THE NEW EDUCATION.
One of the glories of our coun-
try is that every child in it can get
a. good fundamental education
without money and without price.
Whether we send our children to
the public or the parochial schools
all of US believe in education. We
are not going to be a nation of IL
literateS. A nation in which every
grown man-and soon every
grown woman-is entitled to the
vote, is also entitled to the educa-
ton thatwill make literate voters.
The trouble with our educa-
tional systems in the past has
been that they have not taken in
to account the individual. All chill
dren were considered in the mass.
Certain things were to be studied
and all were to study these alike.
It is exactly as if we were to say
that alFchildren OF certain age
were to wear the same sizes in
hats, shoes and knickerbockers or
skirts, regardless of the height of
the kiddies.
Now just as children differ in
inchs and pounds, SO do they diff
fer in mental capacities, powers
and hobbies. The richest cities
have begun to, recognize this.
Hence the new education. There
are classes for those who are slow
and classes for those who are
especially alert; classes for those
who have especial capacities for
three RS and kindred subjects,
and classes for those whose minds

mean that the child shall be left
to go his own gait, but it does
mean that the teacher, the parents
and the child itself shall find out
and do what is best for the child.

Boys Arm CAUGHT
IN A WRINGER

Neville Journal: A turmoil among
the citizens was caused Monday after
noon by cries from little Simon Mark
and several ladies who had discovered
that the lad had become caught in an
electric Wringer.
Manw men and women rushed to the
scene and DIR. Arneson was among the
early arricals. The boy was soon ex-
tricated from his serious plight which
might have resulted even worse than
it turned out, though it is serious at
this time owing to fear of blood poi
Soning.
AS we understand, Mrs. Peter Mark
was doing the family washing, the
older children being away at school,
while Simon, the 5~-year-old son was
at home with his mother. Mrs. Mark
was using an electric washing ma
chine and wringer. She had shut off
the current and turned to hang out
the clothes. Simon being interested In
the working Of the machine and de-
string to wash his mittens, climbed
upon the machine and turned on the
current. In the next minute one OF his
hands was caught between h rub
Der rollers, drawing his arm into the
machine until his elbow was reached.
His cries attracted the attention Of
many and help came soon. Mrs. Mark
turned off the current stopping the
machine as soon as possible, but the
rollers had squeezed and ~lacerated the
flesh on his forearm frightfully by the
time she cut off the current.
Several men arrived and loosened
the rollers, releasing the little boy from
his ~precarious position. However, his
arm must have been in the wringer
fifteen minutes. He was carried to
DR.. Arneson's office by H. A. Brown
and the wounds were dressed, nearly
twenty stitches being taken in the
flesh.
The doctor thinks the little fellow
will get on nicely If blood poison does
not set in by infection from the cIo-
thing, the arm being badly Iacerated.
At this writing he is doing fine. For
a little fellow he certainly showed a
brave heart under the conditions and
wtthstood the accident and excitement
with hardly a tear.

CRANBERRY CROP
Is MONEY
BIG WISCONSIN INDUSTRY THAT
BRINGS SUBSTANTIAL RE.
TURNS EVERY YEAR.

Madison. wis, Oct. 11.-Ninety per
cent. of the cranberry crop of WILSON,
sin is handled by cooperative COM
panies which net an average return
Of $4,000 per ear to each of their
members. ..-.
Thirty three thousand barrels Of
cranberries." explains John Sinclair
Of the Wisconsin state board of public
affairs, in a recent report on Agricul-
tural Cooperation, were marketed
during the season Of 1911, returning
to the forty growers a little more
than Sc a barrel. In other words, more
than 100000 was returned to the forty
men in the cranberry business in this
state-or the remarkable average re-
turns Of $4,000 each. This fact will
be more significant when it is realized
that the total expenses are only from
o~ne-eighth to one-tenth OF the gross
receipts. Much Of the success of this
movement is due to the organizing
genius of John A. Gaynor of Grand
Rapids, at the present time secretary
of the Wisconsin Sales CO..
Results similar to those obtained
through corporation by the cranberry
growers were also secured by the
fruit men and orchardists who mar
keted their crop comparatively.

BOY SHOT DEAD
near WEBSTER
GUN CARRIED BY HIRED MAN Ac-
CiDENTALLY DISCHARGED,
KILLING BOY.

Webster, N. D., Oct. 11.-Fred Bur
CESS, the 24-year-oLd son of John w.
Burgess near Webster, was shot and
killed while hunting on the shores Of
Sweetwater lake. Young Burgess, in
company with a hired man, were
crawling through the high weeds and
stopping to rest on their, elbows, the
trigger of the hired mans gun caught
in the weeds and the gun was acct
dentally discharged, shooting the
young man in the forehead, killing him
almost instantly DR.. w. F. Sihler Of
this city was hastily summoned and
arrived an hour after the shooting,
getting there about 1870, but death
had occurred before his arrival. An
inquest was held last night by Justice
J~uergens, in the absence of Coroner
GiIbertson and a verdict of accidental
death was rendered. John Burgess,
father of the young a bought the
Fred Baker farm some five years ago,
and the family have resided there ever
since. The young man was well and
favorably known all through the COM
munity in which he lived, and his
tragic death came as a shock to the
friends Of the family. The funeral will
be held tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock from the Burgess home, Rev.
G. l.. wallace Of Devils Lake, conduct
ing the service. Interment will be
made In the cemetery near Webster.

