The new spirit filling the life and
activities of our people is nowhere
better exempIiled than in our schools
and colleges. The fundamental
changes wrought since 1890 nave
brought a new industrialism, new
democracy, and a new citizenship to
the State. Town and country, factory
and farm, teacher and pupil, have felt
the influence and shared in benefits
of these changes.
In 1890 the public school system OF
the State was % years old. The re-
port of the State superintendent for
the scholastic year 1SS9-90 is thin
volume of 80 pages. In its opening
paragraph, James Henry Rice, Sr.,
forcefully analyzes and states the
problem in the following words:
THE public schools of our State
need money. Our system is capable
of adjustment and amendment for ali
emergencies. These can be gradually
applied, with the healthy growth Of
the, work. 1t is we'll understood that
we have too many schools. This ten
dency to multiply teaching places is
natural, and has not been sufficiently
guarded by law. Tine State undertook
to give the people a comprehensive
and flexible system of schools, and
very properly gave the trustees, as
nearest the voters, large powers. Un-
der stress of political influence, IN
every neighborhood school houses
have been sought and TO often located
without regard to the greatest gooo
to the greatest number. The rights
of the taxpayers should be carefully
guarded, but those rights will only be
properly vindicated if the money is
wisely expended for better trained
teachers, more comfortable school
houses and longer terms.
School District Unit.
The community has always been the
starting point for educational better
ment. The local church and the To-
cal school have frequently stood side
by side and often the same good side
by side pastor served as pastor and
teacher. When the public school sys-
tenn was established in 1868, this COM
munity sentiment made the township
the local unit Of school organization,
administration and attendance. the
developmnt of the last % years
is best Illustrated by a comparison OF
the number of school districts in the
various counties. This same local
sentiment for home rule in counties
has caused the establishment OF Sa-
luda, Greenwood, Cherokee Dorches-
ter. Bamberg, Lee, Calhoun, Dillon al
Jasper-nine county seats since 1895,
During the same time it has increased
the number of school districts from
7O7 to 1907, a net gain of 1900.
Table showing increase in school
districts from 1890 to 1915 follows:

PUTS MEANING INTO LIFE.
Rev. Guy G. Lamson Subject of Who's
Who Sketch.

In its department of Who's Who in
Philadelphia the Atlantic City Gazette
Review contained in recent issue a
brief sketch of Rev. Guy C. Lamson,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. c. B. Lamson of
Brattleboro, missionary and Bible see
rotary of the American Baptist Publ
cation society. The sketch was as fol-
lows:
THE work that minister of the Cos
pei does for the community is as intan-
gible as electricity, which has been in
the world from the beginning but was
never properly harnessed until some 80
years ago. If the world would take the
gospel as seriously, there would be still
more light in dark places and still
greater convenience in making our lit.
tie journeys through life. In these
columns we have told of manufacturers
and merchants, of physicians and advo-
Gates, of artists and artisans. Let us
be fair to those who carry burdens
which are concealed but none the less
heavy-to those who are putting a
deeper meaning into life than those
who fill material wants. One of these
is the Rev. Guy c. Lamson, d. D., who
has just been made general secretary
of the American Baptist Publication
society, succeeding the Rev. A. j. Row
land, d. ID. DR.. Lamson was formerly
missionary and bible secretary of the
society. He is a graduate of Middle.
bury college, which conferred upon him
the degree of ID. D. He has officiated
as pastor of the Hyde Park Baptist
church, Boston, Mass, and for two
years was district, secretary of the
American Baptist Publication society
in New England. AS missionary and
Bible secretary of the American Bap-
fist Publication society, DR.. Lamson
succeeded the Rev. Robt. G. Seymour.
Now that he has been called upon to
take up the larger work of general
secretary his talents will be given am
pie scope and the best wishes of his
host of friends should prove a sustain
ing grace.

LOTUS QUARTET PLEAsEs,
Especially Entertaining Program Rem
dered in Baptist Church.

4 company of fair proportions which
attended the concert Wednesday in
the First Baptist church by the Lotus
male quartet and Miss Dorothy Car
penter, reader, all of Boston, is indebt
ed to the Christian Endeavor society
of that church for an entertainment of
rare pleasure. Miss Carpenter, who
came here with the quartet before,
seemed at her best that evening. A
woman of good presence and marked
versatility, she was received with en-
thusiasm. The quartet, which is one
of the best organizations of its kind,
produced some exceptionally fine en-,
semble effects, and the audience was
thrilled many times with the beautiful
harmony.
Mr. Weeks, second tenor, Mr.. Ray
mond, baritone, and Mr.. Cannell, basso,
rendered solos, displaying well trained
voices. Robert Martin, first tenor, has
developed the falsetto to a marked de.
gree, which enables the quartet to
produce some delicate harmonies that
would be impossible without using the
falsetto. His singing brings up mem
cries of the old Lotus Glee club, in
which one of Mr. Martin s predecessors
was George Divoll, who had perfect
mastery over his falsetto voice.
The accompanist Wednesday was
Frank NJ. Cram, organist of the church.
Every number was encored and each
time the artists responded

