RAMSEY co. SCHOOL DIRECTORS
AND CLERKS DEEPLY INTER
EsTEp IN ApvANcT-
MENT.

Devils Lake, N. D., Dec. 16.--The an
nual convention OF Ramsey county
school officers met in the court house
in this city at two o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The attendance is the larg-
est In the history OF the organization,
Hon. Silver Serumgard of this city
president Of the association called the
meeting to order and after a brief
statement OF the object OF the assoc
citation introduced state Seuperintend-
ent w. L. Stockwell. who addressed
the members for an hour or more in
his usually entertaining and instruc-
| tive manner, on the general topic OF
Waste
He spoke of the waste of our ma
rional esources-namely, soil, forests,
fuel and minerals--and touched upon
the present movement Of conservation
of resources. He pointed out the
waste due to poor roads and unneces-
sary sickness. He called attention to
that fact that we are wasting several
billion dollars annually in the use of
whiskey and tobacco. After making
1t clear that we are wasting much In
these material ways, he showed that
we are not getting proper returns for
the money now expended for educa-
tion. THE principal causes of waste
In education" said he, 'frregularity
in attendance. short terms, courses Of
study not suited to the needs Of the
pupils, physical defects in school chill
dren, improper school conditions so
far as sanitation is concerned and fin
ally the chief waste resulting from
poorly trained teachers" Superintend-
ent Stockwell pleaded that the ex-
penditure Of little money would ell
inmate many IL not all of these causes
OF waste.
Superintendent Haig followed with
an address on The Compulsory School
Law, and excuses. He called attention
to the fact that even with a com
pulsory school law on our statutes,
only IS per cent Of the pupils Of school
age are enrolled in our public schools.
This Is another great source of waste
which can and must be remedied.
County Supt. o. j. Kearns of Rock
ford, Ill, was introduced and gave the
members an entertaining talk. Sup
erintendent Kearns comes from a dis
tinctively dairying country and he
compared the school officers and school
patrons who permit waste in the econ-
omy of the public school system, to
leaky milk cans.

Want Name Chained.

Mandan, Dec. 1s.--A large number
of settlers in the neighborhood of old
Fort Rice are circulating a petition
asking that the name OF the post
office which has been changed to
Gwytner, be changed back to Fort
Rice.
Their petition states that this fam
Gus fort was built by General Sully
and it was from here he started With
his soldiers to fight the Indians In
the Bad Lands, and upon the Little
Knife river in the northern part Of
the state.
1t was at this fort that the early
pioneers Morton county, and all Of
the country west, found protection
against the savage men of the plains.
Many of the old pioneers are still
living and it is their desire that this
name. SO famous in the early history
of the territory and state, shall be
retained as the name OF the post
office at this place in order that it
may be preserved and perpetuated for
all the time.

rival Of Cars Of Coal.

Valley City, N, d., Dec. f6.--The
threatened fuel famine has been
averted for some weeks by the arrival
in the city OF many cars OF coal and
with the prospects for many more to

The city has not yet received any

"a car of smokeless from the Peo-

The Servant
Quest iOn
IT IS AS MUCH OF A PROBLEM
As EVER.

! TUE servant question is Offering a.
much OF a problem as ever, but IL
II all the maids fault? A man who
conducts q model employment agency
In New York city offers this counsel
| to employers: Recognize that serv-
ants are working at a trade, pay the
experts by the hour. give them the best
labor saving inventions. clearly define
their duties, don't order suppers after
the hired girl has ended her days
work, eliminate the talk about social
superiority and recognize the servant
as human being worthy Of consid-
Grafton. Teach ignorant mattresses that
caprice is not popular with women
who sell their time for specific duties"
This is all very well: but, besides,
there Is the question Of good treat
kment In many families, I am sorry to
} say. the servant IL starved; in others
hshe has a dark, badly ventilated room,
with q wretohed bed and broken down
fsfurniture. Bathing facilities should be
given to every servant, for the best
kind Of servant likes to keep as neat
Aas her employer.
The good mistress adds to these nee
essaries Of life the use Of books and
magazines. of the sewing machine, oc-
easional tickets to entertainments and
gifts of discarded garments.
On the other hand, a mistress who is
: tafr to her maid need not stand for the
breaking of dishes due to carelessness.
These may reasonably be deducted
from the wages Excessive going out
OF evenings may be curtailed also.
The entertainment of friends from
the family larder is in nowise 20 be
countenanced, and the work should be
performed according to the schedule
drawn up by the employer.
When employing a general house,
work girl II is often customary to hire
extra help for wash day also. The
rough work in housekeeping is often
delegated to help from the outside.
The serv mt has no right to object
to her employer entering the kitchen
to make pies, cakes, ETC.. but the lat
ter should avoid conflicting with the
homework or leaving undue numbers
of soiled dishes.
Many a nervous woman loses a good
servant by nagging. This is a great
mistake.
The rule is after a servant is 'bro-
ken in to leave her alone in the per-
formance OF her duties and never to
keep maid who shows that she pre-
fers her own way to that of the wo-
man she Is working for.

EGAN COURTED HIS
WIFE BY MAIL
NORTH DAKOTA EDITOR MAR.
RIED AT sTREAToR HAD DE-
CIpEDLY ROMANTIC
couRTsHIP.

Speaking of the marriage OF Howard
Egan, editor OF The Tagus. IN. d.
Mirror. the ottawa, Ill, Free Trader
says:
AS the elimination OF a courtship
carried on almost entirely through the
mails, Miss Beulah Sandry Of Streator,
and Howard Egan, a banker and
editor Of Tagus, N. D., secured a mar
riage license at Ottawa.
Two years ago Miss Sandry was
visiting in Grand Ridge and at the
home OF mutual friend met Mr..
Egan, who was visiting in the village
from North Dakota Though their
companionship on this occasion was
necessarily brief, the personality Of
each impressed itself upon the memory
Of the other.
When they had parted at Grand
Ridge and Mr.. Egan had returned to
his western home he wrote a letter
to Miss Sandry. This opened a cor
respondence and as the moon bright
ened and waned and other lovers
wandered through shaded lanes or
sat together by dreamy firesides, the
missives flying between streator and
Tagus grew warmer and Travelled
faster. ,e-tl
Wednesday Mr.. Egan arrived In
Streator 1t had been two years
since he had seen Miss Sandry but
the arrangements were all made by
mail and the license to marry was se-
cured. The couple left after the we'd
ding for the groom's home, where
they will reside.
Mrs. Egan is a prepossessing young
lady and is quite popular in this city.
Mr.. Egan is one of the prominent
men of North Dakota.
Either might have found life COM
panion in his or her home city, but
the fates chose otherwise.
