Faculty Member Tells
OF State Convention
MISS .FARNSWoRTH MENTIONS
INTERESTING FEATURES
AT GRAND FORKS,

without doubt the meeting of the
North Dakota Educational association
at Grand Forks was more successful
this year than ever before" said Miss
Nellie Farnsworth of the Domestic
science department te the Normal
school, yesterday afternoon.
1.-THE large features of the meeting
of course, were the addresses of DR..
Woods Hutchinson of New York,
J. Adam Puffer of Boston, DR.. Henry
S Curtis of Olivet, Michigan and
Senator Mcdowell of Marion.
THE theme of Mr.. Curtis address
'On the Playground Movement and
Its Significance" showed that much
could be accomplished with the
younger generation through organized
play. 1t is natural for children to
play, but unorganized play leads no.
where, and so there is large field
for the playground director. "A dir
ector with the right purposes and a
good spirit does away with the OBJ
jectionableness of the gang.
1T was also pointed out that we
Americans ought to play more, and
should be more like our English
brethren, instead Of sacrificing SO
many of the joys of life to make
money.
"Mr. Puffer, in a very businesslike
way, told of his experiences. when he
had charge of a reformatory for boys,
and he made clear the point that no
boy is so bad that he has no good
qualities in him. This facts also calls
for experts who can detect this, good
and develope it. Boys should be
taught to do one thing we'll, and
better than anyone else can do it. Co.
ing wrong among boys is simply mis-
directed effort. Boys should there
fore be watched for their tendency
So it may be learned what they are
best fitted for. This has been badly
neglected in our present system of
education.
The new education as discussed by
DR.. Hutchinson, gave his view as be-
ing opposed to including in the cur
riculum some of the studies that are
of least of Importance to the child
and he favored greater emphasis upon
the more important subjects in which
the child was more interested and
which at the same time greater
practical value. DR.. Hutchinson also
gave very enlightening address on
fresh air in the school room and else
where.
Senator Mcdowell gave one of the
most pleasing and helpful addresses
OF the convention. He pointed out
the fact that the tendency of the past
had been to educate the child away
from the home and the farm to the
city by preaching the doctrine of dis
contentment. North Dakota is only an

Miss Deem Writes on
Art Department Aims
TO AWAKEN APPRECIATION IN
STUDENTS FOR COMMON
PLACE BEAUTY.

! The Art department calls itself zeal
ously the Department of School Arts
| wishing to make no claim to the larg-
er field of Fine Arts, implied by a
more pretentious title. We believe
that drawing in itself, and for the
mere aim of teaching children 20 draw,
has no place in the public school cur
riculur1. But drawing as a method
of teaching the aesthetics of common,
every day living is as important in
the life of the pupil as any of the
time honored studies taught in school.
It is for this reason that all of the
work is made to have a direct bearing
on daily living.
One of the first objects is the cult
walton of appreciation for beauty in
nature. A very large part of the Joy
of life may come from the pleasure
We take in the loneliness of ordinary
things which make up the sum OF
every day life. In North Dakota, we
have very little beauty of landscape,
if We Judge by standards of the varied
line of hill and forest, or of mountain
peak or valley. But in no place in
America is color more rich and var
led, and satisfying as in these semi
arid prairie states. Therefore to fully
appreciate our own landscape, and be
happy in the world, a keen sense of
color is necessary, and this must be
developed and trained. Much of the
work of the Art department has as
it's direct aim the training of color
sense.
Out of this grows the need for more
knowledge in applied aesthetics. The
effect of beauty in such matter as
dress, and household decoration is
kept uppermost in the mind of the
student throughout his course, and
correct standards are set and insisted
upon. 1t is believed to be no small
thing to know how to be appropriately
clothed, especially with a limited in
come, and to have truly beautiful
homes under the same conditions.
The students are taught to observe
carefully, and as result to draw cor
rectly. One years course hardly al
lows for much proficiency in technique,
and the advanced courses are given
for those who care to become strong
technically. The department does not
devote itself to the development of ar
lists however, but to the attainment
of beauty for every day life.
Occasionally some one comes to us
with talent enough to justify our ad-
vising him to prepare himself for max
ing a profession of art, generally as
a teacher. Miss Evelyn Riebe, the
present efficient assistant in the de-
partment is one of our own former stu
dents. Miss Bassett, now teacher in
the Los Angeles School of Fine Arts,
is also a graduate of our department.
Others are to be found in various
schools in the state, carrying on cred
itably the work and ideals of the de-
partment.

