members. This paper is supported by
the paid subscriptions Of the high
school pupils, the board of education
and the advertisements of the most
reliable business men of Fargo. Each
I year finds many pupils contributing
articles to The Cynosure. 1t has on
its exchange list over 100 high school
papers from all over the United States.
The football, basketball and track
work make up the athletics of the
high school. A competent coach is in
charge who directs all athletic teams.
The physical qualifications are looked
after carefully and on one allowed on
the field whose physical condition will
not permit OF strenuous exercise.
Members of every athletic team have
to maintain a passing grade in their
class work.
There are various musical organiza-
tions, two glee clubs. a boys quartette
and a girls quartette. The high school
orchestra has furnished music on all
occasions. 1t is composed of the best
musicians in the school. A few Of the
members have organized themselves
into a mandolin and a guitar club. All
these have their regular rehearsals
and are under competent directors.
The four classes are organized sepa-
rately and each has it's staff of officers.
A teacher is elected by each to be its
faculty advisor. At these meetings
strict parliamentary rules are OBJ
served.

Department of commeroe.
The commercial department occupies
the third floor of the high school build.
Ing. Desks especially constructed fol
bookkeeping and business practice are
used. Two makes of typewriters are
furnished in the typewriting room This
department is well equipped to train
students for business life. The de-
partment. because of it's rigid require
ment for graduation, is considered by
the pupils on the same level with every
other department. Careful and thor

and all the common branches are stud
led again from the business stand
point The pupil is free to select be-
sides the required work in stenography

other commercial subject work in any
other course. The work in stenographv
consists OF two periods daily for a
year and half. Bookkeeping is also

other courses are for the purpose OF
orlil IN the common branches, together
with the history of commercial under
taklngs and the present commercial
work. Seven will graduate from this
department this year, having taken the
four years course.
Aim of the Commercial Course.
IL is the aim of the commercial yie-
partment of the Fargo high school, to
give the student a general commercial
education, therefore, the department
must be, and is, the equal in disciplin-
ary value and educational scope of any
course in the school.
briefiy stated, it is not only the aim
OF this department to give the reouis-
lite technical equipment for makins
good bookkeepers, stenographers and
typewriter operators, but to 20 far he
yoRd' ana TO give a depth and breadth

sibility and taking initiative, to q

greater or less degree. Hence the
commercial course has a two-fold aim :
first: to develop the mental faculties
of the pupil. and especially, but not
exclusively, those most needed In mer-
camille life; second, to impart the tech
nical training necessary TO this work
The following are some of the prin-
cipal subjects required in this depart
ment, and the plan of instruction fol-
lowed:
The Work IN Bookkeeping.
Bookkeeping is by no means an easy
study. 1t lends itself to a treatmen,
which is in no small degree scientific
Much depends upon the system used
The pupil Is made to realize that the
greatest benefit to himself is derived
from individual effort. But little time
Is spent in theoretical work which Is
of little value.
In all this kind of work accuracy
and neatness are the first essentials
therefore thoroughness is always made
a prerequisite In the fundamental op-
erations.
Much emphasis is placed upon an
alysis and drill in journalizing. The
students are made acquainted with
typical and practical transactions for
which they prepare commercial papers
Including statements, receipted hills
vouchers, various forms of notes wifi
endorsements CncIuding legal pointsl
drafts, acceptances, checks. method n,
procedure in opening bank accounts
etc. Cross-checking and detection OF
errors are practiced.
Of the various lines of business
studied banking and manufacturer q
are particularly emphasized because
they give the greatest variety of. busi-
ness relations with a minimum of rep-
etltlon, and bring under consideration
most OF the transactions common to
other lines.
Commercial Arithn1etie.
In teaching arithmetic the aim Of the
subject is to get the student awav from
the method that strives only to Obtain
an answer by the conventional nrocass
or Following the rule, and get him To
seek ana see number relations. Prob
iems OF practical application are Sc
iecten and business methods of solu-
tion taught. Daily drills are given in
rapid addition. In methods OF com
putting interest, trade discount bank
discount billing, ETC., much practice Is
REQUIRED. There is a vast difference
between understanding arithmetic ns
a silence and the ability to use II ran
ioIy and accurately in business reIa-
tions. GIG
The Shorthand Course.
In both writing and reading short
hand, absolute accuracy is necessary
TO think accurately; to observe accu-
rately. 1t is deplorable that the yoa
1orlty of candidates for the study q,
shorthand are handicapped with slov-
emily mental habits. Many young peo-
pie have been so accustomed to care
less habits Of reading and writing that
IT is hard for them to realize what ac-
tual precision is, to say nothing of
scientific precision.
Owing to the exegencies Of rand
work and the consequent inability ia
make the characters with any degree
of exactness, results in the discourage

