her to continue the good work.
The decorations of the opera house
were fine, and very restful to the
eye, and mind. So were the souvenirs
Of Minot prepared by ex-State Supt.
Devine and City Supt. Wolfe.
The reception of Wednesday eve.

sided in his ever cheerful fashion,
was a delightful function. The Com
mercial club sent the genial Mr.. Tracy
to complete his good work, and Mayor
LeSueur lifted the meeting to high

No wonder we say Minot has grown
into worth and honor.
The members of the association ap-
preciated highly the courtesy of ev-

to the bus drivers and the guides.
The different departments offered
papers and discussions that were a
new ideas of manual training and
household economics were ably dis
played by Minot itself, by an inter-
state exhibit from Fargo, by the state
industrial school at Glendale, and by
exl4,its from Valley City, Casselton,
and a number of other towns. These
exhibits were SO fine and so instruc-
tive, especially after the lectures Of
Miss Eula Miller, Supt. Randlett OF
the A. c. and Supt. Kern that We
could only regret that SO few of the
rural and grade teachers of the west
were present. But never mind, next
year we meet in October and at Bis
marck, and every school board has
the right under the law to pay the
teacher who has enterprise enough to
go and see and learn.
A new department was added to the
Round Table, viz: the rural school
department, with Mrs. J. MJNaughton
Stevens as president, Supt. Randlett,
vice president and Miss Anne O.

large attendance in the new depart

point of mental exhausron, does not
find anything alluring in the prospect
OF tedious stunts at the gym; to add
bodily fatigue to mental WEAKNESS
has been proved fizzle as solace,
especially where there is no physical
director to conduct the exercises. The
armories all over the country are
Uttered with neglected junk In the
way of swinging clubs, wands, dumb
bells, LADDERS, cross bars, exercisers,
ETC., their dusty, unused condition
bearing mute testimony to the worth
lessness of the gymnasium per Sc. A
man playing solo at stunts soon finds
that his supposed pastime is a Weari...
ness of the spirit as well as OF the
flesh. Why all this preamble, do you
ask? Eastern municipalities build
hand ball courts at the sea shore,
where the town bum becomes an atm
lete. and the constitutional loafer

The Y. M. G. A: has everywhere, IN
stalled this king Of games. Every ath-
letic association from the Atlantic TO
the Pacific provides for it. The Bos-
ron Athletic club has expended hund-
reds of thousands of dollars for hand
ball and swat ball courts in its mag
nificent building. The courts are laid
with ground glass floors and no dls-
play of magnifcence has been con-
sidered too extravagant to honor tnls
splendid sport. In hand ball court
there is spirit Of contest and COM
araderie: here the old man renews his
youth and the middle aged man also
throws off the calcareous accretlons
that insinuate premature decrepltude
into vigorous manhood. You never
heard of hand ball player who had
a peevish stomach, nor liver COM
plant that could long withstand the
energizing influence of the game. In
hand ball court dignified business
men are for the nonce lot OF scnool
boys, keen for the fray. This Is what
constitutes the difference between
gymnasium pure and simple and the
hand ball court. Even the effort OF
the beginner to learn this simple,
health giving game, is good fun that
a business man may indulge in with
out loss of dignity, and with the as
.,surance that his appendicitis will
disappear; that he will be hungry for
supper after the cold shower that al.
ways follows the game, and that his
sleep when he goes to bed, will be
sound, delightful and refreshing.

Editor Independent: II.
Dear Sir-Although immersed to
the eyebrows in the work of develop
ing an institution that must perforce
materially advantage Minot, i will
gladly devote little time to illus
trate one view point concerning the
theme now upper-most in all our
minds, namely what is the best thing
to do for the Magic City,"
For any heavy task we chose men
who are masterful in their personality.
Minot has the men; men who, if at
the top of their condition, would ap-
proach the task with the assurance Of
conquerors and swing Minot into the
proudest position in the state in lit
tie or no time. An emasculated. wishy
washy purpose never accomplishes
much. The greatest asset to any com
munity is the health of it's young and
middle aged business men. In order
for the bone and sinew of Minot to be
of the highest service to the town,
and to itself, it is necessary for ev-
cry man to keep himself in condition
to do the biggest thing possible to-
him. Quoting from the current num-
Der of Success Magazine: "There are
plenty of men, who, if they were en-
lightened in regard to the laws of
health, could double and treble their
ability, their originality their effective
ness, their brain power, and their re-
sourcefulness. What splendid capital
there is in good health, IN a strong,
vigorous constitution. Everywhere we
see devitalized people, without spon-
taneity, buoyancy or enthusiasm In
their endeavor."
Our grassy slopes" and "verdant
hills of summer, are prison walls in
the winter season; walls within which
we pace our weary rounds, eat our
rations, put on surplus. adipose and
inertia. In this respect we are a lot
of dead ones" A man with a flabby
physique, lethargic brain and stale
body is not in shape to perform
tenth of what he is capable under
right conditions. The remedy is easy,
sure and delightful. What is it? 1

The 23rd annual session of the
North Dakota Education association
has come and gone. Minot, the Magic
City, held out her hands in rapt vel
come to the school men and women
of the state, and their guests from
elsewhere.
. And now we, who were so beauti-
fully entertained, make our bow to
Minot, and wish her Godspeed.
The resolutions passed so cordially
in the closing sessions, voice the
good will of the association and give
utterance to our earnest desire to see
a Normal established in Minot; and
let it be soon.
We desire to say emphatically that
morally, spiritually and materially
Minot is worthy; We look at the
great mass of schools west OF the
Mouse river and west Of the Missou-
ri river and We desire to see them
marshalled into line by teachers
who have grown up to Dakota ideas,
and while we must still call for the
best of the young idea from other
states, it is fitting that Minot should
be able to give them courses in OBJ
ject lessons as to our Dakota PROB
lens and our spirited, breezy methods
of meeting and overcoming the same.
So when the legislature meets again
Minot may count on the solid unan-
imous backing of the N. D. E. A.
The work offered by the sessions
held in the opera house touched high
water mark. DR.. Seerley Of state edu-
cational work in Iowa stirred us all
just as much by the measure OF North
Dakota advances over Iowa conditions
as by his vigor and eloquence. He
himself was very interesting as
wholly western development. The
west makes men, just as the East
did in pioneer days.
But DR.. Forbush shows that the
East has not forgotten that the flow
er of manhood grows from tn. Heart
of Boy. Not soon will any one who
heard him forget that to touch the
heart of a boy, one must earn the
right to turn the key. Then the
young man will be SAFE"
The music offered by the schools
of Minot under Miss PETIT was OF a
very fine quality, and it had inspired
the pupils, big and little.
The musical department of the as
ISOLATION held no formal session, as
not one of the officers elected was
present, but Miss PETIT deserves that
her constituency should hear that we
did not miss them, and the associa
