N. o. HIGH SCHOOLS.

The report Of Richard Hayward,
state inspector Of high schools, shows
that wonderful progress has been made
in high school work all over the state
There has been an increase of 4O.3 per
cent in the enrolment of boys and 59.7
in the enrolment of girls in classified
high schools over the last school year.
The report shows that material in
creases have been made in the do
nestle science and manual training
departments and the same can be said
of the other branches of education and
training.
This report is highly pleasing. 1t
shows that North Dakota's public edu-
cational system is keeping pace with
its development in other lines. This
is as it should be. There is probably
no factor that plays so great part in
the welfare of the commonwealth as
the high schools. In a great many in
stances, in fact in too many instances,
the high school is the final training
before the young men and women are
required to go out into the world. The
higher the standard Of these schools
the better fitted will these young peo-
pie be ia enter the battles of life.
The scope OF work should be very
broad for the accommodations of those
who are unable to secure a college
training and the pupil should be given
a great deal of liberty in choosing
course, or made to choose a course,
that would best fit him for the work
he will take up after leaving school
and that will in all likelihood be his
lifelong avocation.
Undoubtedly the high school is the
most important institution of Aneri-
can education. The boards of edu-
cation and the various school officers
should realize this and bend every eff
fort toward making it not only a place
Of preparation for a higher education
but place to fit the student for the
world to the greatest extent possible.

Travellers Tales

travellers who makes" Fargo. The
genial salesman of stock and bonds IS
very popular among the Fargo young

be socially active with the bunch.

he is one of the most courteous of

sings WELL In fact there was a time
that McBain sang for a very nice SAL
airy. But that time is past. Just by
way of mention, some people think
that McBain is just loaded down with
money. That is because he is selling
stocks and bonds. Mac likes to fool
the public so he just let's them think
he ia rich, but to those who know bet
ter he is Just his own congenial self.
Besides being taken for very rich
man, McBain is sometimes taken for
a. professional man. He has the suave
way about him that brands some pro-
fessional men and his genteel fashion

Recently while McBain was in the
city he was out for the evening with
some of his friends. One of the older
guests at the function took partic-
ular notice of him and also took the
liberty to inquire of the hostess about
the handsome man with the handsome
growth of black hair on his head.
HE seems very nice young man.
What's his profession?" said the older
guest.
Hes a social botanist," replied the
hostess.
"A social botanist. Indeed we have
no such professors itn our eastern
colleges. What Is social botanist?"
ooh, we invite him especially TO
give attention to our wall flowers"

THE GOAT.

If there's question with sting
always ask 1t, You can bet:
l fall for every foolish thing,
My friends at me are laughing yet:
If there's a wallet on the street
With strings attached, I stoop to
pick it,
A brick beneath hat [ meet,
It's ten to one that I will kick It.
Friends come to me with solemn mien,
And say "The street cars stopped to-
day."
With mind contented and serene
ask them why, and then they say:
''To let the people off, of course"
And then they laugh at my chagrin,
And chuckle, too, at my remorse.
HOW easily I'm taken in!
A maiden said: I'm this dark:
Why didn't Moses take along
A porus plaster in the ark?"
Such oversight" said I, Seems
wrong,
Why didn't hep and then she smiled,
And said in tones that rang with
scorn:
Because, you see, oh, simple child,
At that time Moses wasn't born"
There's no denying I'm the goat.
I bite on every hook that's flung,
never seem to learn to note

HELPING TO REFORM.

