ing these bills-and if you have child
rem in school you will have no ex-
cuse if you are not-you will notice
a marked attempt to raise the stand
ards; the standard necessary for en-
trance to normal schools; the stand
ard required of teachers; of county

the right direction to be gradually
worked out as the state grows older.
Thru vocational training, which has
not received its share of attention, the
value of the schools to the average
citizen would be greatly increased.
The state superintendent, among
many splendid recommendations, re-
commends the plan for the standard
ization of the rural schools submitted
by the Washington Educational asso-
citation. Last year the committee sent
a strong plea to the clubs to help the

WOMAN'S CLUB NOTES

Inasmuch as our state federation
dues are to be paid next month, and
they are levied per capita, it is very
much desired that all ladies wishing
to retain their membership, and who
have not paid their dues, will do so at
the next meeting, which will be Feb.
9, and will be under the auspices of
the Literary department.
The Current Events department
will meet with Mrs. Shanafelt on the
10Th. The papers will be on Switzer-
land and all members are requested
to bring in any items Of current in
terest which they may find on that
country.

To the Clubwomen of Washington:

To the Clubwomen of Washington:
Educational matters are attracting
more attention in the state of Wash
ington right now than ever before in
its history. IF half the bills before
the present legislature become laws
many changes will take place in our
educational system as we'll as in our
institutions of higher learning.
We have always prided ourselves
upon the interest women take in the
schools: the reforms they have
brought about or supported; the evils
they have eradicated; in fact, the ac-
tive encouragement they have given
all along the line. ..<....s,
But a most surprising thing to this
committee is the lack of interest
among the clubs in this really vital
question. There is strong tendency
on the part of the clubs to leave all
this work in the hands of other or
CARNATIONS but there are phases of
the question that are not considered
by any other active organization and
that we should not neglect. We saould
either move that the educational de-
partment of the State Federation be
abandoned, or we should give some at
tention to the work as clubs.
Individually, many club women
are intensely interested in the present
situation. An attempt is being made
by this legislature to remedy some
evils, to introduce new features, to lay
foundation for the future. The re-
port of the Special Educational Sur
vey committee has been given at this
session and many bills have been in
troduced to carry out the recommen-
dation suggested. We should neither
approve nor condemn the findings of
this committee unless we make at
least a cursory study of the report.
Have you ,lone so?
Many other bills are, of interest to
you. Do you know the provisions of
the bill in regard to the eighth grade
examinations?
The bill which gives the county SUI
perintendent of schools salary in
some way commensurate with the
work required and which raises the
qualifications for the Office is also i'm
portant.

rural schools, to arouse them to the
Importance Of Standardization along
the lines suggested by the w. e. A.
and the plans then being perfected by
the state Office. We would like re-
ports from the clubs. Will you not
write us about what you have done to
help one rural school? In many clubs
the first meeting in February is still
observed as education day. You never
had so much material from which to
draw for real live discussion as now.
Do not fail to take advantage of it.
And please tell this committee all
about it.

that Sheehan was dead altho the body
was still warm and death had occurred
only few minutes before. A small
vial with a poison label was found
near the body and Coroner Distad

certain the cause of death. The en-

THE NEW YORK DEPT. STORE
The Big Store On the Corner

for having known Little Mac-the
sunniest character it has ever been
my lot to meet-and when his good
wife called to my mind the fact that
I must fulfill my bond with my old
friend, wondered if I could be equal
to the occasion. The bond was simply
this-that in event he should die first
| would write his obituary and if l
should die frst-well, I can see the
twinkle in his eye now as he said,
Suffering Jericho, but I'll give you
some sendoff, old man." And now the
time has come. Today stood at his
grave. My friend is dead, and in pay
ing tribute to his memory, am but
fulfilling the bond.
I have watched the wicket-gate
close behind many pilgrim, but as
I stood with barred head beside Lit
tie Macs grave, the thought came to
me that never before had mans
life been so aptly portrayed in death
as was his. Mac never protested any
great claim to religion except the
brotherhood of man, although he was
a member of the Presbyterian church.
The last rites were performed by the
Masonic Order to which he belonged,
the Knights Templar being in charge
Of the funeral. The services were
held in the Presbyterian church and
here at the grave Father Mcleod, a
priest of the Catholic church, paid
short tribute to his dead brother.
Creeds. sects and all material things
were forgotten by the congregation Of
genuine mourners who gathered at
the grave-men and women from ev-
cry walk of life, followers of many
faiths, yet all with one great throb-
bing heart Of sympathy and sorrow
because the little man whom they had
known and loved in life was dead.
I have never known greater dis
ciple of sunshine and happiness than
Jack Mcleod. His CHEEKY greeting
put optimism into every heart with
which he came in contact. His vo-
cabulary was as unlimited as it was
picturesque, and I always thought of
him as an unbound edition of cheer.
He was product of the frontier. He
knew North Dakota history and men
and he loved the old state as only
the frontiersman can who has strug-
gled through the lean years. with
faith undaunted, from territori hard
ships to the plenty of developed state
hood. His pen was ever ready to de-
fend, to boost, to sing the praises of
his adopted state. He loved every acre
of it's sunny soil, every hilltop upon
which the morning breaks, every vale
that cradles the evening shadows, and
every stream that laughs back the
image of the sun. Column for col
umn and word for word, I honestly
believe Little Mac poured forth more
optimism and did more real boosting
for North Dakota than any ten edi-
tors in the state. He worked hard,
played hard and sung his song of
cheer necessarily. Honorable and
honest to fault, square as a die, a
| true friend and worthy enemy. That
is the story his life has told.
! Just as there are depths to the
ocean to which the plummet will not
descend, so there are sentiments in
the heart sometimes that cannot be
measured or expressed. It was not my
