sion for the preparation Of publv
school teachers. The maintenance Of
public normal schools, state, county
and city, costs the taxpayers Of the
nation about $6,GO0.OO0 annually. At
first blush this would seem to be Z
liberal sum; but when one remembers
that it is divided among 10 schools
the seeming liberality is transformed
into parsimony. The entire sum
would do no more than pay for the
annual maintenance Of Harvard and
Columbia universities. Yet, the whole
sum would not be more than half
enough to build and equip one dread
p0ught. Think of it, the cost of main
tanning all the normal schools in the
United States for two years is no
greater than the cost of one of our

THE WESTERN NORMAL.

The people of the southwestern
part OF the state are anxious for the
establishment Of 4 normal school at
Dickinson. Both political parties are
committed to this in their platform.
West Of the Missouri there is . vast
territory, many sections Of which are
already populous and thrifty, whose
people are contributing proportionate-
ly as much to the development ofehe
state and to the support Of its govern
ment and institutions as are the peo
pie Of any other section. And in all
that territory, many thousands Of
square miles in extent, there is not
a single institution for the training
of those teachers upon whose edicien-
cy the wellbeing Of the state depends
in such large measure. Tho young
man or young woman who desires to
become fitted for the work of teach.
ing, il q resident Of that district, must
travel several hundred miles to re-
ceive that training.
It is upon this actual need that tho
people Of the western territory base
their demand for better normal facili.
ties, and it is in recognition Of the
real need that exists that both Repub.
lican and Democratic state commit.
tees have declared themselves un.
equivocally in favor OF the normal west

best quality. The city has fine pub.
lie school system, q. we'll patronized
public library, and six prosperous
churches. The Masonic temple and
Elks' lodge home are not surpassed
in the state. Believing that goodness
and righteousness are basic in the
making of strong people, the city
takes special pride in the normal Do
velOpment of its youth.

MISSOURI SLOPE
NORMAL SCHOOL
A Vote for the Establishment
Of This School is Your
Patriotic Duty.
ON A SEPARATE BALLOT
In the Vast Territory West Of the Mis-.
souri, River There 10 Not a SINGH
Higher Educational Institution-Is
This Fair?

We all recognize that the supreme
duty of the state is the education OF
all its children; that the school must
be brought within easy reach of every
boy and girl; that whatever else may
be done. this one thing most needful
must not be left undone, that the
teacher must lay his hand in culture
on every child.
We now have over 5000 teachers
In the elementary schools of North
Dakota. One-fifth of that number are
new to the profession every year.
Twelve hundred inexperienced re-
cruts thus begin their work in the
school room each September. Few Of
them have had adequate special prepa-
ration for their all important work.
Many Of them know very little of
child development, Of the history Of
education, Of the principles Of peda.
gogy, Of the science and art OF instruc-
ton, or of the methods Of teaching
the branches required in the different
grades. Some of them become very
good teachers in time; but their ex-
perience is gained, too often, at the
expense of the pupils upon whom they
are permitted to practice. II the waste
in time and effort that results from
placing these Ill prepared and inexpe-
rienced teachers in charge Of the
schools of North Dakota could be es-
timated in dollars and cents the result
would be simply appalling.

More Than Pedagogy.

Nobody is going to Wahpeton to
study science; nobody Is going to Bot.
tineau to study forestry; nobody is
going to the agricultural college to
study agriculture and nobody Is going
to the normal schools MERELY to
study pedagogy. No, not At all, they
attend these institutions of higher
education for the larger culture they
offer and the better equipment they
afford for the making Of career in life.
Only the very few look to these
schools solely for technical equipment
And the student body of each Of our
schools clearly demonstrates that fact.
You will notice the largest number
come from counties Immediately sur
rounding the school. At the state
university there are "a per cent from
Grand Forks county; at the agricul-
tural college rs per cent are from
Cass county; at the Valley City nor
NAL, q per cent are from Barnes
county; at the Mayville normal there
are 40 per cent from Trail county;
1t the Minot normal there are So per
cent from Ward county; At the Ellen
dale school there are SO per cent from
Dickey county; at the school Of sci
ence there are 81 per cent from Rich
land county; at the school Of forestry
there are s. per cent from Bottineau
county. ....
All the schools are local. In order
to get any large number Of pupils to
attend school from west Of the river
We must put school here; otherwise
We will never get them to 60.
Would Not Increase Taxes.
A word is due to those who hold
that an additional normal school would
entail too much expense on the state
TAXES WILL BE NO HIGHER be-
cause a new building is located ad-
vantageously for an unschooled con-
tingency. The school taxes Of the
state are limited by the constitution
and the limit thus allowed has always
been used in its entirety They can
be no higher under the law
It will cost the state no more to
build and maintain a normal at Dick
insoa than to do so where a normal
already exists but at too great dis
lance for Slope students to 60.

