laws, the principal ones Of which are
First, reducing the time which the
candidates for the county superin-
tendency shall have taught in North
Dakota from three years to one year;
Second, it gives the county superin-s
tendent the right to withhold the state
and county tuition fund from districts

Third, it allows separate depart
ments in graded and high schools to
be counted in making up the summer
school fund. It reduces the maximum
rate Of interest on school bonds from
Z to s per cent, cuts out the provision
which requires a population of 200
people in a district in order to issue
more than 81 900 worth of bonds and
bases the bond issue solely upon 5
per cent Of the assessed valuation;
Fifth, it increases the amount which
can be expended for the erection and
equipment of a school house in certain
instances from $500 to 81 200.
Senate bill No. 2O7. better known as
the library commission bill, is meas
ure which creates a library commits
sion and defines it's duties. This, in
our Judgment, is one Of the most i'm
portant educational measures which
has passed this session, or any other
session, inasmuch as it definitely fixes
!, the place of the library work in our
state and will place in charge of this
work throughout this state thorough
" trained librarian. The library com
mission will taHe over the educational
reference library and the system of
travelling libraries. It will organize a
legislative reference bureau and in
every way possible assist in the de-
lvelopment of library work throughout
this state.

schools, the principal change being the
designation of the head Of the normal
school, changing it from principal to
president. 5 ~.
Senate bill No. 333 is the result Of
the educational conference which was.
held in Bismarck from February 12ta
to the 18th and definitely fixes the
scope Of the work in a number Of our
educational institutions. The normal
department Of the university is
eliminated and the teachers college
substituted with the proviso that all
work in the teachers college shall be
above the grade of secondary schools.
Normal school work is limited to two
years beyond the work of the second
airy schools. The field of the school
of science is, fixed. being technical
school giving instruction in work be-
low the junior year Of college Of
engineering, and offering a general
science course Of three years. This
school is not to grant degrees. The
scope Of the school Of forestry is fixed
as an agricultural high school, with
special reference ito horticulture and
forestry. This bill No. 1888 may be.
considered as one of the most states
man-like measures so far as education
is concerned, that has been enacted in
many a day. It will do more to
clarity the work Of higher education
in North Dakota than ALL other
measures.
Senate bill No. So, providing for the
redistribution Of the one-mill tax, we
believe has been a very serious mis-
take. 1t does not appear to us that
any measure which will seriously
cripple the leading educational institu-
ton of our state is wise or statesman
like. We can readily appreciate the
desire Of other institutions to partici-
pate in this mill tax, but cannot be-
lieve that the large amount which has
been taken from the income Of the

visory control over the erection OF
school houses in common school dis
Itricts, especially with regard to plans
for lighting, heating, ventilating and
sanitation. The superintendent OF
public instruction is authorized to pre-
pare plans for one or two-room school
buildings, which are to be used as
models. "A board of inspectors is;
created in each county whose business
it is to recommend to school boards
changes in school buildings which
will render the same sanitary and fit
for school purposes. While this meas
ure is not as rigid as we might desire,
still it is long step in the right and
we look for splendid results from
| this law
House bill No. 116 is a concurrent
resolution amending the constitution
SO as to locate normal school ait
Minot., This is, in line with the
| recommendation of the department
and the State Educational association
and we believe 1t will have a decided
influence for good upon the education
al development of the northwestern
portion of our great state.
1 House bill No. 1913 gives additional
help to the county superintendent of
Cass and Ward counties by allowing a
deputy for each 100 school or major
fraction Thereof. This will allow Ward
county at least three or four deputies
and Cass county at least two. In this
way the work of supervising the work
of these two large and populous coun-
ties will be made very much more
4 effective. 1t is hoped that in time
the legislature will see fit to give a
deputy for each fifty schools.

an organized city, town or village, to

The 10th legislative assembly has
left an excellent. record so far as
progressive educational legislation is
concerned. While everything that
was asked for by the educators of,
North Dakota was not enacted into a
law, still, so much that is progressive
has become law as to satisfy even
the most enthusiastic school men.
The educational committees of both
the senate and the house were
thoroughly in sympathy with educa-
tional legislation and they readily
acted favorably upon all educational
legislation which was presented to
them. The educators of North Da-
kota have reason to be grateful to
Senator Talcott, chairman of the SEN
ate committees on education and his
conferees on that committee, and
also to Representative Casey, chair
man of the house committee on edu-
cation and his colleagues. Nothing
affecting education which was pre-
scented to the committee failed to re
ceive a respectful and favorable con-
sideration While possibly not as
much epoch making educational legis-
lation has passed this session as two
years ago, still, North Dakota is dis
tinctly progressive state, education
ally.
The principal measures which have
passed both houses are as follows:
House bill No. 81. providing for the
codifcation and compilation of the
school laws, was enacted. This will
be done during the coming two years
and report made to the next session
of the legislature. 1t is expected that
this will result in the greater simplify.
Z ing and clarifying of our present
school laws.
House bill No. SO gives the superin.
tendent of public instruction the
/ power to revoke state certificate fol
violation of contract.
House bill No. 112 gives to the

