UNIFORM TEXT ook

One of the important measures intro
duced in the house during this session
is House Bill lob. 1t provides for
"uniform text books for the common
schools" The author of the bill is
Representative Moritz, of Cavalier
county.
Tho bill is arousing much interest in
view of its absolute departure from the
present method of selecting and supply
ing text books for our schools. and
which is generally acknowledged by all
concerned to be far from being a perfect
system applied to present needs.
The bill provides for a commission OF
eight, as follows: The governor, state
superintendent of public instruction,
dean of Valley City normal, the super
intendent of the Fargo, Grand Forks
and Minot schools, and two county
superintendent, to be named by the
governor, the two to belong to separate
political parties.
The commission is empowered to pro-
vide the schools of the state with a
uniform set of text books. This will dc
away with the continual changes that
are constantly taking place in schools
whom a new teacher takes charge This
obsolete, if it may be called a system
has been found to be of no practical
value, so far as the entire state is con.
cerned. 1t is an endless source OF
annoyance and expense to the patrons of
the schools and there are many who
can't afford to comply with all the
whims of teachers who insists on in
PRODUCING new text books when they
find their individual tastes are not
suited.
If this bill Is passed the same text
books will be used in all schools and no
change will be made, or can be made in
less time than five years, except geogra-
ply and history, which may be sub
stituted every four years,
The bill is one of merit and has the
support of leading educators of the state.
1t is now in committee.

February, the month with the fewest
number of days and the largest number
of dates of Importance On the calendar
has nee again rolled around. The first
pause occur today, February End, with
the annexation of it being Candlemas
Day on the church calendar; the distinc.
ton is also given it Of being "ground hog
day" the supposition being that 1t is up
to this little animal to foretell whether
a late or early spring awaits us. Amerl-
al history finds two places in February
the 18th and 22nd, the dates of the
birth of two Of Americas best known
and most loved presidents. Abraham
Lincoln, who was the country's Chief
executive during the grave crisis follow
ing the abolition of slavery, and
George Washington, "the father Of his
country" who gave Young America the
Fourth of July as a national holiday.
Another day witha pretty sentiment,
though perhaps not as demonstrative as
in ye olden days of long ago, occurs on
the 14th-St Valentines Day. Perhaps
next year with its twenty nine days and
the speculation Of being leap year may
give st. Valentines Day q renewed in
forest among the youne folks.

STATE HAIL INSURANCE

Senator G. w. Plain, of Cavalier coun-
ty, has a new idea on the question of
establishing a state hail insurance de-
partment, and his ideas on the subject
are contained in Senate bill No. 46. in.
troduced by him.
The placing of the hail insurance de-
partment on II cash basis is the particu-
larly striking feature of the Plain bill,
and it is in that particular that it differs
from other bills on the same subject.
Practically all other measures proposing
the creation of a state hail department
have provided that such departments be
operated on a tax levy basis, but Senator
Plain believes that method to be faulty
and impracticable
Under the provisions of the bill that
he has introduced, MIR. Plain would
make the commissioner of agriculture
and labor the commissioner of hail in
surance as we'll. He is given authority
to appoint and engage such additional
deputies and clerks as he may find
necessary properly to conduct the bust
ness.
Assessors in different townships
would act as agents of the state hail de-
partment, and it is made a part of their
duty, when listing the property for tax
alton to enquire of the farmer if he
desires hail insurance. A premium of
10 cents has been fixed by the bill, but
that amount could be increased if
necessary, and a number of the members
of the assembly who have looked over
the bill seemingly favor a slight in
crease in the rate proposed.
Additional duties, of course, would be
given the county auditors of the state, in
that all applications for insurance would
pass through his Office and be transmit
ted to the state department. The
county treasurer handles the money
collected and turns it over to the state
treasurer.
In cases of hail loss, the county com
missioner of the district in which the
damaged farm is located is made the
adJuster, and he, together with a disin.
terested party chosen by him shall make
the adjustment. An emergency clause
is attached on account of the fact that
the assessors will have completed their
work of listing before July l.

OF late the Evening Times of Grand
Forks must have had a more especial
local interest to Milton readers since it
became known that o. T. Rishoff had
been given an assignment on city news.
The Times is nowadays recognized
as a substantial state daily with a grow
ing circulation. Rishoff's nose for news
has now found him a place bigger than
the country weekly. but a feature that
O. rs. friends will find disappointment
in looking for, unless he changes his
views politically is an expression of his
ideas editorially IN the Times.

According to an item in a recent issue
of the Minneapolis Tribune, both Bank
or Mcmillan, of Hannah, and w. A.
Laidlaw, whom Langdon still claims as
being n of its own, are accredited with
participating in a test given the newly
remodled Mckenzie machine which has
been thoroughly overhauled and re-
adjusted so as to adapt itself t o the
new political policies of the republican
party of this state. AS this meeting
was held at the West Hotel in Min
neapo!is it would appear that North
Dakota republican headquarters at the
old Merchant hotel in st. Paul have
been closed sine die.
