school in President Smiths Ford.
The morning was spent in business
session until assembly was called. At

and made q short, but very pleasing
address. The orchestra and Choral
club, under the direction OF Prof.
Hubert Warren, delighted everyone
with the splendid music which they
furnished.
After assembly a very pretty and
delicious luncheon was served in
Burch hall by the home economics de-
partment to the honored guests and
faculty. The board members compli-

ly.' aa.
The afternoon was spent in inspect
ing the several departments and In a
second business session. A good deal
or time was occupied in looking over
the interior Of the gymnasium which
is just being finished. The board was
very well pleased with it.
In the evening the board members
were the guests of the Wahpeton Com
mercial club at the Merchants hotel
for an elegant banquet One hundred
and fifty of the city's leading citizens
were present and enjoyed the occasion

school orchestra furnished the music.
After the banquet had been served. Mr.,
Lounsourry acted as toastmaster,
introduced the several members Of the
board and each made a very able ad-
dress. In the addresses the members
of the board very candidly said that
1t is the policy of the board to make
the science school a bigger and better
institution than 1t has ever been; to
make 1t famous as a technical school
not alone In this state, but throughout
the entire northwest. In fact the board
seemed to favor exceedingly the kind
of work that the science school is pre-
pared to do. After the board members
had spoken, Attorneys Forbes and
DlVet were called upon and each gave
a splendid talk on what is hoped for
the state school of science.
In word the visit of the state
board of regents was a very pleasant
occasion for the school and for the
city. The entertainment at the Mer-
chants hotel was excellent and every
body was pleased and in good spirits.
The wish is being expressed often and
sincerely that we may have the
regents with us often.
A number of boys have asked for a
course in carpentry for the winter
term and it has been arranged to give
the course. Every boy interested in
that line of work should make his
wants known to President Smith. If
