distribute wisely among our people
scientific knowledge in the principles
of economics and sociology" So said
DR.. Ross L. Finney, of the state nor
NAL school at Valley City, in an ad-
dress before the secondary education
section of the N. D. E. A., at the
Grand Forks meeting.
1T is necessary that there be
generous sprinkling among us of those
who really know" said DR.. Finney,
further. But it is also necessary that
there be many students in every COM
munity who are sufficiently we'll in
formed in these lines to move senti-
ment in the communities in which
they live, so that scientific principles,
rather than partisan superstition may
be woven into the fabric of public
opinion.
"The public high school is the in
stitution, and the only institution that
we can look to for the successful per-
Torrance of this task. Only system
attic instruction of our youth in social
science during the course of their high
school career can infuse knowledge
and feeling necessary to solve the
problems of the time.
''The high school does not under
stand its own vocation. 1t hesitates
confusedly between the cultural aim
of it's education and the industrial
aim. It is blind to the fact that the
aim for which the god of democracy
has called it into being, is the social.
izing aim. IL
Social science ought to be the core
of the high school curriculum. Prac-
tically every student should at least
get three years of it. And, let us say
frankly, that the other subjects ought
to give way to make at least that
much room for it. What an absurdi-
ty, in this. year of our Lord, 1915, to
be spending valuable time of our high
school adolescence on quartratic equa-
tions and the third declension, when
they will be called upon in less than
ten years to vote upon the tariff
question, immigration, the single tax,
and other pressing problems that
democracy must solve on pain of
death. And it might be added in con.
clusion that such revolution in the
high school curriculum would I'M
doubtedly solve many of the problems

THE NEW TRAPPING LAW

Chief Game Warden McCutcheOn
sends out the following notice relative
to the new trapping law, which will
be in force after Nov. 16.
Under the trapping law which goes
into force, special trapping licenses
are required, and the regular hunting
license is not good for trapping. Coun'
ty auditors sell trapping licenses, and
all who trap must purchase trapping
license, except boys under Is, or par
ties trapping on land upon which they

Colds, Bronchial Asthma, Bronchitis.
Group, Whooping Cough and Hoarse-
ness.
This new remedy is altogether diff
ferent from any other kind, and is SO
strongly concentrated that two ounces
(50c WORTHY, make a full pint, 12S
teaspoonsful of excellent cough medi-
cine, by simply mixing it at home with
one pint Of granulated sugar and one
half pint of water. 1t makes a whole
family supply, while bottles of the
old.fashioned, ordinary, ready-made
kinds, of doubtful merit and without q
guarantee usually only hold 20 to -
teaspoonfuls. 1t is prepared from
strictly harmless plants and Is SO
pleasant that children like to take it
and it can be given them with perfect
safety as it positively contains no
chloroform, opium, morphine or other
narcotics, as do most cough mixtures.

TRAIN CREW RESCUED
COUPLE FROM WRECK

Aneta, N. D., Nov. S.-When the
train crew of freight saw an over
turned automobile on the road near
the tracks, they became curious. Co
ing to the wrecked car they found Mr..
and Mrs. H. l. Ulvick of Aneta pinned
down. Only the fact that the top was
up saved the two from being crushed
to death as the stays partly supported
the weight of the machine, although
both were pinned so tightly they could
not move.

Miss Hulda Winsted, a graduate of the
Valley City school, former instructor
there, and now member Of the fac
ulty at the Minot normal school, spoke
on the magnitude Of the Valley City
alumni association and described it as
now being an international organiza.
ton because several of it's members
were teaching in the schools of for
eign countries.

Miss Martha Dewey, instructor in

faculty, with a humorous dialect story
that quite delighted the audience.
President Mcfarland told of the
several local alumni clubs that were
being organized in various parts of
the state and urged that the alumni in
other sections organize also. In his
address President Mcfarland thanked
the local club and committee for its
efforts in making last evenings meet

One of the most dangerous things to
neglect Is a Cold or Severe Cough. If
treatment is commenced promptly
with the proper remedy, both are cas-
lily cured, but if neglected they oft.
times develop into Pneumonia or Con.

affection. Most persons neglect treat

son that they either don't think it
serious enough to 60 to doctor,
thinking it will get we'll itself without

cal conditions and their influence on

not seen except through graphic pre-
sentation.
Prof. switzer dealt with the topics
Of air, water and land, from first
hand knowledge gained in an actual
study of North Dakota. Nothing, the
speaker said, is SO important to the
student as field work with problems
that he must face, without -the con-
illusions already drawn for him in the
text books and relieving him from
thought He is led to see the Sc
quence Of events and that nothing
'.just happens.
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1915-11-11

ing models, up and down the streets
Of our Cities" said Miss Farnsworth,
explaining that her topic had found
it's place on an educational program
because the school has taken over SO
many duties of the home and now af-
fords a better place to teach right
principles Of dress.
Many features of our present day
fashions are to be commended .s and
yet we can already see that many of
the best ones are on the wane. Our
clothes must not only be artistic but
they must be comfortable. The free
dom about the throat is both CON-
Portable and hygienic as compared to
the high collars of few years ago.
Yet the extreme either way should
be discouraged.
"The board of education at Water
town, s. D., has taken a stand in this
matter Of dress that is attracting con-
siderable attention. At a recent meet
ing a resolution was passed which for
the present year is in the nature of q
request, but which becomes compuls-
DRY on September /, 1916, governing
the mode of dress of boys and girls
in the seventh and eighth grades and
high school Of that city. It provides
that silks and satines and frills in gen
eral be discarded, and that instead
dresses of cotton and wool Of the
MILDLY blouse style be worn, to be
reasonably high in the neck and to
cover the elbows. 1t also provides
against the boys wearing sweaters
and jerseys in the class room. 7l
This seems to be a move In the
right direction and the board of edu-
cation has done a real service, not
only to its own city but to the gem
eral cause of moral rational dress for
women.
Changes in fashions result in
enormous economic waste through
the use of perishable clothing and
through the discarding of clothing out
Of style or fashion. But the greatest
loss in dress is not the loss of money,
great as it is. It is the loss of wom-
anly dignity and stability Of charac-
ter which accompany and result from
false standards.
Let women realize their RESPONSE
bility''1n the matter Of dress and re-
member that producers will not food
the market with undesirable goods if
they refuse to buy them. There is no
reason unless it is cowardice, to pre-
vent women from adopting sensible
and yet more beautiful style of dress,
one that shall embody the right prin-
ciples of hygiene and art and be
reasonably fixed. individuality may
be shown in decoration, color combi-
nations or in the adaptation Of the gen
eral principles to the needs Of the
wearer as well as to the needs OF
