Interest Grows in Lectures of Dr. Griggs at Central
 High School
DRAMA OF PROTEST
 INTELLECTUAL TREAT
Today's Programme Presents "The Philosophy of Education" and Protest Against Eco
 homie Wrong
By G.. LEWIS BAuLEs

The Griggs' lectures of the second day of the present course drew larger audi ences even than the first two numbers.
 The unusual interest manifested on the part of both the teachers and the general public,' said Dr. Phillips last night, "car- ries with 1t a significance which is most gratifying, as I contemplate our city s educational future. Birmingham is cross ing the threshold into a new epoch of her educational life and certain it is that this widespread interest in modern social and educational problems on the part of so many of our people is not less sig nificant than the present unanimity of in terest looking to the solution of Birming- hams problem of physical equipment in her entire school system
 MT. Griggs himself felt impelled to say that he realizes very keenly that he is in a Birmingham which is somehow "a diff ferent Birmingham to that of three years ago.

DRAMA OF PROTEST

Last nights number was "The Protest Against Social Injustice-The Prometheus Unbound of Shelley"
 Studenes Of Shelley recognize this mas terpiece of his as the apothesis of the French revolution.
 Shelley was profound student of philosophy, he said. and early began close and thorough study of the mas ter Greek dramatist, Aeschylus whose own "Prometheus Bound" gave him the inspiration for "the unbinding'- his matchless conception executed in '-Prometheus Unbound"
 Let no man say Shelley, the soar ing spirit of fecund. prolific and sub tie power, was an atheist" said Mir

AFTERNOON LECTURE

The subject for yesterday afternoon was Work and Play in Education MT. Griggs raised the question whether we. while in the hood-tide of this so-called
 new education, while turning from duty to interest, whether we are not actually producing great groups of those who cannot do anything whatsoever which they do not absolutely like to do. Tt requires no argument to prove that work as we'll as play is present in all human livirg,'' said Dr. Griggs, that the mo- tive of love must be completed by duty; therefore, if education is to prepare for life,'' he said, it must train both the de- sire for earnest work and the habit of its performance"
 Mir. Griggs believes that one of the most striking evidences of failure in our civilization is found in the way we strive to enjoy ourselves-to play, He used as an illustration the sailor or soldier who, home from hard work and privation, wan ders into the dives and dens where pois- onous drink is dispensed and sad carica- lures of what once were women are ready to pander to every degraded sensi- ifr

BY referendum petition the
bootlegging law goes to the

and is aimed at the walkin g
liquor peddler. The outside

jamestown, Oct. 2O.-Bossy,
queen of the ranch, may soon
find her queenly honors slip
ping to the good old Roose-
veltian pig, if a story told here
today by Henry Larson promi-
ent farmea of Buchanan, car
ries any weight.
On the Watts & Larson
| ranch, few miles south of
Buchanan there is pig of a
motherly and John d. Rookie
feller disposition. She has a
thorobred lineage and pedigree
| which goes back into genera
tions - further than some
humans would permit theirs to
be investigated.
This pig had ten little pigs
last spring, seven of which
were sold for 1925. Two mem
bers of the family were dressed
and used on the table. The
other member of the family
was kept for use the following
season. The mother is retained
for 1917.
When next spring arrives
this Duroc Jersey pig will be
just two. years old. Notwith-
standing her tender age and
mature production she has q
good appetite and her owners
count her. worth at least SOC
right now. They estimate
that her product this season
twas worth $500.

MEETS DEATH IN
{. SIXTY FOOT WELL

Wolford, N. y. Oct. a.
Avery Blodget, age "a, net
death in the bottom of a sixty
foot we'll, being asphyxiated by
dynamite fumes, and Richard
Zilla, who attempted to rescue
him escaped a similar fate by a
narrow margin. The latter is
confinded to bed with wrench
ed knee and a fractured rib.
The accident happened on
the S. Tcpness place, when
Blodgett went to the bottom of
the we'll to remove a large soone
one day after dynamite had
been exploded in it. To make
sure that the fumes had left, d
lantern was lowered. After
reaching the bottom, Blodgett
worked a short time and then
asked to be taken up. The
cable had been drawn about Is
feet, when the men on top
noticed it suddenly slacken.
Immediately Zilla placed the
cable around himself and was
lowered. When he reached the
bottom he tried to get Blodgett,
but was also overcome by the
umes. When drawn up he
was hanging by one knee and it
was with difficulty that he wac
brou ght to the surface.
Blodget was taken up, but
doctors were unable to revive
him, although they worked on
him for several hours.

A DAYS LABOR NOW
EQUAL TO SIX in 1855

This United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture in 1853
made an investigation AS to the
time required to produce a
bushel Of corn. They found
it required four hours and "a
minutes of human labor. From
1909 to 1912 a similar investi-
CATION was made in Mime
sofa. 7. P. Cooper, then with
the Minnesota Experiment
Station, now director of the
North Dakota Experiment Sta
ton, in summing up the re-
suits, finds that 45 minutes is
the time required to produce a
bushel of corn now, or only
one-sixth as long as in 1855. In
other words a day of human
labor now is worth more than
six times as much as in 1850,
due to the use of more and bet
ter machinery, better varieties
.ofcorn and better soil manage.

