Washington Asylum Hospital.

The board called attention to the over
crowded condition Of the Washington
Asylum Hospital and urged the need OF
additional buildings on the municipal hos
pital site. at 14th and Upshur streets. 1t
has been found that many decent poor
people who need hospital care will not
go to the Washington Asylum Hospital
because of its intimate association with
the Jail. 1t is pointed out that the build
ings occupied by the hospital at present
are old and worthless. and. as the Dis
trict owns an admirable hospital site.
it is urged that the new Buildings should
be erected thereon.

GERS for the board of children's guardians
We're recommended. The Importance of
the establishment of a new institution for
feebleminded children was emphasized.
and the passage of the act that has al
ready passed the Senate is recommended.
Attention was called to the increasing
burden of the cost of caring for the in
digent insane. The annual per capita cost
for care has been increased within the
past year from 500 to $40. A large saw
ing has been accomplished by the inves-
legations of the agents of the board of
charities, which have resulted in Sc
curing payments in the cases of per-
sons found to have estates or responsible
to relatives able to pay for their care. and
by the deportation to their homes OF
places of legal abode of nonresident pa

TO PLACE fund
OUT AT INTEREST
University Seniors Adopt
Novel Method of Increas-
ing Their Gift.

Instead Of presenting the University
OF North Dakota with a memorial this
year the graduates Of 1913 have de-.
cided to place all the class money in
the care of the university to be used
as a student loan fund for the next ten
years. Students who wish to make
small loans will be able to do SO by
applying to the university authorities.
The class has succeeded in collecting
a little over $500 from the annual
play and other sources. Inside Of ten
years the interest and the principle
will amount to a considerable sum and
at the end Of that time the money
will be used to help buy the gate for
the entrance of the university campus.
If the gate Is bought in any other way
the money will be left as a student
loan fund forever. Three members of
the class have been appointed as life
trustees to look after the money. John
Graham is chairman of the board and
Philip r. Bangs and William c. Bacon
are the other two members.

Vegetable Gardening.
One of the features of the work this
spring, and which Is still going on, is
the vegetable gardening course for
eighth grade students. One of the es-
sentials is a home garden for each
pupil. In the garden, which must be
at least 10 feet by 20 feet, are planted
not more than eight kinds of g
tables. and the work of caring for the
garden must be done by the individ.
ual pupil.
Another important feature Of Mr..
Hayes work has been the seed testing
for farmers.

tions last fall" the report says much
attention has been drawn by the de-

DEMS TO CARRY
THEIR PROGRAM
Republicans Have Little
Chance to Head Off the
Majority, Says Norton.
GRESSM
IN THE CITY
Wilson Gives Little Concern
to Comment at His
Actions.

That the democrats are determined
to carry through their administration
program, regardless of the republi-
cans, is the statement of Congressman
r. d. Norton, who is spending the day
In Grand Forks. Mr.. Norton came
here from Hettinger. n. D., where he
has spent the past two weeks at his
nome. He is in this city to attend the
annual university commencement ex-
ercises.
The democrats have a strong ad.
m~inistration program outlined" he
said today, "and they r determined
to shove it through. regardless Of
what the republicans want or attempt.
This is evidenced by the action on
the tariff bill. Look how it went
through the house, and witness how
determined President Wilson and his
floor leaders are regarding the meas
ure In the senate. It will go through,
/ think. just as the democrats want 1t,
although there promises to be a warm
fight in the senate.
The smashing Of executive preced-
ents, which has been n of the inter-
esting things in Washington since
March 4. has caused varied comment.
Some of the solons view 1t with favor,
while others are inclined to take the
opposite view. But President Wilson
cares very little for the comment on
his actions, and doubtless he will con-
tinue to smash precedent"
