AND ANSWERING QUESTIONS
ABOUT THINGS LOCALLY
The unusual feature Of the Citizens
Institute that is scheduled for Will
liston March 18th and 18th is that it
Is largely time for the asking and
answering Of questions. The univer-
sity men who will make up the staff
Of workers are specialists in their par
ticular line. Four different periods
have been assigned on the institute
program that will be given over to
free and open discussions. Questions
Of public health, public recreation,
Assessment and taxation, school
questions and problems related to de-
velopment Of this section will be taken
up and discussed and explained. There
will be plenty of opportunity for pri-
vate conferences with President Nc
Vey and Professors Babcock, Gillette
and Ruediger, while they are in the
city. They will be here to serve and
it is the privilege of Williston's citi-
zens to use them to the fullest pos
sible extent.
The motive that prompted the Com
mercial Club in arranging for this
institute was desire to gain more
light on the questions. that are Pc
culiarly Wiliston's own problems. The
surest way to get the university men
to relate their knowledge and infor-
nation on these problems will be ply
them with questions. Question boxes
will be placed at various points in the
city and all who care to submit ques-
>tions to the University men may write
them out and deposit them in any one
of these boxes, either prior to or dur
ing the institute The key to these
boxes wifi be placed in the hands Of
Field Organizer, N. c. Abbott, who
is to have general charge of the in
stitute and he will see that the ques-
tions are property presented at the
right time during the two days, ses~
sion.
We are printing below the program
in detail. The afternoon sessions will
be held in the Star Theatre. No ad-
mission fee Of any kind will be charged
1t is hoped that large number of
the farmers who are in town every
day no business will take in these af-
ternoon sessions. The evening gath
eerings will be held in the Library Au-
ditoriums Institute Question Boxes
have been placed in the library and
the lobby of the Great Northern hotel
and any questions found in them will
be taken up and answered at the
proper time during the sessions. The
