Inspiring Talks Given to the High
School Students.
Miss Minnie Nelson, president of
the State Federation Of Women's
Clubs, and County Supt. of Barnes
county, was the first speaker on Wed
nesday morning. In citing the story
| of the Great Stone Face, and the leg
| end of the Little Blue-bell, Miss Mel
son showed our inner thoughts be-
come reflected in the expression on
our faces; that in order to succeed
we must have "belief in ourselves
or a feeling that we can and will.
She closed with the quotation: "Give
to the world the best you have, and
the best will come back to you"
Miss Beatrice Johnston, who is
president of the North Dakota state
teachers association, and County Su-
perintendent of Grand Forks County,
then addressed the students. Miss
Johnston briefly spoke Of the charac-
| teristics of a trained mind. Accord
ing to Miss Johnston, "open-minded-
ness is the first quality Of a trained
| mind" She mentioned three types
Of minds; first, the "liquid mind"
| which like sand or water runs every
where unrestrained; secondly, the
static mind, which, immovable as
| granite, char~acterizes an old mind,
| and thirdly the plastic mind, which is
| an ever growing mind, one which is
self-adjusting and therefore ready to
receive new ideas, when they are
found to be useful. The second quail
ity of a trained mind is common
sense. This common sense comes with
educatlOn, and IN Cn1s ~con1iectloll
| Miss Johnston made a strong plea fo1
higher education for high school stud
ents.
She gave a two-fold reason for go.
ing to college. First the value to the
individual derived from the efforts
which must be put forth in making
the climb, and secondly the beautiful!
view at the top when n has
reached the summit. Both speaker:
told many interesting stories ane
were enthusiastically received by the
student body. ..,
Supt. Hoover of Fargo, candidate
for Superintendent of public instruc'
ton, spoke to the high school Thurs
day morning. By giving as an illus ;
tration the lives of two boys, which
had come to his observation, he very
forcibly brought several facts before
the minds of the young people. Life
is made up Of choices, and the choices
which are made early are the de
termining ones" In the serious bust
ness of life it is industry which makes
YOU fitting, which is most desirable
and most gratifying to you in late
life, when you see the results. HI
