STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
July IL, 1917

The lecture on "The Downfall of
Russian Autocracy" given by Doctor
Jerome Raymond OF the University of
Chicago was attended by fair sized
audience in the Normal school gym
nasium. 1t is most timely topic
and it was given an attention turnout
that plendid discussion and presen-
tation of the subject deserved. Doc
tor Raymond drew his conclusions
from personal observations in that
country as we'll as from extensive
reading of Russian literature and his
tory.
Miss Cockburn has organized sew
eral community canning and drying
clubs in different parts of the city in
conjunction with the City Beautifying
League. She is also working with
the seventh and eighth grade girls of
the Model School, and with members
of the city Y. w. C. A. at stated hours.
All are welcome to attend any or all of
these meetings. There is no fee at
tached as it is considered very i'm
portant feature of community work in
connection with the Normal Summer
School.
Under the direction Of Mr.. Geo. E.
Mueller and Miss Hover of the De-
partment Of Physical Education

class in swimming has been organized
for the Summer School students. The
first lesson was given to an enthusi
astic group on Thursday evening in
the gymnasium. As soon as the
principles have been outlined the class
will meet twice week at one of the
park bathing beaches.
On Wednesday and Thursday morn
lings at Assembly, Mr.. Goddard, super
intendent of the Crosby schools pre-
scented the subject Of Education in
Russia. This subject is Of especial
interest to the teacher, as Mr.. God
dard showed the Russian system to
contain the extremes-the best in edu-
cation and also the poorest in educa-
Ition--the latter however being as
might be expected in an autocracy,
get-and only the poorest type of
school is allowed the masses. The
world may well watch with keen
sympathy what the development will
be under the new regime.
Mr.. Warren w. Tolles of Austin,
Mimi, is in the city for the week,
visiting his sister, Miss E. M. Gill of
Williston who is a member of the
Summer School faculty. Mr.. Tolles
is musician of unusual ability having
been choir director in Chicago and St.
Paul before taking up the work at
Austin, where he has also organized
orchestras and bands. Mr.. Tolles is
a tenor-and has come to Minot with
a view of locating here and establish
ing studio of music if such seems
desirable upon looking over the field.
Miss Elsie J. Cook arranged for a
picnic party for the members of her
advisory group on Wednesday after
noon. The party went up the river
by boat and enjoyed delightful lunch
at Oak Park at six o'clock.
The school gardens are yielding nice
quantities of radishes and lettuce in
spite of the many draw backs Of the
season. The pupils in Miss McCul-
loch's room harvested during the week
as did also the primary pupils directed
by Miss Rud.
Miss Rud, principal of the Model
school succeeding Miss Miller recently
resigned, has purchased the Sheridan
property off Fifth Ave-. N. w. With
her sister who will teach in the city
schools the coming year, Miss Rud
plans to occupy the place the coming
year.
Word has been received from Presi-
dent Crane enroute to New York. At
the date of writing the party was at
Meadsville, Penn, where they had
spent the Fourth. He reports a pleas
ant trip turnout.

Teaching homing pigeons as a
means of conveying messages between
military stations of the United States
is not being neglected. The picture
shows two Of the birds now being
trained at an eastern army reserva-
ton, with their soldier instructor. The
government has put in training many
thousands of homing pigeons. The
birds when trained have flying ra-
dius of 100 to 500 miles, according to
weather They are sent out with
aeroplanes or motorboats of the mos
quito fleet and when released carry
messages home at the rate of 1000 to
$500 yards a minute. In aviation
work the birds are used as emergency
messengers.
