School CHANGES
ARE OUTLINED

GRAND FORKS, y. d., May 80
Several changes in the high school
manual as adopted by the state high
school board were outlined to the
members OF the high school confer
ence by Inspector r. Hayward. The
conference was called to order by
president McVey at 230 and Mr..
Hayward was called upon for an adj
dress.
Several changes in the course were
discussed. One of those was the ad-
list of constants. The list now in
cludes three years of English, one
year Of United States history and
science.
In the past all first-class high
schools have been required to offer
courses Of manual training, domestic
science and art. Beginning next year,
all second.class high schools will be
subject to a similar requirement.
S,ricter, requirement for the num-
Der Of assistants in the high school
we're also made. Hereafter there
must be three assistants in first-class
high schools, two in second-class high
schools and one in the thirl-class
high schools. In the past, the require
ments have been the same with the
exception OF the fact that some of the
teachers were allowed to assist in the
grade work.
Inspector Hayward emphasized the
importance of better methods OF in
struction. He said that in the past a
great deal of attention had been Civ
J en- to the question what to teach. He
believed that in the future it would be
well to give more attention to how to
teach.
President McVey then submitted
the report Of :he "tate examining
board: He said that in the past some
superintendent and principals had
treated those examinations in such Il
way as TO make them Of no value. He
urged all to cooperate to make these
good standard. Similar views yer
expressed by the other members of
the conference.
1t was agreed that time should be
an element in giving credit. The time
generally favored was As of 4 SEM
ester to secur half a unit and As Of
a year for a full unit.
Superintendent =. c. Root of Bis
marck, made the report of the COM
mittee on physiology, Chairman Steb.
bins being absent. The report was or
dered printed and distributed.
There was some discussion of the
ACCESSIBILITY Of giving a half unit cred
it for a course in current events. This
lead to a discussion of giving il unit
credit for a course to be known as
English 3 which would include work
in exposition, augmentation, study of
the classics and current history This
would take the place Of American
literature which would be combined
with English literature.

GL.ENDIVE, Mont, May l9.-Therc
will be no new county of Fall0n, not
Tor the present at least, for as the
result of consideration by the board
of commissioners of Custer county
the petition that the proposition be
submitted to "A special election was
turned down on the ground ,nat tle
territory included within the propos'
ed limits lacked about $4,000 Of the
required valuation.
A thorough investigation of the
matters pertaining to the taxable
wealth of the would.be county showed
that while the grand total was $1,000.
GEO, petitions for the exclusion of GER
tain sections representing a Valua.
tlon of S2,03l $50, were on file and

the sun remaining was $2,924,lo9 and
under the state law the initial valu.
alton Of any new county, formed by
vote Of the people, must be not less
than So, 900, 900.
In its review of the proceedings OF
the commissioners the Miles City Star
says among other things:
The board found that the lines Of
the proposed county did not come
within IS miles of the county seat OF
Custer county; that it left a proper
ty valuation of over $o,OOO,OOO with.
in the parent county and that it also
did not reduce the area of the parent
county to less than 100000 square
miles.
"Petition known as No. 4, asking
for the exclusion of what was termed
'Munroe' county, consisting of three
townships south of Ismay, was taken
up and it was found the valuation
1920. BY testimony it was
shown that there were Is qualified
electors within the territory Of Mum
roe county and that only 6, or less
than a majority, had signed the petit
tion for exclusion. The petition was
therefore denied.
THE petition for the exclusion Of
territory in the vicinity of WlbauX
was next taken up. 1t was found the
petitioners represented a property
valuation of $1,537,522. The number
OF qualified electors found in the ter
ritory was 440, of whom 250 signed
the petition for exclusion, and this
being more than a majority and the
territory being found contiguous to
the old county, the petition was grant
ed.
1.-The petition for exclusion from Is
may, known as petition No. 3, was
next taken up. The assessed valua.
ton of property represented by peti-
lions was found to be $493,528. The
number of qualified electors in the
territory represented vas found to be
lGl, and the number Of those who
signed the petition 81, which was
more than Il majority, and this peti-
ton for exclusion was also allowed,
and the valuation of property repre-
scented IN the two petitions for eXclu'
sion which were allowed was found
sufficient to reduce the valuation OF
the proposed new county below the
$4,000, 900 limit required by law for
the formation of a new county.
Several petitions both for eXclu-
sion and for withdrawal from these
and other petitions were presented

SUGAR BETS MAKE
GREAT STOCK FOOD

GLENDIVE, Mont, May 19.-The
wisdom of the farmer near Fallon ir
deciding to plant sugar beets to be
used for feeding livestock is apparent
to those who are acquainted with the
growing of that valuable farm prod
uct, and who have had experience
in the use of it in fattening cattle,
sheep and hogs.
Further west in the Yellowstone
valley where sugar beets are cultivat'
ed for both delivery at the sugar FAC
tory and also for feeding operations,
1t has been demonstrated beyond
question that no product of Montana
when it is used in connection with
alfalfa, or some other forage.
1t has been found that excellent
success follows the planting of beets
even upon the dry, or non.irrigated
lands and although the tonnage per
acre is naturally not quite so great,
the beets are of fair size, good quail.

