To the Honorable Board of Educa-

To the Honorable Board of Educa-
ton:
Gentlemen:
| Herewith submit my report for
the month of December;
During the month Of December
our total enrolment for the year
was 1898. The number belonging at
the end of the month was 1866; the
average daily attendance was 1444;
there were 1901 absentees, 90 cases
of tardiness; 20 cases of corporal
punishment; II cases of truancy;
also during the month there were
121 pupils who entered school for
the first time during the year.
The total enrolment of the differ
ent schools was as follows: Frank
lin, 499; Washington 392; Lincoln
333; Jefferson 329; High, 24O.
The number belonging at the end
of the month was: Franklin 42S;
Washington 357; Lincoln 2SO; Jeffer-
son 27S; High 223.
The average daily attendance of
these schools was as follows:
Franklin $50; Washington 317; Lin
coin 253; Jefferson 272; High PIG.
There were 336 cases of absence
in the Franklin; 100 in Washington
116 in Lincoln; 256 in jefferson, 1873
in High.
There were 46 cases of tardiness
in Franklin; u in Washington: 3 in
Lincoln; II in jefferson; i in High.
There were cases of corporal
in Franklin; 10 in Wash
ington; in Lincoln; il Jeffer
son.
There were > cases of truancy in
Franklin; l in Lincoln; in Jeffer-
son;
SO new pupils were enrolled in
Franklin; SO in Washington; 19 in
Loncoln; 90 in jefferson; in High.
When We consider the fact that
during the month we had the Christ
mas holidays which always causes a
large number of pupils to be absent
in order that they may work or visit,
we believe that the above report Is
very satisfactory indeed.
At the close of the work before the
holidays, appropriate exercises wered
held in every room. A Christmas
tree was provided for all of the
pupils in different grades and
large offering was made by the
school children for the poor. An
exhibit was given of the work that
had been done during the previous
three months which was by far the
best we hae ever had. One thing
that was very gratifying to me as
was the fact that a
very large number Of parents at
tended the exercises and examined

Did You ever stop 10 Think

Did You Ever Stop 20 Think?
If you read this article through
thoughtfully you will, and if you art
young you will think twice
Did you ever stop to think that
you do four things, just four and
no more? You think; you remem-
Der; you imagine; you act. When
you learn to think better, remem-
Der better imagine better or act
better, you are increasing you eff
cheney, and, therefore, you income
You may feel that you are very
successful now. Suppose you are;
it isn't a question of what you know
but of how beneficial practical
business education will be to you
in addition to what you already
know. You will agree with us that
to violate a part of the laws of
business means partial failure, and to
violate all the laws means COM
plete failure. You are also aware
that t. observe part of the laws OF
business meanG partial success, and
to observe all the laws mean com
plete success. Our aim is to help
you observe a higher per cent of
the laws of success, and. therefore,
enable you to be nearer the maxi
mum success. The late Prof. James
of Harvard declares that the aver
age man only uses ten per cent of
his brain power. Suppose you are
twice as capable as the average
man? Even that would mean you
are only twenty per cent of your
maximum possibilities. The purpose
of our course is to produce a maxi
mum of proficiency with a minimum
effort. Did you ever stop to think
that eighty-five per cent of the men
of this country are only earning Sl5
week or less? That ninety-two
per cent fail in business between
the ages of 40 and so? That ninety
five per cent have no money at the
age of sixty? We have been very
successful in getting men out of the
the ninety-two and the
five per cent class. Why
not let us help you? We have been
successful in raising sal
aries, as Is conclusively proven by
the letters in our catalog from for
mer students. The business world
wants thinkers and doers. There's
a famine of high priced men today;
there are thousands of men worth
a thousand dollars a year, but only
a few worth ten thousand a year.
Be the latter kind of a man; you
can if you will. We know that a
man is worth only about $500 a day
from the chin down, selling muscle.
but as high as a hundred thous-
and dollars a year from the chin up,
selling brains. Be a chin upper and
sell the higher type of brains; you
can't afford to be a chin downer;
there's no room for such a man in
the high salaried class. Take our
practical courses of book
keeping, shorthand, business admin
and finance and telegraphy.
Learn how to think, to remember,
to imagine and act.

PLANS FOR new
station DRAWN
Glendale Structure to be Either
of Concrete or Brick; Will
be Large and Roomy.

Ellendale, N. D., June 26.-The
plans for the new Milwaukee depot
as prepared for submitting to the rail.
road commission call for very hand
some structure,lwith possibly the only
objection its insufficient capacity to
provide for the many years which 1t
will be used for business. Being a
substantial structure, however, it can
be remodeled by adding to it or pro.
viding freight room in a separate
building and waiting rooms occupying
freight room space.
The building as planned will be
9Sx26 feet, and practically in the
same location as at present. The gen.
eral waiting room will be 24-6x26 feet,
with seats for Al persons. A passage
between the ticket Office and toilets
connects the general waiting room
and smoking room, which Is 16 feet
square and has a seating capacity OF
rs persons. This makes total seat
ing capacity of 81, which can be in.
creased to some extent by merely
adding seats, the open space being
quite large.
A hot water heating system also
adds quite materially to the waiting
room capacity, as the room taken by
stoves is saved.

COUNTY PAYS OFF
$4,000 BONDS 5
Last of Indebtedness Will Be
Taken Up in Near Future;
Much Interest Saved.

