Educational Work Of the Fargo
Young Mems Christian Association


men in a broader educational work
and the association course of study has
been built up with this idea in view,
assuring the men that 1t is to their in
terest to take up two or three years
work rather than one.
In educational work for boys, last
summer a school was conducted for
boys of the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and
Eighth grades who had failed in their
spring examination for different rea-
sons and who seemed as ii they might
be able to make UP their back work
and thus enter into their regular class
in the fall. Twenty -four boys attended
this school and the results were very
gratifying. During the winter class
has been carried on Tor messenger boys
who through force of circumstances
have been unable to attend day school.
Eight have been enrolled in this class
ranging from Ia to 16 years years Of
age An attempt has been made to
interest them in, other phases of the
association work which has proven
quite successful. In conclusion 1t might
be said that 1t is the aim of the assoc
citation TO meet the educational needs
of the community not otherwise sup

BOOSTER is NEEDED.

Fargo needs an official booster. For
many years when the late j. A. johnson
was mayor Of the city, he was chief
booster for the city. That he made
good no one will deny. In those days
FG1go had a corner on state conven-
lions and some national events were Sc
cured.
Nothing that would get Fargo some
beneficial advertising was overlooked
by the mayor. He was a great factor
in building UP the city in this way and
his work is even more appreciated now
than at the time.
OF course there is not the necessity
now for getting as many conventions
as formerly. In the nature of things
1t is more difficult. other cities in
the state are growing rapidly and in
creasing their hotel facilities till. they
are able to care for conventions that
formerly could be accommodated only
In Fargo or Grand Forks.
But Tor the last few years Fargo has
scarcely gotten even its share of the
big state meetings. This is either the
fault OF the mayor or OF the secretary
of the commercial club. A real live
one in either position could accomplish
things for the city. If there were ac-
tive boosters in both jobs-Fargo would
certainly get its share.
Why not make an effort this year
to elect mayor who will boost in this
direction. IA
Would 1t not be a great advantage
also TO have a commercial club secre-
tary who was a live wire? Fargo has
had numerous secretaries. They have
nearly all been good fellows in some
special lines, but so far the club has
never been able to secure a man who,
could go out and get things for the
city That is no reason, however, why
this cannot be done. There are such
men.

ISOLATION are before the public so
much that many other phases of the
work are not apt to be thoroughly UNI
derstood by the people" said Dr.. Cook
of the educational department. Few
realize the greatness of educational
work in the Y. M. G. A. throughout
the country. This work has been GO
ing forward with marvellous strides
Limited by no certain lines of work it
has been able to give practical
courses wherever occasion demanded.

the eighth grade, one in $50 the high
school, one in a thousand the uni
versity course; with Germany fitting

schools of a hundred different kinds
while America has less than is per

fourths of the superintendent, man

American manufactures and institutes
trained in Europe, the chances for
special vocational work unlimited.

GOING ELSEWHERE.

Some years ago it was rumored that
Schwarzchild g. Sulburger, the big
Chicago packers, wanted TO locate a
branch In the northwest and might
consider Fargo for a location. The
Forum brought the matter to the at
tentton Of the people Of the city--but
no organized effort was made to Sc
cure the new enterprise.
Recent dispatches state that this
company has completed arrangements
for the establishment OF SS.O00,OOO
plant at Oklahoma City. 1t has OPP
tons on 500 acres of land in the edge
of the city and will make q new dis
tributinE point for the southwest.

advantages that Fargo cannots excel.

North Dakota Political Gossip

Edinburg Tribune: In order to
create some little diversion for school
children and also with a view to
identifying school grounds, Congress
man Hanna proposes to supply every
school district In the state with flower
seeds furnished by the department of
agriculture. This innovation is highly
commendable, and is meeting with the
most fiattering praise in all sections
OF the state
Discussing this new idea MIR. Han
ma says:
Il believe children should be made
to take an interest i'm flowers and to
cultivate them. Once interested al
ways interested and | shall not feel
satisfied until see every schoolehouse
in the state with a garden believe
that the children themselves should
be made to plant and care for the
flowers and / have the assurance OF
the department of agriculture that if
the directions are followed that sue
cess will award the efforts of the
students in planting the seeds.
Westhope Standard: The state
press have nothing but good words
for Congressman l.. B. Hanna. The
gentleman will have no trouble in
getting the nomination at the next
primaries.

