DIRECTOR OF BUREAU RESIGNS

He Is Appointed by President Taft to

Rupture Between Authorities Is

Washington, May 27.-S. N. D.

Taft and it was accepted. E. Dana
Durand, deputy commissioner of cor
porations, has been named to succeed
Mr.. North Mr.. North's resignation is
direct result of his recent contro-
versy with Secretary of Commerce
and Labor Nagel
The following statement in connec-
ton with the case was given out at
the White House:
Director North rendered his res
ignation as director of the census. 1t
was: accepted and the name of Mr.. F..
Dana Durand, now deputy commits
.sioner of corporations, has been sent
in to the senate to succeed him. Mr..
North's resignation was based on the
ground that on account of conditions
existing and likely to continue, his
administration of the census Office
would not probably be successful"
e. D. Durand Succeeds Him.
Mr.. Durand, who succeeds Mr..
North as director, is from California.

He has been in the bureau of corpo-
rations for some time and it is be.
lieved will. work in harmony with
Secretary Nagel.
1t has been supposed up to within
the last few days that the contro
versy between Secretary Nagel and
Director North had been amicably ad
justed. The friction between the two
continued, however, and at last Sec
rotary Nagel put the matter squarely
up to President Taft, saying that
either he or Mr.. North would have to
leave the service, as existing condi
tions between them were impossible
Held Bureau Independent.
Director North held to the belief
that the census bureau was an indie.
pendent institution and that he was
responsible only to the president. A
congressional enactment put the cen
sus bureau under the department OF
commerce and labor, however, and
Secretary Nagel felt that in spite of
the great powers conferred by con
gress upon the director that official
should be subordinate to the cabinet
officer in charge of the department. It
was because of this friction that Di
rector North was finally forced to
step out.

ming steam yachts"
These remarks by DR.. Joseph w.
Cochran, secretary of the Presbyterian
board of education, caused great in
terest in the Presbyterian general as
sembly yesterday.
DR.. Cochran. who is from Philadel.
phia, spoke on the report of the board
of education which deplored the lack
of recruits for the ministry. The re-
port was read by DR.. Edgar P. Hill of
Chicago, who stirred the assembly by
his description of the ignorance among
immigrants, due, he. said, to the fact
that no Protestant denomination, and
surely not the Presbyterian. has taken
the trouble to stir up sufficient num-
Der Of ministerial recruits to work
among the people.
"Why can't we get the young men
to preach?" asked DR.. Cochran. "Ill
tell you. In the first place, there is
but little Christianity in the home. If
there is any it. is gone by the time
the young man is ready for an educa-
ton.
Does he go for his education to a
Christian school? Presbyterian
school? No. He goes to Goddess
state university. and when he returns
to his home town he puts religion at
low ebb. And If you ministers find
your churches at low ebb, know where
to place the blame.
THE need in this board of educa.
ton is not for more money, but for
men. Now we cannot Christianize
these state universities. but We can
put a shepherd in charge and in this
way keep these boys in the flock, al.
though they are being educated in
Goddess schools"
LET Rockefeller and Carnegie alone
go into your own pockets for col
lege endowments," was the advice Of
DR.. J. c. Steffen of Dubuque. Ia. in an
address before the assembly to-day.

oago instead of Atlantic City ia tax
ing the lead as the next meeting
place, but the subject was not Off

ooked at in undertaking dairy
farming. Chief among these are
the selection Of stock, the growing
of proper feeds, the time and care
necessary to success.
Dairy farming may pay in two
ways, and both could be taken
into account. There is the direct
cash return from the butter, or
milk, or cream sold, and there is
the indirect return that comes from
a better system of farming, in
Guiding the return to the soil of
the fertilizer produced on the
farm.
One Of the standing objections
to dairying is that you get nothing
for your work. A ton of barn
yard manure is worth, as ferti.
ger, about $3.50. In other words.
the value of the manure offsets
the labor of caring for the animal.
This has been figured out with a
considerable degree of care by
various men. and may be taken as
fairly correct.
The labor accounted for, it is
necessary to show that your herd
turns over its feed. with a fair
degree of gain. It is essential to
success in the work that $lO0

500 worth of dairy products.
So on the one hand we have the
direct money earning power Of the
COW, on the other the soil improve.

dairy man who fails to account fol
both Of these is likely to lose
money. The three places where
money lis likely to be lost in the
business is poor luck, poor care
and poor markets.

The superintendent Of schools
for Billings county is preparing
a circular letter addressed to the
school officers and teachers in the
county to investigate all cases
where it appers that pupils have
an intermittent attendance or are
not attending schools that are in
session; the compulsory attendance
law, enacted at the last session of
the legislature, is rather drastic
and the parent guilty of violating
the law by keeping a child of
compulsory attendance age out of
school does not even have a first
notice of offense served; the first
notice is a warrant issued from the
justice court summoning one to
answer the complaint.
The superintendent states that
the organization of large number
of schools within tie past two or
three years has entailed consider
able work on the school officers and
now that the schools are opened,
attendance must follow.
On December 1st there were 100
teachers teaching in Billings coun-
ty; as all schools are not in ses-
sion at any one time it appears
that the county is we'll equipped
with schools.
