is small but it has a historical asso-
citation which will make 1t of more
worth as the years pass.
There are In the city dozens of peo-
pie who have gone to school in this
little structure. Some have possibly
received their entire education within
it. How many children it has shelter
ed, who have since grown to man
and womanhood and made a success
in life, no one knows. but there is IL
doubt that many could be found.
| 1t was in 1874 that this building was
erected for school purposes on the lots
now occupied by the Unitarian church
and the residence of VIM. Ballou. The
lot was given to the town by the Nor
thern Pacific railroad to be used for
school purposes. School was held in
this building with a three months win
ter and a three months summer course
until the increasing enrolment de-
manded more room. Then another
room, or rather another building, was
| added to it and still later two more
rooms were added. There were then
four rooms and while 1t was the only
school building in the town it receiv-

spans the Red river, is a little red
frame building. 1t is about thirty feet
long by less than half that extent in
width. 1t contains one room lighted
by four widnows on either side and
two in front. Wooden steps lead to
the door which is between the two
front windows. This is Fargo's first
school house.
1t is still in go al repair, for annual
ly the board Of education to whom the
structure belongs, donates a hundred
dollars for keeping it in shape and to
assist in running the kindergarten for
the benefit of the small children of
lower Front street.
If anyone wished to get an object
lesson on the development of schools
all he would have to do would be to
first look at this little building and
then visit the eight modern structures
now used exclusively for school pur-
poses. The first thing which would
dawn upon the observer would be the
actual material increase. Westerners,
especially Fargoans, are used to the
phenomenal development, and the real
significance OF the comparison would
not be apparent at first glance.
However when he stops to think that
this has been accomplished in thirty
five years, the thing becomes startl-
ing. In this time the number OF pu-
pills has increased from possibly doz-
len to 1859. From one room seating

1t really doesn't seem sensible for
anyone to worry or fret about indi-
gestion or dyspepsia; they are durable
until they develop into or lead to dis
eases that may be incurable. Kodol pre-.
vents dyspepsia and other serious all
ments by giving the stomach effective
aid in it's processes of digestion--thus
making and keeping the stomach well,
strong and active. And when you
have sound stomach, you need not
worry about dyspepsia, or what 1t
leads to. Indigestion and dyspepsia
if neglected too long, will result in
irreparable damage to the whole sys-
tenn. Kodol is the stomach's ever
ready assistant--anxious and able to
help prepare this food, and make

The building was constructed In
September, 1892, as four room build
ing, but in 1906 an addition OF four
rooms was built, making IL one Of the
best school houses i'm the city. 1t, like
the others is two stories in height and
of brick throughout. Prior to the
building of the first brick building In
1892, the grounds were occupied by
one OF the four original buildings which
was moved from the Unitarian church
site and used for school purposes eight
years.

road from that point to destination.
This loss of prof. Ting arrangements
has seriously affected the packet lines
and has practically ruined the traffic
in horses, shoes, cotton, ties, bar iron,
wire nails, staples, ETC., in shipments
to the south and west, where formerly
the river freight was heavy.
A significant feature of the report is
that dealing with railroad control of
rivA~ traffic and private canals. A
number of packet lines engaged in
business on the Mississippi and its
tributaries are mentioned as showing
traces of railroad influences, and sew
eral private canals are also mentioned
as being dominated by railroad infiu-
ences.
The report strikingly shows the ex-
tent to which state and private canals
have been abandoned, the total mile
age abandoned to date being 2,444.26
miles, representing cost approx
mated at $S1, ,171,S74 Among the more
important causes for this wholesale
abandonment of canals are the inabil-
| ity of some canals to compete with
modern railroads and the mismanage-
/
popular impression that such systems
of public works have done more harm
than good, and finally, a belief that
| the chief means of internal commune
cation was not to l > water, but rail.
Cause of Discrimination.
Discussing the relation of water
transportation . OF railroad rates, the
report says:
1T has been claimed that water
transportation is safeguard against
/ exorbitant charges by railroads through
large sections of the co~ntry. 1t is
undoubtedly true, at any rate, that
water competition is a potent cause
of local discrimination in railroad
rates.
1t is pointed out that the importance
of water competition depends very
largely upon whether it Is by canal
river, lake or ocean. 1t appears to
vary with the physical characteristics
of the navigable waterways employed
and the number and size of the yes
sells which can be used thereon.
The Importance of canals as reg.
uIators of freight rates, 1t is shown
is much less than formerly. Relative
to rivers, 1t is stated that their in
fiuence on railroad charges varies with
the length of the navigable route. ant
also with the depth. wharfage facili.
ties, etc The Mississippi is parallelet
on both sides by railroads operating
] long trains over easy grades at the
least possible cost. River steamers
can still underbid the railroads t,
some extent on local traffic, but they
are at a disadvantage in loading d
terminal expenses, and in insurance oi
risk, as well as on account of the ris,
J and fall in the river. 1t Is claimed tina
the railroads take traffic at undul,
low rates along the river and at com
/. Ipetitive points generally, and recoul
themselves by high charges at non
competitive points.

While the development of the pub

has been along those constant lines
which make 1t not so appreciable.

object is the first school building still

and is used today as a dwelling, hav-
ing been remodeled.
The two rooms forming a part Of
the composite building were later NOV
ed to the present site of the Longfellow

rooms were separated and moved TO

as dwellings. They, also, are still used

Still later 1t was vacated but was again

for its maintenance as well as giving
the use of the building in which it is
held
This school as has been said before,
is located on lower Front street.-the
cosmopolitan district of the city. The
work is principally among these little
children of foreign parents who are too
young to attend the public schools.
The work is in charge of Miss Bir-
chall, who was the first teacher to
take hold of the work when the school
was established in 1890. Through Miss
Birchalls efforts the work has been
most gratifying and the board of edu-
cation is especially pleased with what
has been done. E-
In her annual report Miss BirchalS
states that the enrolment in this school
is fifty children from the lower Front
street district. During the fall there
was an average daily attendance of
| twenty eight. The pupils are all little
tots and as a consequence during the
cold weather of the winter the average
daily attendance fell off to twenty, but
Miss Birchall is confident that this will
| be increased to the normal number this
| spring.
This school is especially beneficial IN
instilling into these children love for
American institutions and especially
for the public educational branch
They are taught the beautiful lessons
that are received by the average Amer
lean child in their homes but which
these little children miss. This schoo
has also done much in preparing the
foreign children for entrance into the
public schools as many of them are
unable to speak the English language
1t is a most worthy cause and meets
/ with the hearty support of every edu-
| cationalist in the city and state.
