DEAF FAIL TO
ATTEND SCHOOL

According to the estimate made by
j. w. Blattner, superintendent Of the
North Dakota school for the deaf.
there should be about $50 deaf child
rem of school age in the state of North
Dakota.
The enrolment at the school for
the deaf was ninety-four during the
past year, so that about one-third Of
the deaf in the state were kept out Of
the school. The superintendent APP
peals to the people of the state to
send the deaf to the school so that
they may avail themselves of the priv
ieges that are theirs for the asking.
The appeal is as follows:
"When we consider the helpless
condition or deaf children who are
without an education, growing up in
ignorance and becoming burden
I upon the community and the prey of
[ the evil and the designing, we cannot
but be impressed with the great i'm
portance Of having these deaf chill
dren in school. By giving these deaf
! people an education, we make them
/ happy, intelligent, self-supporting,
respected members of the community.
I ask you, therefore, as one interested
in the education of all children,
whether hearing or deaf, to employ
every means in your power toward
finding these children and reporting
them to me. The compulsory educa-
tion laws Of our state apply to The
| deaf as we'll as to the hearing, and
under the law the educational author
tiles of your county are required to
report these children I shall there
fore ask you that you have the local
officials seek out all deaf chidrcn
i'm your county and send Information
about them to me. They would thus
not only be complying with the re
quirements Of the law but furtherine
the interests of an afflicted class Of
people. I am DESTROYS of having every
deaf child Of school age in Nortl
Dakota entered here next term. Will
you not give me all the assistance 20,
cant Do it now.'

formal discussion Of his case which took
Mace Several protests have been filed

that he has been a republican.

nointment of a commission to look into
the slums and housing conditions of the
moor in the capital. AS no quorum ma
terialized nothing was done with this
matter.

1t therefore contends that 1t should
be allowed to continue the delivery
service in that city without extra

ington. This free-delivery service has
been given at Baltimore for some
thirty years. There are suggestions In
the record that 1t has been Instituted
and maintained as means of competl-
ton against the boat lines trading
from Boston. New York and Phlla-
delphia. There is no suggestion that
any attempt has been made to make
freight deliveries at the station in the
manner customary to American rail-
roads, nor is there any adequate show
ing that such attempt would. under
proper warehOusing rules. result in any
congestions which are not now caused

saws the opinion in concluding, has been
given in the past upon wider range OF
articles than in Baltimore. The service
in Baltimore is not extended to articles
in the fourth class. AS to such articles
therefore, the withdrawal of the delivery
service at Washington without extra
charge is fully justified as operating tc
remove a discrimination. 1t is the view
of the commission however. that the
withdrawal of this service at Washington
upon articles in the first three classes
moving from New England New York
and Philadelphia so long as it is rendered
to articles in the same classes moving
from the same points to Baltimore would
cause an undue discrimination
