the more careful the teachers
are in the lower grades in grad
ing reasonably closely, and not
allowing scholars to pass to the
next higher grade without
thorough grounding in the fun
! damentals, the less trouble will
occur in the upper grades.
The preparation of all scholars
for the High School is deficient
and the main fault at the present
time seems to lie with the Sew
enth and Eight grades. You
will note the number of failures
in those two grades is greater
than in the other grades, The
ground laid out in the State
Course of Study for Graded
Schools in those grades has not
in some particulars been cover
ed. More careful attention
should be given to the essentials;
Arithmetic, Grammar, Geog-
raphy and History.
In the High School we recon-
mend that the entire first year
class retain their studies for the
year 1910-1911. An exception
could be made in the subject of
Physical Geography. The sub
ject does not depend so much on
the past nor do any subjects of
the second year depend directly
on it. Therefore, the ones mark
ed with passing grade in that
subject could take some other
subject in it's stead next year.
But those who have failed in it
should review it. Regarding the
Latin, let us say that the State
Course has been but half COM
pleted, and the scholars are poor
ly prepared in the ground cover
ed, and we would not recon-
mend at all any other course
than the taking over the same
subject from the beginning, for
all scholars. The same may be
said of Algebra. There is no
one who is ready to begin where
a second year class should be-
gin, and since we would not adj
wise having three Algebra class
es with your limited teaching
force, we would certainly advise
that all scholars take the sub
ject over from the beginning, es-
pecially considering their low
grade in that subject. The ones
designated in Classics with a
''P" might be allowed to take
Sophomore classics.
In the Sophomore class we
find that the only ones who are
really ready for the Junior year
are; Alfred Baker, Erie Ca mp
bell and Lura Smith. The
others would need to be advanc-

Notice To Contractors.

Proposals will be received by the
Board of Directors of school district

erection of two frame school houses.
Plans and specifications will be fur
nished by F. E. Griffin at Meade.
The school board reserves the right
to reject any or all bids.

The Public Schools.

The close OF the school year
should bring to us pause and
careful thought for the future.
The mistakes of the past are
gone, their losses may only part
ly be recouped by extra work on
the part of the pupils. The mis-
takes of the past should be warm
ing for the future. Impotence
and pride OF mastery should be
left entirely out of consideration
of school matters. Above all
other things wrong complained
of should be carefully investigat-
ed and the proper remedy ap-
piled. The fact that complain
ent or compliments are of the
minority, which may-hap, were
of those who lost in their choice
of members of the board should
challenge more careful examina-
ton into their grievance, rather
than it's rejection. Where there
is an alleged wrong the board
should do their duty as such in
the way prescribed by statute.
For the duties of the board can
not be discharged by popular
meeting. A meeting of the pop
ulace is not a court, and can
never be. 1t has not the cool
Judgment tempered with a sense
of personal responsibility to
render such judgment as the
case requires. The latter part
of the term OF the high school
was profitable. The lower
grades so far as we have heard
did we'll and there has been many
words of praise for the conduct
of those grades. The school
failed of it's full purpose at the
top. The final examination for
passing grades by w. D. Ross,
State inspector of high school
training and A. H. Speer of the
Horton high school, which the
board secured was a good thing.
The examination was recognized
by the pupils as fair and neces-
sary, as we'll as for their benefit.
1t was the best thing which has
been done for the schools in
years, or ever before. That
one thing will do more for order,
industry and peace in the schools
than any other thing which the
board for years has done. The
report of the examining board
follows:
Meade. Kansas, May Is, 1910.
To the Honorable Board of Edu-
cation of the City of Meade.
Sirs: In pursuance of your
wishes and after thorough inves-
tigation of the conditions in your
schools, and examination of the
scholars of said school, we SUBJ
NIT the following report.
A summary OF passing and
failing scholars is appended,
which summary suggests that
the ones marked "P" shall be
advanced to the next grade at
the close of the school year, 1909
1910; and that the ones mark
ed OF" shall remain in their re-
spective grades for the year
1910-1911.
This summary will hold good
for all grade scholars, and sug-
gestions will be given on the
standing of the High School
scholars.
Permit us to say i'll this con-
nectlon that the lower grades
were found to be in very good
shape, but that the farther we
went the more care was neces-
sary in the grading and placing
of the scholars.
This emphasizes the fact that

