over the Northern Pacific TO the
500 line, states that from his ob-

North Dakota was a delusion and
snare, and was not at all
in evidence in the localities
he visited. While there appear
ed to be prospects for a fair crop

were many places further west

A COMMERCIAL COURSE.
Board of Education Plans for an
Important Addition to the High
School Curriculum.

At an adjourned meeting of the
Board of Education, held last
Thursday evening, the matter
of adding full commercial
course to the regular high school
course was discussed and decid-
ed upon. This will necessitate
the engaging of two additional
teachers, increasing the teach
ing force to 16. The instruction
for this course will commence in
the eleventh grade and continue
in the twelfth. An additional
equipment, that will cost about
$1,000, will be required to inaug-
urate this new feature in the
schools, as well as the employ
ment of two additional instruct
ors, one of whom will of neces-
sity need to be thoroughly quail
fled along the lines of business
college work, and it is the inten-
ton Of the board to secure for
this work the very best talent
obtainable. The board has for
some time had this improvement
in school advantages in contem-
plation, but has not until the
present been able to see it's
way clear along financial lines.
However, the present condition
of the school treasury and the
fact that over 500 was received
during last year from non resi-
dent pupils, makes the board
feel that it can safely inaugurate
this new feature in the public
schools of the city.
There are but three or four
cities in the state where the bus
mess course has been attempted,
and the adoption of the system
will place the Milbank schools in
the fore front with the best.
The adoption of the course means
that the schools will be given a
more practical turn, SO that at
gr aduation the pupil will be able
to enter at once into business
life. Shorthand, typewricing
and book keeping will be taught,
and a review ofspelling and En-
glish grammar will be part Of
the course. AS the great ma
Jority of graduates of the high
school finish their schooling at
the high school, the Importance
OF this business course can hard
~ be over -estim ated, as it quail
hes them to at once enter upon
active work in commercial lines
without having to 90 away to
take special training.

In each alternate square round

overlapping the square. thus leaving
an equal amount Of white space be-
tween the black spots. At each tenth
spot a double width is left so as to
separate each hundred spots. ten by

spots. each horizontal or vertical row
containing 1000. One hundred such
sheets contain. of course. q million
spots, and they would occupy a space
$50 feet long in one row or ninety
feet long In five rows, so that they
would entirely cover the walls Of q
room about thirty feet square and
twenty five feet high from floor to
