EIinihiIitY Discussed.

The most important subject discussed
in the high school athletic association
was that of eligibility. 1t was decided
that contestants in athletic events must
carry at least three subjects and make
a passing grade in them. Another i'm
poftant ruling was that only classified
high schools be admitted to the league.
The amended constitution embodyins
these changes must be ratified by the
members of the league before it be-

Alfred Dean, who finished the two
years medical course at the undver-
stty last spring and entered Jefferson
medical college last fall for his last
two years work, returned for the sum
mer vacation Thursday. He saws that
after years work side by side with
boys who took their first two years
work In various high grade medical
schools he is more than pleased that
he took his first two years at the uni
versfty. This is simply another testi-
monial as to the character of work done
by the university medical college. Last
year John Heatherington, who did his
hrFt two years medical work here was
one of the honor men at Jefferson med
ical college. A short time ago word
came from Rush medical college that
Sverre Oftedahl, who entered there
from the university of North Dakota
and worked beside men who had
done their first two years work at the
university of Chicago, had been award
ed an assistantship in the department
or pathology. These recognitions of
our two-year medical students show
that the work done in the university
two-year medical course is as good as
any done in the country. This, takeri
in connection with the fact that it saves
the student from $500 to $500 on the
two years course amply justifles the
existence Of the college.

In an interview with Amos Even,
he gave the following facts concern
ing Trail county: Considerable fruit
is being raised with much success.
The farmers are beginning to diversi-
fly and are growing considerable clover
and corn. Datus C. Smith who operates
four sections grows as much as a
section of clover at time, and those
who have seen his clover fields pro-
nounce them the best they have ever
seen. With corn and clover being
grown, stock raising comes as a nat
ural result. A great many of the
farms are very large, but are being
broken UP as people from Iowa, I'LL
nois, Indiana, Wisconsin and the east
ern states are buying. They usually
secure from $50 to 800 acres and carry
on diversified farming with a rotation
of crops and stock. Trail county is
located in the Red river valley so it
has very rich soil which seems to
growing of clover, corn and fruit.
In places it needs drainage which is
being worked out in a cooperative
way.
With so many OF it's citizens taking
a course at the agricultural college
rapid progress viii made in making
Trail county one of the first in this
state from the standpoint of agricuI-
ture.

Very successfuI.

The conference this year, which met
May 20 and 81, was by far the most
successful that has been held SO far
A number OF questions were considered
and several recommendations were
made to the high school board. In
the defamation contest there were
thtrty-seven entries representing sew
enteen different high schools. The de-
bate which was to decide the state
championship was spoken Of by those
best qualified to judge as an excellent
piece of work. The track meet was the
most enthusiastic ever held on the uni
versity field. All the state records ex-
cept two were broken. There were
eighty entries representing the follow
ing schools: Fargo Grand Forks, MI
not, jamestown, Valley City, Devils
Lake, Ellendale, Lidgerwood, Cando,
Grafton, st. Thomas, Cavalier, Bath
gate, Hannah, Rolla, Langdon, Willis
ton, Crystal, Park River and Drayton.

Recommendations Made.

In order to secure more uniform work
in the high schools the conference rec
commended that a committee composed
of the president OF the university, the
superintendent of public instruction
and the state high school inspector
appoint committees to prepare a sylla
bus for each of the four high school
constants, English 1, II, Ill, Advanced
United States history, and civics, which
must be included among the fifteen
credits required for graduation from a
first-class high school. The question
of who should prepare the state high
school examination papers was con-
sidered and it was decided to recon-
mend that they be prepared by the
high school superintendent and edited
by the president of the university and
the state high school inspector. The
practice of allowing credit for pen
manship and spelling in the high school
was abolished. The present rule OF the
board requiring that a student should
spend the whole Of the required time
in studying a subject in order to re-
ceive for it was upheld However the
board has full power to exercise len
iency in exceptional cases. The state
high school inspector was instructed
to take a vote of the high schools on
the plan of having all the high schools
open on the third Monday in Septem-

has the happy faculty of instructing
and entertaining at the same time. His
manner and voice are most pleasing,
and his Interpretation is impersonal,
revealing that he is well qualified to
interpret such works. This was GER

cially so since we have not the oppor-
tunity of hearing such plays. But the
literary treat was not the only one in
store. The music by the normal or

very effective. These organizations
