EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
WILL BURN Ignite COAL

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 13.-The Oc-
tober meeting of the State Board of
Regents is being held here this week.
The first thing scheduled was the OPP
ening Of the bids for the North Da-
kota Agricultural college at Fargo,
the State School of Science at Wah-
peton, the State Normal and Indus
trial school at Glendale and the State
School of Forestry at Bottineau. The
contracts for the fuel at the other four
institutions under the control of the
State Board of Regents had been let
by the former boards. Bids have been
submitted for the various forms of BIZ
luminous coal and from number of
Ignite mine operators. It is under
stood the members of the board are
strongly in favor of the use of the
native coal as soon as the furnaces in
the different power plants at the -edu-
cational institutions can be adapted to
it's use.
One of the important things to come
up at this meeting is the selection of
one or two men to make the survey of
the state educational institutions as
provided under the new law. The
members of the board have been in
correspondence with Hon. P. P. Clax-
ton, U. S. Commissioner Of Education,
with both the Carnegie and Rockefel-
Ter Foundations and with dozens of
private individuals and applicants for
these positions and selection will be
made at this weeks session.
President Worst of the agricultural
college, Director Cooper of the U. S.
experiment station, Presidents McFar
land of the Valley City Normal, Black
OF the State Normal-Industrial school
at Glendale Smith of the State
School of Forestry at Bottineau and
possibly other heads of institutions
will appear before the regents at the
present session to present matters of
interest relating to their institutions.
The board moved this week into it's
new Offices on the ground floor of the
capitol building and are now next door
neighbors to the State Board of Con-
troll, having charge of the penal and
charitable institutions.

the people of North Dakota extend a
joyful welcome to all who may wish

GOVERNOR ISSUES BOOSTER
WEEK" PROCLAMATION,

North Dakota Appreciation Week,
November Id to 20, is formally pro-
claimed by Governor L. B. Hanna in
q proclamation issued yesterday after
noon from his office at Bismarck. The
Governor points to the fact that North
Dakota has remarkably splendid con-
ditions that prevail in the state, and
he believes the spirit Of appreciation
week is one worthy of the support of
every loyal North Dakotan.
Governor Hanna's proclamation fol-
lows:
State of North Dakota. Executive
Department:
During the past few years the peo-
pie of North Dakota have enjoyed a
large measure Of prosperity and the
state has made great forward strides
until we have attained an advanced
position among the younger common
wealths of the country. To the farm
err businessman, or manufacturer,
North Dakota offers a field rich in OPP
portunity.
To US who have lived in North Da-
kota the wonderful advantages and
opportunities offered are accepted as
matter Of course, but to those living
in other states and in other countries,
the blessings which we enjoy are I'M
dreamed Of Naturally we appreciate
the advantages offered here in North
Dakota. We appreciate our homes,
our children, our churches, our ex-
cellent school system and our oppor-
tunity for further advancement. 1t
is for US to show our appreciation by
each and every one of us making

At the suggestion Of President
Louis w. Hill of the Great Northern
Railway Co., the N. D. P. A. is making
an effort to induce every editor in the
state to secure testimonial letters
from farmers telling Of their success
in North Dakota. These letters to be
valuable, should indicate the start the
farmer had and what he has been able
to accumulate, together with some in
formation as to his yields, amount of
his income, and his success in gen.
eral way. The Independent intends to
devote page to these testimonials
and we will deem it favor if our
farmer friends will give US their ex-
periences. The committee offers two

Do you remember the old fashioned
singing school, held in the little coun-
try church away back yonder? This
was the musical event of the season
ard it lasted for several weeks. Prof
essor Hubbard was on hand with his
rich baritone voice and he'd start the
affair off with free concert. A dollar
or two would pay for the term of les
sons and one of those red-backed long
song books. You'd learn to sing the
scale and before the season was over
you'd know all about clefs, bars,
sharps, flats and the naturals. You'd
learn to sing "Bye-lo Land" and the
other songs of quarter of a century
ago. Those were good old days when
player pianos, graphaphones and the
movies" were not yet dreamed Of.
Of course you'd have to escort your
best girl home from singing school
and pretty nearly every body who was
anybody was certain to be there.
Those were days that will come no
more, but those who had an oppor-
tunity Of learning the first rudiments
of music at one of the old fashioned
singing schools have had an expert
ence not permitted for our younger
friends.