While there is no reason in the Toll
toian idea that there should be no
penal institutions, it does seem that
there could, with propriety, be some
reforms made in the manner of deal
ing with offenders for whom there is
hope of reform. 1t is undoubtedly
true that in nine cases out Of ten
person who has served a sentence OF
Incarceration is never given the
chance to reform-that is he is never
given any encouragement by his more
fortunate brothers in society.
This matter was discussed at re-
cent meeting Of the International
Prison congress in Washington and in
commenting on the meeting the New
York Post says:
The International Prison congress
at washington took highly important
action when it's delegates, represent
ing thirty seven nations, unanimous
ly endorsed the probation system for
criminals and warmly recommended
it's extension by all civilized govern
ments. The congress declared in it's
resolutions that the effects of proba-
ton are beneficial when applied with
due regard to the protection Of the
community in the cases of persons
who may reasonably be expected to
reform without resort to imprison-
ment, and when the supervision is by
competent officials for a reasonable
length of time-limitations every
where recognized as essential to the
success Of the system. The congress
then went so far as to vote that new
laws on this subject should everywhere
be introduced and old ones extend
ed, and that each state or county
should establish some central state au-
thority to exercise general supervis-
ion over the probation work. Finally,
the congress voted in favor of proba-
ton officers in Juvenile courts. Ma
turally, the American, and particular
ly the New York delegates are jubi-
liant, for, as is not generally known,
of prisoners originated in
this country, and the New York State
Probation commission was the first
body of it's kind the world over No
body can overestimate the significance
of this action at Washington, for 1t
marks another great step forward in
the reform of the treatment Of crimi-
mails.

THE REVOLUTIONARY SPIRIT.

There must be a queer feeling run
ming along the spinal column OF the
European monarchs at this time. Just
what the result of the victory of the
revolutionists of Portugal will have
upon the republicans of the other
states only time can tell. The case
with which a popular government was
established at Lisbon would seem to
be an indication that there Is an ex-
tensive and well organized movement
on foot for government by the people.
Already King Alfonso of Spain is
trembling on his throne and the FAM

LETTERS.

Letter man, give me letter;
You bring me not one any more,
Yet always and always I'm waiting
And watching for you at my door;
And always and always I listen,
To hear the quick tread of your feet,
But always you pass me and stop at
The little white house up the street.
You used to bring many a letter
To me in the days that are gone;
My gate always clicked at your coming.
I'd wait for you here on the lawn.

bark for your hurrying feet;
But always you pass me and stop at
The little white house up the street
And always each day at your coming
She meets you with smiles at the
door;
Her hands are held out for her letter.
And then, when she gets it, before
You turn to be gone, she has hurried
Away to some indoor retreat,
To read there the letters you bring to
The little white house up the street.
But yesterday, when you had been
there,
she paused with her hand on the
door,
And the sun shed halo of glory
About her sweet face, and before
My ears caught the click of your going
Ere you turned up the street to de-
part,
The letter she'd waited and watched
for
was pressed to her lips and her
heart.
So, letter man, leave her the letters;
/ got all of mine long ago;
Tomorrow I'll cut in my garden
The purest white roses that grow,
And they shall be tied with white rib

You shall take them to her, and re-

in
The little brown house down the

NATURES OUTDOOR CHILDREN
1t Is in Mining Camp That they
Are Found at Their Best.

New Idea Magazine: / will admit
that with my eastern prejudice I was
prepared to find mining camp children
quite impossible, says Honore Willsie
in the New Idea Woman's Magazine
for August. What otherwise could

And yet-and yet!-Do you know 1t

mind and body that I found in these
children of desert mining camps! /

tirely isolated, the children would have
grown awkward, uncouth and back

freedom of the out of doors in which
they lived.

BECAME A HERO TOO LATE.


Manila Bay Is Down and Out.
Worlds Work: Drifting about in
the lower east side, New York,
is human derelict known to
the children as candy" They
know him only as an old sailor
who is down and out"-so down
that he scrubs Railways of a foul,
Jewish tenement for 81 a week and
board" that many a dog would not
touch. His bedroom" is so disrep-
utable that he often sleeps by prefer
ence in the park or in the hallway.
But ANDY" is neither "bum" nor
an applicant for charity. He stands
erect upon his feet, in spite of his
73 years, and looks every man square
ly In the eyes when he talks-and
there is no whine in his voice. And
if any citizen of the east side is
looking for fight, an insult to ANDY
will quickly bring 1t.
For candy" is not only sailor
he is a veteran of the American navy.
He knew Admiral Dewey when he
was Commodore" Dewey, and Andy
as quartermaster on the Olympic and
had charge of the steering Of the bat
tleship when it crept into Manila bay.
He left the Olympic only when the
snip went out of commission, after
Admiral Dewey's triumphant re-
turn-and soon thereafter the old
quartermaster was put out of COM
mission. q
The circumstances do not matter
greatly. He got drunk and into
trouble with an officer-and with a
dishonorable discharge, he had to
leave the navy in which he had served
with credit for nearly thirty years.
