At the meeting Of the Board OF
Education on Monday evening. steps
were taken to secure = competent
teacher to take charge of the agri-
cultural department, about April 1st.
He1t. Such men are not very plentt-
hai. but by starting thus early. the
board hopes TO set good man by
the time be il needed One OF the
arst duties Of the teacher In agricpl-
ture. will be to superintend the
planting and improving of the
plot Of ground south Of the court
house. recently purchased by the
board for agricultural demonstration
and experimental purposes.
The Board also decided to give to
the outlying school districts, ON op.
portunity to come in under the law
passed by the last legislature, and
join the Warren school in maintain.
ing an agricultural department, which
strictly speaking will be of greater
benefit to the country districts, than
to residents of the city. The Law
provides that small tax. not less
than one mill nor more than four
mills shall be leived by the districts
joining for the support of the agri
cultural school. This will not a
mount to much. and will be more thar
counter-balanced. by the advantages
that will accrue to the pupils from
these schools. Not only will they
receive free of charge instruction in
agriculture, but also in manual train
ing and domestic science, and, besid
es. the teacher of agriculture will be
at the service of the schools in the
country during the summer months
and can be called upon by the farm
ers for help and suggestions con-
cerning the work on the farm. He
will visit them in their homes, inspect
their farms, study the weed problems
together with them. and endeavor to
make himself useful to the farming
community in many ways. Any dis.
trict i'm Marshall or Polk counties, no
matter where located. can join with
us in this work. and receive these
benefits and privileges All that is
needed is vote of the district to
ioin in this work. 1t is believed
that many districts. especially those
in the immediate vicinity, will want
to come in.

We are pleased to make an an.
nouncement Of great interest to many
Of our friends, in the cities 'neishbor.
ing to Warren. After January nrst
9 new department in music will be
opened. Miss Anna Haxlund. q
music graduate. from the well known
Conservatory. At St. Peter, has been
engaged by North Star College. to
conduct music clas ses in our neigh.
boring cites. wherever there will be
students enough to make it worth
while to do so. Miss Haglund. is we'll
known as thoro and conscientious
teacher; and not only that, but also
as a splendid and able musician We
feel proud of our splendid teachers in
; all of our departme nts: and We feel
glad whenever We can. add new tai
ent, to our North Star College force
That our good people have full con
: :idence in the work carriel on, is
clearly evidenced by the large and in
creasing attendance in all depart
ments
After this it will not be necessary
for students to come to Warren to
begin to study music. A very good
beginning can be made at home. un-
der the efficient instruction of Miss
Haglund. There are several rea
sons why it is better for student
to enroll as a student of North Stal
College. The one who takes some
work wants to have something tC
show for it. No private instructor
can give any evidence worth while
but work pursued under the super
vision of a school, is recognized in 4
number of ways The fact that a
person is or has been student of a
well known institution. that fact alone
adds influence and prestige. The
name gets into the school catalog
certificates and diplomas are granted
and the student is helpe1 to secure
| work.
These and many other reasons
make it of special personal interest
to enroll with North Star College.
1t might be well to POINT out one
more advantage resulting from TAX
ing work from college teacher: the
work will be better graded and super
vised, and it will be easier to con
tinue with more advanced work
There will also be greater interest
and therefore greater ambition to Dc
really good work.
Work will begin after January first
All interested should write to NORTH
Star College.

RED CROSS STAMPS

me american Red Cross, whose
Christmas Stamps are familiar
feature Of the holiday season in every
community of the United States, is
the greatest relief organization in the
world. The sale Of Christmas Stamps,
which last year amounted to more
than $4,000, is but an incident in the
sum OF its extensive activities. It is
the accepted almoner Of the American
people when any community suffers
from an overwhelming calamity.
Since its reorganization under
special act Of Congress, in Jan. 1905,
the Red Cross has expended an aver
age Of more than $1,000. 900 year in
relief operations. The foundation
upon which this great organisation is
established, is found in the Charter
given by act of Congress which, In
defining the purposea Of the Red
Cross, says:
To furnish voluntary aid to the
sick ana wounded Of armies in time
;of war" and, ITO carry on a system
Of national and international relief In
time Of peace, and apply the same in
mitigating the sufferings caused by
pestilence, famine, fire, foods and
other great national calamities, and
to devise and carry on measures for
preventing the same"
It will be noted that Congress in.
tended that the Red Cross should not
confne itself to the relief Of suffering
caused by calamity, but that It should
devise and carry on measures for pre-
venting calamity so far as practicable.
It is under this provision Of its Char
ter that the organization il undertak.

PHILIPPINE BASE
MAY ATERT CONTEST.
Compromise BetUeen Army
and NaUy Vie7cS Probable.
fFrom The Trlbune Bureau.l


Washington, Oct. 39.--What promised To
prove an animated conflict between the War
and Navy departments over the Philippine
naval base appears to be well on the way
Il settlement through a compromise propo-
sition which is receiving the favorable con-
sideration of the General Board
The Navy Department it will be recalled.
undertook the establishment Of a naval
base at Olongapo on Subig Bay. The float
ing drydock Dewey has been sta toned there,
some buildings have been erected. and GER
tain machine tools which were part Of the
plant at Cavite have been installed ar the
new establishment On representations
made by the War Department officials that
olongapo was practically impossible of de-
fence from the land slide. work there has
been suspended. and preparations were even
made 10 send back TO Cavite the machinery
recently transferred to the Sub;g Bay sta
tion.
AS has been said, a compromise PROPOSE
ton is likely 70 be adopted which will meet
the views Of both army and navy officers
and command the approval OF the Presi-
dent The details Of this proposition are
still held in confidence. and cannot, there
fore, be disclosed ct this time. It may be
said. however, that the proposition saves
the face OF the naval officers, and that
those who are curious regarding the solu-
ticn of the difficulty should not overlook
the dual availability OF Olongapo and Cor
regidor Island