INSTITUTE IS
WELL ATTENDED

One of the most successful
teachers Institutes ever held
in the county is in session at
the School of Forestry today
and tomorrow. Over two hun
dred teachers are in attendance,
Prof. A. G. Crane of The Minot
normal school, is in charge of
the institute and is assisted by
Miss Mary Goodman, who gave
demonstration ofexercises upon
methods of instruction in the
different branches in the lower
grades. DIR. H. L. Youtz of
Willow City gave a splendid
paper on conservation of health
this afternoon.
DR.. Youtz in his address en-
phasized the importance of the
physical development as we'll
as the mental development of
the child. 1t is not expected
that the teacher will be able to
act as an expert in physical
education and it will be a long
time before we can reasonably
expect the average parent to
be able to recognize the begin
nings Of those physical defects
in children, which, i'll 50 many
cases, rob society of the useful
ness of it's future citizens,
hence there should be in every
county a trained nurse to co
operate with teachers and par.
ents, in maintaining uniform
ly high health standards, in
the schools, 1t will be found
to fully compensate, AS it is
already doing in several coun
ties in the state, for the added
expense, in the prevention of
disease and the developing of
stronger, healthier men and
women.

THE NoNpARTIsAN LEAGUE is composed of in
dependent, republican, democratic and socialist
voters in favor of good government, equal rights
to all and special privileges to Therefore
republican, democratic socialist Central
Committee has any right to speak for the Non
partisan League. Such committees have the
publican democratic socialist parties only.
The intention Of the Nonpartisan League is to get
away from partisanship. Therefore it is the duty
of every league member to support the friends of
the league in preference to the eleventh hour
verts. Here lies the danger to the life of the
league if the old style politician gets control of
the league, thereby destroying the leagues princi-
pies and usefulness.

CITING THE Law.

Jim Weeks is running for
States attorney, being placed
on the democratic ticket by the
central committee. We would
like to have Jim tell the voters
how the committee became
clothed will such authority.
Will he stake his position as a
lawyer on the positive asser-
ton that the committee had
such power? Will he cite the
section in the code where such
authority is conferred? These
questions are not vicious and
they are not inspired by big
business. Will he answer?-
Omemee Herald.
Just as Matt worried before
the primaries about the way
Lynn Fraiser became a candi-
date for governor, he is now
very much concerned as to how
Jim Weeks became candidate
for the office of States Attorney
for this county. And as he was
enlightened in the one case, I
will endeavor to throw light on
the other.
In the first place our primary
law by the act itself declares
that it shall be literally con-
strued, so that the real will of
the electors shall not be defeat
ed by any informality or fail
ure to comply with all provi-
sions of law in respect to either
the giving of any notice or the
conducting of the primary or
certifying the results thereof.
Sec. 86l Compiled laws for
1913, the same being part of
the Primary Election laws pro-
vides that should vacancy
occur in any of the offices for
which nominations are made
under this article by reason Of
resignation or death, where
there is only one aspirant for
such office, before the printing
of the primary election ballot,
such vacancy may be filled by
the regularly constituted COM
mittee of the party to which
such vacancy belongs, and no
petition or fee shall be requir-
ed. This covers the question
of vacancies in original nomi-
tons on the primary ballot.
Then Section 977 6. l.. 1918,
relating to general elections,
provides among other things,
that should any person SO
nominated die before the print
ing of the tickets or decline
the nomin alton as in this chap
ter provided or should vacan-
cy occur upon the ticket for
any other cause, the vacancy
may be filled in the manner
provided for original nomina-
tions. The manner of filling
vacancies for original nomina-
tions is plainly stated in Sec
ton S6l above referred to.
Trusting that | have made
myself sufficiently clear on the
questions asked and regretting
that lack of space forbids a
more exhaustive analysis of the
election laws at the present
time, l am,
Sincerely yours,

Get This One
Straight

Do not make any mistake in marking your
LEGISLATIVE ticket. The Nonpartisan
League has endorsed A. M. Hagan, J. c.
Miller, L. L. Stair and Nes Magnussen for
the legislature from this district. These are
the four you want to elect as your repre-
sentatives if you desire to have the program
of the League carried out by the next legsla-
ture.
Do not accept any proposition of polit
cal horse trade. The enemies of the league
cannot prevent the election of at least two of
the league candidates, and for that reason they
would gladly enter into trade to support two
of the league candidates in exchange for sup
port of H. G. Harty and c. G. Jacobson, who
are NOT LEAGUE CANDIDATES.
Bear in mind that the names of Miller and
Hagan appear in the republican column and
those of Magnussen and Stair in the demo-
cratic column.
Use the utmost care in marking this part
of your ballot, SO that you will vote YOUR
CONVICTIONS and not neutralize your vote
by voting FOR two candidates and AGAINST
two
There is no doubt about the outcome if
you vote as you WANT TO VOTE. .
