Week Has Been Successful.
The meetings last Sunday were inn
portant in that they served to intro
duce the speaker and insure for him
a good hearing at all the future meet
tngs. The meetings were we'll attend
ed and a splendid impression of the
speaker was secured by all that heard
him. Monday evening an impromptu
talk at the Commercial club served to
introduce the speaker to the men Of
the city who assisted in securing the
convention for Grand Forks but who
had not kept in close contact with the
movement up to date. The impression
made at the Commercial club insured
a larger and more representative hear
ing at the Y. NJ. G. A. gymnasium the
following evening where the best pre-
Forward Movement" was made that
has eve been heard in the city. The
speaker took up each topic covered by
this many sided movement and gave
each such a mastery discussion that
the mel present will not lack for a
full appreciation of the vast program
they have undertaken. The men pres
ent at this meeting were given an OPP
p%ortunity to pledge themselves for flu
the work and it would appear from all
indications that by next March there
will be M Of the best prepared cities
