Valuable Asset--Mill Soon Be One Of
Largest Schools in State

The attendance at the Minot College
OF Commerce has reached the hundred
mark. in fact, exactly Ill students
are enrolled: They may be consid-
cred as the cream Of the northwest

in this part Of the state is represent
ed. The college, under the manage
ment Of Prof. Stossmeister, has been
growing very rapidly, and before long
it will be necessary to secure larger
quarters, though there is still room
for more New students are arriving
weekly.
A representative of the Independent
visited the college Monday afternoon,
and stepping into the large room
where the business department is To-
Gated, we found half hundred or
more young people very much inter-
ested in their work. They were do
ing an actual banking business, writ
ing checks, notes, balancing accounts,
etc. The system taught in this col
lege will enable a graduate to step
out into any position. An adding ma
chine is a part of the very modern
equipment. Mental and rapid arith'
metc are taught and special attention
is given to letter writing and the cor
rect use of the English language. Pen
manship is not overlooked and the
graduate from this institution must
know how to spell. We could not
help but think how much more i'm.

your lives, bitterly, too. 1t is a
shame for any healthy child to re.
main out of school these beautiful win
ter days. Don't be shiftless and i'm
provident enough to ide away the
time at home, If there is school
house within two and oneJhalf miles

quires intelligence The subject Of
education is, so broad, SO varied, so
deep, so allabsorbing that l cannot
say much today, nor in any one day,
for that matter. So / shall take up
the subject in topics, each topic head

This writing, dashed"on as the train
is about to pull out Of town, is merely
ain Introductory line or. two and sort
Of opening prayer. I'wfsh that I could
follow my teaching experiences thru
with good, live cartoons and give the
public a hearty laugh as we'll as an
instructive lesson. In school always
caused my pupil to laugh heartily,
three or four times aSday, this seemed
to steady their nerves, chase away
the blues and make every one study
better. Blues in a, school room are
entirely out of place and many Of the
most serious Jars :abetween teachers
and pupils are caused by "blues." The
teacher feels cross and impatient, dis
couraged and vindiotive, so the atltlos-
phere of the school room becomes
cloudy and !unattractive: pupils be-
cerne restless !and a clash '6nsues, the
trouble usually Is all about something
that might have been easily adjusted
in the mildest possible way,#if the
blue air had not possessed the room
and set things all tOpsy.turvy: Make
up a joke or think of something to
laugh about whenever the blues come
creeping round the corner: Be firm
with your pupils and whenOhe laugh
is over get right down to business
with renewed nerves and work harder
than ever.
