COMPLETE TASK OF
CORRECTING THE
EXAM PAPERS
Over 1000 Certificates Grant.
ed to Candidates Who
Wrote Last Quiz

The complete returns from the last
state high school final examination.
which was given last June have Just
been sent out from the Office Of the
examiner ct the university and the
si1s OF the task involved is sugges-
tive Of the growth and development
OF this line Of educational effort in
North Dakota. Seven thousand two
hundred twenty-tour certificates In
all were sent out It took q force Of
thirty readers working from June 28
to August 10 to grade all Of the pa
pers sent in and three clerks work.
ed continuously all through the
month Of August doing the routine
work Of entering up the results and
issuing the certificates. A considera-
ton Of these facts may explain to
those to whom the wheels seem to
move too slowly why # 10 that the
certificate cannot be issued sooner.
Not all Of the CLASSIFIED high schools
OF the state send In papers to the ex-
aminer In all subjects The first
class students are required to do go
in only one subject at each examine
ton, though they may write on all IL
they choose. The first class school
that sent in the most papers on this
examination was jamestown with
SOL. In the, second class list, Hunter
was first with 166 and in the third
class list Milton stood at the top with
155. Ten thousand three hundred
niety-nine papers In all were SUBJ
mitted; eve thousand two hundred
t~wenty-four YER passed and three
thousand one hundred seventy-fve
we're rejected, making the percentage
Of successful candidates 69.4.
The changing nature Of the modern
high school Of today as compared
with the school of the older type is
apparent in the subject matter of the
papers submitted. First year English
leads as the most popular subject
with elementary algebra second and
third year English the third on the
list is second year English. Latin
grammar still holds its own fairly
we'll with 654 papers out Of the total
number but all of the papers In
Caesar, Cicero and Vergil together a
total Of 286 are Just equal to the
number submitted in the subjects Of
domestic science, agronomy and ami
NAL husbandry. Mechanical draw
ing, pedagogy and the senior reviews
Of the common branches all show
that they are increasing in strength
and popularity.
State High School Inspector Rich
ard Hayward, who went through all
Of the papers submitted and examined
them for Irregularities and as to gen.
eral completeness has expressed him
self as very we'll pleased with his
findings. In these particulars and
along the lines Of general neatness
and good appearance, the papers
were Of a higher quality than any
submitted at any previous examina-
ton and very few of the schools ask
ed for any concessions on the time
limit. The general results Of the
whole examination show a most salts
factory growth in the high schools of

a committee to arrange for the pre-
servation OF the perishable products
to be included in the exhibit and for
the arrangement and display of the
exhibit itself.
While the question of ways and
means was left for the permanent or
ganization, the meeting last night dis
cussed come features Of the flnanc-
ing plan in an informal manner. It
was found that to carry out the plans
for a perfect exhibition Of the pro-
ducts of tho valley would require an
expenditure Of two cents per capita,
an insignificant sum when the value
to he derived from the scheme is con.
sidered.
In addition to the stupendous ex-
hibit which will be arranged of the
products Of the six counties, a large
amount of printed matter will be pre-
pared setting forth in graphic yet
truthful terms the marvellous re-
sources and the magnificent oppor-
tunities which the Red river valley
offers. This literature will be pre-
pared in the best style and will be
richly embellished so that the man
receiving a copy will place it in his
pocket for future perusal instead Of
casting 1t into the vast basket.
Notwithstanding the splendid pub
licity that has been given the Red riv-
er valley in the past, the present
scheme will surpass anything Of the
kind. Never before has it been pos
sible to assemble a comprehensive ex-
hibit that was truly representative
of the Red river valley in North Da-
kota as this one will. Never has
there been an opportunity to present
the avantages of this section Of the

THE distribution OF so, 900, 900 Red Cross
stamps, to be sold all over the United
States during the holiday season this year
for the purpose of raising funds to fight
the White Plague, will be made from
Washington, instead of, as heretofore,
from New York City. The sale of these
stamps will start Immediately after
Thanksgiving. This years stamp has
been designed by Washington artist. 1t
has the appearance of being circular in
shape, heavy red ring inclosing the en-
tire design. In order to make the stamp
as unlike the government postage stamps
as possible, winter scene at night was
selected as the subject for the picture.
Particular stress is being laid this year
upon the fact that these stamps cannot be
placed upon the face of letter or pack
age. No stamp but the government
postage stamp may be placed on the side
with the address.

Republican Nominee for Associate Judge.
Joseph NJ. Morgan was born in Barnett
township, Forest county, just 60 years
ago on the 18th of June last, and, with the
exception OF couple of years spent with
a relative in Iowa when a young man,
Forest county has been his home ever
since. For many years he followed boat
building at Cooksburg, removing to Tio-
nesta in 1887 to engage in similar employ
ment, and which he followed until the
passing of such work in this vicinity.
From boyhood he has been hard work.
or, earning living for himself and fam
liz by the sweat of his brow. In DISPOSE
ton Mr.. Morgan is one of the most kindly
of men, always the same wherever you
meet him. In all his dealings with his
fellow men he has maintained record
for strictest honesty and uprightness, and
we dare say that no man has ever found a
flaw in his record. He will make a
righteous Judge, for, while never harsh
or biased in his judgment, he is ever firm
in his convictions of right. A Republi-
can from youth he has loyalty supported
the principles of that party and has helped
many a good man into office, but until
now has never asked an Office in return.
Fairly nominated by his party for the
office of Associate Judge he asks, and will
undoubtedly receive, the same loyal sup
port in return at the election next month.

