NORTH DAKOTA AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE,
Department Of Education.

Department Of Education.
Armand D. Weeks, Professor.
AN EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY.
The North Dakota Agricultural Col
lege at Fargo has recently establish
ed a department of education for the
training of teachers for superentend-
encies and high school positions. The
purpose Is to advance the type of
education represented by the Agricul-
tural College by supplying teachers
not only broadly trained in science,
language ETC., but particularly trained
in agriculture. nature study and man.
ual and induItrial subjects and do.
mestic science. There is strong
popular demand for more applied
science in the public schools and The
industrial character of the Agriculture
al College gives it a commanding
place in tNis new movement in edu.
cation. The furthering Of the appli-
cation Of the principals of science to
common pursuits IS the aim of the
college of agriculture and mechanic
arts and the training of teachers
is a step to that end. The establish.
ing of teachers courses in the agri-
cultural colleges Is authorized by act
of congress.
What does this mean to the young
men and women of North Dakota?
1t means that any person who has
had the equivalent of high school
education may receive free four
year college course leading to the
degree Of bachelor of science; and
by shaping his course SO as to in
clude certain prescribed courses in
pedagogy will secure a teachers ere.
dentials good for life, in North Da.
kota and quite. generally elsewhere
college degree is required of the
high school teacher.
It is the part Of wisdom for the
prospective teacher to lay a founda-
ton broad enough to meet the re.
Quirements of the highest education
al positions. It Is also the part Of
wisdom to get ready for the changes
in subject matter in the public schools
which are being made by the pres
sure of modern life. The old form.
al, literary and disciplinary type Of
public school instruction will be in
creasingly nodded by newer ideals.
In the near future new type Of
teacher will be found in the school
room.
The college will also offer courses
in its preparatory department for Ell.
ementary school teachers. Graduates
OF the eighth grade may enter here
and secure completion certificates
for first and second grade teachers
certificates. In the meantime the
student is gaining credits for college
entrance. In the elementary teachers
course as much time as possible Is
allotted to elementary agriculture,
nature study, domestic science and
manual training.

HATRED TO DIMINISH
FRANCO-GERMAN RELATIONS ARE
 DISCUSSED.
Baron vOn HOlstein Gives Out Most Remarkable Interview Which was Made Public Yesterday
 Through the Press.

Berlin, May 25.-Baron von Holstein. for many, years director of the division of higher politics of the Foreign Of- flee. and who since his retirement in 1906, has continued to exercise q cer- tain influence on the foreign policy of Germany, discusses Franco German re- lations in a remarkable interview made public today. This interview was probably issued with the approval of the Foreign Ohice inasmuch as 1t ap- pears in The Nord Deutscher Zeitung.
 Referring to the efforts of private persons to bring about a Franco Ger man under standing, the Baron says:
 T consider that the time will come when the hatred of the two nations will diminish because 1t causes useless expenditures. I should regard such ef- forts as entirely inoffensive if 1t were not for the occasional cropping out in the French press of a tendency to in- terpret them as the first symptoms of a disposition of the mind which even tua11y will lead to revision of the treaty of Frankfort.
 This current of thought could only bring dIslllusionment and a consequent recrldescence of bitterness. I am sure that Germany as a nation would reject with the utmost energy the idea of such revision, It would De an Auec- tation to dismiss the possibility of ex- istence of a certain class in Germany which would welcome changes in the treaty as one of the most efficaeious methods to bring about the decomposi- ton of the empire. yet an over whelm- ing majority of Germans are prepared to defend the terms of the Frankfort treaty and in a similar manner they are ready to defend the empire.
 N-N n Hams views on this subject but I be- iieve myself in Q position to state that His Majesty is In perfect accord with the majority of his subjects, in main taIning the integrity of his grandfath- CTS work.
