Head for Girls Industrial School
Is Selected
A WISE CHOICE MADE
Mrs. Fannie French Morse of Ian.
caster, Mass, Chosen for the
Responsible Place

Mrs. Fannie French Morse of Lam
caster, Mass, has been elected super
intendent of the Girls Industrial
School of Sauk Centre.
The news was received here on
Tuesday both by DIR, J. A. Dubois
and The Herald. The latter was in
formed by letter from C. E. Vasaly
of the State Board of Control announ-
cling the selection. In his letter Mr..
Vasaley says:
"Mrs. Morse's work as superinten-
dent of the Lancaster school has made
her a national reputation, and we feel
that we are very fortunate in securing
her services. Her labors will begin
some time next year"
1t will be remembered that Mrs.
Morse visited Sauk Centre a few
weeks ago in company with Mrs. Geo.
w. Stewart of St. Cloud and MessIs
Ringdahl and Vasaly of the Board OF
Control. At that time the Board was
negotiating with Mrs. Morse with a
view to securing her services as super
intendent of the Sauk Centre school:
in fact the position had already been
informally offered her. She had not
at that time decided to accept. When,
recently, she accepted, the Board for
mally ratified the bargain by electing
her to the place. The publication,
in St. Cloud paper few weeks ago,
that Mrs. Morse had accepted the
place, was premature.
The plans for the buildings are
being prepared, and with the opening
of Spring, work will begin. 1t is hoped,
say the members of the Board of Con-
troll, to open the school not later than
next November, if not earlier.
In this connection, it may be said
that the publisher of The Herald,
while in St. Paul Tuesday, met Judge
Grier M. Orr of the Ramsey county
court, who for the past fifteen years
has handled all the Juvenile cases be-
fore that tribunal. The judge spoke
warm words of commentator for the
plan of separating the girls from the
boys in the industrial school and pre-
dicted bright future for the Sauk
Centre institution. Judge Orr ranks
along with the famous Judge Ben
Lindsey of the Denver municipal
court in the matter of handling juve-
nile court cases.

Origin Of the Oath.

Among the different nations the
mode Of administering the oath varies.
Formerly the custom was in this coun-
Try by kissing the Bible. At the pres
ent time the more general manner is
BY raising the right hand ~ =,
II Among the many things for which
the world is indebted to the Jew is the
mode Of administering the oath. It
dates back to the days Of Abram, the
patriarch, who. when offered by the
king Of sodom to take the goods to
himself made answer. II have lift up
mine hand unto the Lord, the most
high God, the possessor Of heaven and
earth. that will not take from a

Gestures Part Of Talk.

There is a man who from very

Spanish is the almost universal tongue.
From force Of this training he. speaks
Spanish perfectly. He has not the
slightest trace Of an English accent,
and persons who do not know that he
Us of American parentage are willing
to believe he is Spaniard. merely
from hearing him talk. He Is so per-
fectly bilingual that it shows even in
his gestures. When talking with Eng
lish speaking persons he sits quietly
and does his conversing with his mouth
alone. Only in case Of making point
most emphatically does he use ges-
ture. But the moment he drops into
Spanish his every word is accompa-
MED by movement Of the hands or
arms. 1t is interesting to watch the
change from the English to the Span
ish side Of him, because 1t comes 50
suddenly. He really can't speak Span
ish without gesturing.-New York Sun.