Friday afternoon, county treasurer
w. J. Prater mailed to the Chase Ma
tional bank, New York, $2O,6O0 being
principal and six months per cent
interest on the 20 year refundi1g
bonds which fall due, July 1. This
makes the last of the 6's and the
county will by this settlement alone
save $100 per month in interest.
County Condition FIourishing.
The financial condition of the
county is in excellent shape and the
retirement of these bonds will ma
terially save the taxpayers money.
In 1918 plans are being made by the
county officials to also take up the
seven $1,000 bonds, 4 1-2's which are
outstanding and thus save another
heavy interest draft each year. This
makes the only outstanding indebt-
edness of the county. When it is
removed the county will soon be one
of only a few on cash basis.

Mrs. E. C. D. Sortridge and Orville
Duell, son of Judge and Mrs. d. G.
Dcell. took place Thursday at five
o'clock at the Presbyterian church.
1t was one of the largest and post
elegant church weddings ever given
in the city and handsomely appoint
ed in every detail. Flowers were
used in abundance and palmes, ferns,
peonies, lilacs, carnations and lilies
converted the church iltO fragrant
bower of beauty. As Miss Ellen
Chamberlain played Mendelosshon's
wedding march the bridal party en-
tered the church through a carpeted
isle marked with white ribbon and

tered first, then came the groom a1d

Chicago, June 26.-The reports and

THEN--.AND---NOW

| Today airships constitute one ol
the most important factors in mod
ern warfare. All the great world
powers have equipped their armies
with fleets of aeroplanes and dirig
ible balloons, and scientists are bend
ing every energy toward inventine
explosives and perfecting means OF
hurling them with greater accuracy
Some authorities even predict the
next great war will be fought in the
clouds by squadrons of airships. To-
day American aviators are scouting
over the Mexican lines around Vera
Cruz, and are demonstrating their
marvellous utinty. Equipped with
the latest devices the ultra-moder1
army scout can fly over the enemy's
country, sketch or photograph the
topography of the land below, the
forts, cities and troop positions. BY
wireless telegraph he can send back
the information to his headquarters
miles away. With the modern rapid
fire gun he can defend himself with
a stream OF bullets. Or he can drop
high explosive bombs from his lofty
craft, scattering death wherever 1t
| It strikes. One year ago 1t was re.
ported Mexican rebel aeronaut
dropped a bomb that killed 50 sold
iers instantly. If it is night, the
aeronaut can drop star bomb that
explodes and shades lasting and
radiant light on the spot he is how
|ering over. To escape from the new
aerial guns designed to fight air
ships, the modern aeronaut can drop
the new German bomb that spreads
a dense, heavy pail of smoke be-
tween earth and airship and thus
permit the aviator to escape. Or he
can drop another kind which gives
off a poisonous gas capable of kill
ing every liveing thing within 100
yards.

The last twenty-fOur hours have

have been made in the names on the

out in the third district and there is
now every reason to believe Norton

Hanna Still Leads.
There is 1Ow little doubt that
Hanna has been re-nominated for the

hours in this city last evening. Thou

done and many hundreds of dollars

Was Of Sudden Origin. 81
About o'clock, as the people were
just getting ready to leave their
places of business, tremendous clap
of thunder startled everyone and Inn
mediately afterward the rain began
to descend in torrents. The made
quate sewer system proved OF no value
at this time and soon the water was
backing up into Easements and the
streets.
Numerous Washouts.
As the storm increased in fury, the
people energetically labored with ev-
cry conceivable kind of bucket to bail
the water out of the fast filling base
ments. Streets became impossible
and here and there great sections
of earth were washed out and In q
great many cases the silt was deposit
ed upon the sidewalks and In the low
er parts of the buildings. AT the First
National bank, the water 90 washed
the earth next the curb that the CO.

had to be filled with sandbags to pre-
vent the cement walk from falling In.

When the sewers became choked
with the debris, the firemen were
called into service, to help flush out
and clean drift away from the intakes
of the sewers. The damage done to
the city can only be estimated yet

One hundred aad twenty years ago
today the balloon made its first sue
cessful appearance as an engine Of
war. It was at the battle of Fleurus
during the French Revolution. It
was this balloon that enabled the
revolutio1ists to win the battle and
subsequently establish the French
Republic. At sunrise of this day the
huge silken bag inflated with rydr0.
gen, was, tugging at its anchor ropes
in the French Republican camp.
The opening of the battle was q
signal for General Morlot to climb
into the basket. The soldiers slowly
let out the cable until the balloon
and aeronaut rose high above the
battlefield. Beneath him lay the
eaemy's lines in full view. While
the balloon gently eddied in the
breeze, Morlot drew a sketch of the
enemy's strategic position and then
tossed 1t overheard in heavy flag
bedecked package. Thus every move
of the foe was reported to the com
mander-in.chief on the ground below
during the ten hours in which the
balloon remained aloft The com
maader's questions, written out and
attached to a cord that hung from
the balloon, were hauled up by the
aeronaut and quickly answered. The
ida of using balloon in warfare had
been conceived, but not used, twelve
years before, at the seige Of Gibralt.
ar. At that time Joseph Montgolf-
Ter, who later made the worlds first
successful passenger-carrying bal
loon, proposed s'to introduce into
Gibraltar an entire army, which,
borne by the wind and gas, will en-
ter right above the heads Of the en-.
emy." But the siege was raised be-
fore his idea could be demonstrated.
