Plea Of Mrs. Blaine in
Address to Teachers.
DecfleS Bread and Butter" Al.
iltude Of The Educators.
Meeting OF Natl Educational Assn
At San Francisco.

Sar Francisco. July 13.-Mrs En-
mons Blaine of Chicago, in an address
before the National Educational AS
ISOLATION last night, called upon the
teachers to turn to higher ideals. to
combat the influence of growing ma
terialistic age and to teach a higher
citizenship.
Mrs. Blaine struck boldly at present
educational methods, including the
bread and butter" attitude with
which, she declared, too many teach
ers view their professions, and urged
the community to give to the great
army of teachers compensation COM
mensnrate with the value of their SER
vices in training the future citizenship
of the country.
Not only did Mrs. Blaine plead for
the inception of higher ideals in ed
ucation. but to their decline she attrb-
uteG much of the growing abuse of
political power and the falling off from
the accepted ideals of political liberty
and equality.
There are two sides to the money
question in teaching" said Mrs.
Blaine. you cannot serve God and
Mammon. If the uplifting of the child
is the aim of the teacher. the money
cannot be. Therefore, the money must
not be-cannot be-the aim Of the
teaching"
| Speaking of the accumulation of
| wealth in this country, the speaker
said:
I'VE are appalled, by the utter
| thoughtlessness and carelessness for
| others by so many of our money max
ers in their mad rush for wealth. This
| means a deep lack of any true sense
OF the meaning of citizenship. 1t bodies

also the case with the Republican

they were also opposed to the amend

RAISED IMMENSE
CROP IN PEMBINA
ALLEN ANDREWS MADE WON.
DERFuL SUCCESS OF DIVERsI-
FLED CROP ON THIRTY-sIx
ACRE FARM IN PEMeINA coUN-
TY-PRovEs WONDERS or SOIL.

One of the most pronounced sue
cesses of diversified farming in North
Dakota, which has just begun to be
considered possible in this part OF the
country. is the result of the work OF
Allen Andrews on his thirty-six acre
farm in Pembina county. Mr.. Andrews
is the son of C. w. Andrews, president
of the First National bank of Walhalla.
He Is only % years OF age and this
year set out to demonstrate just what
could be accomplished in North Dakota
aside from the raising OF wheat.
On his farm this young farmer rails
ed 900 bushels of oats which he sold
at 45 cents thereby bringing him $3.50;
$1,000 bushels of potatoes, which ne
sold at the same price, bringing him
1915: seventy one bushels Of beans
which he hold at So, bringing him 1913;
and seventy bushels of barley which
he sold at 80 cents, bringing him $672
This made a total Of $3.50 from
thirty-six acres. or $53.3S cents an
acre.
Aside from this Mr.. Andrews raised
nineteen bushels to the acre Of Cana
dian field peas which brought $3.50
This Is good demonstration Of what
can be done In North Dakota. Many
OF the farmers i'm the Red river valley
are now turning their attention 70
other products than wheat and similar
grains, though for some time they
have been rather reluctant to do SO,
feeling that wheat was the only thing
that could be successfully raised In
this state.
Such demonstrations as the results
obtained By Mr.. Andrews and others
are rapidly showing the Red river
farmers that North Dakota soil Is Mt
ted for other products just as well as
for wheat, IL not better.
Word of Mr.. Andrews success was
brought this morning to the First Ma
tional bank in this city where his worS
was highly commented upon.
