teach primary hlldren better
than I cam
Continuing on the same sub:
ject, Professor Ritchie expresses
the belief that failure on both
sides would be less frequent if
the teacher and superintendent
would only work together. The
teacher should make suggestions
to the superintendent and the
superintendent should make
suggestions to the teacher, and
both should uphold the hands of
the other as regards discipline
and outside criticism.
Professor Ritchie also believes
the superintendent should not
hesitate to criticise his teachers
if he thinks 1t is needed. 81 be.
lieve that in most cases where q.
teacher fails, he says, ''it is
largely the fault Of the superin-1
tendent in not standing by her
or not pointing out to her where.
in she could improve. These
little criticisms may smart at the
time, but the true teacher and
the true superintendent will
profit by them
Superintendent Ritchle, in
continuing, deplored the ten
dency Of some teachers to criti-
else their sister workers, and
especially to make remarks to
those who would spread them
and add to them. He also scored
teaching for effect, Or grand
stand teaching.
