Noted Prelate Says Most of the

Washington, Jan. Utmost

said Cardinal Gibbins in an in

prices, when they are not earn

some years ago when prices
where not 80 high"
The cardinal was unable to
assign a reason for the high
prices that prevail, but he said:
Something evidently is wrong
when many of the commonest
necessities in food are priced
at u c h enormous figures.
Something must be done to
put prices of food on a reason

which will bring this about I
indorse."

there is not now any. valid
reason why the State Educa.
tionai Institutions should ab.
sorb all the funds available for
appropriation for educational
purposes. A careful study of
appropriations made by the
legislatures of 1907 and 1909
shows that $1,345, 600 was ap.
priated to eight state educa-
tional institutions namely, the
University, t h e Agricultural
College with it's experimental
stations and work the two Nor
NAL Schools, the Normal and
Industrial School, the School
OF Forestry, the Science School
and the State High Schools.
This vast amount was largely
for permanent improvements.
Add to this practically 1920, 600
more raised by direct tax for
maintenance for the years 1907
1908, 1909 and 1910 and you
have So 265,000 expended by the
state upon higher education in
four years. This ia proper. Not
a cent too much. However,
let US not forget that the rural
school is the foundation upon
which all this superstructure
must rest. If the rural school
is weak the whole educational
system is weak. The institu-
tions of higher alerning can
help solve the rural school
problem by saying to the next
Legislature, we individually
and collectively ask that when
the amount set aside for edu.
cation is determined upon. that
first of all not less than $4,000
ehall be set aside as an annual
appropriation to aid to stimu-
late the rural school and thus
solve the rural school problem.
We mmend this to tn e ir
earnest consideration.

G. M. GRAY TRIED
Judge w. S. Lander Of This City
Succeeds in Bringing in Yer
dict for Defendant.

During the latter part of last
week the attention of the Fed
eral Court at Fargo has been
taken up largely in the trial of
the case of United States
against c. NJ. Gray. Mr.. Gray
was charged by the Govern
ment with having uttered aud
published a false and forged
writing for the purpose of de.
frauding the United States.
The indictment grew out of a
land transaction in the U. S.
Land Office at Minot. Gray
was at one time located at
Portal and later was in busin.
ess in Crosby, North Dakota.
The case was prosecuted on
behalf of the Government by
Assistant United States Dis
trict. Attorney w. H. Barnett
and the defense was very ably
handled by Judge W. S. Lauder
of Wahpeton. On Monday
morning the jury very prompt
ly brought in a verdict of mot
guilty" Much credit is due
Judge Lauder in the way he
handled the defense for Mr..
Gray and especially in his
eloquent address to the jury.

WITH THE
RURAL SCHOOLS
How Can the Institutions of High
or Education in North Dako-
ia solve the Rural School
Problem2

the recent State Educational
Association at Minot was the
centering of the attention OF
all educators upon the import.
ance Of. the Rural School in the
educational economy of this
etate. The county superintend.
ents at their conference last
August said I'VE believe that
the most important single edu-
cational interest IN North Da-
kota is the rural school," The
State Educational Association
at Minot said, 1--WE recognize
the rural school as the most
importent factor in the educa-
tion of the state" That being
accepted, it would appear that
the rural school deserves larger
consideration at the hands of
those who determine the edu-
cational destinies of this state,
who mould the educational
thought and train the educa-
tional leaders of this state.
There is an insistent demand
for our institutions of higher
education to grapple with the
problem of the rural school and
solve it. We do not mean to
cay that these institutions are
not doing much to help in this
great work. Our N o m a l
Schools are providing special
courses for rural school teach
ers. Our Agricultural College
is pushing the teaching of ele-
mentary agriculture i'm h e
rural school. The University
men are giving much time and
thought to the consideration of
this problem. The committee
of seven is made up of men
taken largely from those who
teach in the higher institutions.
These things are good, but they
do not reach the seat of the
difficulty. The Rural School
needs many specific things, we
shall not recount them here,
but most of all it needs stimu.
lation. This stimulation a n
come only, in our judgement,
thru state aid. State aid for the
rural sch DOL means, first, stan
dardization, second, closer su-
pervision, third, stimulation of
interest in the rural school
and as a result of these three
things will come all the other
improvements which are 80 es-
sentially and vitality necessary.
Ten years ago our H G h
school system was scarcely
worthy the name, today as a
result of the slim mulus of state
aid our high . c h o ols rank
among the very Test in the
northwest. We have earnestly
petitioned for a little aid for
rural schools at the last three
sessions of the legislature. We
have met with bitter apposi.
tion, always in the upper house.
The committee on appropria-
tions in the senate 10 composed
with few exceptions of men
who live in our towns aud ci-
ties and who represent then
our special interest which is
usually some state institution.
We readily recognize that the
demands for these institutions
during the past few years have
been heavy but withal these
demands have generally been
just. We have been proud of
our growth as state. We have
been gratifed with the wonder.
full development of our state
educational institutions. yet'we
firmly believe that the most
pressing demands, at least for
rheavy appropriations for per-
manent improvements, have
been met for the present. that
