WANT 1T WARM FROM THE COW,

Francis Wilson. the noted comedian,
has laugh at the expense OF the mod
ern collector Of cur!os who Is so ready
TO take anything coming along that he
Is easily duped. Mr.. Wilson is a collec-
tor himself and he said: THE collector.
as he pursues his hobby, grows in
knowledge. Then. reviewing his collec-
ton. he sadly finds many an instance
where he has been duped. The ono draw
hack to knowledge is that II reveals so
many dupes and swindles to us. One
summer. for instance. was doing
switzerland. In the ne!ghborhood Of
Geneva, where the Swiss talk French, /
climbed little peak one f,ne morning
and on my arrival at the chalet at the
top heard tho pretty handmaiden call

Quick. mother. quick! Here's a tour

THE CENTRAL NORMAL SCHOOL
IDEA,

The proposition to improve YER
mont's educational system by estab-
fishing n central normal school which
snail form distinctive link In the
chain OF educational institutions,
starting with the common school and
ending in state university Is one
that appeals to all unparalleled and
impartial observers OF the situation
as the common sense thing to do. Tne
trouble with the present situation Is
that the normal schools have been
supplying to n certain extent the
needs OF local preparatory schools and
following go-as-you-p please course,
The new idea Is to have all educa-
tional institutions doing corelative
work. each preparing In a way for
study In tho next higher and yet each
complete in itself for students who
can go no further.
A central normal school will thus
IN an important function for pupils
from all parts of the State. Attendance
at such an institution will entail no

Supt. Stockwell gives the following
Stockwell gives out the following
statement as to high schools classifi-
ed and entitled to state aid since the
October meeting of the State High
School Board.
First class-Casselton.
Second class-Ellendale Page,
Towner. Crystal.
Third Churches Ferry, Gill
by, Granville, Inkster, Leeds, Reyn-
olds, Rugby, Velva, Webster, Courten-
,ay, Minor, Aneta, Buffalo, Steele,
Washburn, Forest River and Milton.
There are eight or ten applications
for classification pending which will
be acted upon in the near future. At
present there are thirty-three first
class schools, seventeen second-class
schools and nineteen third-class
schools making a total of sixty-three
classified and aided high schools.
The state aid amounting to $500 to
third-class schools has been appor-
toned, but owing to the heavy drain
upon the state treasury this year the
warrants for this aid have not been
issued and may not be prior to
March 1, 1908.

Art Lectures Next Week

Concerning DR.. H. H. Powers of
Boston, Mass, who lectures in this
city next week, the Bureau of Univer-
sity Travel, of which he is president,
writes:
This is the first time Dr. Powers
has felt permitted to set apart any
portion of the year for general lee
ture engagements outside Of Boston
He is at liberty during the months Of
January, February and March and
will devote that time to the lecture
platform. To those who have known
Professor Powers in his favorite lee
lures before our university in Eu-
ropean cities We need not speak The
following excerpt from recently
published article written by dorado
Taft, the sculptor of Chicago, is wor-
thy of quotation:
"The visit to the Sistine Chapel was
followed by Professor Powers inter-
probation of that same most holy
place. AS he lighted those prodig-
ious figures with the fame of his
eloquence, he seemed like yet an
| other prophet of old denouncing the
pettiness and frivolities of an ungod-
ly world. The theme was worthy of
the critic and the critic was adequate
for his high task. It was the great
est art lecture ever heard"
The lecture to which Mr.. Taft re-
fers was given with the stereopticon,
and is one of those to be given in
Bismarck. OF still another of these
lectures Mr.. Taft says in the same
article:
when he ceased speaking felt
that the inspired words of this ex.
traordinary man had given ME one
of the great hours of my life"
Were these words of any other
than an artist and an art lecturer
known in two continents, we should
not think them other than fulsome
| hattery, but we feel justified in quot
/ ing from the published article of Mr..
Taft
Professor Powers will lecture in
Bismarck on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday of next week. His sub
jects will be-:
Michael Angelo and the Culmina.