ment for the time being, and failure II
persisted in.
Typewriting.
Until the advent OF touch typewrit-
ing, calling attention, as IL did, to the
Importance of this subject, more can
didates were deficient in typewrlting
than ia shorthand. To copy a docu-
ment with accuracy looks to the un..
initiated like trivial matter, worthy
OF but little time or effort. The fact
is patience and persistent practice are
necessary to successfully accomplish
the end in view.
The kind OF work that is turned out
| from tbs typewriting machine is u.s.
ually the final test OF usefulness in an
| office position. Therefore insistence
upon accuracy is the only pathway to
speed-speed and accuracy combined
being the means to success.
Commercial Geography.
Commercial geography should take
| high rank In the school curriculum
1t gathers its data from every field
Of practical knowledge. It recognizes
the part played by science and inven-
ton. 1t takes account of the influence
of religion and social customs on the
production and exchange of products.
1t deals with the operations and in
terrelations OF various institutions of
business, therefore special attention
Is made to emphasize casual Sc
quences; causes and effects are clearly
pointed out; contrasts and compari-
| sons OF countries are studied; signifi-
canoe of the different regulations of
different shipping lines are discussed; :;
with what countries and with what
commodities is the foreign trade of
the United States increasing, is in
vestigated.
Photographic influences, character
istics, positions, natural divisions. raw
material, etc, are carefully noted
the aim being to give the pupil a
knowledge of the world as vast trad
ing community, and of the United
| States as the leading commercial ma
ton.
The fundamental legal principles in
Volved in business and commercial
pursuits are also taken up extensively.
The aim Of this work is to familiarize
the student with those points of law
which are so necessary. The course of
study covers nineteen weeks and is
most complete.
High School Social Features.
The high school endeavors to find a
social place for every student where
his teacher and he may meet on the
same basis. At the same time the
educational side is not neglected, in
that these meetings are of a literary
character. There are two Of these
literary societies, the Kent and the
Phostarian. These give programmes
once in every three weeks. Each So
ciety has a faculty censor whose duty
it is to help drill the pupils in speak
ing, debating, etc. The faculty censor
is appointed by the principal and is
an ex officio member of every commit
tee. After a series OF debates, each
society selects its team which repre-
sents the high school in the North Da-
kota interscholastical debates.
The Cynosure, a monthly publica-
tion, furnishes another literary drill.
The staff is composed of about ten

the first time the student enters the

of it's myriad forms. The cell, the very
Foundation of all organic structures,
can only be known by investigation
such as are made in the biological
courses.

II physicians directed by County
Attorney Alben Barley agree with
DR.. II. p. Sights that Hiram Smedley
former county court clerk, now in
jail awaiting trial on the charge cd
forgery and embezzlement, Is suffer
ing from toxic insanity, a lunacy in
quest probably will be instituted.
DR.. Sights, who examined Smedley
at the instance of his attorneys, said
he thought the drugs Smedley has
been using actually have produced an
abnormal mental condition, accu-
rately toxic insanity. DR.. Sights,
however. believes that with proper
treatment and the elimination of the
drug Smedley can be cured. Smedley
has no money with which to employ
"a physician TO treat him in the Jail
here. and Mr.. Barley said he would
not wish to try the man II there is
much doubt as TO his sanity. II the
case came to trial and proof OF in
sanity was introduced the court
would grant a continuance. but in
that event the same situation would
be met at each succeeding term, I'M
less the prisoner was given treat
ment. Simply cutting of his supply
OF the drug after having used 1t so
constantly for so long a time would
be disastrous.
Mr. Barley is evidently impressed
with what DR.. Sights has said, since
the latter agrees In the main with
what County Physician Young has
said, that the condition is produced
by a drug. Other physicians will be
asked TO examine the prisoner for
the county attorney.
II Smedley is sent to the asylum
at Hopkinsville and Is cured he will
be returned to the jailer here and

COUNTY EXEMPTED FROM
BLIZZARD POND EXPENSE

McCracken county will be exempt
from the assessment of $1,15O for
the drainage of Blizzard pond. This
verdict was returned yesterday after
noon by the jury after 1t had visited
the pond. and heard the arguments
yesterday. The county officials
thought 1t would be necessary for
the county to erect a permanent
bridge of concrete or iron over the
ditch at the Oaks Station road, and
with the assessment would be too
much for the county's expense. The
Realty Development company con-
tended that $3.50 would erect a
bridge of sufficient strength.
