A deal transferring the paper from
Dorr H. Carroll to Mr. johnson was
closed yesterday. BY the terms of the
agreement Mr.. Johnson becomes the
owner of the Reporter, but he will
not become actively identified with
the management Of the paper for a
few days.
Negotiations for the transfer have
been in progress for several weeks.
Dorr II. Carroll retires from the news
paper business to devote his time to
the practice of law and to the RoOse-
welt campaign in this section Of the
state.
Mr.. Carroll is member of the ex-
ecutive committee of the new Roose-

nection together with his law practice
and other business are taking so much
Of his time, that he considered It ad-
visable to dispose Of his newspaper
property.
BY a strange coincidence Mr.. John
son comes into the possession Of the
Reporter just fifteen years after he
disposed Of It in 1897. Mr.. Johnson

Within the next sixty days North
EDakotans will have more real use for
the country roads than for the past
nine or ten months. The immense
grain crop must be hauled to the ele'
tvators. The condition of the roGCs
from the fields to the selling poines is
an important factor. The farmer,
with good roads into town, has all
Kinds of advantages over the man who
Mzsn't. The first man can haul larger
Ioads, his horses will have an easier
time and he can make more trips.
The difference will be a noticeable
factor on large grain crop. Every
aoad of grain that is pulled to an ele-
vator over rough, bunny, rutty
road is hauled with economic waste
not only to the owner but to the so
ciety at large.
Farm values increase with good
roads. They are great agencies for
sdeyelopment and uplife. City growth
at the expense of the country dis
4r1cts has been due in large measure
10 the bad roads-and the poor means
OF communication and travel. People
1ed the rural districts because of the
Isolation. Good roads will keep boys
and girls on the farm, will make en-
tertainment, church-going, school at
tendance and social intercourse easier.
Bad roads breed discomfort and fail
sHre. They make bad country. Ig-
s1crance thrives in sections where they
exist
Good roads increase the wealth, in
telligence and social life of the dis
tricts in which they are found. North
Dakota can make good roads cheaply
If the work is intelligently done.
The state should not be disgraced with
-anads that are impossible Of travel.

Did you ever see one sided base
ball game? Well there was some
thing like that played on the ball
ground north of the city last night be-
tween the Oriska Brotherhood and the
Congregational Brotherhood of this
city.
The visiting brotherhood demon
strated beyond any doubt whatever
that they could play ball and had no
trouble in convincing the Congs. to
that effect. It really was pitabie to
see the home boys juggle the ball in
such an outlandish manner They
couldn't catch load of water melons
let alone baseball. ~
In the first place all the good
pitchers were sore over tie defeat Of
the night before by the Methodists
and the management was obliged to
haul into service Jim Mcintyre who
had busted finger and was in no con-
dition to throw his usually hard to his
curves. He did the best he could,
however, and was in luck to be called
off the mound without giving the
Oriska boys nine runs instead Of
eight. This was in the last half of
the first inning when Doc. Wicks was
called to tho rescue. Things began
to look better from the start but he
had such rotten support he had no
chance, whatever. to win out. ..-.
Gee, but it was game Of baseball
worth looking at.
But the Congs. never say die.
They will win the next game they
play without doubt.

Diploma for Rural
Students the Object
STATE INSPECTOR MCDONALD EN-
ThUsEs NORMAL TEACHERS in.
SPLENDID ADDRESS.

A common school diploma for every
country boy and a common school d.
r'oma for every country girl Is the
slogan to be adopted by every teach
er in the rural schools of the state
is the idea of Neil C. Mcdonald, state
inspector of rural schools.
In a stirring address, before the
teachers of the institute at the Nor
NAL this morning Mr.. Macdonald re-
cited his experiences in the field and
gave some of the remedies for the
wrong conditions now existing. Among
those he deemed the most glazing of
the evils were poor attendance, poor
teachers, poor salaries, poor equip
ment and poor financial support OF
schools. 2.
As he has gone about his duty Mr..
Macdonald says that he has found
places where the teachers were abso-
lutely ignorant OF the laws providing
aid for rural schools and that many
teachers do not know of the differ
ence between first and second grade
schools. OF the total number of
schools in the state, approximately
5000, there are only about 200 that
will meet the legal requirements for
second class rural and about so for
first class rural. He made compari-
son with the rural schools of Mani
toba, showing that during the year
1909-1910 we have an average school
term of 100 days to Manatoba's PIP;
our average being 1919, Manitoba's
$545, and that while we have minor re-
quirements for qualifications Manitoba
requires a four year normal school
course.
Mr.. Macdonald deplored the fact
that boys are kept out Of school to
earn money to support the schools
they are not allowed to attend. He
read questions he had asked various
boys on the farms and gave their an
swers to prove they were the most
in need of educational training. Boys
of the age of eleven and sixteen were
being kept out of school to such an
extent that were only in the fourth
and fifth grades. Some OF the an
swers they made to questions were:
Hambletonian: hen; woman.
Shakespeare: A Indian.
Whittier: a grass; Indian.
Capitol Of North Dakota: Fargo.
Lincoln: First president OF United
States.
Clydesdale: a river.
One boy who made these answers
said that his father owned five quar-
ter sections Of land, an automobile
and money in the bank. This boy was
out of school nine weeks in the fall,
was fifteen years old and in the fourth
grade.
The lust for money was given as
one of the great evils in robbing the
boys of their educational opportuni-
ties. ''The lust for money" said the
speaker, "leads to an utter contempt
for law" He then urged the teachers
to do their utmost to enforce the
school laws and to induce the direc-
tors of schools to make the highest
possible tax levy for school support.
At the close of Mr.. Macdonald's ad-
dress President Mcfarland endorsed
the sentiments of the speaker.