Burke to fill the place for the re-
mainder of the term, people are won

Of affairs
1t is almost week ago that the
report was first circulated to the Ell
feet that Senator Thompson had re-
signed. When called upon to verify
the reports both the senator and
Governor Burke positively denied any
knowledge Of the matter, while, as
a matter of fact, the resignation of
Senator Thompson was handed to the
governor while the latter was in
Washington attending the recent meet
ing of governors.
Why these denials2
Why this rericence2
There is a rlmor current that the
senator's resignation came not alto
gether voluntarily, and that his iii
health had little, If anything, to do
with 1T; that the governor forced him
to resign In order to enable the
governor to spread little liniment on
some of the scratches he caused by
the senator's appointment. Be that
as il may, 1t doesn't ma ter now. But

by no means the smallest part of
the educational work of the assoeia-
ton has been aiding in the assimilation
of the continual stream of foreigners
flowing into this country. To bring
these into full knowledge of the laws
of the land to make them intelligent
and respectable citizens it is necessary
that they should be able to read and
write the language of the country they
have just entered. True this may be
gained by their relations with the peo-
pie in the country but 1t is a slow pro-
cess, and during that time they are at
the mercies of other persons who take
advantage of them through their
ignorance of the language. Most immi-
grants are persons Of very limited
means, having spent most of their
earnings to bring them over into this
country thus forcing them to work
and making 1t impossibles for them to
take up day school work The associa-
tions all over the country have come
to their aid by establishing work in
their evening schools for the purpose
of teaching them English.
Association work among immigrants
helps them to adjust their life to Amer
lean civilization. 1t does this by teach
ing them the nature Of their govern
ment, the character of the founders
and perservers of the Republic and by
bringing into the friendly relationship
with young men of wholesome life and
spiritual character. In addition it In
creases their wage earning power,
makes them more intelligent and de-
sirable citizens. During the year 1908;
total of AGO men were in the differ
ent classes of the associations of the
country; 2220 paid teachers with total
educational expenditure of $4,000.
The local association has been carry
ing on an extensive educational work
only about two years and yet in that
time strong department has, been
built up. During the year 1908-09
forty eight men were enrolled in six
different classes For this year eleven
classes have been conducted with a to-
tai enrolment of eighty seven. Two
other classes are in process or forma
ton which will put the enrolment for
this year up to nearly 100. The atten-
dance has averaged about 65 per cent
being very good attendance for even
ing school work. The classes are two
classes of English for foreigners, fore-
igner's English course. no classes for
employed boys mechanical drawing
two classes on architectural drawing
penmanship, electricity and first aid to
the injured.

the work have, through the influence
OF the association taken UP work In

been made to interest the Y. M. G. A.

THE GOOD DOCTORS MEMORY.

Old students at Princeton have re-
vived an anecdots about DR.. McCosh,
long president of the college. He was
very absent minded and in making
the announcement at o'clock chapel
in the morning had to have some re-
minder on a memo card-or he was
almost sure to forget, One day the
French professor asked him, just as he
was mounting the platform in the
chapel, to announce to the juniors that
their class would meet at o'clock this
morning instead Of 10. The president
nodded, but completely forgot about it,
not finding any reminder among his
written announcements. A long prayer
always brought the chapel to a close
in those days, and DR.. McCosh was al
most through the prayer when he sud-
denly remembered the request. Unde-
TERED, however, he slippd in an addi-
tional phrase just before the Amen"
and the chapel faithfuls were edited to
hear among other petitions:
And, o God, cause the juniors to
remember that their French class will
be at 8 o'clock this morning instead
OF 10 o'clock"
The juniors remembered.
