Mr.. Burdick was urged to accept the
nomination in Benson county some
years ago, but absolutely refused to
do so, although the nomination was
given him. +. III. Hankins and Miss
Lena Westrum are now serving as
deputy superintendent while Miss
Morrish is assisting in the office of
Ward county and Earl Parsons is as
sistant in the office of the state super
intendent at Bismarck Mr.. Burdick
has served as deputy superintendent
in Benson county and Miss Theresa
Nelson has held the same position in
| Trail county, We are not sure that
we have named all who have served in

good list.
| We received a card announcing the
marriage of Miss Anna Glerum of
Devils Lake to Albert Starr of Tower
| City, N. d. Miss Glerum was a mem
Der of the class of 1907 and has been
a successful teacher in Tower City
ever since graduating. Our congratu-

good wishes to the bride.
We are proud of Hon. U. l.. Bur-
| dick who graduated with us in 1900
and is to be governor OF the state in
two years from now. And we will fur
| nish the speaker of the lower house
for the session two years from now
also. If you think not, just watch
Hon. r. A. Nestoss, representative
from Minot. He is another who has
made good" and will be an important
figure in the political life of this state
Moreover, both Of these young men are
such leaders as are an honor to the
state for they will do what they be-
lieve to be the right thing regardless
of fear or favor.
We are told that the amendment to
the constitution providing for a normal
school at Minot carried. We are glad
Of this fact since that section of the
state needs such a school. BY the way,
what have those papers to say now
which stated before election that the
MayvilIe normal friends were oppos-
ing the amendment? Mayville and
Trail county voted in favor of the
amendment.
Miss Brant entertained her father,
brother and sister Thanksgiving. Her
father will remain in MayvilIe for
some time.
The school did not have the usual
Thanksgiving vacation, but dismissed
for Thanksgiving only.
We see by the papers that the
Southeastern Educational association
held meeting in Fargo on last Fri
day and Saturday. This is all we do
know about this meeting for no off,
cial word of the meeting reached May
vile.
The school extends sympathy to Mr..
and Miss Vellum, students from Pet
ersburg, in their bereavement.
The Query Club" has just been or
ganized in Mayville to meet on the
first and third Tuesdays of every
month beginning with the third Tues
day in October and closing with the

The membership consists of Mayville
men only and several members of the
normal faculty have become members.
They look forward with interest to
the work of this club and expect to
derive considerable pleasure and profit
fro the meetings.
