SUCCESS OF
PROHIBITION
Judge Pollock Tells Of Ad-
vancernent State Has
Made Under it.

Judge c. NJ. Pollock Of Fargo, who
has been conducting moot court at
the law school this week, was the
university convocation speaker this
morning. He spoke on 1.-THE success
Of Prohibition in North Dakota" CIV
ing an economic discussion OF the
general problem Of dealing with the
liquor traffic. He began his discourse
by speaking Of the expense of hand
ling liquor. Judge Pollock maintain
ed that legislation should be passed
by the state which will reduce the
consumption Of this commodity to
the minimum in every community.
In this way the different. localities
will be relieved to a considerable ex-
tent Of the burden Of caring for the
poor. A good system Of legislation
should be established which will give
high ideals Of the different civic
problems.
Judge Pollock told Of prohibition
being brought to this. state in 1881,
and gave a contrast Of conditions here
before and after 1t was put in force.
Before 1881, the farmers and others
were interfered with materially. be.
cause the saloons made 1t very hard
to keep steady help. Since conditions.
while not ideal. have been greatly Inn
proved, he said.

benefits pointed out. has another very
important result in lettering the

SHAKESPEARE A
LAWYER
MRS. CHAS. POLLOCK

1.-THE Law Of Shakespeare" was the
subject Of an interesting lecture de-
.livered at the university law school
Friday afternoon by Mrs. Charles Pol
lock Of Fargo. The discussion Of the
law OF Shakespeare involved a. study
him CONCERNING the several trades les and
professions in the plays written. BY
a process Of elimination the speaker
showed that Shakespeare must have
been a lawyer. Mrs. Pollock gave a
complete analysis Of the law Of the
trial In The Merchant Of Venice"
She maintained also that Bacon did
not write any of shaespeare's. plays.
Judge Pollock also spoke to the

employ corrupt methods for the pur-
pose Of making money. The speaker
maintained that at the present time
there are 90 many lawyers who are
willing to do unfair things in order
to gain financially.

Chrysanthemurns
In 1000 Varieties


Tho word chrysanthemum covers a
multitude of flowers. although from
the beginning somewhat similar. there
is now-thanks to cultivation-such
an array Of varieties (many thousands
OF them) that the similarity among
many of them is rather remote and
even an expert sometimes hesitates in
pronouncing the different varities
| chrysanthemums. The difference in
size is perhaps as striking as any 9TH
err characteristic. Some varieties are
so small they would hardly v a
dime and 1t would take a great many
flowers to balance a dime in weight.
while other varieties produce flowers
Weighing more than a pound each and
moro than Il yard in circumference.
You can trace the history of this
flower back as far as Confucius. who
mentions 1t in his Li-Ki. but the best
history hat IAN be compiled IL but
fragmentary and incomplete. and,
spread over centuries. There are in
existence more than 100 books written
and published about this flower. The
subject must have been alluring and

SCHOOL INSPECTION DISCUSSED BY
MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEEMAN
Grand Forks has Taken no Definite Steps in the PROPOSE
ton, But it is Expected So me Action Will he Taken
Before Long-How the Plan is Worked Out.

One OF the progressive steps in the
perfectins OF the public school sys-
te mot the country. as well as in con-
serving the health OF the children is
school inspection. Grand Forks has
already had some inspection in the
schools by Miss Packenbusch. the Wis
itlng nurse. n her reports indicated
that even In North Dakota's healthy
climate there is need Of this important
remedial and preventive method. II
is important that people should un-
derstand what school inspection is
what 1t proposes to do, and why Il is
regarded as SO essential. No law con
be enforced until the people under
stand 1t and can zee what is to be
gained for them. Naturally there ID
ton In Grand Forks as in large and
contested cities.
II 10 therefore natural that school
inspection starts in large sized cities
where h harm Of neglecting con
tagion and physical health rubs right
up against many people every week.
It's value n utility. however. is sure
dent Of small. but progressive cities.
In discussing the subject Of school
inspection a member Of the municipal
anatrs committee Of the Commercial
club pointed out It's purposes and the
methods used In the following man.
ner: The inspection Of school chill
dren has four objects:
I. Control Of contagion.
q. Prevention Of communicable
conditions other than contagion.
3. Detection of physical defects.
L.. Care of children who are dis
ttnctly sub-normal mentally.
In large cities this work is so com.
pick that it is divided between teach.
ers. school physicians. school nurses
and departments for backward chill
dren. In small communities these
several things are combined and done
by n or two agencies.
In the control Of contagion, school
inspection works out something after
this fashion. When the children as
semble in the morning the teacher
notes all who complain Of feeling iii.
appear sick or have been absent from
chool for more than two days. Such
children are questioned closely. and
any who are open to suspicion of hav-
ing a CONTAGIOUS disease or communi.
cable condition are sent to a room
where they are kept separated from,
the balance Of the children until the
school nurse or physician arrives.
In smaller cities the duties Of the
school physician and school nurse are
combined. the nurse having the power
