SUPERVISE STUDY,
IS THE ADVICE
OF INSPECTOR
State Inspector Edwards Says Many
Pupils Doubtless Fail Because
They Are Neglected

The public high schools of North
Dakota are showing a splendid growth
both numerically and in quality and
variety of work done--according to the
ninth annual report Of the state high
school inspector, E. R. Edwards Of
jamestown, copies Of which were re-
ceived last week.
Lack of Supervised Study
Under the caption Of "Observa-
tions" Inspector Edwards states there
is a notable lack of supervised study
in the high schools and that there is
also a very noticeable need for SUPER
vised study in the high schools. Many
pupils doubtless fail, he reports, be-
cause when they sit down to study
they soon encounter some difficulty in
the form Of something not understood,
and either become discouraged or use
so much time vainly trying to master
some one thing that other preparation
is neglected. He urged that superin-
tendents and high school principals
should, whenever possible, arrange
for some period or periods each day to
be used for supervised study. These
periods should be times for really
clearing up dificulties-not rest peri
DDS for teachers and students.
Idea Originated in Fargo
The report states that the plan was
devised and inaugurated in the Fargo
high school and junior high school by
DR.. w. E. Hoover, is worthy of COM
ment, and suggestive of what can be
done in smaller schools. Finding that
the makeup" or "help" period 2ched-
uled for the close of the school day
was not being we'll patronized and was
not giving results commensurate with
the time and effort expended, Supt.
Hoover decided to extend the school
day by one period and to take the peri

Burglars Waste Night;
Open Safe for Few Cents

Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 21.-After
spending an entire night in large de-
partment store here thieves bound and
gagged the Waterman at daylight and
made four attempts to blow open the
office safe.
The outer door of the safe was
blown to bits, but the inner one held.
The safe contained only a few cents.
The days receipts, totalling 100000,
had been stored in another strong box.
The Waterman, threatened by the
would-be burglars, led them to the
empty safe, instead of that containing
the money. They were frightened
away before they discovered their mis-
take.

is not a donation as it must all be

The Birth Of A Nation"
(By D. w. Griffith.)

While there has been q vast amount
Of comment regarding the advent Of
the " motion picture it seems to me
that there really is no occasion for sur
prise that picture should be produced
which vies with the best offerings of
dramatic stage. After all it is nothing
but the old first law of nature-the
survival of the fittest. The remainder
is purely a question of selections and
execution.
When it was first announced that we
intended to present 1.-THE Birth Of

Theatre, which had never played
"a picture attraction before, the
wiseacres Of the theatre world said it

ure dram. as ten cent proposition.
They measured everything by the
standard of price. 1t was not surprising
that they overlooked the fundamental
facts in the case and were unprepared
to pass judgment upon this undertak-
ing. But in all truth there was nothing
daring or veIturesome in it. You see
we knew what we had. That was an
advantage which the other fellow had
never taken into. consideration. =

Survey Of Road Materials
Of South Dakota is Plan.
State University Engineer Says This
Should Be The First Step.

Vermillion, Feb. 24-That there
must be thorough investigation of
road materials in South Dakota
preliminary to any comprehensive
plan for the development of the
highways of the state is the convic.
tion of Prof. J. Maughs Brown, Of
the College of Engineering at the
University of South Dakota. Little
is known at present, says Professor
Brown, about the location and ma.
ture Of the available road material
of South Dakota. South Dakota,
like most other states must make
the best possible use of it's own ma
tural resources for road building
and in order to do that the people
of the state should know what those
resources are and where they can
be found.
Gravel and sand clay surfacing
are the most practical for the roads
of the state. There is very little
broken stone within the borders of
South Dakota and concrete and
macadam are out of the question
except for very short strips. The
cost of $4,000 to $4,000 mile
for concrete makes it for the most
part prohibitlve and macadam is
only slightly cheaper when upkeep
is considered. It is difficult how.
ever to get gravel and sand clay in
some parts of the state, especially
where little or no attempt has been
made to discover or tap the depo.

The College of Engineering is at
present testing materials from diff.
ferent sections of the state and is
proposing to undertake survey
forthe definite purpose of deter
mining the location and mature of
South Dakota's road materials.
