What does the above show? 1t
shows:
/. That public money or taxes is
used to advertise a private concern.
! This discloses a connection with the
hand that wrote the law to dispose of
real estate obtained thru the high
rate-of-interest route-known as "Im-
migration Persuasion"
2. That due to the lack of state
uniform system of school books, the
Course of Study cannot be carried out
without recourse to uniformity in a
magazine.
8. That the head of the state
school system has been derelict by re-
ferring the duties Of their office to the
financial benefit of a private concern.
| (This hypothesis is based upon the
supposition that NO member Of the
"school-head' owned shares in the
private magazine.)
The writer has hopes that the new
head will divorce the school system
from the conditions referred to herein.
The number who belong to this po-
litical clique is not very large, yet a
very small number in the proper har-
ness can build powerful political
machine and as completely control the
terms as a few bankers control the
banking and railroad business of the

five books every year on professional
works, while the Reading Circle pro-
vides but for three.
Fattens Dealers Purses.
The R. G. plan is a great scheme to
fatten book dealers purses. Since
1890 the r. C. managers have requir-
ed about 60 books to be purchased by
the teachers in this state. There are
in round numbers 5000 teachers in
the state. Figuring the books at 81
each and that there were in the state
5000 teachers up to 1900, and 1000
up to 1910, and 5000 up to date. Then
they have paid out $244,000 for pro-
fessional books and none available for
the new teacher unless she purchase
more. While if the teachers had been
working under a cooperative county
library plan, they would have paid out
SEE, 900 and have 500 books in every
county on professional work. The
saving would have been $4,000.
By recalling the fact that Ex-High
officers, Ex-C Committeeman on legisla-
tive committees, and Ex-Profession-
ais have stepped OUT of their posi-
tions INTO commission-taking posi-
lions with book-trusts, the reasons for
maintaining the gouge system on
for school books, will be apparent.
Instilling Obedience to Bosses.
I have been a citizen of this state
for twelve years and never heard Of
the teachers who do the actual teach
ing, sending a petition to the legisla-
ture, nor being allowed to give their

out under the above law every year.
The Excuse" for such law is that
the "benefit is worth the expense"
Such excuse is NOT we'll taken be-
cause the rural schools do not continue
more than nine months during the
year, hence there is a three-months
vacation in which to hold training
schools for teachers.
There ought to be monthly institutes
held on Saturdays beginning in Sep
TENDER and continuing till May. In
counties having railroad facilities like
Ward, the meetings should be arrang-
ed as follows: First Saturdays in Mi
not, second Saturdays in Kenmare,
third Saturdays in Ryder. Let the
teachers elect the officers of their
meetings. Let the county superinten-
dent be ex-officio chairman OF the pro-
gram committee.
The teachers who actually teach
children have practical ideas, while
the professionals" are full of theor-
les. The situation is very much like
the so-called "'Better Farm Agent"
who is brim full Of theories, but all
the practical ideas he uses or gives
come from practical farmers.
Also organize teachers cooperative
library associations in every county,
charging each teacher 81 per annum
and whenever she has paid her mem
bership for five years make her life
member. Make the county superin-
tendent and his successors in office ex-
officio librarian. This plan will en-
able every teacher to read at least

DEATH CLAIMS MRS. A. KRUGER

BertAold Tribune: Mrs. August
Kruger, one of the most highly re-
spected residents of this community,
died at her home southwest of town
early Sunday morning at the age of
Sc. Mrs. Kruger had only been i'll
few weeks and it was not until the
last week that the family gave up
hopes for her recovery. All relatives
were Immediately notified of her cri-
tical condition and summoned to come
at once. When death came at o'clock
Sunday morning Mrs. Kruger was sur
rounded by her entire family with
the exception of one daughter, Mrs
Frank Derby of Hasty, Mimi, who
was unable to come on account of i'll
ness.
Deceased was born Dec. 81, 1860,
at Torno, Germany, where she grew
to young womanhood and was married
Nov. ID, 1880, to Mr. August Kruger.
The following year they came to Am
erica and settled on farm near Nor
ristown, Mimi, where they resided
until coming to Berthold in 1906, and
have since made their home on home
stead southwest of this city. By fru-
gality, thrift and industry Mr.. and
Mrs. Kruger have acquired consider
able property, built up comfortable
home and raised happy family of
thirteen children.
When young lady Mrs. Kruger be-
came a member of the German Luth
eran church and has ever since been
a faithful communicate of that faith.
As neighbor she was always kind
and considerable of others, lavish in
Z her hospitality and ever ready to lend
helping hand to those in trouble or
bowed down in sorrow. By reason Of
these virtues she had attracted large
number of sincere friends by whom
she was dearly loved as was attested
by the large attendance at the funeral
which was held Tuesday afternoon
from the Norwegian Lutheran church
in this city. Rev. Hartman, pastor
Of the Minot German Lutheran church
officiating.
Besides the sorrow stricken husband,
twelve children survive to mourn the
death Of kind and loving mother,
namely: Mrs. Frank Derby, Hasty,
Mimi; Mrs. E. M. Boyles and Mrs. H.
w. Taylor of Minot; Freda of Nashua,
Mont; John, Albert, Gust, Walter
Margaret, Fred, Arthur and Selma of
this city. One daughter, Mrs. E. C..
Tegmeier, died six years ago at Nor
ristown, Mimi, whose three little chill
dren have since made their home with
their grandparents.

views on needed laws. Why? Be-
cause teachers are not allowed voice
in their county organizations. 1t a
county meeting is held the leadership
is assumed or appointed. The example
set to the teachers is "Pay obedience
to the Bosses" Of course the teach
ers return to their schools in the ru-
raj districts and reflect the examples.
Under the circumstances we could not
expect of the rural teachers, nor do
they ever attempt to teach lNlTlA-
TIVE in organizing deliberate assem-
blies. In this is the connection of
"Stand Pat" politicians to teach the
boys so that when they become men
they will listen to the bosses.
A Bold Example.
The state superintendent office
sends out "Monthly Written Reviews"
to all the schools Of the state. Just
prior to Christmas last the list OF
questions sent out contained the fol-
lowing bold statement:
"NOTICE TO TEACHERS: The Sc
lections called for in these Reviews,
which are based on the State Course
of Study, are published in the CORE

The state superintendent report to
the legislature of 1915, page SO, show
ed 1900 teachers attended a one
week institute for the year of 1874,
and of course under the above law, col
lected for the time. Figuring the av-
erage salary at $55 per month, then
they drew $2O,625 for time of which
they did not teach one child one min,

teachers, as they did not help to make
such law. .
