STARTS FIELD
WORK ON ROAD
Stretchoo II Miles in Cass
County to Be Built I'm
der State Supervision

Assistant State Engineer C. j. Est
lund of Bismarck, this morning start
ed the preliminary survey Of the
meridian road in Cass county to be
built under state supervision in con-
nection with county and federal aid.
The road is about II miles in length.
The first work consists in taking
elevations, the cross-sections and 9TH
er data for the plans and specifca-
tons for construction work in which
federal aid will be given to the extent
OF so per cent of the cost Of the road.
All this preliminary work is necessary
because the newly organized highway
commission, appointed in March, has
not much knowledge of the routes
throughout the state.
The plans and specifications to be
drawn by Engineer C. ]. Estlund will
be presented to the federal road de-
partment for it's approval. One of the
chief requirements to get the ap-
prevail of the federal board on a
federal aid project is that a very
great portion OF the road must be a
federal mail route.
Assistant Engineer Estlund states
that the work of the state highway
commission has been very limited to
date because the appropriations for
expenses are short. The main work
so far has been the taking of field
observations ~.

New York. June 29.-"The opinion
OF this democratic republic remains the
most potent factor in working out the
liberation Of Ireland as we'll as the free
dom of all the other nationalities, Of
the world" -r .e.l
This was the message brought to
America by Thomas Powers C"Tay
Pay'D O'Connor a leader of the Irish
Nationalist party and member of par
Lament, who has just arrived in New
York. He is here as an official repre-
sentative Of his party to lay the present
situation in Ireland before the Irish
people of America.
The situation in Ireland" he con-,
tinued, els still somewhat confused. A
series of unfortunate mistakes end
tragic events have produced resentment
and have thrown many Of the younger
men of the country off their balance for
the moment. But this, in my opinion,
represents a mood and not settled
preference for the hopeless program Of
armed instruction over a oonstitu-
tional government"
Mr.. OConnor declared that America
would strike the decisive blow in the
war.

UNPREPARED TEACHERS
IN THE RURAL SCHOOLS
Professor Hollis Says Result Is That
n Per Cent of Rural Teachers
Hold Second Grade Certificates.

Grand Forks, n. D., June 29.-The
standardization of rural schools was
urged by Professor A. p. Hollis, insti-
tute lecturer of North Dakota, ad-
dressing the students in attendance at
the summer session of the university
Thursday morning. He explained that
for standardized school with aid, an
attendance of IS per cent Of the entire
school population, is needed. In Prus-
STA, he said, the attendance averaged
9S per cent before the war.
THE only hope for the one-room
school is in the personality Of the
said Professor Hollis. THE
state allows almost totally unprepared
teachers to go into these schools. The
result is that II per cent of the teach
ers in the rural schools in North Da-
kota hold second grade certificates. In
the city schools over 80 per cent OF
the teachers are normal graduates.
Better preparation should be required
of the rural school teachers in a state
where so much Of the population is in
the rural communities.

UNDER DULUTH ORDINANCE
Membership In Order Held Evidence
Of Undesirability as Citizen
Court Rules.

Duluth. June 29.--Membership in
the I. w. w. constitutes the crime of
vagrancy, under the emergency ordi-
nance adopted by the city council last
Saturday.
So ruled Judge w. H. Smallwood in
municipal court when he found Arthur
Thorne, secretary Of the local branch
Of the organization, guilty Of the
charge of vagrancy, brought against
him following his arrest with seven
teen other agitators last Saturday.
With his decision, Judge Smallwood
held the Industrial Workers Of the
World to be an organization which
"by word Of mouth teaches or advo-
Gates the duty. necessity or propriety
of violence or industrial strife. It is
believed that this is the first time in
this part OF the country that the T. w.
w. has been judicialIy declared an
illegal and outlaw organization.
The court finds that, beyond a rea-
sonable doubt, Arthur Thorne, both
by individual actions and as an ofi-
cial OF the T. w. W., has habitually
taught and advocated the duty, neces-
sity and propriety of violence and in
dustrial strife and that he is guilty on
q charge OF vagrancy for so doing"
declared Judge Smallwood at the close
OF the trial.