A "PAT' REPLY

An Englishman, an 1rishman and a
Scotchman went forth together to
burgle a farm house. Johnny Bull
appropriated a 'oss, don'tyeknow, the
Scot coo, dye ken, and Paddy, by
the holy smoke, stole cart. As they
were making their way into town a
policeman approached and asked the
Englishman where he got the horse.
"AhL," was the reply, 81 ave 'ad it
since it was foal." "And where did
you get the cow" he asked the Scot
tie, who responded, "Weel, I've he'd
the coo since she was wee bit cauf.'
Turning to Pat, the constable next
asked, where did you get the cart ~
"Ah, be jabers, an be the poiper that
played before Brian Boru, I've had it,
my bowld bucko, since it was wheel
barrow"

Minot is host to several hundred of
the states most prominent women this
week, delegates to the annual conven-
ton of the Women's- Federated Clubs.
Minot is proud to have this opportun-
ity and nothing is being left undone
to make their stay here one that will
long be remembered with the greatest
pleasure The Independent is not in
the habit of throwing many bouquets
at the members of the fair sex, but
we want to go on record right here
and say that we doubt if any other
state can boast of a meeting of so
many bright, energetic, sensible, use
full women as Minot is entertaining
this week. The best that we can af-
ford belongs to our fair guests and we
hope that they'll see fit to pay our city
visit often.

North Dakota Masons have planned
splendid charity. The Scottish Rite
Masons of Grand Forks are making
arrangements to furnish free clinics
for needy children. BY this method,
crippled children of the state may be
cured of deformities, illness and phys
ical defects. About dozen physicians
of Grand Forks are Scottish Rite Ma
sons and all have volunteered to do
nate their services to this movement.
Undoubtedly other doctors of the state
who are members of this organization,
will be willing to do likewise.

TEACHERS NOT ALWAYS II
RIAME

Before listening to the complaints
Of your children about the general
fendishness of the teachers, and get
ting all worked up and excited over it,
it is better to reflect little. Remem-
Der, your one-or half dozen-cherubs
drive you crazy at times, so bear with
the teacher who is making intelligent
men and women out of as unpromising
raw material as you were twenty or
thirty years ago. Remember, that
besides your boy-who, of course,
everybody knows is an angel-she has
to contend with that awful boy Of your
neighbor's-and you know very we'll
what terror he is.

BREVITY OF ENGLISH.
Its Advantage In This Respect Over
French and German.

Its Advantage In This Respect Over
French and German.
In an international report. printed in
parallel columns in French, German
and English. the three versions being
exact TRANSACTIONS of each other, the
English report Invariably finished first:
sometimes it won by Il whole page. AS
a rule. the french report was the most
diffuse.
This brevty of English is partly ex.
planned by the fact that English is
made up to an extraordinary extent of
words of one syllable Its nouns hav-
ing unlike the German lost all their
infections except the possessive IS"
have become mere roots. very large
proportion of them monosyllabic. In
Germany monosylabic root practi-
cally always gets an extra syllable
tackled on by way of case ending. In
the second place English has little of
the elaborate and explicit machinery of
structure that French has. so it saves
space in propositions and such para
the grammarians call incipent agglu-
tination-that is. sticking words to-
gether in groups without either prepo-
sitionS or case endings to connect them.
An example of the former kind of
brevity is a word like earthquake"
two syllables. compared with the Ger
man 'erdbeben." three syllables, and
the French ''tremblement de terre."
five syllables. An example of the
terseness OF English would be a phrase
like, II have been TO the house and
have now come back" every word
single syllable. In telegram this
would be just as ineligible in the form
Been house now back" You cannot
carry that sort of thing far in any
other European language.-Manch
Guardian.
