The BRICK AND TILE PLANT.

Preparations for resuming work Of
the Valley City Brick and Tile plant
is under way. S. X. Ramsett Of Fin
gal who is one of the heavy stock
holders is now in the east having
some tests made with the clay, in or
der that there may be no misunder'
standing as to the possibilities with
the material. This is going to be big
institution for Valley City when fin
ally in operation and should meet with
encouragement from every, one. Should
this plant be completed and the brick
prove of a good quality it will mean
not only this factory but several 9th
ers will locate here within a few years
as the supply for building material
far exceeds the demand.

that extent he is deprived of the In
valuable experience of being compel
ed to think.
while thinking rests upon informa
tion, the proportion of information tc
thinking Is a vital pont. The educa
tional world is emphazing informa
tion as never before. This emphasis
appears in attention paid to the kinds
Of knowledge regarded as most useful
and in fullness of data and details in
bulky departmental courses and swol'
len syllabi 1t is even not yet crime
for a writer to take more pages than
his contribution actually demands.
Whole volumes appear devoted to the
expansion of a single proposition
which an intelligent reader could
grasp in a few moments. Over-elab-
Grafton of details leaves little need to
fill in outlines and tax ones own in
ventiveness. An excessive amount of
reference-reading and the lecture sys-
TN alike emphasize mass of material
at the possible expense of thought ac-
tivity.
Society has right to look to edu-
cation to maintain standards Of rea-
soning. If it fails here there is moth
ing in education to guarantee that
along with the diffusion of useful data
there will not ensue dearth Of inven.
tiveness and a decline Of civilization.
Assuming the decentralization in
fluences Of centralized industry, and
cognizant of the distrust Of popular
ability to assume the duties logically
devolving upon democratic citizenship,
one realizes the importance Of the
question Of the sufficiency Of education
to provide effective demands upon the
higher mental powers. If our complex
life is actually an increasing simple
and unexacting life for the individual,
and if living to become steadily eas.
ier, the importance Of assuring every
Individual insistent problems is not to
be underrated.
RAILROAD tickets are delivered at
the door, and the exigencies Of travel
quite forestalled. Every care and
worry are taken over by agents and
a consideration. Strug-
gle and confusion, judgment and en-.
forced experimentation are ruled out
by overprosperous parents and cod
ding functionaries. It was never
more easy for simpleton to live. But
let US not forget that an easy environ
ment, with few conditions Of surprise,
throws the individual down to the low
or reactions and swings the beam to-
ward devolution and degeneracy."

NOT 4 SMUT MILL.

Under the above head the Fargo
Courier News handles the popular
clamor for details Of smutty scanda
in a forceful manner as follows:
No, the Courier-News has no room
for the details or the discussion OF
smutty trials in court. Enough nasti
ness can be peddled about in the street
and retailed by men about town with
out carting it into the homes In the
daily newspapers. II people prefer
that kind of reading they will be
Obliged to get it elsewhere than In
these columns.
Nothing good can result from the
minds dwelling upon the sordid de-
tails of licentiousness, nor upon filthy
tales of any kind. One can but feel
sorry for the individual, male or fe-
male, who Graves to feast on moral
carrion. 1t is said that this is life.
Doubted. 1t is more like death.
Sometimes the daily press must re-
cord these things to give the news, but
there is no excuse for wallowing In
filth and smearing the rotten details
of repulsive garbage over the inner
life of any individual. Once grasped
by the imagination, it can never be
dispossessed. and what good comes OF
it?
The meanest moral criminal on
earth is the purveyor Of obscene pic
lures or literature Of any kind. There
is altogether too much playing up OF
sex problems and too much neurotls
stuff floating about in public print IN
these days anyway.

"RUNNlNG A BILL"

Buying goods and having them
charged has become a habit, more
particularly in the west where in years
past everything was sold in the fall,
and with the change in condition 1t
will be hard to break away from the
habit. 1t does not pay and Is an ex.
pensive way of buying supplies. The
Youths Companion sums up the mat
ter as follows.
It seems economical, but really It is
not. You feel that because you are
not parting with cash at the moment,
you are temporarily saving money;
and you are usually sure that when
the bill comes in, you will be better
off financially than you are at the
moment. OF course this idea is delu-
sive; you find on the first of the next
month that the bills are larger and
the accumulated fund less than you
had expected.
Running bill is subtly demoraliz-
ing. When you opeA a new account,
you are scrupulous to pay the bill very
soon after it is rendered; you wish to
impress your creditor with the fact
that you are an uncommonly desirable
patron. And awhile you feel that he
has learned this fact, and you let him
wait for his check while you impress
a new set of creditors with your pune
tuality and solvency. So you keep
putting of and putting of the credi-
tors who are "old friends" until final
ly it becomes q scramble to prevent
their sending in an account headed by
that discouraging item, "Bill Render
3D." When you sing into the bill
rendered" class, you have entered the
second stage Of Indebtedness. The
third is marked by the receipt of dun
ming letters, the fourth by personal
visits from collectors, the fifth by
menacing communications from law
yers.
It is difficult for men and women
who have the habit of "charging'
everything to put aside money for in
vestment They have adopted a cost
ly way of living. The ability to pur-
chase what you will, although your
pockets are empty, is an expensive
luxury. The shops that permit charge
accounts usually means that ask high
prices; charge account usually
means that you pay from five to ten
per cent more for a thing than its
cash value.
II you adopt the pay.as-you-go
principle, you will considerably reduce
your own high cost Of living.

were of no moment to the people of
Fargo or of the state and that the
people of Fargo are in no manner to
blame for the riot precipitated on the
night Of Jan. %.
The whole thing is matter which
does not seem to reflect any discredit
on Fargo or her splendid citizens and
farmers should be slow to be led into
hasty conclusions regarding where the
blame belongs, if anywhere.

The greatest endorsement Of the Ma
tional Congress Of Mothers as an edu-
cational body has come through the
recognition given bp P. P. Claxton U.
s. commissioner of education who has
established the Home Education Di-
vision of the Bureau Of Education and
appointed Mrs. Fredric Schoff. presi-
dent of the National Congress of
Mothers as director of this division.
1t is the crowning triumph Of the
National Congress of Mothers that 1t
has succeeded in having the Bureau
of Education recognize that to help
parents is as important as to help
teachers, for parents even more than
teachers are moulding the life and
character of the children, and even
more than teachers do they need help
in doing it.
Not in years could the congress do
what has been made possible by this
act of the Bureau Of Education.

thousands OF women throughout the
United States from the Bureau Of Edu.
cation.
"The Home Education division,
which has just been established. will
do whatever it can to help parents:
1. To further their own education
by recommending to them interesting
and valuable reading matter.
2. In regard to the care and home
education Of their children. with re-
ference to: (a) Physical care and
health, sleep, food, etc. (b) games and
plays. (c) their early mental develop
ment. (d) the formation Of moral ha
bits.
We hope to interest the boys and
gil)s who have left school and are still
at home, and by directing their home
reading and study We may be able to
further their education.
It is our intention to issue bulletins
and literature, practical in their char
acter, which will be available to every
home. The National Congress o1
Mothers and Parent Teachers Associa

Of Education in this work and can sup