SPLENDID ARRAY OF CANDIDATES
A Few Words Concerning the Excellent
Ticket Which the Republicans
Have Nominated.

The primary election being over for
more than two weeks and the candidates
Of the several parties being fairly placed
in nomination, the voters have had time
to look the list over and form their con-
clusions. We believe 1t will be conceded
on all hands that the Republican party
never placed before the people cleaner
set of candidates or a ticket more worthy
of the support of the solid and united
party. This is not in the least in dispar-
sgement of those candidates who failed
of nom instion, for the same could have
been said had results been much differ
ent. 1t so happened that all the men who
announced their names we're clean and
capable and a weak ticket could hardly
be thought of. But 1t is the ticket as
nominated that must be now considered,
and those who participated In the Repub-
lican primary, who have sense OF fair
ness, will line up solidly for the whole
ticket. A primary election is everybody's
fight. Each indy idual composing po-
liticsl party has the absolute right to ex-
erclse his own judgment in the matter of
choosing what he regards as the best ma
terisl. Indeed, it is his duty as good
citizen to do it, unswed and unbribed.
But when the election is over the success
ful csnd idstes, even if chosen by the
narrow majority of single vote, are en-
titled to the support Of united party.
With these preliminary remarks we
desire to present the portraits of the can
didates for the leading offices to be filled,
with lew commendatory remarks, every
word of which we are willing to stand
over and of which we challenge contra
diction:
Judge w. d. Hinckley has served the
district 50 ably and so satisfactorily for
more than a year as President of our
courts that the opposition has not consid-
cred it worth while to place candidate
in the field against him. He is one OF
the plessantest of men and makes friends
wherever he goes. His ability as jurist
is well known and recognized through
out the whole northwestern portion OF
the state, and in his short service on the
bench he has been frequently called to
other judicial districts to assist his fellow
judges in the disposal of their business
when overcrowded with judicial affairs.
He will be elected and the district will
continue to have one of the best Judges
| in the state.

A NEW law in Pennsylvania provides
for sealer of weights and measures in
each city and borough, to be appointed by
the mayor or burgess. In good many
municipalities the chief executive has ac-
cordingly appointed such an official,
whose duty it is to test all weights and
measures of stores, coal yards, vendors at
markets, etc., for the protection of the
public. 1t is the purpose OF the state of
ficisls to urge all cities or boroughs to act
in the matter, although 1t is optional with
the mayors and burgesses as to whether
they wish to comply with the law. In
the larger cities, where inspectors of
weights and measures haYe been part of
the municipal government long before
the recent act was passed, the number Of
short-weight scales and false bottom and
undersized measures discovered and con-
tiscsted was so large as to dumfound the
officials

Joseph C. Scowden has for almost thirty
years been one of Tionesta's solidest,
most progressive and trustworthy citi-
zens. For year or more after coming to
Tionesta he was employed at the black
smithing end OF the Raisig carriage and
wagon factory, and then became a half,
and finally sole owner of the business.
His success has all been pounded out by
hard knocks on the anvil. Few idle days
for Joe Scowden since his residence in
Tionesta. he early won, and ever after
wards retained, the high respect Of our
people by his unflinching integrity and
square dealing. A man Of mature years
and sound judgment he has many times
been called upon to take a borough Office
10 which no emoluments we're attached,
but often much annoyance and little
thanks, yet he unfiinchingly did his part
we'll and showed such rare good sense In
all matters that he was never allowed to
retire. But this is his first otfense In ask
ing for an office in which there may be
some small returns. That he will make
an official Of which his people will be
proud there isn't question Of doubt.
With Scowden and Harrison in the Com
missioners' office Forest county's inter-
ests will be looked after with scrupulous
care and intelligence.

Charles Clark was born in Schuylkill
county, SO years ago, and is son OF the
late lsmented Capt. Clark, whom our
people revered and honored for his ster-
ling qualities of heart and mind, and 1t
can be truthfully said that Charles is a
"chip off the old block" When a mere
boy his parents moved to this county,
located on farm on Hunter run, where
he was reared to young manhood and
where he put in many hard days work
upon the farm. He learned the black
most constantly for more than 25 years,
and is now engaged in the sale of farm
machinery. A man of strictest moral
habits, highest integrity, and absolute
honesty and truthfulness, Charlie Clark
is respected by every one who knows
him. Friend and foe alike will give him
praise for his moral rectitude and clean
ness Of character, and that he would make
most efficient officer In the capacity OF
Sheriff goes without saying. He has the
courage of his convictions and would not
sacrifice his principles of right for any
consideration. He is worthy of the loyal
support of the party that placed him
in nomination, and the Republicans
througout the county owe it to themselves
as we'll as to Mr.. Clark to make his ma.
jority at the coming election a most de-
cisive one, as he has always been one of
the best of them.