for stock food.
An idea of their worth in this con.
nection is given in the fact that steers
fattened last winter on a ration of
sugar beets and ground alfalfa, top.

hogs fed on sugar beets and wheat
brought higher figures than those. fat:

Even though the success of beet
culture in this section of Montana
may not be Of the sort that would
justify the establishment of a factory
for the manufacture of sugar, there
is virtually no doubt that the crop
may be cultivated most proftably if
the product is used for stock feeding
alone.

nevertheless, refuse to accept it be-
cause it would be tacit recognition
of the union, and the further fact that
they repel all offers of arbitration,
shows spirit utterly apart from that
of the twentieth century and more akin
to, that age when the laborer was a
mere chattel.
AS a committee of ministers of the
gospel, representing a body OF minis
ters of the gospel, we must insist that
the rights of men as men stand before
money as money, or industry as in
dustry The newer gospel which is as
old as the Hebrew prophets and was
at the very heart of the salvation that
Jesus Christ came to bring, demands
that man and not mammon be of su-
preme Importance. 1t is imperative
that both employer and employe shall
enshrine this principle in their hearts
else society shall perish from the face
of the earth.

seeking for in that place, but that the
small mountain mills paid but half
cent more, which was the demand of
the union here, but in some cases sew
eral cents more. We heard that in
Everett, a city of some considerable
size, the union scale was paid even
though the overhead expense was
somewhat similar to that of the mills
in Ballard.
From the foregoing, several facts
stand out clearly:
First. The mill owners are Or
ganized and by the power of their or
ganization they are endeavoring to de-
feat the organization of the workers.
This is clearly hi conflict with the de-
cision of the Federated Council of the
Churches of Christ in America, which
comedies the right of both employer
and employe to organize.
Second. The strikers evidently are
acting within their rights and are not
guilty of any violence whatever.
Third, AS far as we could learn it
would seem to be utterly unnecessary
for the sheriff of King County to send
in deputies to keep the peace over the
protest of the police department of the
City of Seattle, when by competent
testimony nothing has happened to
warrant such an act.
Fourth. In one mill at least, boys
under school age are employed in
place of the strikers, in cool disregard
of the law.
Fifth The furnishing of beer to the
operatives and allowing them to smoke
while at work, as is actually being
done in one mill, indicates the straits
to which some employers are driven
to accomplish their ends
Sixth. The placing of green hands
in charge of dangerous machines,
which we are creditably informed, has
been and is now being done, is another
indication on the part of some mill
owners, of an utter lack of conscience
as to the value of human life COM
pared with dividends.
Seventh. The fact that all the mills
in the state, with the exception of a
few isolated ones in the mountains,
which pay much larger wage, are
paying the union scale, would seem to
indicate that it would be no more
on the part of the mill own
ers of Ballard to pay this scale, than
in other cities of Washington.
Eighth, The fact that the Ballard
mills have higher overhead expense
because of their location in large
city as compared with the small noun
tain mills, would also suggest that the
operatives in the same would also have
4 correspondingly higher overhead eX-
pense in their personal and domestic
financial budget
Ninth. For a mill owner to say that
he allows no outside to dictate to him
n regard to the conduct of his busi-
less, is to confess either utter ignor-
lnce of the fundamental structure Of
society, since his business is a success
,nly as society furnishes him the in
lividual elements to make it so, or a
brutal determination to stand by the
of might makes right"
Tenth The fact that the employers
acknowledge that the adop-
ion of the union scale of wages would
lot be a grave hardship, indeed, in
some cases it would be but drop, but,

said that the owners of the mill he
superintended would close down abso-
lutely before they would allow any out
side dictation to them as to the con-
duct of their business, and that ac-
cepting the union scale of wages would
be a tacit recognition of the union and
an acknowledgment of it's rights to
dictate,
The manager of the Campbell mill
received the committee very kindly
and asked us to take note of what he
said: That the mill was running
practically full time and that he was
paying more for some work than the
union demanded. He mentioned one
block sawyer, whom he was paying
five cents per thousand when the
union scale stipulated four and a half
cents, and four knot sawyers, whom he
was paying twelve cents per thousand,
while the union asked for but eleven
and half cents. The other men, too,
he thought, when everything was
taken into consideration, had nothing
to strike for. Indeed, it seemed in
comprehensive to him that these high
paid men should walk out with those
who received less, when they had
nothing to ask for for themselves. Fol
lowing this, the manager took us into
the mill and as we went, we met a
man who seemed to be watching
things in general and we found out
afterward that he was a deputy sheriff.
The manager seemed anxious to show
us everything. In the mill the COM
mittee saw several boys at work who
were under school age, one of whom
gave his age as twelve, and the man.
ager said that there was another about
somewhere at work who was about the
same age, We saw another person