Judge Grants Bridges

M,,cb has been said pro and eon relative to the new bridges to be built across Cache River at lelks and we are glad this week to give space to letter from Judge Hutchins in which he states he will have them con- structed as soon as the levees are built.
 We truly believe Judge Hut chins' greatest desire is to do any service that will prove most beneficial to the greatest number of people, and that he is too big a man to let any personalities prevent his doing so has now been proven by the fact that he has agreed to give the people a crossing at Jelks.
 Next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday has been designated by our Overseer J. F. Bronte, Messrs T. A. Jeffries, M. H. Pat terson, and others, as free road working days for the road be- tween Cache River and Fakes and we hope all who can will contribute whatever assistance they can. There is no road in Woodruff County that will serve as many people as this one road and 1t is to the interest of all the people of McCrory, Jelks, Nor ton, Fakes, Augusta and other points to do what they can in helping on this piece of work.
 If You can not go and help, pay whatever amount you care to contribute to J. L. Bronte who will hire someone to work in your place. If this is what you intend doing, you should see Mir. Bronte immediately and pay him the amount you want to give on the road. About 40 teams have been promised already to do free work on this road and we hope others will be donated.
 MT. T. A. Jeffries who is very much interested in this road and Who has donated freely to other roads has been corresponding With the officials relative to the road crossing at Jelks and we gladly publish a copy of a letter received by him from the State Highway Engineer, also one that ne wrote to Judge Hutchins and 'hereply he received which are as follows:

 McCrory, Arkansas. Dear Sir and Friend:-
 In reply to your letter about the bridges, etc, on the Fakes to Cache River road. I appreciate very much your interest in this matter and the kindly way in which you approach the same. There has been a great deal of unwarranted misunderstood ing about this matter and I am glad you have taken occasion to address me.
 1 am interested in the road and believe that with the proper levees and bridges that it will be a practicable one. Accordingly I am willing to agree to the fol- lowing as a solution to the dihi- culty.
 As soon as the people put the levee up to a sufficient height and length, I shall at once name three disinterested citizens of DeView Township to locates and draw specifications for bridge over the slough just west of the river and also for bridge be- tween the Noah's Lake Bridge and the rise near the Fakes end of the bridge. As soon as their report is filed shall immediately have the bridges built. If neces- sary the Commissioners can also make recommendations for ex- tension of river bridge which will be considered in the same manner.
 feel that the people are en- titled to a free and full consider ation of any of their wishes and I regret very much that some have endeavored to cloud the issue by personalities and feeling. 1 assure you. however, that my one desire is to serve the people of this county in whatever way I may be able.

TO sTRAIeHTEN YOUNG TREES
Some Plan Should Be Adopted to Sup
port Trees Until They Have De
veloped Root System.

Certain varieties OF fruit and shade
trees are said never to be straight of
trunk at the time of being brought
from the nursery; SO, instead of be-
wailing the crookedness of trees,
means should be employed for straight
ening them.
But whether trees are crooked or
not, some Of the plans herewith pre-
scented should be employed for the pur-
pose Of supporting young trees till
they have developed a root system
that will hold them up straight, says
writer in Successful Farming. Not
only does this bracing hold the trees
In proper form and position for rapid
growth, but where the wind weaves
the trees around, they quickly wear a
large opening, at the point where they
enter the ground, so that the action of
the sun and wind have a most detri-
mental effect on the roots, drying them
out and retarding normal development
OF the trees.

formed support for young tree, or for

CONTROL GREEN PEACH APHIS
Insect Attacks Leaves Early In Sea
son-Spray Thoroughly With
"BIack Leaf 40"

(Ey c. P. GILLETTE. Colorado Agri-
cultural College. Fort Collins. Colo)
The green aphis, which attacks the
peash leaves early in the season, and
which sometimes accumulates upon
the young peaches in sufficient num-
bers to destroy them, spends the win
ter in the egg stage upon the branches
of the trees. The eggs hatch two or
three weeks before the blossom buds
open, so that the best time to control
this insect is after the eggs hatch and
before the buds open. This may be
done by thoroughly spraying the trees
with BLACK Leaf 49," one part IN
about seven or eight hundred parts of
water, TO which pound OF soap has
been added for each 80 gallons. Kero-
sene emulsion or one of the miscible
oils may be used in place Of the
BLACK Leaf 40' and be equally as eff.
fectual.
