AT TOWN MEETING
PRES. WORST AND DR.. LEONARD
DISCUSS TWO DIFFERENT
VIEWS OF MODERN EDUCATION
--lNTEREsTINc sEssIoN-MANY
IN ATTENDANCE.

During a discussion of the question,
Is Education Doing What 1t May to
Further Social Progress, between
Pres. ]. H. Worst. OF the agricultural
college. and Rev. Herbert G. Leonard,
d. d.. of the First M, e. church, at
the initial programme meeting of the
Town Meeting held last night, some
very important facts were brought
out.
President Worst made plea for the
education which would prepare the
students Of the country, so per cent of
whom never go beyond the eighth
grade, for the battles of life, mixing
utility and culture and in the end con-
serving the natural resources of this
land. Doctor Leonard believed in a
system of education that would In
still love OF the beautiful in the stu
dent. He contended that the education
of the past sixty years has been very
efficient and was the cause Of the
development of the west.
Both speakers brought out some ex-
cellent points in defense Of their diff
ferent positions and made the first
session of the Town Meeting most
interesting one-so much so that 1t
was the unanimous vote that the
meetings should be continued.
The meeting last night was held in
the assembly room of the high school
building and was quite largely at
tended despite the number of other
things that were going on in the city.
1t proved conclusively that the people
OF Fargo are anxious TO learn those
things which will educate them in
such a way as to better the city in
all respects and make them better and
more useful citizens.
Following the discussion by the
principal speakers, Prof Alfred G.
Arvold, Supt. w. e. Hoover, Rev. C.

hand. The programme was further

LILLIAN TOPPING CLAIMS Seq
REeATIoN OF SOCIAL EVIL
STILL CONTINUES IN FARGO
DOES SOME PLAIN TALKING AT.
COUNCIL MEETING.

There are girls being brought from
outside points in North Dakota and
virtually sold into the life of the white
slave in Fargo; the hollow is still
open; girls are being ruined at the
local stations; I caught baggage man
at the N. p. station and a young
girl together in the baggage room at
a late hour of the night and Big Dan
helped me get the girl out" These
are some OF the statements made last
night at the council meeting by Lii
liam Topping, superintendent OF the
local Florence Crittenton home.
Miss Topping came before the coun-
Gil to plead for funds to provide
detention room at the Crittenton home
and to plead for police matron for
Fargo.
1T is the girl who is arrested for
the first time that we wish to help"
said Miss Topping. cat the present
time there is no place to put a girl
who is picked up by the police, no
matter for what cause, except the cell
at the police station.
There is no one there to look af-
ter girl except policemen. Young
girls should be protected and Fargo
needs a police matron.
Il can prove to you that one ma
dame in Fargo is openly sending out
advertisements of a Fresh importa
ton of girls from Paris /"
At the conclusion of her address
acting Mayor e. E. Cole appointed
Aldermen Amerland, Tiebert and
Bowers as a special committee to
make an investigation and to consider
the request for funds for the deten-
ton room at the home.
