Noted Artists Engaged
for Season Of 1918

Engagements have been made with
six noted artists to appear on the Pre-.
Festival concert course TOR the year
1918.
The first Of the series, Cornelius
Van Vliet, is Dutch 'cellist Of wide
spread reputation. being permanent
soloist with the Minneapolis Sym
phony orchestra.
Sascha Jacobsen, the Russian violin
ist, whose meteoric career has called
to focus the attention of the east,
appeared as soloist with so famous an
organization as the New York Sym
phOny Orchestra year before he
graduated from the Institute of Musi-
cal Art, New York. His repeated bril-
liant successes as "a recital artist
indicates that he is a, musician to
be reckoned with. When a violinist
is compared with Kreisler and Kube-
lik we know that he is factor in the
musical world.
Augusta Lenska Prima Donna Con-
tralto, is an artist Of world wide fame
She received her musical education
abroad completing it in Berlin, where
she studied with the famous baritone,
Karl Meyer. Her decided success at
her debut as artist in New York in
1914 proved that the American public
agrees with the praise that Europe
and South Africa have bestowed upon
this unusually gifted artist. Her rep
ertoire includes parts from over thirty
operas, and oratorios, The Messiah,
Creation, Elijah, etc., and classical and
modern songs in English, French, Ital-
ian and Russian. Mile. Lensko has
been connected with the Chicago and
Philadelphia Opera Co., in this coun-
try.
The Canadian baritone, Marley
Sherrie will be the fourth number OF
the course. Since his first profession
al work some years ago he has COM
manded the attention of music lovers
throughout Canada and his first tour
of America is sure to be successful
Rita Fornia, Prima Donna Soprano
of the Metropolitan, New York, is
Red Seal artist with the Victor. 1t
will be Of interest to Valley City to
know that Miss Josephine Wright Of
this city has been engaged as accom-
PIANIST to this artist for her northern
tour during the next season.
In answer to the many requests of
the past few months, May Doelling,
pianist, of Chicago, has been re-engag~

art this winter will welcome most
heartily May Dealings second appear

Mrs. S. H. Cook, Of this city, is gain
ing considerable favorable comment
in her work as director Of physical edu-
cation for women in Fargo college.

that college produced musical COM
edy, entitled 1.-The Isle of Chance"
The Fargo papers say: "The comedy
was one of the best yet put on at this
college, and one Of its big features was
the attractive dancing, for which spe-
cial costumes, that gave almost the
effect of masked ball scene, had been
procured. The dancing was coached
by Miss Marjorie Cook, director of ply
steal education at the college, and ex-
ceptionally good results had been Sc.
cured. Miss Cook is also president of
the junior class. Miss Cook selected
the music and designed as we'll as

Modern Woodmen Want 1918
State Camp for Valley City

The Valley City camp of the Modern
Woodmen will send a delegation to the
state camp at Fargo with instructions
to bring home the meeting for next
year or die bravely in the attempt.
OF course we don't expect any deaths
in this connection, for Valley City's
reputation as convention city will
probably make the endeavor an easy
victory.
Barnes county has II camps, with a
membership of sos at the present time.
The camps are growing steadily, the
Litchville bunch making an especially
fine showing lately, and their support
can be depended on when the big
meeting comes off the first week in
May.

HASTINGS ELECTS OFFICERS
OF ITS COMMERCIAL CLUB

Hastings Times: The regular
monthly meeting of the Commercial
club was held Monday evening. Elec.
tion Of officers was held, with the fol-
lowing results: President, C. T. Pet
erson; vice president, J. D. McFarlane;
secretary, C.. F. Norberg; treasurer,
Pete Gunderson. The president and
treasurer were reelected, the first by
a large majority and the second upan-
imously, to the Offices they have filed
for several years. The week Of April
% to % was designated as Cleanup
Week, when an effort will be made
to get rid of all the unsightly and dis
ease breeding accumulation of the past
year. Now that the village has access
to dumping ground and there is a
good demand for scrap iron for war
material, it ought to be easy to &C
cOmplish the desired result The an
nual resolutions to remove all hitch
ing posts from the main street were
passed for the third or fourth time. 1t
seems that these resolutions have been
misinterpreted in the past, for any
one with half an eye can see that there
are more posts on the main street
than there were year ago. It is un-
derstood, however, that the word has
been made final and the posts will be
summarily elected. Ludwig Larson, c.
F. Norberg and O. T. Olson were ap-
pointed as a committee to work for the
location of the Aberdeen trail through
this town. The matter Of street cross
ings was brought up and the town
board r0DOrted that the crossings or
dered last fall would be begun as soon
as possible this spring. The railway
company will be asked to fill in be-
tween the main track and side track,

Teaching Profession Never Had
Better Opportunities Than Now

That there are few better opportun-
tiles open to young men and yiung
! women today than in the teaching
! field was again shown at the State
Normal school here, where requests
| for 145 teachers have been received
in the last few weeks to take posi-
tons in the schools of the state
Some of these requests were for
teachers to begin work at once, 9th
ers with the opening of school next
fall. .#.
OF the eleven members of the
March class every one VINO wished
a teaching position is already at
work in his or her own schoolroom.
More requests for teachers are being
received each day. Notices Of elec-
tons are also coming in daily.
The opportunity in the teaching pro-
fession for young men and young
women may be further seen from the
report of the Survey Commission
which has found that the aggregate
number Of graduates each year from
the Normal schools in this state is
only one-eighth Of the number of
new teachers needed annually.
Members of the March class who
have taken positions are:
Ellen holm, Twin Valley, MIMI.
seventh and eighth grades at Caring
ton.
Grace Forbes, Washburn, primary
grades at Golden Valley.
Mabel Vail, Crystal, upper grades
at Bartlett
Julia Stack, Valley City, rural
school near Jessie.
Walter CRANES, Valley City, prin-
cipal at Jessie.
Mabel Zimmerman, McHenry, High
school at Garrison.
William Barr, Valley City, substi-
tute work at Buffalo.

class who have signed contracts for
teaching positions to begin next
September are:

ond grade at Plentywood, Mont.

termediate grades at Stanton.
Ora Reilly, LaMoure, third and
fourth grades at Stanton.

mediate grades at Havana.

from $50 to $50, depending upon their
previous teaching experience and the
length Of the course pursued at the
Normal school, Salaries for tho
young men range from $500 to SIPS
a month.
Probably in no other field of en-
deavor can the high school graduate
of the state perfect himself in pro-
fession as pleasant. honorable, and
lucrative, as by attendance at the
Normal school.
