FAILURE COMES FROM
LACK OF KNOWING HOW

Recalling that only forty years ago
bill was introduced in the Mime
sofa Legislators for the abolition of
the normal schools in the gopher
state, and that at that late date high
er education and the necessity for
the preparation of elementary school
teachers was regarded doubtful ex-
pertinent, DR.. Joseph Kennedy, ad
dressing the North Dakota Education
association here this afternoon de.
clared the preparation of elementary
school teachers a modern develop.
ment. u,
"Snch bill could not be introduced
or entertained for a moment today"
said DR.. Kennedy, referring to the
Minnesota measure. "The normal
schools have been tried and have not
been found wanting. They stand as
the exponent and as the agency of
professional teaching in the element
airy field; and it is said that the best
teaching today is done in the element
airy schools -sa
"The normal schools having set the
pace and the standard for profession.
al teaching in elementary schools,
men began to inquire why high school
teachers should not also be prepared
for their important and complicated
function. There have been from the
beginning of this movement some who
have opposed it. They have claimed
that teaching is an art which has to
be learned by practice alone; they
have maintained that the teacher Is
entirely born and in no sense made
that the art of teaching, in fact, runs
in the blood 1t reminds one of the
story of the man who had wooden
leg and who said that both his father
and his grandfather had a wooden
leg and that he believed it ran in the
blood.
North Dakota, always educationally
progressive, should set its foot down
and say: If you do not prepare for
your work, we do not presume to ap
ply for admission at the doors OF
our profession What is worth doing
is worth doing well, and it is too seri-
Gus a matter to allow mere playing
with a profession which has at heart
the up-building of the lives Of our boys
and girls.
I'm my opinion, SO out Of 100 fail
ures in teaching come not from a lack
Of knowledge in the subject-matter,
but from mistakes and blunders on
the pedagogic side. The real teacher
who is alive, active and energetic is
one around whom the community in
some measure will rev0lve; the real
teacher is a live wire,' and a com.
munity will be energized in various
ways by such teacher"

Tomorrow
GENERAL LINES
UP NUMBER OF WITNESSES

On request of w. H. Stutsman, form
err chairman of the North Dakota rail
way commission, and who is acting as
counsel for Secretary Of State Hall,
the preliminary hearing Of the latter
plicity in the embezzlement OF approx
mately $4,000 of the states automobile
registration funds, scheduled for Sat
urday morning, has been postponed un
til a week from Saturday, Novem-
Der 10.
Attorney Stutsman, under whom
Secretary Of State Hall served as Sec
rotary OF the railway commission prior
to his election to his present office,
five years ago, did not learn OF the
charge against Hall until SO recently
that he could not postpone hearing
which he already had scheduled for
arson tomorrow. He presented these
facts this morning to Attorney Cen
eral LANCER, who is handling the pros.
ecution OF Hall and E. M. Walla, clerk
in the registration department, and
the hearing was set over week.
The array Of counsel in this action
promises some interesting develop.
ments at the preliminary hearing, and
in district court, should the case ever
get that far. Wallas preliminary
examination has been set for Novem-
Der Z in Police Magistrate Eieckreids
court. LANCER yesterday subpoenaed
a number Of witnesses. Secretary of
State Hall this morning stated he had
not determined his course of action,
and that the matter rested entirely
with Mr.. Stutsman. The latter, hav-
ing only come into the case, had moth. !
ing to state today.
Conjecture is rife as to what lie;
behind the Nonpartisan league attack
on Hall. He was nominated and elect
ed as Nonpartisan league candidate |
for secretary of state and so far as |
known has consistently played the
game with the league.

A Case of Real Patriotism.

Muskogee, Okla. July 18-BelieV-
ing that the use of a cork leg should
not prevent him from serving his
country, John Franklin walked over
fifty miles from farm near Wilbur
ton, to this city to apply for enlist
ment in the United States Marine
Corps.
Franklin had spent two months
ploughing the fields previous to his
long walk, and supported himself on
the hike by working at odd jobs
along the way. He surprised the Ma
rine Corps medical examiner by walk
ing without the slightest sign of
lameness.
Although Franklin expressed the
opinion that his cork leg should be
considered handy life preserver in
case of submarine attack. he was
not accepted.

Pershing on Sugar Ration.

London, July 1S:-Major General
Pershing, commander Of the Ameri-
can expeditionary force in France,
seated for tea on the beautiful Thames
Terrace of the House of Commons
with Colonel Astor as his host had
an experience in England's war ra-
tioning when he found that he could
not have sugar in his tea and on his
strawberries as well.
You may have only one portion
of sugar. two-sevenths of an ounce" !"
the waitress informed him with q
quaint air of preciseness and the Gen.
eral promptly chose sugarless straw
berries, remarking that the sun, as
though to compensate, had sweeten-
ed the strawberries so we'll that the
sugar was not essential.
In the bounteous times of peace,
the House of Commons waitress used
to trip around the Terrace during
the fine June afternoons with big
bowls of white powdered sugar and
lavish jugs of cream. Now the sugar
is strictly rationed, and the amount
of cream that may be used is limited
to one small measured portion for
each person.

In thy bed beneath the sod;
Where there are no pain and heart

Many pains thou didst bear;
But at last thy time was ended,
On this earth of sin and suffering"
Daily, will strive to do
All thy teachings and commands;
And for thee will ever pray
That thy soul may rest in glory"
Always faithful, loving and true.
