eral Particular Lines

Valley City. n. D., Nov. 1.-THE
Valley City normal is thoroughly in
sympathy with the modern vocational
education. 1t is the aim of the insti-
tuition to instruct their teachers in all
of the lines of vocational education
which the schools of the state demand.
In their department of elementary
agriculture they are seeking to impart
the fundamentals in scientific tilling
of the soil and animal %husbandry, in
manual training they seek to impart
a knowledge of mechanical science as
applied to woodwork. foundry work.
etc. in domestic science the work is
entirely devoted to equipping teachers.
In all Of these departments much
benefit the teaching profession al the
student doe not become a teacher,
but the same is true OF all Of the
branches taught.
Among the popular departments of
normal which are devoted to voca-
tional education. is tina! Of commercial
studies. The enrolment in this de-
partment is large and work thorough
and efficient. Penmanship and book
keeping is taught by c. c. Curtiss. one
OF the greatest, If not the greatest liv-
ing penman. Mr.. Curtiss was for
many years in Minneapolis at the head
of the big Curtiss business college and
has a national reputation as a PEN
mar and a teacher of penmanship.

At present Mr.. ,Curtiss is engaged. in
making copy for q new writing chart
which is shortly to be issued by an
eastern publishing house.
The keynote of the work in this de-
partment is t~horoughness. It is sell
dom that such a spirit of endeavor and
recepttveness is maintained as pre-
walls IN the classes of Mr.. Curtiss and
ne seemingly keeps the student Keyed
up to the highest point of endeayor
without effort. Such a spirit and such
a teacher cannot help but bring re-
suits. ~

& New York, Nov. 18.-That the posi-
tion Of the stock market, had been
weakened considerably by the extern
sive realizing of the last few days was
indicated by the movements of prices
today. 49,.
The period of declining prices which
followed. the recent advance. has not
been extended beyond that.of a normal
reaction and with no evidence of con-
sistant support for the market from
either the public. or the large banking
interests. traders became more bear

selling vas conducted on a larger
scale.
A view of the market which finds
considerable support is that stocks are
being closed out in anticipation of the
possibility of radical tariff legis-
lation is attracting much attention in
Wall street. and 1t realized also that
attempts may be made to procure leg

The advance may be said to have
been chiefly an affair Of professional
traders. who now have no one to
whom to sell the stocks which they
have marked up. :.
At the opening and again at the
close Of the. market 1t showed some
signs Of strength. Some Of the stand

at the opening, but quickly lost their
advantage.
The market became heavy, and re.
