BOOSTS RoLLEY.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press admires
the good work being done in this state
by Professor Bolley Of the A. C. In a
recent editorial it says:
In North Dakota more attention is
paid to the quality of the seed used
than in most states of the west. At
least it appears from published re-
ports Of the Investigations into seeds
bought by the farmers that the work
is better systematized than i'm many
commonwealth. A few days ago the
leading seed and grain. men of the
state were called together at Fargo for
a conference with II. l.. Bolley, state
seed commissioner, to discuss the pro-
visions Of the seed testing law of that
state.
Professor Bolley said he was glad to
report that firms whose seeds had been
proved incapable of growing had been
promptly Withdrawn from the market.
The state laboratory has tested thou
sands of samples Of grain sent i'm by
farmers and by state inspectors and
much valuable information regarding
testing has been accumulated.
Such work could be undertaken with
profit by every state in the union.

Travellers Tales

When the new head Of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota started to embark
upon his college career, he was called
in by his father for a confidential chat.
AS Bishop Vincent walked to the train
with the young man his parting words
were:
George, my son, always remember
whose son you are"
When Bishop Vincent had reached
ripe old age and the Methodist
church officials thought that he should
be relieved of further duty, the noted
divine did not like to consider such a
proposition. Even though he was
growing old, he desired to be allowed
to proceed in the great work for which
he had given his life.
The wrath of the bishop was so great
that he had to give vent to his feel
ings in some way. He did so by writ
ing long letter to the new presi-
dent, who was then a member of the
faculty of Chicago University, and
who had already achieved a great
name for himself and who was des-
tined to rival his father in the hall
of fame.
The son replied to the letter and in
closing he said:
Father, whatever you do, always
remember whose parent you are"

Trains Going West.
THE RURAL SCHOOLS.

Formerly the rural schools attracted
comparatively little attention among
educators. The teachers-for the
greater part-were young men and
women ambitiousl to earn a little
money to continue their education in
colleges and universities. Many of
them had no technical or normal train
Ing and a. great many more had insult
tcient education to instruct pupils in
even the most rudimentary branches.
The ambition of these teachers to
secure higher educStion was laudable
but it was rather tough on the kids.
The pupils received a very poor foun-
dation for an education-and had little
Inspiration when they were being mis-
taught by a class of incompetents-
unable to pass examinations for second
and third grade certificates.
OF course not all rural teachers were
Of this kind. There were a few emf
/ nently qualified and trained. There
were in each county some noble women
and men who preferred the country
district schools to teaching in the viii
Lagos and towns. 1t was usually not
difficult matter to locate these. They
turned out higher grade and more sue
cessful pupils and were successful in
inspiring their charges with higher
ambitions.
sut the rural school today occupies
more important position In the edu-
cationaI world. Better courses of studv
are being provided.
A great awakening has come. In
stead Of shaping the rural school
courses to lead only to higher courses
the men at the head Of educational
affairs have seen the handwriting on
the wall-and are making the courses

Maxine Elliott.

Fargoans packed the theatre las
night to see Maxine Elliott in The In.
ferior Sex. There isn't much to tht
play, but it isn't necessary. with Miss
Elliott on the stage. There is not 8
dull moment from the first curtain
till the end of the play.
Miss Elliott is the only woman in
the production. She plays the role OF
Eve Addison, a egi1 who sfiasN goth
brain and charm, who has learned
much of the ways of men and has not
forgotten the ways of women; a girl OF
capability, the sort of capability that
is rendered even more capable by the
sweetness of the woman.
Maxine Elliott possesses a manifest
advantage over many other actresses.
She has her audience won the moment
she walks on the stage-though last
evening she was carried on, and this
mode of entrance did not detract one
whit from her charm.
Three people do practically all of the
heavy work in the play. There are
accessories to break the monotony and
give point to the plot; but all the work
is cut out for Miss Elliott. Frederick
Kerr and O. b. Clarence Mr.. Kor,
plays the part of the somewhat selfish
Winslow and Mr.. Clarence is seen on
the role of the servant, Bennett.
1t Is some time since so finished a
piece of work has been given to local
theatre goers as the acting of Mr..
Kerr. He looked the part of the sell
fish, single-viewed bachelor, and there
was not a false vl1ova IN, HE v,,orIy Ias+
evening. Not for one moment did he
drop the character. Mr.. Clarence's per-
Torrance of the servant was another
finished piece of artistic work. Mr.
Clarence might have been tempted to
over do and make a burlesque of the
English servant, as so many actors do
unfortunately. He did not, however.
and like Mr. Kerr he never for one
moment lifted the curtain OF artistic
restraint from the Characterization.
