M. G. A. building in the precedented
figures of $1S,500. This means that 78
per cent Of the entire teaching force
Individually endorsed this movement,
with an average gift per man of $6S.
The, students to the number of 416
contributed an average of $35 per man.
Out of the regular students, college,
high school and industrial course
classes, SO per cent endorsed this
, movement by personal gifts of at an
average of $35 each.
This campaign for Y. M. c. A.
building at the A. G. has begun at
home; $18,500 was raised by students
and faculty out of their own pockets,
in February 1916 before any one out
side the campus was invited to
contribute support. This is signifi-
cant, especially when one realizes
that three-fourths of the students who
contributed did SO knowing that no
direct benefit would come to them
selves, for many will be graduated
before the building is completed 1t
is the boys who will enter the college
in the years to come, that these con-
tributions will benfit.
Lately a campaign for a total of
| $4,000 for this building is meeting
with encouragement in many ways.
Notably among these successes was
| the action taken last winter by the
state board of regents. who in veiw
of the policy of the local Y. M. c. A..
charging no fee for membership, simp-
ly depending upon voluntary gifts for
support, and in planning to grant full
privileges in he new building to
! every registered A. G. student whether
he be member of the Y. NJ. c. A. or
not, voted to supply heat, light, water,
and janitor services for the building.
This was done in recognition of the
valuable services such building will
render to the student life, especially to
the welfare of the men students dur
ing their out-of-class hours.
Then in January 1917 the new
students coming III this last year gave
$4,000 as their share. And the follow
ing month of February the citizens of
Fargo contributed $4,000, which we'll
shows their interest in the young
manhood of our state.

Verona sustained about $4,000

Most Of the loss is covered by insur-

the gasoline system being used to
light the building. The blaze soon
was beyond control and appeals for

Oakes, LaMourc and Lisbon. A de-

one of our eXtinguishers on the large
Pegg truck and started for the scene.
They arrived in time to put out the
fire that had taken hold of the last
building on that side of the street and

the assistance of the bucket brigade

Eight hundred men a year, not to

students from the Christian homes in
North Dakota at the Agricultural
College than any other educational
institution in the state. The census

The Unfortunate Small Town

Typhoid fever is our most accurate
indicator of unsanitary conditions. Its
prevalence shows, more clearly than
any other single thing, that some
thing is wrong in the public health
control of the community.
1t is sort of tradition that coun-
try districts are especially healthful.
They are not. No community which
depends upon natural means" of
water supply and sewage disposal can
be safe. This is frequently shown in
resorts and summer camps even in
most isolated places.
The government mortuary figures
show that the country has more ty-
phoid deaths than the cities.
These same figures also show that
small towns are less healthful and
more unsanitary than actual rural com;
munities.
