COUNTY COURT SENTENCES. S.

'Elendale, N: D., Dec. 22.-The

tinuously except for Sunday, since

sale liquor firm, was given a jury til
al and found mot guilty.
Lee Anderson, assault and battery,

POLITICAL TENDENCIES.

While it is too early TO anticipate
party slogans, the political tenien.
cies do not indicate that there Will
be much serious division upon issues
in the approaching campaign in North
Dakota. Choice will turn Chiefly upon
personality rather than principles.
In national affairs the Republican
party is harmonious on the main Is
sues of policy. All the leaders are
for a protective tariff. They may
differ on the matter OF national Ge-
fense, but it is one of degree only.
There is unanimity upon the broad
proposition of national preparedness,
the only difference is in the manner
Of attainment. This, however, is not
agitating the average voter and there
is no reason to feel that much acri.
mony will result.
With such condition existing, 1t
should be an easy matter Tor the Re-
publicans Of North Dakota 10 make
their presidential selection without
bitterness and without factional con.
royersy. b..
There should be no confusing {
the national campaign with purely
local issues. Let the light be clean
cut. Sentiment in the state is divid.
ed among Cummins, Root, Hughes
and LaFollette. No Inan can say yet
about whom it will crystalize.
Tie chief necessity now is to keep
the party united, 50 that it can give
solid support to the choice Of the
next National Republican convention
whether that selection happens to De
tie one endorsed in our primaries OF
not.

INDIVIDUAL INSTRUCTION,

Very successful results have been
attained in the application of the in
dividual system of teaching as oppos,
ed to the class or lockstep method,
with 500 pupils attending the San
Francisco Normal School training
department during the last two years,
according to Monograph &C." issued
by President Frederic Burk. Success
has justified the institution in con-
tinuing the individual system as a
permanent feature this year.
Under the class plan all members
of d class complete the work or a
grade in the same time, but they vary
widely in thoroughness," says Mono
graph CO. Under the individual sys.
tenn the thoroughness IS practically
the same for all, but the pupils vary
widely in the time they require to
finish the work" $500 5'

The Boys Short Course just con-
cluded is the first of it's kind ever
held i'll Bottineau county and, in point
of attendance, as well as interest, was
the biggest Of its kind ever held in
the state. While those in charge Of
the preparations anticipated an at
tendance of from fifty to sixty boys,
no less than 1S0 enrolled for the
course, representing every section Of
BOttineau county. ,s. .ii
A. P. Henderson, Better Farming

charge of the course. He was assist.

As a result of the unqualified sue
cess of this first venture 1T has been
decided to hold similar. courses an
nually, future meetings to be in
charge of the Boys Farming club.
Conservative estimates place next
years enrolment at easily double
that of this years. It6is also planned
to hold corn show in connection
will! next years meeting.
That Bottineau countyais decidedly
in the corn belt and that the farmers
have faith therein is evidenced from
the fact that $4,000 acres of corn was
planted in the county during the past
season. In spite Of the admitted fact
that corn was failure this year, pre-
dictions are that the acreage for next
year will be still greater. 1t is signi-
licant that Bottineau was the only
county in the northern tier to score
in the state corn growing contest.

Hospital. .

Jamestown. N: d. Dec. 22.--Courl
convened continuing the case OF
Stutsnlan> County VS.. Keeler, as
Guardian Of Christ Hanson, an incom.
petent. ''''s" -
The defense called on John Carr,
attorney for Mrs. Christ Hanson, in
her divorce suit some years ago. He
testified that for the first year ana i
half after the proceedings for divorce
had been commenced, in 1909, a tenn.
porary alimony of SIS per month Was
paid by Mr.. Hanson to Mrs. Hanson.
But since that time only $35, some
time in, 1913, was paid. But to his
knowledge nothing had. been dOnc
with the divorce suit since Hanson
was, committed to the asylum.
The second witness for the defense
was Malcolm, Sinclair, steward, and
overseer Of the farm work at the asy.
lunl. He testified that for the six
years that Hanson was under the
states care he worked with the other
patients about the stock barn. He
admitted that such work was a rapt
of the cure.

was Mrs. Hanson. She stated that
she was self.supporting and that
Christ Hanson had no children of ms
own. That her two children, 16 and
is years of age, were bota we'll and

fendant, Christ Hanson, had no heirs
dependent upon him; that for ali

of him at the expense of the county,
and that he had sufficient property
Land wealth to pay for such care and
maintenance, and the defense had
no grounds for bringing up a counter
claim for work done by the defendant
on the asylum farm.

court: ordered the jury to make ver-
dichrfor the SUM of $96S.24 in favor
of the county and gave reasons for
such directed verdict. l.. Hopland,
as foreman of the jury, then signed
the verdict, presented by the court,
and it was read in open court by tnc
clerk. The court took all RESPONSE
blity for the verdict. ..'>

ferences in ability to get along In
school arc summed up thus:
/. The pupils complete the eight
grades of the elementary scnoo
course in five years while the slowes,
do the work in seven years, SAVING
one to three years.
2. Efficiency and thoroughness are
gained far beyond that of the lock-
step class system, whereby no pupil
is .leld responsible for the whole les.
son.
3. Individual instruction costs less
than class instruction, due to the
elimination of the wastes of the lock
step system, amounting to so per
cent.
4. Glasses of 40 to so pupils are
automatically reduced to 20 to 80 per
teacher by the individual system,
eliminates the repeaters, introduces
acceleration and makes many econo.
mics in school time.
). Statistics show that 90 per cen
or more of the youth OF the countr!
leave school without all elementary
education. Tie individual system
makes it possible for practically all
pupils to complete the course before
they reach the age at which the
leave school under the lockstcp sys.

sented are borne out ny comple'

the pupils who have participated in

past. Thus in one arithmetic course

spent the same time on the work, but
the degrees of thorougnness per. In.
dividual child would lave varied
greatly, while the faster pupils would
have marked time waiting for the
others, and some would lave had to
go over the course.
"These figures forcibly display their
own significance" says the Mono
graph. "They at once declare the fu-
tility of making the lockstep class
system, by any modification or patcn-
ing, serve the purposes for which
schools are maintained
Under the individua1 system the
"inhuman practice of making pupils

ject is to remedy the defects of a
system which creates an army of
