Don't forget
August Bird, 4th and 9TH
Are the three dates of that
Cavalier County's First Annual Fair.
From some sections of the country
come complaints of too much rain and
fears of the crop being affected by black
rust.
Langdon people are busy with their
preparations for the big crowd of visi-
tors to be cared for during the three
days of the Cavalier county fair, August
Bird, 4th and 9Th.
Crops are headed out in fine shape
stands about three feet high-in fact
never looked better. The best feature
of the 1909 prospective crop is that there
are no poor spots.
Edmore's baseball team failed to show
up yesterday for their Langdon game to
be Played in the afternoon. Their non
appearance is understood as being due
tothe condition of the roads and other
matters.
Another large delegation of Langdon-
ties boarded the excursion train which
left here early this morning for the state
fair at Grand Forks. No less than two
hundred Langdon people are out of town
this week attending the state fair.
In the Saturday game with the Pick
cts at Grand Forks the Clyde team was
shut out. But Sunday thew braced up
and turned the trick on the Pickets win
ming in a fast played game with a score
of 5 to /. Clyde played Reid, the Lang.
don third baseman in both games and
they feel quite elated in coming back
from their Forks trip with an even break
with the Pickets.
The Langdon ball tossing aggregation
known as the "Monkeys," played two
away from home games last week in
which they sustained a l6 to O shut-out
at Osnabrock and a wallop of II to 2 at
Milton Owing to being shy of several
of the regular players on their team the
''Moakeys' claim to have hardly been
looking for the big end of it. They
have games arranged for this week in
which it is expected to even up the walk
away the other fellows got.
Postmaster John McGauvran received
2 telegram Tuesday afternoon sent him
by Congressman L. b. Hanna from
Washington D. c., telling of his being
re-appointed as postmaster of Lang.
don by President Taft and the con-
firmation of che same by the senate. As
all or nearly all of our readers are aware
the Langdon postoffice is a government
job that has been %"hung-up" by North
Dakota representatives at Washington,
ID. c., a long time; they not having been
able to agree as who should receive the
appointment. Since the death of H. d.
Parsons, a year ago, the appointment
which has just been given to Mr.. Nc
Gauvran has been sought by Mr.. Robert
Meiklejohn. Recently however, the con-
test has lost considerable of Its former
interest and a more unanimous satisfac-
tion shown in Postmaster McGauvran's
re-appointment.

Love, Not Discipline,
Should Rule School
Room, Says DIR. Kuhn

When he was in New York some
time ago on trip during which he
studied the school systems of a score
or more of eastern cities, DR.. Charles
+. Kuhn, president of the Detroit
board of education, made an address to
the young women of the Washington
Irving high school of New York on the
psychology and atmosphere most effect
i've in the schoolroom. The talk has
been printed in the Journal of Educa-
ton, published at Boston. In it DR..
Kuhn says:
"The center of the whole thing is
not superintendent and course of
study as many seem to think, but the
essence of the school system is the
spirit of the teaching. Teaching is
mostly an affair of the heart. The
teaching spirit springs from love and
not from intellect. The pedagogic fell
lows have done much to squeeze all
the affection out of teaching, but the
girl who is able to get through the
training school without getting all the
mOtherly feelings frozen out of her
will find that the spirit of kindness is
the greatest assurance of success that
there is.
"Many teacher likes to boss every
thing. Her voice and manner acquire
a dOmineering tone. She has all alb
surd idea that she must keep order
first and teach afterwards. She begins
picking on the restless youngster and
the first thing she knows she has him
ptted against her, using up her time
and patience and sometimes working
her up to nervous reakdown. | see
well trained girls wearing themselves
out by going at this question of order
in the hardest way, with the domi-
neering spirit.
al won't have disorder" she declares
to her class. If | find any one chew
ing gum I'll stick it OH his nose. She
lectures naughty children in the pres
ence of Others. She fills the air
with suggestions of trouble and they
grow and multiply in abundance. On
the other hand there is the older spirit
of the teacher. Dignity and severity
have no exalted place in it. She let's
herself love the children.
"She leaves the troublesome young
ster alone until she has gained the
good will of the others. Then she be-
gins on him. She laughs at his oppo-
sition; she will not take him seriously;
he sees that he is not wearing her out;
he finds the public spirit against him.
The insulting and disobedient child
who finds himself alone in loyal
community is getting the most effec-
tive cure that can be administered.
BY degrees the sisterly teaching is
finding out the good points in him and
giving them a chance to work.
Don't make mistakes by magnify
| ing the corrective side of your office.
Correcting faults is negative. Be pos
tive; search out excellence, foster and
encourage them. Praise is an inspir-
| ing force; blame is often stop to all
action. Get the atmosphere right"

ROD AND REEL CLUB
TELLS A FISHY TALE
Members AIlege That Many Pounds
of Fish Are NeedlessIy Wasted
by Careessness Each
LReA

The Southern California Rod and
Reel club met yesterday evening at
Burbank hall. The greater part of the
meeting was given over to a general
discussion Of the new surf law, which
prohibits the taking of corbina, yellow
fin or spotfin croaker with a net, AL
though but few violations of this law,
which was passed through the influ-
ence of the Rod and Reel club, have
been reported, 1t is believed by many
members of the club that the California
Fishermen's Protective association,
which has been recently formed, is but
a blind and that the real purpose of
the association is OF have the new surf
law, obnoxious to the fishermen, re-
pealed.
Fish Are Wasted
It was also alleged by several OF the
members that thousands of tons of bar
racuda are annually destroyed. This is
brought about by the refusal of the
Los Angeles commission houses to low
er their rates, and that when an ex-
ceedingly large quantity of fish Is re-
ceived the surplus is charged back to
the fishermen and destroyed, 1t Is also
believed that the numbers of many
kinds of fish are gradually decreasing,
the decrease being attributed to the
now extensive use of nets, especially of
gill nets. Frequently when gill nets
are used many more fish are caught
than can be used, the surplus going to
waste Some of the members advo-
Gated that no nets be allowed within
the three-mile limit. while still others
believed that there should be close
season for salt as well as for fresh
water fish.
Awards Made
IT was also decided to hold grand
fish barbecue in the near future, prob
ably at Huntington Beach. Commit
tees were appointed for this purpose.
The coveted SO and blue buttons were
awarded as follows:
r. C. Gay, Brooklyn, N. Y. 30 pound
ounce yellowtail on 3-6 tackle; award
ed 3-6 button.
b. n Rotterdam. San Dimas, 81
pound 12 ounce yellowtail awarded
