must give US all great cause for graft
fication. say nothing of the hospital
ity Of the United States, which is pro-
verbal. need not dwell on the
boundless kindness shown US. which
was so obviously from the heart. The
American people would have given us
that same hospitality under any cir
cumstances.
Moved by Tremendous Enthusiasm
"What moves me, and all OF Britain
and France, too, is something deeper,
namely, the tremendous and sponta-
neous enthusiasm OF America for what Is
now our common cause and the deep
feelings Of sympathy which manifestly
animate the entire American com
munity. North. South. East and West.
at was not in the power OF any mis-
sion or any group of individuals 10
create that feeling. Our mission was
merely the occasion for its manifesto
ton; it gave the Americans welcome
chance to show what they felt in the
cause of world freedom. And this IS
the greatest and profoundest result OF
our trip. This is a result of which the
value cannot be measured by the mere
effect it will have on the present war,
but which will outlast many genera
tions.
"Thus the mission has been the oc-
casion of the most beneiicent develop
ment of international relations in the
history of the world. Most alliances IN
past history have been based on tenn
porary agreements between nations Tor
the pursuit Of certain aims and ambi-
tions. and therefore passed with the
passing occasion.
but the cooperation between Eng
land and America, because il is not
based on the fact that each nation
hopes to get something out of the pres
emit war. but on deep congruity OF
ideals, will endure as long as the two
nations are content TO pursue these
ideals, which, | pray God. may be for
ever.
War Carefully Studied
"The Americans have carefully
studied the origin and aims of the war,
and have come irrevocably TO the con-
clusion that with the victory of the
Allies is bound up the whole future or
civilization. They will not refuse any
sacrifices or effort which may bring a
happy frution. on which they arefon..
WINGED depends the whole trend OF
civilization.
"These arc not the fruits of the mis-
sion. but the mission gave the occasion
for their most emphatic expression. II

ourselves on the results of our efforts

Robson will be hailed into court today
Ralfson will be hailed into court today
and given a hearing.
Grand Forks residents have been
greatly aroused over the recent near
tragedy, owing to the fact that the
driver of the machine which ran down
the youngster paid no heed to his
recklessness, accelerating his machine
and speeding down the street.
1t is likely that the matter will be
cleared up at Rolfsons preliminary
examination today.

Consolidated School and
Teachers Home Planned

Wahpeton, N. D.. Jan. 10. - At a
meeting of the school board of Ante
1ope district, held at the office Of
the county superintendent of schools
at the courthouse the contract was let
to Mr.. Canning of futile, N. D.. for
the construction of fine new educa-
tionaI plant for the newly consolidate
ed district.
Antelope district has in the past
maintained four ordinary schools.
Last summer the proposition of con-
solidating these under one roof was
brought up before the voters of the
district, and it was voted to CONSOLE
date. The board which was elected
to have charge Of the affairs of the
school district is as follows: John Nc
Dougall, Herman Thiel and Carl
Mellem. A. E. Adams is clerk and
Duncan McKinnon is treasurer.
This board has devoted a great
deal of time and energy to the cause,
aqd after countless difficulties had
beep met and overcome a set of plans
and specifications which seemed to fit
the needs of the new school was ac-
cepted from Hancock Bros, archi-
tects of Fargo, and bids were adver-
tised for. On opening the bids at the
courthouse Monday, it was found
that Mr.. Canning of futile, was the
lowest bidder by considerable
margin, and the contract was award
ed 70 him. His figure was $14,986,
and the work to be finished by Aug.
10, 1917.
u, The new school house will be a
frame structure, two full stories and
full basement, all of which will be
utilized as school building. In the
basement will be located the manual
training and the domestic science de-
partments in addition to the toilets,
lavatories, boiler room, etc. On the
first floor there will be two large
school rooms a teachers room and
principals office. The second floor
will have two large school rooms,
and two smaller recitation or class
rooms. The finish will be of wainscot-
ing and plaster, with ample black
board facilities. and all modern ap-
pliances for such a school There
will be drinking fountains, and a
sanitary plumbing system throughout
the building. Thee heat will be from

a steam boiler and radiators
An attempt is now being made to
secure water from a flowing well
which is being sunk on the site of the
school house. This. will undoubtedly
be successful and at any rate, water
can be secured in the vicinity for all
purposes.
Residence for Teachers.
A new feature adopted by Ante
lope district is the provision Of u
teachers residence for the housing
of the teachers in the new school.
This will be a fine six room house
one that will do credit to any locality.
This feature has been growing popular
in many parts of the east. but has
not become very general throughout
the western states as yet. 1t is a
movement which is bound to become
popular in the near future, however,
has taken a step in the right direc-
ton by thus being one of the first
in the state to adopt the plan. 1t is
planned to have all the teachers room
in the house and probably the princi-
pal will be chosen from the ranks of
the married men, with the UNDER
standing that he is to board the 9TH
ers. However, these details have not
been decided upon and will undoubt-
trouble.
1t is expected that it will be neces-
sary to employ four teachers for the
new school.
The residence will be located upon
the same lot and near to the school
building, which will stand upon the
southeast corner of section 16, Ante
lope township, located 1-2 miles
northeast of Barney. and miles
northwest of Mooreton.
There are several village schools
in the county which have been con-
solidated with the surrounding rural
schools, but there is only one other
open country consolidated school in
the county. The new building and its
results will be watched with a great
deal of interest by those interested
in rural school progress throughout
the state.
Antelope district will bond itself
in the sum of $4,000 to raise the
new educational plant.