Noted Young CeIIiSt
To Appear Here Soon
VALLEY CITY ON ADMITTED LIST
OF REcITALS TO BE GIVEN
IN AMERICA.

| Final arrangements have been COM
Preston Search, the noted young cello
artist, for a recital to be given at the
! Normal school auditorium on the eve
ming of Nov. TO- Mr.. Search was mu-
sic critic and the only American to-
hold engagements during the past
year at the famous Leipzig Gewand--
haus orchestra under the leadership of
Arthur Nikish. FL
After six years of residence in Ger
many, Mr.. Search will be in America
in November and December of this
year for a cycle of fifty recitals reach
ing from coast to coast, one of which
the department of music at the Nor
NAL school has been fortunate enough
to secure. He is under contract to re-
turn to Germany for February and
March recitals in Berlin, Leipzig;
Dresden, Halle and other German
cities.
Following these engagements, Mr..
Search is to appear in Vienna, London,
Edinburgh and Paris, and next fall he
is contracted for in america by lead
ing managers for symphony concerts
and festival engagements. This is q.
remarkable list of engagements for
one so young. Mr.. Search is only in
the early twenties. NJ
While this artist has done most of
his work abroad, the composition for
which he is perhaps best known, is
American. 1t is a tone poem, THE
Miles Standish Fantasia" composed
by the artist, himself. 1t was played
by him when he paid a visit to his
country last year and the Chicago
Music News thus highly compliments
the composer:
"A novelty on the program was the
tone poem for large orchestra by Fred
erick Preston Search, which the COM
poser also conducted. Great interest
had been arousel by the announce
ment of this original work, for the
young composer had created pro-
! found impression on the occasion of
his remarkable recital in Knoxville in
the spring, the success of which led
to his immediate engagement. for this
festival Fully four thousand people
heard the tone POEMS production. Ut
is remarkable composition, particu-
larly by one so young. The whole set
ting. is very unique. "
THE sombre psychological spirit of
the times, the appearance of Miles
Standish as the man Of action, the
| doubt and perplexity from which the
hero arises to decision and triumphant
faith, and the final settled convictions
from which no power on earth could
disturb such personality, all were
magnificently portrayed. The orches-
ira, under the composers leadership,
gave splendid rendition. The Miles
Standish Fantasia scored a great sue
| cess. Frederick Preston Search is
celebrating his twenty-second birth
day Gully 22). With compositions
| like this flowing from his pen he bids
fair to be composer of whom all
America will be proud

FAMINE IN LAFAYETTE
Great Suffering Reported I'm a Secticr
of Florida Not Hundred Miles
from OeaIa

The Jacksonville Metropolis Of the
9Th says:
That the famine conditions at Fay
etteville. in Lafayette county. are even
worse than reported and the people Of
the state generally are totally ignor-
ant of the suffering and privation in
this section. was the statement made
today by Capt. John H. Peck. late SUI
perintendent of the Gulf Coast Trans
portation Company. Captain Peck Is
now in Jacksonville. but only recently
visited the stricken district and is
thoroughly conversant with the condi-
tions existing there today.
Homeless. starving and without
clothing to protect themselves from
the chilly winds which now and then
sweep down from the northland. the
people Of this section are indeed in a
deplorable state and that there have
not already been many deaths from
exposure, is due largely to the fact
that the locality has thus far exper-
fenced little cold weather.
According 10 Captain Peck, who has
just returned from the district, the
famine has been caused by the failure
Of the cotton. corn. sweet potato and
peanut crops, the main staples of this
section. The failure of the crops was
due 10 the heavy rains during the past
summer and as a matter of fact the
greater portion of the land in and
around Fayetteville is now under wa
ter.
People have been forced to leave
their homes and the millions OF mos
quitoes makes life almost unbeara BILE
for them, as they live in the open.
Fever is developing and in their pitia-
BILE condition it is feared a terrible
epidemic is inevitable. The people are
greatly in need of money, food or
clothing and thus far there has been
little heed given their cry for help.

There is not much chance Of the trial
ending before next Tuesday or We'd

the case expect a mistrial or acquit-
tai on the grounds of insanity. Some
Lake county people say that lunacy
commission was appointed to inquire
into HOugh's sanity some days before

done their duty, Hough would have
