PROF. MAX BAIT TALKS ON
SOCIAL CENTER MOVEMENT

The Social Center Movement was
the subject Of an address given by
Professor Bait Of the agricultural col
lege, Fargo, at q meeting held, last
night. in the Assembly hall of the
Moorhead high school, under the aus
pices of the Civics club. Considering
the severity of the weather the at
tendance Of parents of the school chill
dren was encouraging to the ladies
Of the club. The speaker presented
his subject in a concise and simpli-
fed, instructive n and he at
once commanded the close attention
Of his auditors who seemed to appre-
ciate hearing the history Of a move
ment on which he Is an authority n
out Of which so. much good has come
in the way Of solving problems expert
enced in the congested committees in
the metropolitan .centers and the
larger cities of this country.
During the evening music was con-
tributed by the glee club of the Moor
head high school and Miss Jean Rus
sell, violinist who was accompanied
on the piano by Miss Media Chester
man supervisor of music. Readings
were also given by Miss Nickels Of
the high school faculty who was. very
well received. After the meeting
proper refreshments were served.
amid social chatting. So many TX
p~ressions of appreciation were made
to Mrs. William Russell, president of
the Civics club, that she announced
other meetings Of a similar char
acter would be held at convenient
periods. In all the meeting last
night was entertaining and instruc-
tive along the lines desired.

Again the Yellow Peril.

st. Louis Times: Clearly the yellow
peril has been written into our affairs
to stay; and a& we are not particular
" strong rs a nation either in piety
or wit, we appear to have a poor
chance of wiping out one line Of the
somber warnings which have been
reaching us from various sources for
a long time.
The newest statement Of the case
purporting to have come from some
individual in high official circles in
Berlin, is not widely different from
other such statements, save that 1t
adds the detail that the Japanese have
an eye or the Panama canal. There
is also a new element in the, situation,
arising from the possibility that the
United States may be forced into a
war with Mexico:a situation which,
according to the Berlin commentator,
Japan would be quick to take advan-
ftage Sof, with as little ceremony or
formality as 1T manifested in its war
with Russia.
We canont believe that the Ameri-
a Ieople are wholly fortified by that
quality which the late Gen. Homer
Lea defined as THE yalorsof ignorance

EPISCOPAL BISHOPS
The first bishops Of the protesta

The first bishops Of the Protestant
Episcopal church were William White,
for Pennsylvania, and Samuel Pro
voost, for New ork, who were con-
secrated by the archbishop Of Canter-
bury at Lambeth chapel 127 years ago
Feb. 4, 1887. The conservation was
especially authorized by the British
parliament. Samuel Seabury had
been made bishop of Connecticut q
few years before, but he received con-
secration from the Scotch bishops. Be
fore abrogating the statutory require
ment of an oath OF royal allegiance
as a prerequisite to conservation in
England, the British parliament and
the archbishop had received assurance
that the American church neither de-
sired nor intended to depart from
the church of England in any essen
tial point of doctrine, discipline or
worship, or further than local circum-
stances require" Three years after
the induction of Bishops White and
Provost, James Madison was conse-
Grated at Lambeth for Virginia, and
the Anglican line Of succession was
cananically established in the United
States.

DISCONTINUE ACADEMIC WORK
State Normal Board Orders Ban On
Academic work at WinOna and


With the end Of the present school
year will come a discontinuance of
academic courses in the state normal
schools at Mankato and Winona.
Action as to the other schools at st.
Cloud, Moorhead and Duluth was not
taken. The state normal school board
meeting at st. Paul yesterday, voted to
drop the high school and preliminary
courses in Winona and Mankato on the
ground that the state is bearing the
expense of educating many pupils
which should fall on the local COM
munities.
j. L. Washburn of Duluth opposed
vigorously a resolution recommending
action a year hence as to the three
other normal schools. He argued that
a matter Of future policy should be left
to the next board, and that in the alb
sence of regular high school training
facilities the three normal schools pro-
vide the only opportunity for academic
work in the district they serve.
Figures were presented showing that
at the Winona and Mankato schools
there are respectively 10 and 80 ele-
mentary students and SO and $50 high
school course students, while the st.
Cloud school has approximately 21O,
Moorhead 3,471 and Duluth 81 academic
pupils.

in his book bearing that title. There
is, doubtless, the underlying convic-
ton that our nation is able to take
care of itself by the system Of putting
volunteer armies into h field at COM
paratively short notice, and that we
have no need to anticipate a war With
anybody, since u attitude toward
other nations is in the broadcast n
friendly.
Nevertheless, there are two tenden-
cies Of the times which r to be de-
.plored and checked; not wholly from
apprehension, out from a recognition
Of what we owe to ourselves as a civ
iliZed people.
One of these touches the matter Of
preparedness. Army and navy, experts
are practically unanimous in the belief
that in our time Of peace we have not
prepared for war. h navy is not
growing as rapidly, as the nayies OF
other nations. There Is a general re-
l%uctance to spend large sums of money
upon vessels which are continually pc
coming obsolete. Yet the truth re-
mains that preparedness Is the best
method Of preventing wars.
There is also the tendency to look
superciliously and without tolerance
upon people whose civilization is
somewhat different from our own
That the Japanese people have a gen.
Euine grievance against us is scarcely
to be denied. Ca~lifornia's special leg
|islation against these Industrious peo-
pie Is not only offensive; it is need
less.
There may be no probability OF wal
with Japan, or with any other nation;
but it is proper to recognize national
duties at all times; and two or n du-
ties which we have been neglectfng
are interest in our army and navy and
heed to the reasonable protests of a
tpeople against whom we can bring nc
proper indictment, and against whom
too many Americans frankly bear a
prejudice.

Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, Feb. 13.-Wheat closed
slightly lower than Wednesday, the
heavy snow fall west and southwest
and more moderate temperatures be-
ing the principal cause. The M dern
Miller states that present prospects
in winter wheat could be improved.
Another factor is the lack of bull
sentiment has been the failure Of
foreigners to follow our advance. The
strength in the spring wheat markets
was notable and it becomes more evil
dent daily that spring wheat market
will sell at parity or ever a premium
over, winter wheat. The future action
of the market hinges entirely on the
attitude of foreigners.
Corn: Has ruled higher than Wed
nesday's close, but has failed to show
much inherent strength. The now and
colder over the greater part Of the
belt was the principal strengthening
influence despite low temperatures
east, cash demand was little if any
better. AS an offset to this the farm
ers throughout. the country are not
selling corn at all freely and what
corn is moving is going to other mar
ketS han Chicago. West and south
west markets report q decided better
ment in demand. The one considera-
ton hat interests the trade more than
all others is the size of farm reserves
and when farmers will move The flu
ture course of the market depends on
the answer to this question and cash
demand. We would hardly care 20 ad-
vocate pressing the short side of May
corn on the decline and would prefer
sales Of deferred futures on all up
turns.
Oats: Gained a shade for the day
on a very dull market with news feat
ureless; Cash demand showed some
faint signs of Improvement and coun-
try movement was, if anything,
smaller.
