Under the magnetic leadership
OF f. Melius Christiansen, the
director. this band of student mu-

from music critics, who class it
on an equal ranking with the
great professional bands of the

can rival almost any of the larg-

United States or Europe, and as
far as Interpretation is concern
ed is on par with any,"
The prospect of hearing the
rendition of high-class music by
an organization of such nation
wide reputation, will doubtless
serve to fill the opera house to
its fullest capacity.

SCIENCE SCHOOL NOTES

President Smith left Tuesday
evening for Bismarck. The Pres
ident was summoned by the State
Investigating Committee to meet
them at the Capitol and present
to them the Status of the Science
School. 1t is the business of this
committee to look into the needs
of the State institutions and to
apportion among the institutions
the funds collected for their
maintenance.
The lecture by Lincoln Writ
last Monday night was the last
regular number of the course. Mr..
Writ pleased every one. Most
Americans scarcely realize that
we own Alaska. that wonderful
land of mystery. but they will
never forget it after hearing Mr..
Writ relate his experiences.
All holders of season tickets
are requested to retain them as
they will be good for some later
entertainment to be given by the
Science School: It is not definite
ly decided what the nature of this
entertainment will be. but proba-
bly, it will be band concert.
Miss Elsie Easter. secretary to
the President spent Sunday and
Monday in Minneapolis.
Science lost hard fought
game to the Agricultural School
by the close score 10 to %, last
Friday night.
The Misses Miles. Zuill and
Oistad of the Science School fac
ulty were hostesses at Sunday
evening lunch given in honor of
President Smiths Birthday. The
entire faculty was present except
Mr.. Paul.
A few visitors were around la st
week but the writer could not
learn their names. Students
should report thew visitors
through the medium of the News

METHODIST CHURCH
The second QUARTERLY Cont

The second quarterly Confer
ence Of the year was held in the
church last Tuesday evening. Rev.
C. A. Mcnamara of Fargo, pre-
siding. Reports of the different
branches of the work were pre-
scented, showing the different or
carnations of the church to be in
a prosperous condition.
Last Friday evening the So
cial Club held a meeting at the
home of R. M. Lunday on Third
street. A large crowd was present
to enjoy the good time provided
by the program committee. The
program was little out of the
ordinary. Miss Lillian Leavitt
sang very beautiful solo, after
which there was presented a two
act farce. This was very amusing
and added greatly to the pleas
ures of the evening. The clue is
a help to the church in providing
for the social and entertainment
features.
On Tuesday evening the Ep-
worth League gave a sleigh ride
party to the members and at
PENDANTS. Two sleigh loads start
ed from the home of F. A. Nolan
ON Iowa Avenue: and, after riding
about town and in the country,
they returned to the Nolan home,
where refreshments were served.
The EVENING was greatly enjoyed
by those present.
The Kings Heralds will give a
social evening i'm the church on
Friday evening. Supper will be
served beginning at $50 D. M,
after which q good PROGRAM will
be rendered. Ar invitation is ex-
tended to all the children and
grown people to come.

AmERlcAN MEurRALlry

The Fargo COurier-News says
it so we'll that we cannot hope to
do better on the above subject
than to reproduce it as follows:
Secretary Bryan's letter to
Senator William j. Stone puts
very plainly and forcibly the pol
icy of our government for neu-
trality and is a sweeping answer
to critics who have averred that
the administration favored the al
lies.
The feeling of our FOREIGN born
citizens and of their children
have been exceedingly stro-
and it has been a'~-ost impossible
for either the government. public
speakers or newspapers to ret
along without being accused of
partially and unfairness. 1t is
true that the hears is never meu-
trail. and that every thinking in
dividual in the United States has
preference in the war, but not
withstanding this, conversation,
attitude and cotton may be held
sternly and strictly neutral.
Mr.. Bryan shows that the ad-
ministration has been perfectly
fair and has shown no prefer
ence. We will sell arms and pro-
visions to all alike and this is the
only attitude practicable. If one
party can take more advantage
of this readiness to trade than
the other can, this is a part of the
fortunes Of war and is not our
fault.
1t is desirable to maintain such
fairness and neutrality that when
the war is over our government
may help establish lasting
peace.

Myron I. Herrick. of Cleveland.
o.. one of the most talked about
Republicans mentioned for the
Republican nomination fr pres
ident in 1916. made an aftcr-din-
ner speech down in New York, the
other day. and said some things
that some of his fellow-Repub-
llcans should think about and
heed. Having just returned home
from Paris, where he served with
distinction as ambassador of his
country to France he had an on
po:'tunity while there to know
how unitedly the peoples Of Eur
opr stand as on; man in defense
Of their country. and his words
are we'll worth repeating 10 every
body in this country. In referring
to the manner IN which tho fac

said:

That is the right American
spirit: and it is respectfully re-
ferred to Mr.. Harrick's political
associates who. On the contrary,
are doing everything in their
power to belittle and embarrass
the administration in its dealing
with the powers at war. and ia
weaken their power for good.
