decree that these men should soon be
called upon to rally with their splen-

ALeading Educational Center
and a City Of
Prominence
Valley City:

! every county49in the state, and often
from almost every town in some coun-
ties. Other states are recognizing
the value Of this school, and its To-
cation, also, and many students from
noighbOring states enroll in the Val
ley City Normal school simply to get
the best normal school courses they
can find. "
The normal school, with its six and
seven hundred students, composed
OF teachers over the state, and pros.
peGtive teachers from everywhere
operates as a restraining influence

say-.b but n willingly made.
Start Of the Town.:
Valley City was started shortly
"tter the main line Of the Northern
Pacific entered North Dakota in 1871
It is almost the center Of Barnes
county, a county which stands today
second in the state in wheat produc'
tion. The city itself is now n OF
5000 inhabitants, and the presence OF
one of the greatest of the state nor
NAL schools makes it a center of ed
ucation. This and, the natural beauty
Of the city, situated in a valley, lend
tone to Valley City, and give it a dis
tinction which no other city of the
state car claim in the same way.

Close against the side of the ravine
the buildings Of the school are locat-
ed. each one connected with the
other. About six hundred students
attened the regular term, and the
summer school session is attended
by as many as seven hundred teach
ers of the city and state.
lts Influence Widened.
The influence Of the school mas
widened. 1t is not q local institution.
The high standards maintained in its
course of study, the excellence OF the
faculty, have given it. a reputation
in eastern states, and students from
the westernmost part of North Da-:
kota attend the school every term
in large numbers. Its extension de-
partment has also grown, as well as
the business side. With the aid Of
mechanical devices the school has
facilitated its mailing Of booklets and
pamphlets concerning the school to
those interested.
AS for the city itself, one could not
ask a better residence or business To-
cation. Being in the Sheyenne river
valley. trees grow with but little
care, and the city IS buried among
them. The city is a model Of green
lawns and pretty residences. There
seems to be no section Of the. city In
which are nothing but frame shacks.
Good Business Location.
As a business location, Valley City
is good. The main line Of the North
ern Pacific, running its swiftest trains
from Chicago to the coast. makes reg.
ular stops, and ready nail and traffic
connections a be affected with
either east or west. The junction Of
the main line of the SEQ gives Val
ley City more traffic, for passengers
wishing to take the 500 to northwest
Iern parts of the state head for Val
ley City to intercept It, The traffic
from east to west-frOm west to east
is increasing rapidly and the growth
of Valley City depends on this.
Judged by thep resent, Valley City
is some time to be a large city.
The normal school is not the only
feature which sets Valley City apart.
The flour mill of the Russell.Miler
Milling company is the oldest is the

The Northwest Nursery company Is
another institution which has had

concern deserves special mentioR, fol
they are in a large degree the agency
which has covered the lawns and hid

trees. They also handle thousands
of dollars worth Of trees every veal

The First National bank has a cap

The Churches.

abandoned later and is now serving
as a parish hall.

In 1910 he was graduated. from semi

It, History.
The history of GALLEY City is close
ly interviewer with the story of the
location of the normal school. In the
late los and early SOS, the normal
school idea had been thoroughly tried
out in eastern states and found to be
good. So when the state began to be
settled up the call came for normal
schools to prepare teachers for the
rural districts Yankton was then
the capital Of Dakota territory, ano
the territorial legislature designated
five cities to have the schools, but all
five we're in South Dakota.
This was in 1881. In 1888 talk OF
division began to be current, and
with this came a demand for normal
schools for, the northern half of the
territory. In 1890, just after the ad.
mission into the Union of North Da.
kota. leading cities Of the state be.
gan to quarrel for the state institu-
tons to be allotted. Joe S. Weiser,
senator from Barnes, proposed a bill
to establishe normals. Valley City
was named as one to have a normal
school, and the ter,n~w a opened that
fall in October in a building rented
from the city. The opening day was
attened by not more than a dozen
students and practically all were
from Valley City. J. w. Sift0n, pas.
tor of the Valley City Congregational
church, took the principalship.
School Kept Growing. .
The school continued, opening
every year in October and gaining a
little in attendance. In 1892. Mr.
Sifton resigned, and. his two assist
ants continued the work until fall
when George A. Mcfarland was call
ed to the principalship and later be
came president. Senator Joe S
Weiser, Of Valley City had in 1891 in
troduced a bill providing for $4,000
Tor the support of the school, an0
this was passed in March. A yea,
after, President Mcfarland took
charge OF the school the faculty
numbered nine, and there were three
graduates.

An Old City.
Valley City is ii of the old cities
Of the state, and is located on the
main line Of the Northern Pacific,
which entered the state in the cary
eighties. 1t lies deep down in the bot
tom o a valley, on the Cheyenne
river, and its residences are hidden
by trees. It is a clean city. also.
= cleaner could not be found any
where, and it has more than its share
Of handsome business blocks. AS the
junction point for the main lines OF
two transcontinental railways, the
500 going northwest from there, its
quota Of travellers is large, and its
freight and express business better
than it is as a usual thing.
Valley City is a city of about six
thousand population, and is only a
short distance east Of jamestown and
west of Fargo, on the trunk line OF
the Northern Pacific to the coast ano
the Twin. Cities, 1t is an important
town. and the wonderful thing--the
feature that sets Valley iCty aparI

city, and the location of so man,
