morrow at st. Paul and the outcome
of the contest is anNiously awaited

this n tho association recommends
that the movement for better farming
be encouraged in the schools and that
the type OF education in each COM
munity be correlated with the indus
tries OF that community.
We recommend the consolidation OF
rural schools wherever possible. To
facilitate consolidation. 1t i recon-
mended that all FAIR means be used to
secure better roads. We urge longer
terms of school and longer terms Of
Office and better salaries for rural
teachers. We recommend that the
committee on legislation work for a
larger appropriation for state aid for
rural schools.
We desire to give all possible en-
couragement to the movement for the
wider use of school houses at intellec-
communities. particularly in the rural
districts. We would commend this as
the best Of public economy.
Resolved, that this association go on
record as %indorsing emphatically ev-
cry legitimate agency that has for its
purpose the increasing Of the NUM-

MANY ATTEND
THE FUNERAL OF

The funeral Of Thomas H. May at
Larimore yesterday afternoon was
largely attended. During the service
all business houses were closed. Rev.
J. K. Burleson of Grand Forks con-
Quoted the service which was held in
the Presbyterian church. the Episco-
pal church not being large enough
to hold the many friends Of the dead
man who had gathered from all parts
Of the state. The Larimore band and

the grave the Elk ritual was carried
out. Among the Grand Forks Elks

UNDER DIRECT
STATE CONTROL
Taylor Would Change Sys-
tenn Of SUPPLEMENTARY
in North Dakota.

The establishment of a superintend-
ency that would be under the direct
control of. the state. was advocated
by State Superintendent e. j. Taylor
in his address before the county su-
perintendents yesterday afternoon.
OF the present county unit plan of
superintendent and the division of the
state into districts. with a superin-
tendent for each district.
In discussing the question Of SUPER
intending schools. MI. Taylor said the
creation of districts of equitable size,
arranged In such name as to get
the best possible service from the
superintendent. would be preferable
to the present plan. He suggested the
appointment Of the superintendent
by representatives from each school
district, and advised a %ive-year term.
Under State Control.
Each superintende would report
to the state. his salary would be paid
by the state, and in every feature he
would be under the direct control of
the state.
Visitation That Counts" was one
of the important questions discussed
at this meeting. Superintendent Henry
Hanson of Emmons county, presented
the question. Every phase was brought
out and discussed. Many helpful sug-
gestions on the manner In which
visits should be made were offered
the superintendent present.
]. Adams Puffer. Of Boston and DIR.
Henry s. Curtiss Of Olivet. Mich. were
present at the meeting and delivered
addresses. MIR. Puffer spoke briefly
on some Of the problems Of the rural
school. while DIR. Curtiss took up at
some length a number of games that.
he said, should be added to the cur
riculum of the school. He advised
the right kind and amount Of recrea-
ton as the hest means of obtaining
the right results.

fact that the indispensable basis of
e1ective advertisement Of any city Is
solid merit and civic virtue. Educa-
ton like charity begins at home and
1t Is impossible for a club to accom-
piish the greatest amount of good un-
its W membership. unless the mem.
oers Of the club are awake to the
city's needs and can talk intelligently
about them II occasion demands. The
bt-weekly dinner offers a sort of
forum or clearing house for ideas. It
gives an opportunity for a discussion
OF civic problems of all kinds and

Cfty's Needs.
Besides affording an opportunity
Tor discussion of what the city needs.
the bi-weekly dinner offers another
advantage, educational in it's nature.
IT gives the club membership a
chance to learn something about what
the city already has. It is not strange
that many. residents Of Grand Forks
including business men are woefuliy
ignorant OF the advantages Of Grand
Forks as compared to other cities OF
similar size. For instance, at n of
the bi-weekly dinners last year the
general subject of Grand Forks wa
ter supply was discussed by City En-
gineer Lykken and DR.. Ruediger. now
director Of the filter. The club mem
bers were given definite. interesting
and practical information regarding
the method of filtration and the re.
suits. illusions of various kinds were
dissipated by the Information received
and Grand Forks people now know
much more about the kind Of filter
used by tho city and the relative purity
Of the water.
Another advantage Of the bi-week-
" dinner sometimes regarded as most
important Is the opportunity offered
the members for getting acquainted,
rubbing elbows with one another.
Of enjoyment. Business problems arc
forgotten in this association and there
Ia hound to spring up a better spirit
OF friendship and friendliness among
the business men Of the city. II the

than this It would be we'll worth

TRACY r. BANGS
A NEW
METHOD

Several changes in the manage
ment of the higher institutions Of
learning OF the state were advocated
by Tracy R.. Bangs in IN address be-
fore the department of the higher and
professional education OF the Educa-
tional association yesterday afternoon.
The plan proposed by Mr.. Bangs pro-
vides an Independent board for the
university and a similar board for the
agricultural college and would give
to the latter board supervision over
the School of Forestry and possibly
e the normal and industrial school
at Glendale. The plan also calls for
a single board to take charge of all
of the normal schools. The speaker
also declared the school of science
at Wahpeton should be made either a
normal school or should be combined
with the industrial school, at Ellen
dale. Mr.. Bangs advocated the reduc-
ton Of duplication Of the same work
to a minimum.
