Forget The Black Rust!

@M& @ &# &8&@ Z@#
While crop returns this year will not be as
great as the promising conditions a short time ago
indicated. we believe that in the final summing up
Of the years returns the people Of Bottineau County
have much to be thankful for.
The writer knows Of many in this vicinity who
during the past summer expressed a desire as well as
intention to purchase a piano this year and | would
not like to think that a single one of the many who
formed this good resolution would let the slightly
lower crop returns deter them from doing so.
No farmer whose broad acres are sufficiently
productive to even create a thought Of black rust
need think of the cost of a piano as something to in
terfere with the educational advantages and happi-
ness of his family.
l have JUST received a large shipment of pianos,
player pianos and organs, which l offer to the people
of this vicinity at just as low prices and as easy terms
as this class ofAinstrument can be purchased for any
where.
Write today for c~atalog and information and
forget the black rust-you good men of this Great
West.

PREPARE AGAINST GRAFT.-

PREPARE AGAINST GRAFT
The capitalist press has been harping
upon the preparedness string until
it is worn to a FRAGILE. In and out Of
season we have it thrust before our
eyes until we are sickened of the
whole plan by their insistence. 1t is
said that preparedness will save us
from war, but it did not prevent war
in Europe, where every nation was
prepared. We did not hear any Of
this preparedness clamor five years
ago and we were no more prepared
then than now.
About 20 per cent Of our national
income goes for war purposes, and
before we increase the amount we
should make sure we are expanding
this to the best advantage. These
are mild words when we remember
embalmed beef, musty cOrnmeal,
weeviIy beans and the high officials
who profted, but were not punished.
We should be prepared, yes, but
against grafters and traitors at
home, not imaginary enemies

AN OPEN LETTER TO STUDENT

Dear Sir:-Your prompt and spirited
comment upon the two editorials re-
recently PUBLISHED dealing with the
teaching of the English laguage and
literature in colleges and universities,
was, as you doubtless observed, given
publication in the February third issue
of this paper. We have reason to be-
lieve that your letter did not go I'M
read and tLat the sentiments of the
writer, tho expressed chiefly in rheto-
rical questions, were not generally mis-
understood Or condemned.
The prcdicament in which you, as
student of English, evidently find your
self, is, indeed, a distressing one, and
were not the remedy plain, it would
be serious.
Courses in literature should have
definite purpose, and that purpose
should be as clear to the pupil as to
the teacher. There should be for eve
ny course beginning, a middle, and
an end. Tie pupil should be able to
see from the first lecture whittier his
reading and lectures tend, and over
what route they will travel.
The procedure of a course should be
logical and orderly Erratically chos-
en- works defeat the underlying pur-
pose which is the only justification of
reducing literature to exact study
Absence from class on the part of
an instructor is excusable, of course,
only on serious grounds, and compen-
satfon should be made to students by
substitute instructors if those absen-
ces are frequent or prolonged.
We do not believe that any decent
mind would tolerate the unthink-
able practice which you wildly
describe as pulling off the
rough stuff in class. And the assign |
ing of coarse passages to be read aloud
in class by either boys or girls would
seem to indicate, on the part OF the i
teacher who does so, debased nature
So far from considering that coarse
jests and vile selections are necessa-
ry to classes in English literature, we
consider them hostile to the very in
tent of the subject, which is to teach
an appreciation of the true and the
beautiful as expressed in language.
We admire deeply the honesty and
cIeanness of your spirit which rebels
at the intimated waste and abuse of
public funds expended in employing an
individual who, if your picture is ac-
curate, has, clearly, a shocking con-
ception of his function. We agree
with you that the people of Idaho will
not permit in any school teaching that
is so demoralzing, influences that are
so debasing.
But in one particular we must with
hold from you our sympathy and our :
admiration. I,
We have said that your predicament t
would be serious if the remedy were
not so obvious. We mean exactly that.
You have at haad the means of cor t
recting apparent evils and you surely t
fail to use them. Complaining will do +
little good. Acting achieves results. :
Your obvious duty, is, of course,
to lay these matters before the en-
ployer of the teacher you seem to find
