INSURANCE RATING

Under North Dakota's present in
surance rating regulations, when
some. community takes a notion that
it's rates are too high and that it
would be cheaper to let 'er burn, and
when it writes the commissioner Of
insurance and says, SO, the best thing
the insurance commissioner can do is
to tell them to go to Minneapolis for
relief.
This fact was brought out recently,
when the state insurance commission
er received a petition from a number
of prominent business men of Alsen,
headed by Secretary M. J. Wipf, of
the Commercial Club, praying for a
readjustment of fire insurance rates
in the business district of Alsen.
The insurance commissioner can do
nothing, and he wrote the Alsenites
and told them so, instructing them
that at present it would be necessary
for them to take their grievance to
the general inspection bureau at Min
neapolis. And over this bureau, the
state of North Dakota has no juris-
diction whatsoever. It is to correct
this condition that the insurance de-
partment has prepared and intro
duced "a copy Of the Minnesota rate
adjustment bill, which has worked
out very satisfactorily in the Gopher
state, where it has been in effect
since 1915. Insurance companies gen
orally recognize this statute as a good
one, and it is anticipated that the
present assembly will see fit to give
North Dakota it's benefits.

NOTED CHICAGO MUSIC 4
SCHOOL ESTABLISHES
BRANCH IN DICKINSON

Louis Lehman, director Of the Dick
inson Symphony 1Orchestrn, has been
accorded additional honors the past
week, by being appointed branch di-
rector of the Sherwood Music School
fof Chicago for this locality. The APP
sspo~intnnert was made by Miss Graham
sBuisson, special registrar, sent out by
this famous school to establish branch
les at important musical centerS.
MI. Lehman is a pianist OF re-
.markable ability, and is regarded by
many authorities is one of the best
musicians in the state. His associa-
5tion with the Sherwood School will at
ford q splendid opportunity for all
who wish to obtain metropolitan
conservatory training, to Dc. 60 IN
Dickinson and earn their credits from
la high class institution Of national
srepute. y
By use Of the Godowsky method,
this school offers q musical education
with greater ease, in less time7and at
much less cost, and the interest OF the
students in the work is increased with
each succeeding lesson. !,
81 This famous school was established
to extend" theh opportunity for
metropolitan conservatory training to
music students who find it neon
venient to leave home to obtain it.
Although the extension work has
been an important feature OF n
versity study for years, the Sherwood
Music School is the only conservatory
Of established reputation in America
to adopt this plan, following the lead

cago, which was founded nearly thirty
years ago by Villa Sherwood, Amer

have graduated more successful con-
cert pianists and teachers than any
other music school.

which has branches and affiliated
teachers all over the world.
To carry out its plan, the Extension
Department of the Sherwood Music
School establishes branches in COM
munities, where the musical interest
is sufficient to warrant it. Instead OF
sending a teacher from Chicago to
take charge of the branch the policy
of the school is to select one Of the
best and up-to-date local teachers, and
put him, in charge of the work. elect