PLANT LICE

Plant lice attack many plants
and cause considerable damage
when present in large numbers.
They are little difficult to kill.
Plant lice do not eat the plant but
suck out the juice. This mean )
that they can not be killed by
spraying within poison spray as
they do not eat the outside of the
leaf that will be poisoned. Plant
lice have to be killed by spray
that will kill when it comes in
contact with them. Tobacco solu-
ton is one of the best sprays. The
nicotine comes already prepared
and only needs dilution. The
plant lice can also be killed by oil.
When a little oil gets on them it
spreads over their body, closing
the breathing pores, which chokes
them. Kerosene emulsion is very
cheap and effective. The Ohio En-
pertinent Station gives the follow
ing proportions for small am
cunt. Dissolve one inch cube Of
soap in i-2 pint of boiling water,
to which add pint of kerosene.
Put into a two quart mason jar
and shake till thoroughly emulsi-
fled. For use make up to 8 gall
Ions. When the plant lice are on
the under side of the leaves it will
be necessary to apply the spray
from below in order to get it in
contact with the lice.

MAKING IMPROVEMENTS

The HanklnSon Nursery Com
pany has suffered more or less
from depredations on their
grounds west of the city of Hank
inson, the lack of anyone residing
in the neighborhood making il
easy for evil disposed persons to
damage the trees and premises.
This is being remedied, however,
for the company has just COM
pleted a fine 8-rOOm two-story
dwelling house on the hill i'm the
center of the grounds and this
will be occupied this week by Roy
II. Nelson and family. Mr.. Nelson
has grown up in the nursery bust
ness, having been i'm the employ
of the Jewell Nursery Company
for many years, and will have
general supervision of the
grounds. His family consists of a
wife and four children and they
arrived recently from Lake City,

THE REGISTRATION LIST

VIM. Schuett, assessor and po-
litical registration official for the
city of Hankinson, completed his
registration of voters for the June
primary election Wednesday ev-
ening of last week. The toal num-
her of voters listed is $40. OF
these 236 are democrats, 1928 re-
publicans, socialist and 5 re-
fused TO state a political prefer
ence. This is an increase of 20
votes over the registration of
two years ago for Hankinson. Mr..
Schuett states that there are at
least 20 more who will be voters
in the fall but who cannot partici-
pate in the primaries because of
lacking the full years residence
in the state that is required un-
der the election laws.
A study of the party registra-
ton list as complied by Assessor
Schuett develops some interesting
facts. The combined ages of the
$40 votes listed amounts to 49,

THE COUNTRY PREACHER

Tire country preacher deserves
more praise and consideration
tEan he gets from the people.
There is no vocation or profession
that i" so grossly underpaid, and
no man is subject to as much
carping criticisms. The people
may find fault with his sermons.
and say that his logic is bad, Or
tina! his delivery is poor, but the
country preacher keeps right on
saving souls and cheering the
sick unmindful of the criticism OF
which he is the target. The coun-
try preacher is human being,
the same as all the rest of us.
He may err occasionally, but it
is only occasionally, while with
the rest of us it may be chronic.
He puts in long hours working up
sermons; he goes out of his way
to make calls on his congrega-
ton members: he is ever ready
with a smile and word of en-
couragement for the sick, for the
needy and for the down-and-outs.
And all this for a salary that is
but little less than a mockery in
most instances. The country
preacher. like the country doctor,
is worthy of more praise, more
credit, and more hOnors than US
ually come his way.-Exchange.

Attorney Aubrey Lawrence, for
the Scottish Rite Bodies of Fargo
and Attorney Geo. E. Wallace, for
the Tax Commission argued the
question as to whether the Ma
sonic Temple located at Fargo is
assessable, before the Supreme
Court today.
This is one of the important
cases which have been appearing
in the tax matters of the state.
John Wetz, city assessor of Far
go acting under the instructions
of the Tax Commission assessed
the temple. The Scottish Rites bo-
dies claim to be exempt on the
ground that they are charitable
body.
This case involves several mil
lion dollars of lodge property with
in the state. If the supreme court
holds that the Masonic Temple is
assessable, then every lodge and
secret society must pay taxes on
all real and personal property
owned by them.
Wallace in his affidavit and re-
turn sets forth that Setcion 2O78
of the Compiled Laws of 1918,
which allows exemptions to frater
nal and charitable associations
was not enacted after the adop-
ton of the constitutional amend
ments permitting this class Of
property to be exempt.
Wallace also sets out that the
two amendments adopted by the
people at the last general election
which amendments would permit
property to be classified for the
purposes of taxation, were never
legally adopted.
These constitutional amend
ments passed two sessions Of the
legislature and were then voted
on by the people passing by big
According to Wallace's
these amendments are
unconstitutional in that they were
voted on together and as one pro-
position.
section 2O2 of the constitution
declares that all amendments to
the constitution must be submit
ted as separate propositions so
that the voters can vote for or
against each amendment. The
Secretary of State when certify
ing these amendments out for a
place on the ballot placed the two
combining them into one
proposition, in place of submit
ting the two as separate PROPOSE
tions, contrary to the constitu-
ton. Hence according to Wallace
these two amendments were never
legally adopted and are invalid.
