Township School Row

Cost and Board Officers

A merry little school war was car
ried to the office OF County Supt. j.
w. Riley yesterday when at o'clock
4. A. Crommie and John Weller. two
members of school district No. 10S,
Noble township invaded the premises
and until o'clock III the evening laid
before Deputy Superintendent w. A.
Landblom their side of a question that
has arisen over the closing OF one
school.
Formerly there were two school
houses in the district--one east and
one west-but majority of the
school patrons voted to maintain only
one--the west school.
The result is that there is only one
pupil going from. the east to the west
district school. Clarence Walters. son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Walters. the
other residents of the east section
sending their children to other schools.
The two members of the board,
who visited the county superintendent
yesterday, do not want $65 a month

The third member of the board, Oh

So Says Speaker at
Final Session Today;
1,753 Are Enrolled


Over 1000 teachers, who filled the
Fargo auditorium at the closing ses-
sion of the North Dakota Education
association this morning, were disap-
pointed when announcement was made
that Pres. George e. Vincent of the
University of Minnesota, who was
scheduled for the main address, had
missed his train in Chicago yesterday
and was unable to be present.
President Vincent is one of the most
noted speakers in the country, but mis-
place this morning was well filed by
DR.. Walter Rauschenbusch of Roches-
ter, N. Y, noted for his religious writ
ings, who is in Fargo with the Peo-
pies Lyceum course, appearing at the
agricultural college tonight.
Teacher May Help.
In speaking on the subject of How
the Teacher Helps Education, DIR.
Rauschenbusch classed the profession
OF teaching as one of the greatest
of professions, but one of the poorest
paid. He predicted that within few
years the pay of the teacher would be
increased to what it should be.
The school Is the greatest thing in
the child's life" said the speaker 1T
takes the child away from his home
and mother for a few hours out of the
day. 1t teaches him the social side of
life and makes a social being of
him."
Appeal For Reverence.
DR., Rauschenbusch appealed to the
teacher to secure a reverence from the
child for his parents He said that
in recent years, especially, the child
has lost to a certain extent, the rever-
ence for his parents.
Father Loses Out.
The father is especially subject to
this condition, contended the speaker.
1T used to be that the father was
master of the household, but now the
mother is the master. The father is
on the outskirts and acts only as the
official provider. The father of today
has lost his control of the family, and
the teacher may help to remedy this
situation"
DR.. Rauschenbusch considers it un-
fortunate that religion cannot be
taught in the public schools of this
country, owing TO the many different
denominations. He said, however,
that were it not for the religion that
is drilled into the children in the home
and in the church, the public schools
of America would count for little.

with only threesons, residents of
Canada and the western part Of the

hardships, Mr. and Mrs. LandbIom are

to enjoy the good things that their

Mr. Landblom first arrived here on
April Ia, 1871. He took squatters' right

Iikelv to become a big factor IN the
war. as its range Is necessarily

The development in the refnements
Of the rapid-hre gun has been so rapid
in this war that frequently men UP at
the front doing machine-gun work are
brought back to this training camp to
learn Of the latest change. Whenever
a German machine gun is captured
and hundreds have been taken IN the
Somme fighting it is examined at once
bv ordnance experts, who are eager 20
see what new change has been made by
the German mechanical geniuses. All
the men who 90 through this school
study the German instruments as care
fully as their own types. for frequently
the captured German gun rs turned on
its late owners. and then is the time
when the British machine-gun man
must know how TO work IT, WITH
changes which can be made quickly,
German guns can be adapted 10 Brit-
ISL ammunition.
A machine gun is a destructive IN
strument at mile range, but 1t does
the best work at about half that dis
lance. Il can be swung from side TO
side so quickly and can be fired so
rapidly that one gun can NOV over a
whole battalion before it has advanced
many yards.
One department of the school is de-
voted exclusively TO the study OF gun
emplacements. whether for trench de-
,nce or the defence of whole hill or
village. Various methods OF DISCUS
ing the emplacement are shown. In
one case il was impossible TO see the
opening for the gun though standing
within twenty feet Of it.
German Gun Men Brave
The colonel in charge of the school
paid high compliment TO the German
are brave lot and mighty clever in
their handling Of this weapon. He
cited the case of one German who kept
his gun going though he had seven bay
onet wounds. In the early days OF the
Somme offensive, when the Germans
still had deep trenches and dugouts to
protect them from the storm Of high
explosives. they exacted a heavy toll
from the British infantry, but condi-
tons are somewhat reversed now, for
it is the Germans who pay the price in
the counter attacks.
At this camp ! fired both the British
and German types Of machine guns and
noted little difference in their action.
The clatter of their fire. which resem-
bles nothing more than the noise made
by youngster dragging q stick along
a picket fence. though, of course, it is
much louder, does not trouble one when
seated behind the gun. but the vibra-
tion makes it difficult to aim until one
