Gros Ncntre and Ojibway Indians may
be preserved and perpctuated for COM
ing generations long after these aborig-
ines pass TO the happy hunting grounds.
the United States government has
taken steps TO record these mysteries
through the use of the camera and the
photograph. The work has beer taken
up by tho bureau of cthuolOgv at
Washington, through the assistance of
the North Dakota State Historical So
cIcty. The government assigned a wo-
man. Miss Frances Densmoro of the
bureau OF ~ethnology. to take charge of
the task. Miss Dcnsmore, in pursu-
ancc to instructions, went to Flbo-
woods, on the Rcrthoid reservation, ac-
companied by Or. Libby. to take the
songs and stories Of the indians on a
photograph. The process will enable
her to get the rhythm and notes of the
songs, as we'll as data concerning the
parts these songs played in tire various
dances. The Indians regard these songs
as sacred. and they are a part of their
worship.
Miss Densmore will make her report
to the bureau of ethnology, and her
records will he deposited with the State
Historical society in Bismarck, y. D.

Education of Exceptional Children, of
which Or. A. Emil Schmitt of New

Philander T. Claxton, United States
commissioner OF education, presiding
officer.
Discussion deals with "The Differ
cntfation Between the Difficult and
Backward Child and the Feeble Mind
ed Child" and special stress will be
laid upon the necessity of concentrate
Ing attention and effort upon the child
that can be saved for useful citizen
ship. 1t is maintained by the associa-
ton that the feeble minded child does
not present a problem of school educa-
ton and that it is unfortunate that
the entire subject Of special education

many by the undue attention which
has recently been given to the men

FARMING WITH A PENCIL
OFTEN YIELDS GOOD CROPS
Every Farmer Should Try to Keep
Track OF His observation-disclosures
Sets a Man Thinking Seriously.

\ rather prominent writer on farm
topics has said that the implement
that IS used less than any other on the
farm and the one that should 10 used
most is Just the plain ordinary lead
. pencil. There is considerable truth in
this statement. Farmers rs Il general
thing do not give as much attention
as they should to record keeping.
The lead pencil should be in use
cv"ry day. 4 definite account of i'll
come and outgo should be kept. This
is readily admitted, but this is by no
means all. The production of the diff
ferent lines of farm work. the cost of
keeping up these lines and also the
general items Of labor. feed, equipment
and the many minor i~ncidcntais,
should be taken into consideration. 1t
is only fair that the farmer should
know what his various crops are cost
ing him. When Just the income is tax
on II consideration and the cost is
Jumped off us mi years work there
can he q definite knowledge of
profits and losses.
The dairy farmer should know not
only what the feeds that are purchas-
ed cost, but he should know the cost
of each ton Of silaGe or alfalfa and
each bushel Of corn. These sums
should take into consideration all the
work, from blowing the ground to har-
veSting the crop. If Il great many of
the men who are thought to he sue
cesSful farmers were TO begin a care
full plan of cost keeping they would
soon realize they are not in the class
that they anticipated-that is, they
would find out that they are not max
Ing as much as people are giving them
credit for.
There is another thing that the lead
pencil will help to accomplish. 1t will
stimulate thought. Nothing will start
a man to thinking quicker than an ac-
count that overbalances on the wrong !
side; nothing will more edfectually
start him to Investigating to see If he
cannot find where the fault lies.
one caution must he given in this
connection, and that is not To give up.
Don't let the ron kind of figures
discourage, but, rather, hunt around
for the way out. There certainly is n
solution Of the problem. and the one