jects in which they have passed
Attention can not be given
here to all cases in the High
School, individually, and a close
inspection of the results of the
examination should be made by
the Board and the new Profess
sor.
We offer the following addi-
tional suggestions:
Supply the few missing helps
to the First, Second, Third and
Fourth grades for their Langu-
age Work.
Allow no mid-year entrances
into the First grade.
Do not advance to any grade
upon any other basis than upon
the basis of grades.
Enforce the Truancy Law.
No one should be allowed, in
the High School, to carry par
tial work, or have the privilege
of attending for part of the day
only unless it be on account of
poor health, certified to by aphy-
sician. Each scholar should
carry a uniform amount of work
which is four studies, except in
the case of especially strong
students who might possibly,
under certain conditions, be al
lowed to carry five.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.
The board have now employed
two OF the teachers for the co m
ing term. Prof. L. M. Comfort
of Pawnee county, a man who
came we'll recommended for his
former services in High School
work, has been employed as
principal, and Miss Belle Ora
ham. who taught in the primary
department the past term has
been employed for the next term.
The board made every effort to
secure a principal who had
been successful in large schools
farther east, but where they Of
fered the position to such a man
the school where he is at pres
ent serving, has in each case
raised his salary. To use
slang term our board has every
time been raised out of the game.
The recommendations and ref
erences brought by Prof. Com
fort are of the best, and the
board has used due care and
taken full time to do the best for
the school.
The schools now are in better
shape so far as being in line with
the State Course than ever be-
fore. There is no apparent
reason why the coming term
should not be successful in every
respect,

sTIMMEL OPENS CAMPAIGN.

Valley City Patriot: Hon. Smith
Stimmel, republican candidate for
governor, spent Wednesday in the
city; and in the evening at the city
hail gave an informal talk to a small
audience. His talk was chiefly on
the duties of the Office to which he
aspires. While he, thought that the
execution Of the laws was one of the
necessary duties, he felt that there
was the unwritten law that was of as
great importance-the obligation that
an executive was under to the state
in promoting the moral uplift Of the
people. He cited the fact that Roose.
veIt's greatest worth to the people,
was not so much what Roosevelt did
in his executive capacity, as what he
did I'm awakening the moral sense of
the public as to it's duty in establish
ing higher standard of civil and po-
litical citizenship. He discoursed at
some length on the tariff and the cost
Of living, and the relation of one to
the other. He believed that the ef-
fects of both were considerably AK
agerated, and that it would yet devel-
op that on the whole the tariff was
the best we ever had

PRUDENT PEOPLE
THE skEP1ICS SHOULD CHANGE
THEIR MOTTO.

In all probabilities coffee users In
Bismarck are a least bit skeptical ir
regard to the brand they use. II you
want a good cup Of coffee we suggest
that you try Hiawatha, put up in one
and two pound packages and retailed
at 20 and 40 cents per package. This
coffee, without q doubt, is superior
to other grades sold at this price. The
stock of teas that Gussner handles
are in keeping with other high grade
goods sold, in quality and price.
The carload of canned fruit that we
purchased recently in California, is
possibly the best quality that has been
on any merchants shelf in Bismarck.
We want you to try a can Of our
fruit and If It does not prove to be
what we advertise we will gladly re.
fund your money. We save our Gus.
toners twenty-five per cent on canned
fruit, as we'll as other merchandise.
You can readily see that you make
money by saving money, by buying
at Gussners.
To those who have not tried our
grain fattened meats; II you once try
them and find that juicy favor that
they possess, you will be convinced
that they have only II

same kind at Gussners.

HOW THE FARMER THRlvEs


Braddock, N. D., May 13.-Farmer
P. M. Johnson has purchased A. C..
Stalks International automobile -
thus reducing the time between his
farm and town to few minutes. The
automobile fills a long felt want on
the farm, especially in the prompt de-
livery of farm and garden products;
the farmer gathers the milk from the
cow, the eggs from the henery and
the vegetables from the garden. The
machine is provided with power
churn, driven by a sprocket chain
from the main shaft; the milk is
poured into the churn, the machine
cranked" and in six minutes and one
quarter the hungry denziens of the
simple but busy town life is being
supplied with butter that is yet quite
young, milk and eggs that are not
yet cold, and vegetables that have
not had time to stop growing.