was not moved by the speeious argu-
ments advanced from this source and
stood Loyalty by the measure and the
principle involved in it. Anyone who
knows anything about the high schools
in North Dakota knows that the state
aid has done more to increase both
the number and the efficiency of the
high school than all other educational
legislation combined. During the COM
ing biennial period it is. confidently
expected that the number of classified
high schools will nearly reach 100. It
will make it possible for high schools
to be maintained in any community:
in the state, of 500 people provided
the community is wide awake and
progressive with respect to education
al matters.
Senate bill No. IA makes it possible
to annex territory to the special dis
trict, even though that territory be
situated in another county.
Senate bills -158 and 159 are meas
ures designed to change the name Of
the manual training school at Ellen
dale to the State Normal and Indus
trial school and enlarge the scope Of
this school SO as to include the train
ing Of teachers. These measures are
in accord with the recommendation
of the department made over year
ago and in our jud gment will establish
/, the school at Glendale on perma-
| nent and proper basis and is in keep
: ing with the spirit of the present legis-
lature which was to definitely pre-
scribe the scope of the educational
institution.
Senate bill No. 1852 increases the
limit of compulsory attendance to
three miles and provides that where
ever school facilities are not other
wise provided for children residing be-
yond the three mile limit, transporta-
ton shall be furnished by. the district.

touring car. which DR.. F. NJ. Bell was
driving almost at top speed along West
Washington street, collided head
on with an electric car last night and
caused a wreck in which the escape
from death of a score of persons was
little short of miraculous. When the
automobile struck the car the gasoline
tank exploded with such force that the
front wheels OF the machine were
blown OF. The front end Of the street
car was crushed in and the motorman
blown of his feet.
DR.. Bell was thrown clear over his
steering wheel and fell in the street
outside the range Of the flames. Miss
'k atherine Wing and Ralph Valliket,
who were riding with him, were not
so fortunate. The latter's clothing was
covered with blazing gasoline and the
young woman's hair was burned off her
head, but she was dragged out of the
flames by passengers who had leaped
from the car. DR.. Bell sustained a
cash q foot long in his 1eg and with
the other injured was taken 10 hos
pital The automobile was wholly con-
sumed by fire.

ESTIMATES OF LOSS

P1TTSBURG, March 1e.-After three
days business stagnation caused by
the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers
inundating over ten squares of this
city. conditions have about assumed
their normal trend and by Monday a
complete resumption will be possible.
The water is receding even more
quickly than 1t rose. With the excep-
tion of the low lands below the city
the river has subsided to its natural
course. For tomorrow a stage of a
little over ten feet is calculated.
The loss in the Pittsburg district Is
estimated at 100000
Reports from upriver points are that
is at least SIS, ,0oo, 900. The exact num-
ber Of fatalities caused by the high
water has not been ascertained. A
score of persons have lost their lives
In the floods and additional reports of
many deaths were received by the
Coroner today. However, the reports
have not been verified.
The work of relief in Pittsburg, Allie
gheny and McKeesport is in excellent
shape. The health authorities are taxi
ing every precaution to prevent an
epidemic.
Electric light plants were repaired
today and after two nights of dark
ness street lamps were lighted tonight.
The street car service is almost in
full operation, with the assurance that

NEW YORK, March ls.-Attorney
Delphin NJ Delmas conferred with his
associates In the defense of Harry K.
ma" today mapping out plans for
Ohe rebuttal work at the trial which.
When resumed Monday, will enter its
hlnth week. Applications were made
today TO the District Attorneys office
Tor several additional subpenas.
Probably the greater part of next
week viii be consumed by the defense
ana the case may not go to the Jury
until after March 25.
When court convenes Monday Jerome
VIII present the last bit OF evidence he
has for the prosecution. He will re-
new his request of Friday afternoon
tnat Justice Fitzgerald admit the
Photographic and carbon copies of the
amoavit Evelyn Nesbit is said TO have
made In Abraham Hummels office.
This aff1davit, Jerome contends. is COM
petent In order TO contradict the state
ment that she was drugged and be-
| trayed by Stanford White. In it the
young woman is said to have sworn
that the stories concerning White were
untrue and that Harry Thaw beat her
when she told him that there was no
truth in the statement that White had
betrayed her.
Justice Fitzgerald. having permitted
Hummel and his clerk to testify as TO
the making of the affidavit, evidently
intends TO allow Jerome to put the
papers in evidence and read whatever
OF the Contents he desires to go to the
jury. Attorney Delmas said yester-
day that the defense probably would
offer no objection TO this. He referred
TO the questionable shape in which
this evidence comes" and apparently
viii content himself with the attack
made upon the crediblity of Hummel as
witness. Delmas will probably have
young Mrs. Thaw take the stand and
repeat that she did not know the con-
tents OF the paper. 1t will then be for
the jury to decide between the prison
er's wife and the convicted lawyer.
Harry Thaw's confidence, instead OF
diminishing with the closing hours of
the case, seems to increase. His
mother. his wife and the Countess Of
Yarmouth. his sister. called upon him
in the Tombs today and reported that
he was in high spirits.
When the matter of the affidavit is
settled Jerome will announce that the
people rest and Delmas will then take
up the work of surrebuttal. AS he in
tends TO call several alienists. and as
District Attorney Jerome has COM
mitted himself to extensive examina-
tion OF this class OF witnesses. there is
no way TO tell just how long the de-
fense viii take in putting its last evil
dence before the twelve men who are