WORD EXPECTED
FROM CAPITAL

James Karas expects by evening to
hear from the Greek ambassador at
washington, D. c., La A. Caromilas,
in regard tt the question as to whether
the Greeks in this city will be called
to the fatherland to assist in the war
which seems imminent.
Mr.. Karas has wired to Washington
in regard to the matter and expects a
reply by evening. He will then call
for a mass meeting Of his countrymen
at some convenient place and win X
plain what is expected of them.
Most of my countrymen," said he
ARE soldiers Of the Greek army and
are subject to call at any time. OF
course they could refuse to go back,
but If they did refuse 1t would be i'm
possible for them to eve visit their
old home again without being sub
jected to arrest. We have 100 men
in this city and vicinity, fully three
fourths of whom could be called on.
In case some OF them did not have the
money to go back it would be sup
piled by the others"

KARR SECRETARY
OF CHAUTAUQUA

Valley City, N. D., Oct. 11.-Rev.
Alex. Kari, who for foul years has
been connected with the conference
claimants endowment fund of the M.
e. church of North Dakota, has been
engaged by the Chautauqua association
of Valley City as secretary Of the as
ISOLATION, for the time being, at least,
and will begin his duties Nov. 1.
Members of the board of directors
are confident that Mr.. Karr is the
most valuable man that could have
been secured for the work In the
northwest. During his connection
with the NJ. e. endowment fund more
than $3.50, 900 have been raised for a
purpose from which the donors could
expect no financial return, and he has
left behind him the good will of all
those width whom he has come in
contact. ar
Mr.. Karr's first work will be to
raise a sum Of money which will put
the Chautauqua association on it's
feet financially. The plans of the as
ISOLATION call for a sum approximate
ing $4,000, which will be used in
paying for the grounds, building an
auditorium, dining hall, improving the
boating and bathing facilities, tennis
courts, and other changes on the
grounds needed to make 1t the most
attractive pleasure resort in the state.
F. E. Osborne, who for two years
has been one of the principal factors
in making the c~hautauqua a success,
will in all probability sever his con-
nection with the association, except
as a member of the board Of directors.
Mr.. Osbornes private business affairs
make it impossible to devote the neces-
sary time to make the chautauqua
a success, such as it can be made,
and he felt it necessary that some
one who could devote his entire time
to the work should take it up.

pastor of the local Methodist church
for the past five years was transfer
red to Broadway church, Fargo, and
Rev. C. F. Sewrey of the Broadway

Rev. Mr.. Hutcheson's removal to Fargo

in q way be glad to submit. The Broad
way church is a much larger church

usefulness in the metropolis. Rev. Mr..
Hutchinson is not only q splendid pas

D. BETTER
FARMING Assn.
SPREADING OUT

Aberdeen, S. d, oct. 1.-The South
Dakota Better Farming association, or
ganized at Aberdeen last winter, q
which has been cooperating with a.
number of Brown county farmers this
year, is preparing to widen the scope
of Its activities over the entire state.
If the cooperation Of the farmers OF
the state can be secured, 1t viii place
an expert farmer In every county in
the state, to advise with the farmers
Incorporating with the association. IL.
f. Patterson, superintendent Of the as
ISOLATION, says:
1.-The association has secured finan-
cial assistance for its Brown county
work for the coming season and the
assurance of support for other coun-
ties which may affiliate n cooperate
with the association. 1t is thought
that $1,000 can be secured for any
county in the state that will raise
from $4,000 to $4,000, according to the
size of the county, which sum will make
an amount sufficient to place a man In
charge Of the work in the county. The
local county organization must be Of
such character that it can affiliate
and cooperate withethe better farming
association, and work under its gener-
al direction.
T"Men competent to undertake work
OF this kind are scarce and hard to
get. but I am in touch with a limited
number of good men, and for this rea-
son, and also on account of the neces-
sity of early action in order to receive
outside assistance, it is desirable that
all counties wishing to affiliate act
Quickly; $4,000 is the least amount
with which the work can be undertake
en- (this would make $2,500 for the
county to raise). and large counties
with diversified interests will require
$4,000 to meet the salary and expenses
of a competent man."

new BANK At
OAKDALE, N. D.

Manning, N. D., Oct. ia certih-
cate Of organization has been issued
to the Northwestern State bank with
M. S. Cuskelly, Robt. j. Wilcox and
A. 3. Curry as ~incorporators, and the
bank will be established at Oakdale.
Mr.. Cuskelly will be president, MI.
Wilcox vice president, and Mr.. Curry
cashier. These three gentlemen with
H. J.. Dehdnger and Rasmus Jenson
form the banks directors, and w. l..
Richards, president of the Merchants
National bank in Dickinson and the
Dunn County State bank at Manning,
is an additional stakeholder. The or
ganization is capitalized at $4,000.
All Of these gentlemen are well
known to residents of the western
portion Of the county, all residing in
the Oakdale vicinity with the excep-
ton of Mr. Richards, who lives in
Dickinson, but who has large land and
stock interests in this county. The
cashier, Mr.. Curry, is an old resident
Of the Oakdale country, blu for the
past two years has been connected
manufacture of the Veerac truck
cars. He still retains an interest in
this company but has severed active
connection and moved with his family
to Oakdale and expects to erect a
dwelling there as soon as material
can be placed OF the ground.
A banking room of suitable size will
be erected at one and it is expected
that the bank will be open for bust
ness not later than Dec. 1.
Oakdale is making rapid improve
ment. Dehlinger & Larson have the
large general store and postof1ce, a
blacksmith is located there, several
new dwellings have been erected for
the business men, and the whole sur
rounding country is enjoying pros
perity.
With such men as the foregoing
behind this financial institution there
is no doubt but that it will grow and
prosper, as 1t should.
