SOCIAL AFFAIRS
Of COUNTRY LIFE
were DISCUSSED
Superintendent VignesS Told
Of bufIcigh County Con-
ditiOnS at Conference

On December II to 20 was held al
the Agricultural College in Fargo the
first North Dakota Country Life Con
ference, which, SO far IN ! know, Is
the first conference Of this Kind to be
held anywhere. It was held pursuant
to call of Prof. A. +. ArvOld Of the
Extension Department of the College.
The idea was TO arrive at a correct
knowledge Of the social conditions in
the rural communities in North oako.
Ia, and what can be done to better
them. .
The real man behind this movement
is undoubtedly Prof. Arvold. He call.
ed upon all the county superintendent
in the state for a statement OF the o
cial conditions as they understood
them in their respective counties, and
] am glad to say that very few failed
to respond by either sending in their
paper or being present in person.
The writer had the task Of describ-
ing these conditions in Burleish coun-
ty. In this he tried to make plain
the real situation as he sees them in
the rural communities only. The cit.
les such az Bismarck present this
problem from an entirely different
point of view, because they have
churches. lodges, and all kinds of
amuseme1ts to offer: but when it
m to the country the great trouble
is the lack of these things. In Bur
leigh county, for instance. we find that
pD1v ciyfoon coctiopc in tacb fO,unchjn
were open to the actual homesteader.
This necessarily leaves them very
much isolated with vast stretches of
undeveloped prairie between them.
They seldom reach church; Sunday
schools are few and far between: the
schools are necessarily scattered,
small and poorly attended. There is
very little organized effort for social
contact of any kind.
This lack of social contact among
the farm people has the effect OF bring
ing out the old. prehistoric instinct of
distrust. suspicion. strife and stress.
When II neighbor sees another nov
over in the distance he eeS danger to
himself and so we have this suspicious
feeling that is often so much in evil
'dence in sparsely settled communities.
1t is universally agreed that the only
remedy for these conditions is more
social contact. People must touch ell
bows before a fraternal feeling will be
established. And at this point we find
that the teacher is of vital Importance.
In Burleigh county, | am happy to

any more to make this improvement
there than In the city. Think what a
saving this would near to the wife.
One young man stated that he ald his
two brothers were arranging to give
their mother a $50 gasoline engine for
a christmas surprise. This engine will
do her washing, churning, II the
cream separator, and thus help to
tighten her burdens as a farm women.

duplicated for the same price or less
in a well managed farm home. But
the farmer too often regards his farm
as a temporary home where he does
not care to eXpend much for improv,
ing because he plans to move to the
city where the boys can get an edu.
cation" and thus be relieved of the
farm drudgery. The wife is therefore
lost sight OF and must drudge away
minus all conveniences that might
tighten her work.
Before closing ! wish to call atten-
ton to the Extension work of the Ag-
ricultural College. This splendid ii.
stiiution is yours and It stands ready
to come to you with much valuable
assistance In the promotion of such
ideas as ] have mentioned. ] would
urge that the farmers keep in touch
with the college and the helping hand
will be chcerfully extended.

plants coming to the county board OF
health a few days since caused al In.
vestigation to be made by Supt. Buz.
zell and Vice President Holset of the
reported neglect and cruelty Of Philip
Oberlander and wife of their three.
year old daughter.
About n month ago the unfortunate
child was severely scalded on the left
shoulder, arm and back by the over
turning from the kitchen stove OF a
kettle Of boiling water. No medical or
professional aid has been asked for or
given the child, which has been kept
sitting in a nude condition in a basket
back of the stove. The scalded flesh
has been slowly sloushing AID is n
mass of sores. The little tot has been
kept nude for the reason that wearing
apparel would stick to the sores.
When the doctor and Mr.. Holset
called at the Oberlander home the
parents at once informed them that
they did not want a doctor, but after
being made acquainted with the pen
atty of the law they finally permitted
the doctor TO dress the childs injuries
and give 1t some relief.
The Oberlanders are parents OF sew
entccn children and we understand
that he gives as his reason for not
calling a doctor to attend his child's
injuries was that he hadn't the money
to pay one. 1t is said to be quite re.
markable that the child has survived
its injuries rs well as it has il Us un-
sanitary surroundings and lack Of
proper care.
Later-It was learned that Ober.
lander has broken faith with the board
of health. He promised to bring the

CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL.

The Christmas festival is one of the
most beautiful and blessed in all the
world. We then celebrate the birth of
a child whose life exemplified all that
is best In humanity, and somehow this
has thrown a glory around all child
hood. In every babe born into the
world are infinite possibilities, and
with the recognition of this fact there
comes a new regard for motherhood
and new reverence Tor CIR common
heritage as children of the Most High.
At this season too. we cannot forget
that Peace on Earth" so long since
prophesied and sung, is still not an ac-
complished fact, though it comes stad.
lily nearer. This will only be achieved
when we have a full realization of the
meaning of the greatest thing in the
world'-love. So we wish all the meL
and women in the city and elsewhere
not forgetting the little children, a
merry, merry Christmas. 1t is hoped
that the spirit of this festival may
linser and abide with us throughout
