HIGH SCHOOL PLAY
PRODUCING TALK

i schools before the National Educa-
tional Association this afternoon. An
abstract OF his address is as follows:
The increase in the production OF
plays in high schools has been extra
Iordinarily rapid in all parts of the
country. In some parts the movement
began earlier and has reached nigh
Ter development. This development,
Iresulting from real need which has
Expressed itself at times as demand,
has been accompanied by the build
ing and equipping of high school
stages. Who're proper evaporation
between students and faculty has OBJ
ltained, the production of plays has
brought more than satisfactory re-
lsultS.
/ Such cooperation should begin
months before the presentation Of the
fplay, when the search for a suitable
be worth while, and must be accept
able to both the coach and the stage
director, WHO are members of the fac
ulty. The stage director Is especially
important IL a modern drama or lllu-
sion is chosen; for some modern
plays, II they should lose their seen
cry, would lose their meaning After
the selection of the play, the coach
the stage director, and the cast, the
! for two months to bring the acting
and the staging to a degree of per-
lection. Then begins still broader
cooperation; on the part OF the stud
ents, committees on properties, scene
shifting, programs, publicity, usher
ing, electricians and a business
manager; on the part Of the faculty,
coach, a stage manager. a financial
advisor. and assistant to the coach
Z frx,. nd al
The play should be given on a high
school stage. This Is necessity, to
keep the play from being taken to
the downtown theater. which is I'M
satisfactory for many reasons. More
| over high school stage is useful in
many ways other than the giving of
class plays. If the stage to begin with
is equipped with only one exterior
and one interior set, this is sufficient
1t can be added to from year to year
by the efforts of the school. Orches-
ira lights, interior scenes, and proper
ties can be designed. made, and paint
ed by pupils from the manual train
ing and art classes. The play should
be given at a low price Of admission.
and should be given two or more
nights in school OF 1900 or more.
Plays like the Piper and AS You Like
1t, should have matinees for grade
students.
Net proceeds are not to be used
for GLASS blow-outs." ETC., but for
such worthy purpose as adding fine
art to the school equipment Under
the direct auspices OF the faculty such
fine productions as Millions Comus,
the morality play Everyman. poetical
plays, and Greek tragedies may be
staged co1npl mentary to the school
such work wins high appreciation
from the pupils and adds greatly to
the efficiency and cooperation OF the
faculty Next year, 1916, is a Shakes
pearlan centenary; and a festival OF
Shakesperian plays. songs and page
ants will be especially appropriate.

house filled with smoke and flames.
She hurried down stairs, seized the
sleeping babe down the side of her
mother, and awoke the father and
mother, then escaped with the baby.
The distracted parents made every eff
fort to save the four other children.
The elder boy managed to get out of
the house, but was so badly burned
that he died next day. The other
three children were burned to death,
only some charred bones being left
when the house burned to the ground.
Myer was dangerously injured in try
ing to save the children, but will re-
cover. The origin of the fire is UNI

WILL NOT RUN FOR SENATOR
Bismarck, Denies Rumor Of His
Candidacy.

Bismarck.-United States Treasur-
er John Burke, former governor of
North Dakota spent the day in Bis.
marck on his way to Washington
from San Francisco, where he visited
the exposition.
When asked about the rumor that
he would be candidate for United
States senator on the democratic
ticket Mr.. Burke said: Il have a
pretty good job at the present time
and have never considered being a
senatorial candidate. MY present po-
sition is an important one and it will
be only matter of short time until
this country will be the financial cen
ter of the world and if we continue
to keep out of the European struggle
it will bring about that change much
sooner"
Mr.. Burke stands up strongly for
the rights of Americans and other
neutrals on the high seas and says
President Wilson is taking firm
stand in the matter and is doing all
he can to avert further trouble with
Germany and in the event that his
efforts fail and we are driven into the
struggle it will not be through any
fault of his, nor lack of diplomacy.

lures occurred near the southeast city

consented, being employed at a farm
house nearby. and where she was go

bile, but instead the men did not slack
en- speed and the girl jumped out while

was quite badly bruised by the fall and
required the attention of a physician.

improper liberties with the girl While

tanned by being called into court they

their escapade.

than any other driver. A fireworks
display was one of the big amuse-
ment features in the evening.

CROP REr7Y FOR Haa..:,.
Sections-Rumors of Rust
Damage Reduced.

Fargo.-With perfect weather in
North Dakota for more than a week,
with no black rust which has done
perceptible damage and with favorable
conditions in practically every por-
ton of the Northwest and the Ninth
Reserve district, grain men and bank
ers alike insist that the crop outlook
is as encouraging as it could be at
this season.
harvesting has been commenced in
South Dakota and will be started in
North Dakota in two weeks Rumors
of black rust, so much dreaded by
wheat growers, have been vigorously
investigated by local grain dealers
and in every case, they say, reports
are greatly exaggerated and damage
nominal.
Rust Not Extended.
Dealers say black rust is always to
be found around straw stacks and
along the edges Of fields which abutt
on timber land, but that this year it
has not extended because weather con-
ditions have been unfavorable to it's
development except in extremely lin.
tied areas.
L. V. Skoglund, cashier of the First
State bank of Cascoyne, N. d., has
sent cutting to the Scandinavian
American National bank of this city,
which stands six feet high, with the
berries filling out nicely and the heads
in proportion to the size of the stalk

vest fields have already begun to ar
rive. F. G. Orr, vice president of the

reau is sending men each day to South
Dakota and other Northwestern points,
1t is estimated that North Dakota will
need 1000 men.
