STAND BACK OF THE
SCHOOLS HE SAYS

the schools of the country my be freed
from this constant grueling.
There is another influence on our
schools, however, coming directly from
the parents, not only in localities,
but generally speaking. The Ameri-
can people of this age are in too much
of a hurry and are too busy to spend
any time in the school room where
their children are being framed into
useful men and women. 1t is true that
they will sometime appear at our
entertainments to witness their pro-
geny show Off so to speak, but when
it comes to visiting for the purpose of
seeing what their children are actual
ly doing in school day by day, they
are minus quantity.
q have ever known parents-and
have heard them-say that they would
be relieved when school began and the
children were in school. These people
evidently regard the public school as
blessing, not because they are aware
of the fact that it fits the boys and
girls for life, but because the school
is responsible for them while they,
the parents, join the race for the ac
cumulation of personal property. This
condition of affairs has a very dis
couraging effect upon the children.
They are all philosophers in way,
and when they see their parents neg
lect these things they will certainly
not study as well is if their PARENTS
were. in closer touch with their inter
ests.
'It is an established fact that TWO
out of every three cases of non-inter-
est in pupils in school work, the par
ents are largely to blame. They do
not visit the schools, they do not give.
the pupils any encouragement at home.
In this neglect they rob the children
of the enthusiasm they would other
wise have"

WASHINGTON, April 12.-In a
sweeping decision handed down today,
the Interstate Commerce Commission
ordered big reductions in the rates
on wool, hides and pelts from every
point west of the Mississippi river to
to every point in the east. The ruling
entirely upsets the wool rate system
maintained since 1896. The commits

BOVILL, Idaho, April 12.-In or
our public schools, Prof. Taylor is
calling a meeting of the parents and
patrons of the school to be held at
the school house on Wednesday, April
III, at 80 p. m. In calling this meet
ing he has the following to say:
Believing that closer relationship
between the mothers and the teachers
would solve many of the problems
confronting our schools, we respect
fully request all parents to meet at
the school building on Wednesday,
April II, at 2:30 o'clock.
''There is very perceptible drag
on the part of the parents and patrons
in exerting the proper influence on our
schools and pupils. In other words,
they do not stand back of the school.
THE majority of the American citi-
zens of today have awakened to the
fact that the public school is blessing
eclipsed by no other institution eX-
come in contact with that out-of-date
individual who is continually harassing
the school boards, the course of study
and the instructors.
1.-The individual with the mania for
knocking the schools need not be
characterized here in order that we
may see him as he really appears.
Sufficient to say that he seldom sees
inside of the public school in session
during the entire term, seldom or never
holds conversation with school prin-
cipal on school affairs, and imagines,
yes, draws his whole conclusion from
the fact that one or two pupils fail to
make the progress that their more
studious class mates are making.

selves, however, because of the fact
that this type is rapidly growing ex-
tinct, and hope that in the near future

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 30.-Grim

she arose from her Thanksgiving day
dinner to greet at the door a neighbor
who brought the information to her.
1t had been a happy day, though for
hours her husband had been cold in
death, his form mangled between the
car couplings. Mercifully she had
been spared the knowledge till after
the Thanksgiving dinner which she
had prepared for her mother, Mrs.
Jackson of jamestown, n. d. ana
w. M. Bell of that city, and two chill
dren of her sister, Mrs. Mcintyre, had
been served. 1t was a tragic climax
to her day of Thanksgiving when the
neighbor, ringing the doorbell as the
bearer of the information, called her
from the table where all had been
happiness, though ever then the head
or the nome was deAu.
Accident Was Peculiar.
The accident that killed Mr.. Davis
was peculiar In some respects. He
left Grand Forks yesterday morning
on a freight and raj engaged switch

When he failed to give the signal

cause.

this fo~resightsd custom can extend In
more than n direction.
One of the key rings was given to
Andrew G.. Johnson, q young farmer
residing In the Bonetraill vicinity; and
1T appears that Mr.. Johnson had his
name. but not his address, placed on
the lame tag. A short time ago a
pocketbook containing a considerable
sum In currency, some important pa
pers, and a ring of keys, was found
TAR over is Mckenzie county near the
Yellowstone river. The tag on the
key ring bore the name of Andrew G.
Johnson. The finder had no knowI-
edge of an Andrew G.. Johnson; so
meeting Sheriff jacobson OF that coun-
ty soon afterward, he turned the peck
etnook over to him in the hope that
the owner might be found. The sheriff
VINO probably knows every permanent
resident Of his county, was not ac-
qnainted with any mar bearing that
name.
Seeing the lame of O.. A. Houge on
the Key tag he made the natural de-
duction that the Williston land man
might know Johnson's whereabouts.
The first time he was in the city he
laid the matter before Mr.. Houge,
who had only to refresh his
by referring to his list Of names. He
Immediately wrote to Mr.. Johnson at

trinket, which together with Mr..
Houge's careful business system, was

able loss.
