SCIENTISTS LOSE
AND WIN
Three Hot Games Played Last
Week.

The Science School Ba sket
Bali team went down to defeat
at the hands of the Glendale
Normal Industrial School team
last Thursday, while the sec
ond team was taken. into camp
by the High School boys. Sat.
urday night, however, the Sci
ence school took revenge by
defeating the Co. ! boys to the
tune of 10 to 80.
The games of last Thursday
were played at the Armory
Hall. n very good crowd mum
bering about 300 persons, saw
the game and all were satisfied
with the excitement afforded
by the two contests. The High
School boys showed up in fine
form and surprised everyone
by maintaining a lead of one or
two points over their rivals
throuhout and finally defeating
the second S. S. S. team by the
ecore of "a to 22
In the game between the first
Science School team aud the
Normal Industrial boys, the
outcome was impossible to pre-
dict at any stage of the game.
During the last half the Ellen
dale boys we're but one point
ahead OF the Locals, and Sci.
ence School Basket would have
meant victory for the S. S. S.
But at these critical periods,
Hackett and Voves' seemed to
be unable to get the ball thru
the ring. and 80 the Normal
boys maintained the lead thru
out and finally the game ended
with the Scientists on the
small end of - to u score.
The game was rough on both
sides and fowls were repeated
ly called, especially on Robbins
of the Science School. Voves
of the Science and McDougai
of the Normal were forced to
take time out on account of i'm
juries. The greatest weakness
of both sides seemed to be in
throwing baskets as is usually
the case. Both sides had re.
peated chances to make bask.
cts but failed when even in the
immediate neighborhood. El.
lendale was quite lucky in scor-
ing baskets and made several
every lucky" ones from the
center of the floor. Hamerlik
was put in the Science School
lineup during the last half and
he played an excellent game,
the only regret being that he
did not come in sooner.
At the Armory-S CT ence
School game Saturday, a acrowd
of about $50 to 200 attended.
This game was just as fast as
the Normal School game. The
score does not. indicate how
very close and. exciting the
game really was. The. Co. ]
boys and TIE Scientists are to
be complimented on the fast
teams they have worked up.

HIGHLAND COUNTY'S
RURAL SCHOOLS
Seventh and Eighth Grade Pupils
Significant F acts-Supt. a
Barnes Puts Blame on
Parents

The results of the December
1910, final examination for sew
enth and eighth grade pupils
show some interesting and sig
niticant facts concerning school
conditions in the rural and
semi graded schools of Rich
land County. The review of
the papers written at this ex-
animation has just been COM
pleted under the direction of
County Superintendent Barnes.
From $50 schools now in op-
Grafton in the county. there
were 1877 examines, candidates
for Comm on School Diplomas.
OF these l87 examines, there
were Is who completed all the
subject. aud will receive their
diplomas. Forty-eight, or 80 per
cent of the schools now in ses-
sion had pupils to participate.
Names and addresses of these
receiving diplomas are:

The results point to the fact
that many farmer boys and
girls leave school before they
have completed the eighth
grade. Few of these cases are
excusable. Surely every child
has a right to this much of a
preparation for living. True it
is that many children choose
to remain at home rather than =;
spend the time in school, but
the day will come when they
will have cause to regret their
course and they will place the
blame somewhere. Parents,
where is that blame going to
be placed? Are you doing your
duty by your children when
you fail to see that they take
advantage of the opportunity
which the state places within
the reach of every one:

NEW B1LLIo BEINTR0DUCED

NEW BILL TO BEINTRODUCED
During the present session
of the Legislature a bill will be
introduced by the State Medi-
cal Society ostensibly to regu-
late the practice of medicine in
the state. The bill provides for
the appointment OF a board of
nine members, all regular
medical doctors, who shall have
power to license or reject ap-
plicants to practice medicine
in this state. The bill prescribes
qualifications for applicants,
defines the practice of medicine
provides for reciprocity with
other states, makes provisions
for it's enforcement, aud pre-
scrjbes ample penalties for any
or all violations. 1t is bill,
which looks all right on the
face of it, but in reality it is
unjust, UnAmerican aud dam
gerous. 1t makes all schools
of healing subserviant to one.
1t SO curtails the scope of the
Osteopath, as to make it not
worth his while to practice i'm
this state. 1t gives this pro-
posed board of examiners su.
preme power over any and aN
physicians, and over all mat
ters pertaining to health in
North Dakota. Section Two
gives them the power to in
crease their power at any time
they see fit. The placing of SO
much authority in the hands
of one faction is dangerous.
The depriving the individual of
c h 90 ng whomsoever he
pleases as his physician is un-
American, and the wholesale
snatching of rights and privi-
leges from one school of heal.
ing by another is unjust. The
NJ. ID. says the Osteopath is ig-
norant, but ignorance is not
m ,nopolized by any one sys-
tenn. This very bill under dis
cussion only requires eighteen
actual school attend
ance of Doctors lf Medicine,
who graduated prior to 1905.
Now the minimum time that
Osteopaths are required to at
tend school is twenty months.
The Osteopaths have been
practicing under their own
laws in this state for fourteen
years, and there has never been
a cause for complaint. The
Osteopathic Physician asks for
fair play, and the right to be
independent. Mediciue and o.
teopathy have little in common
and members of one school
should not sit in Judgement
over those of the other.

Advertising in South
America is Different
Pan-American Union Will Discuss
Best Methods for Firms Of
United States.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l3-(Special)-lt
has been announced by the Pan-Americau
union that one Of the subjects TO be dis
cussed at the Pan-Americsn Commercial
conference, which viii be held in Wash
ington. beginning on Monday. will be that
Of how to secure the best results in sd-
vertising American goods in Central and
South America.
From all indications the subject OF ud-
vertising will be as interesting to the dele
gates attending tho conference as that OF
securing improved transportation facilities
or establishing American banks in Latin
America
The charge has been made in consular
reports and through other sources that
American manufacturers lose more money
in fruitless advertising in Latin America
than those Of any other countries.
Communications received at the Pan
American union indicate that large num-
Der Of representatives Of commercial firms
who will attend the conference are anxious
that the subject should be fully investi-
gated.
It is believed that the conference Will
serve to bring out a number Of suggestions
for advertising American goods in Central
anu oouth Ahi0AlCh anu lndL many OF THESE
doubtless win be made use Of by exporting
firms.
II has been suggested that the same kind
OF advertising which appeals TO the AmerI-
can public makes but little impression upon
the Latin American mind and that as soon
as the American manufacturer has con
sidered this difference and catered to 1t he
will reap a far-reaching commercial benefit
Acceptances by firms, organizations and
individuals Of the invitation to attend the
conference have reached Sill Included in
the acceptances are AL firms, twenty-four
boards Of trade thirty chambers OF COM
merce, thirty-eight trade bodies and ten
commercial clubs. Indications now are that
the total registration will reach 1000.
