WOMAN BRINGING
SUIT FUR DAMAGES

Minot, N. D., July faction will be
started here against the Construction
Power Co. to recover the sum of $780,
900 damages for Mrs. Fred Reid Of
Minneapolis who was nearly shock
ed to death while in a bathroom at the
Waverly hotel.
The grounds on which the case will
be based is the fact that the power
company was sending too heavy a
current at the time she tried to turn
on the light. The regular current was
40 volts but at that time it is said
the wires were carrying 800 or 900
volts and she received injuries from
burns which will take her a long time
to overcome.

new kind OF public school. 1t is known
as the School Of Organic Education.
During this, its sixth year. it numbers
150 pupils, two-thirds of the entire
school population. Upon first inspec-
ton the school is mainly remarkable
for getting along without certain
things which schools generally deem
indispensable. During the first six
years there are no promotions, no
grades, no examinations, no marks
either for conduct or for lessons, no
home work and no requirements of
any kind.
THE principal, founder and moving
spirit of the school is Mrs. Marietta l..
Johnson. Mrs. Johnson explains the
singular programme, or lack of pro-
gramme, by stating that she lis grow
ing boys and girls as a farmer grows
corn. A farmer collects all the avail
able lore concerning c~orn-growing, and
supplies what he believes to be the
best conditions for growth. If the corn
does not grow he does not blame ii,
nor scold At. nor give it a bad mark,
nor call IT stupid, but hastens to
change conditions until his corr re-
spends"
