NEVApA's STARTLING IDEA.

Nevada has struck a new note in
the symphony pathetique" OF human
Ills by evolving a plan for the aid and
comfort Of men who have been con-
demned to death.
The plan suggested in Nevada is
that men who face the gailows be given
the privilege of dying in some other
fashion. 1t is planned to give to men
in such predicaments a deadly poison
land insure them an opportunity to
take it. If. after a stated time. the
prisoner has not shuffied off the NOR
cal coil by aid of the drug placed in
his possession-the moose may then be
adjusted.
The terrors OF death by hanging are,
probably, the terrors Of anticipation.
Experts say that the actual experience
Is usually not extremely painful. II Is
like the pulling OF a tooth-the end is
reached almost simultaneously with
the beginning.
But the days and nights of waiting
are equivalent, perhaps, to many
deaths-whereas the law has exacted
but one death.
The man who is imprisoned should
be given the best possible opportunity
to work out his moral salvation. The
man who must be put to death-con-
cenng that the thing is ever right or
necessary-should be killed mercifully.
The Nevada idea may be a step in
the right direction. Unless the pris-
oner may be made to believe that he
has received the fatal draught surrep-
titiously 1t Is likely, after all, that he
might look forward with equal terror,
TO the hernlock and to the moose.

FARGO TEACHERS
FOR next YEAR
BOARD OF EDUCATION HOLDS
MEETING AND RECOMMENDS A
LIST OF TEACHERS FOR NEXT
YEAR-LITTLE BUSINESS IS
TRANSACTED.

The board of education of the city
city met last evening at the office OF
Superintendent Hoover and transacted
a very small amount of business. The
most important event to come before
the meeting was the recommendation
of the list of teachers who will be given
an opportunity to sign contracts to
teach in Fargo next year.
Insurance matters demanded the at
tention of the members of the board
for some time and an effort will be
made to have the city school buildings
all placed on their proper valuation
basis. 1t was reported that the furni-
ture and books in number of the
school buildings were not insured, and
some of the members deemed it ad-
visable to have these properly insured.
As result of an inspection by the in
surance men, as justly due to educa-
ttonal interests OF the city.
Two ladies appeared before the
board asking that electric lights be in
stalled in certain rooms in the Wash
ington school building, so that night
meetings can be held there. A club in
holding meetings of an educational
nature among the residents of the
neighborhood, and these will be con-
tinued, but win be held i'm the eve
nings SO that the husbands can attend.
The board granted the request.
The question of bonds for the pro-
posed new school building was taken
up and application for an issue of
bonds to the extent of $4,000 will be
made to the secretary Of the state
board OF school lands, with the view
of securing money for the proposed
building. 1t was also decided to pay
off the bonds to the state, which fall
due July |, 1911.
Bids were received for the establish
ing of bathing fixtures and materials
at the washington school building
from three different firms. The ques-
ton OF allowing the contract was left
to the building COMMITTEES which will
decide the question at an early date
On the fling of the report of the in
structors of the free kindergarten, the
board decided to pay over to the in
structors the sum of 500. This is
the amount that Is annually awarded
this institution.
superintendent Hoover gave the
members of the board some idea of
the play grounds at the schools at
Hibbing Mimi. which he visited res
Gently He was very enthusiastic over
the the playground situation as was
practiced at Hibbing; and one mem
Der OF the board remarked that he
hoped TO see similar apparatus in at
least one of the Fargo schools in the
very near future. This question will
be considered further by the members
