February 4th for two days ses-
sion with one hundred and twenty
two teachers present.

the usual neglected points in the
teachers monthly report as we'll
as the purpose of the weekly re-
port. The teachers voted unani-
mously in favor of the weekly re-
port.

discussed The Waste of Time
from the standpoint of the teacher
as we'll as the pupil in the public
schools.

the Ashland High School. deliv-
cred an excellent address on The
Soul of a People"
Mr.. L. N. Bush, Principal of
the Campti High School, led in

OF the questions that might have
been asked, and supplied a funny
joke to illustrate most of them.

speaker was MIR. G. A. Ives, State
High School Inspector. He i'm
pressed us with his ideas of teach
ing spelling in the schools as well
as the care of school property.
Mr.. i. w. Bateman of the Nor.

teacher is to know the community
in which he is teaching.
Mr.. I. l.. Story, Principal of
the Marthaville High School led
an interesting discussion of School
Problems.
Miss Bessie Russell of the Nor
NAL School gave a model recita-

spacious dining hall at the Normal
School
Messrs, Stopher and Harvey of
the music department entertained
at intervals during the two days
with excellent music.
At the close of the program the

DIRECTIONS AND EXPLAIN
ATOMS: ID Give the test March
26, 1915 Tor earlier if the school
will close before that date). %
The test is to be WRITTEN, and
the teacher should see that there
is no COPYING or TELLING.
| (3) The words in the list should be
used as spelling lessons and drills,
up to the hour of the test until
the children are able to spell and
use them correctly. IA When the
test is finished, the teacher should
collect all the papers, grade them
and make his or her report to the
parish superintendent, ~ The
names of all children making so
per cent or more should be sent to
the superintendent, placing the
per cent, earned opposite the name
of each child and keeping the
groups separate. (6) Arrive at
the per cent, made by each child

The following committee of five ap-

The committee is as follows:

those who have so literally contdibut.
ed to the building Of this bridge, VII
have assurance that the workmanship
will be of the highest and the work
safely guarded, and that nothing will
be spared to make this part Of the
highway one of the finest structures
in the Northwest.
The building Of this bridge is a
state enterprise, though undertaken
by a non-money making corporation
The National Parks Transcontinenta,
Highway was organized for the up
building Of the state of North Dakota
There is no profit to a single soul out
side the builder Of the bridge and the
benefit it will be to the cities and
towns through which the highway is
marked, and Of which the bridge al
Medora is the climax.
This crossing has been a bug-beal
to every commercial traveller since
statehood, and pleasure seekers with
others travelling east and west have
fought shy of this section because OF
this crossing, but when this connect
ing link is completed, the automobile
will find a large place with the mar
on the road and the tourist, making
the highway a permanent factor in
travel unequalled by any road on the
continent.

HOW We WON OUT
We Saw the Prize and Grabbed It.

Everybody in town knows that we
are first IN getting the best Of every
thing. Last week we received a let
ter from Professor Munyon, showing
US a plan whereby he could rush his
homeopathic remedies direct from
his laboratory into our store without
losing any Of their curative proper
ties. We saw the Importance Of this
offer and Immediately sent in our Or
der, for a full line of his remedies.
We want to say that we received a
letter from Professor Munyon stating
that If anyone bought the remedies
and they were not perfectly satisfied
with results, we were to return the
money. He says, 81 want you to spe-
cially push the Rheumatism Remedy
in order that people may know. Find
the hardest cases in town, those that
doctors have failed to cure, and get
them to buy a Csc bottle, and If it
doesn't relieve stiff and sore joints,
pain in the back, side, or in any part
been used, give the people back their
money This certainly must inspire
confidence, as everybody knows that
Munyon's homeopathic Remedies
are absolutely harmless and millions
of bottles are sold every year.
He also has sent us a few hundred
packages Of his Paw.Paw Laxative
Pills and wants us to give them away
absolutely free. He says these Pills
are the best stomach and liver regu-
lator that the world has ever known.
They school the bowels to act natu-
rally and take out of the system all
the poisons and matter that irritates
the nerves and causes ~biliousness,
headache and general debility.
We are also to give away a four
page sheet of music free to every.
body who calls.

GREATLY PLEASED
WITH EXPOSITION
North Dakota Building Is One of
the Most Popular at the
Fair.

Alfred Zuger has just returned from
San Francisco and has the following
to say relative to the exposition:
Only q few Northwestern states
have buildings at the Panama.Pacitic
Exposition at San Francisco. North
Dakota has a building which is well
located anu is a credit to the state.
The building is so situated that it is
conspicuous from two of the main
streets OF the exposition. 1t Is a very
beautiful structure, far finer than the
North Dakota building at the Chicago
exposition. The exhibits showing the
resources and wealth OF the state are
we'll planned and arranged with the
utmost god taste. When | vas there
lately great number of visitors from
Illinois, Iowa and other states were
close..y inspecting the exhibits. Many
favorable comments were heard, es-
pecially 1T the showing of North Da-
kOta corn. This building has pun
North Dakota on the map in a way
that could not be accomplished by
years Of ordinary advertising. Since
30 few states have buildings, those
IudL nave tucL1 Tx Oiou6AI 1ho'C
prominently to the attention of expo
sition visitors, and | believe we are
very fortunate in having a state build
ing and that 1t was q wise act of the
legislature and governor in providing
for it. North Dakota can hold its
head up with the best of them at San
Francisco.
"Mr. Holbein, who has charge Of
our building, and his staff are entitled
to great credit for the manner in
which they are treating visitors, as
we'll as advancing the reputation Of
the state. In no place visited did the
people seem better pleased than in
our building. Mr.. Holbein shows
every courtesy, not only to people
from his own state, but to all visitors,
and he is alive to the interests of the
state all the time. | believe We will
derive great benefit from the fair and
q large measure Of credit will be due
Mr.. Holbein and his people"
