MOTHERS DAY in KINDER.
GARTEN IS INTERESTING

Last Friday was mothers day at the
Model school kindergarten, at which
some thirteen mothers Of children in
the school were present to- witness
some of the work being done, Miss
Fristad of the department of public
school music sang some of the Christ
mas songs that the children are to
learn. Miss Lyford, kindergartener,
read Christmas story and explained
the work of the class that will be done
for Christmas. Nuts and raisins were
served. The guests were very inter-

ing is to become regular event it is
hoped that more of the mothers of
children in the school will take ad-
vantage of being present.

The second number Of the First An

little comment among those interested
in music both among the students anC
the citizens. VIM. Clare Hall, tenor
who is to sing in the quartette re
cital on the evening of Dec. 10 needs
no introduction to Valley City people
having appeared in the auditorium in
solo parts in the last winter festival
when the choral union presented "Nar
cissus,' and ',Fair Ellen"
Mr.. Hall, it will be interesting to
note, was at one time a pupil in voice
under Mr.. Goodsell of the Normal
school department Of music. 1t was
as a country boy that the tenor first
came to the notice of Mr.. Goodsell at
Tabor, Iowa, and where he found him.
self for the first time as singer.
From Tabor, Mr.. Goodsell went to
the university conservatory of music
at Iowa City, taking Mr.. Hall with
him.
Decides on Music.
1t was here that Mr.. Hall decided up
on a career of music, leaving later to
study under several teachers in Chi
cago before going abroad. His first
foreign teacher was Bouhy, but he af-
forwards studied with Oscar Siegel
and Jean De Reszke, who noticed the
unusual quality of his voice, took him
under their personal supervision, and
with them Mr. Hall spent the greater
part of his time in Europe. He coach
ed with the French teacher of the
Opera Comique, La Pierre, and Ger
man Lieder with Alexander Nelchow.
He also spent some time in London
where he coached oratorio with the
noted London teachers, and has also
had numerous opportunities to enter
grand opera.

portion of his crop to his animals and
apply the manure to the soil. In the
second place, he should not burn the
straw or stubble, but return it to the
soil. On the market nitrogen is
worth Is cents a pound, phosphorus
~ cents pound, and potassium G
cents pound. At those prices a ton
of wheat straw contains 12h times IL
cents or $1.s7 worth of nitrogen; 2
times II cents or "a cents worth OF
phosphorus; and 171h times cents OF
$1.05 worth of potassium; making q
total of 1915 of actual loss in money
value when ton of wheat straw il
burned.
Don't Burn Straw.
1T is a sad sight to one who knows
what is sure to happen when he sees
his straw stack burn. Some one will
have to suffer for every stack that is
burned. It is crime to burn straw
and should be recognized as such by
law.
"This is not only true because OF
the plant food in the straw, but be
cause of the effect that the straw and
manure have on the soil in other
ways. Straw when it decays fur
nishes humus to the soil. This, among
other things, tends to make the sol
hold more water, aids in the growth
Of needful bacteria and makes the
soil less liable to drift.
s'The farmer can also add nitrogen
ito the soil by growing legumes, like
alfalfa, clover and field peas. These
iplants have the power to take nitro
gen from the air and place 1t insthe
soil because Of the bacteria on Their
roots.

What Are Schools to
DO for farmers Sons
PROF. sELDEN ANSWERS WITH
THE EXPERIENCES or HIS
DEPARTMENT..

What are, the schools doing for the
farmers sons? is question Of con-
siderable importance, and one that
should be answered to the satisfaction
of the farmers themselves. It is not
a question of theorizing as to what
would be; the ideal sort of instruction,
but rather, what is the most practi-
cal and common sense course to pur-
sue at the present time?
This is one. of the problems that
the State Normal school at Valley
City has attempted to solve. Some
success in its solution has already
been gained. With the cooperation
Of the schools throughout the state
there is q fair prospect that the rural
population of North Dakota will soon
be able to boast Of the most useful
and practical system of rural schools.
That there must be some way of
teaching what ought to be taught
without overburdening the taxpayers
seemed reasonable and an effort was
made to find it. In doing this It be.
came evident that practically all the
schemes of school shop work in use
in other states would need to be aban-
doned. That no small degree of sue
cess has come from the effort is we'll
demonstrated by work actually in pro-
gress in a fair number of schools
throughout the state.
Eliminating the Useless.
The first important step was to or
ganize the work so as to eliminate the
useless, which often was found also
to be the needlessly expensive. It has
been found that If boy is to really
learn the principles of mechanical
work he must not be led through an
extended lot of miscellaneous sorts Of
mechanical work, but rather, by the
use of few tools, taught the funda-
mentals so thoroughly that he will be
able to apply his knowledge to any
problems that may arise. This Is one
reason why the teachers from the Val
ley City Normal succeed SO much bet
ter than those from some institutions
with much more elaborate equipment.
There IL such thing as boy losing
himself In a great variety Of machines
that suggest such multitude Of dis
connected and unrelated problems as
to completely preclude the possibility
Of definite and successful study Of
the principles which should be mas
tered.
An Advance In Methods.
That many Of the principles Of

working all solid materials may be
learned by proper studies with simple
tools and only wood as material has
been thoroughly proven. In this ad.
vanced step in Industrial education
the Valley City Normal is undoubted-
ly far in the lead. It has been demon
strated by actual test that the little
folding bench illustrated in the West
land Educator" some two years ago
can be used in the one room school
and actual mechanical science work
taught.
Decreasing the Noise.
As the work has been reduced little
by little to study Of principles rather
than tool processes the matter Of
noise has greatly decreased. 1t has
been found that when boy is at
work to learn, his movements are de-
liberate and definite. Such methods
eliminate entirely the noise from care
lessness and misdirected movements.
Likewise changing of the school shop
from third rate factory to place
Of study dispenses with all those cum
'bersome projects that have SO often
proved to be not only of little value
to the elementary pupil but most un-
reasonable expense for the school in
both teachefs time and shop space.
With this change in the fundamen-
tai ideas Of the work the pupil not
only gets a much broader and, more
Immediately practical training, but
also works so quietly as to elimin-
ate the factor Of noise in a large part
OF the work.
Every School may have shop work
Eliminating these useelss or harm
full elements of the school shop work
places a thoroughly practical course
in the use Of tools within the reach
of every community if they will take
the trouble to select q teacher quail
fled to teach this work and provide
the small amount OF. equipment neces-
sary.
Many schools throughout this state
have written to the Valley City Nor
NAL for assistance in securing teach
ers, and also for advice in regard to
courses and equipment. The school
is always glad to reply to such in
quiries in the fullest manner. No
stock list Of tools and advice is given.
but rather each schools needs are
carefully considered and lists worked
out to give best results from such con.
ditions as prevail in each individual
community.

Of exceptional value. Let "a ali nan
