demonstrated conclusively that misdi-

astrous to the heir of a great fortune

now been dissipated, and last week he
entered into a deed of arrangement
for the liquidation of S2,500,00O debts
in long.term installments.
1t was all due to lack of familiar,
ity with modern business methods. He
had one of the most stable and well
intrenched manufacturing businesses
in England behind him and the pres
tige of a family name which has been
associated with solid, conservative
business methods. He was told he

ciety.
Curator Fish Of Bismarck went to
Mashburn, and with Theo. Taylor Of
Garrison looked over the effects of the
late Joe Taylor. Theo. Taylor was
anxious that the OLD books and pa.
pers of his uncle should not be scat
tered, and so wished the things to
be kept intact in the state historical
library. Curator Fish brought home
nearly hundred books, many Of them
quite valuable historically. Mr.. Tay-
Tor also gave the society number of
clippings and letters which the old
hunters and scouts had sent to his
uncle.
Last summer Joe Taylor met Secre.
tary Libby and showed him a diary
Of soldier boy who was at Fort Ber-
thold in the '70s. This diary he was
anxious to have placed in the vaults
Of the society. It is part of the col
lection, and when it is published it
will prove of interest to all the old
settlers.
The Tribune commends most heart
lily the action of Theo. Taylor, for so
often collection is lost just at this
time. The historical society appre-
ciates the gift and considers it one Of
great value.

PLAN OF SCHOOL PRINCIPALS.

To Divide the State Into Several Dis.

during which a number OF topics
were considered.

wood. The matter was finally referred
to committee Of five to report at the
next annual conference. The com.
mittee named consisted of Superin.
tendents Youngdahl, Macdonald, Gray
of Grafton, Godward Of Devils Lake
and Berk Of Dickinson.
It was decided that the state high
school examiners should prepare ques.
tons on physiology and physics.
There was very lively discussion
over the matter Of requiring sixteen
courses for graduation for next year.
The objection was made that such a
change without notice would involve
a hardship on the senior classes for
next year. and the proposition was
finally voted down with the provision
that sixteen courses shall be required
for the following year, 1910.
The conference decided to recon.
mend that the state high school board
provide in the high school manual
suggested courses for the high schools
OF the second and third class courses
in which culture studies largely oc
cupy the pupils time and also othe,
courses In which Industrial and com
mercial subjects occupy half of the
pupils time. This recommendation
was made owing to the fact that many
principals are coming from other
states where less attention is devoted
to the latter class of subjects and the
courses given by them would likely
place their schools at disadvantage
with other high schools.
The proposition to make English
~. course in public speaking con
slant in fifth class high schools was
defeated.
The matter Of holding the state ex
amlnations one week later than now
scheduled was defeated.
1t was decided that eighth grade
questions in physiology and physics
should be offered by the high school
board.
After the discussion Of some rou-
tine matters the conference adjourned
