The pastors and Sunday school SUI
perintendents and other officers Of
Fargo and Moorhead were urged to
send to the secretary OF the associa-
ton a list of the officers and teachers
in order that the list OF committees
might be filled at the next meeting Of
the executive committee.
A committee of Secretary Garrison,
Rev. H. III. Frost and Rev. e. G. Ford
was named to find out IL 1t would not
be possible to set the convention to
begin one day later owing to con-
fiict in the opening date OF the con-
vention with the slast day OF the Nor
wegian Free Lutheran convention.
Both organizations desire to use the
auditorium and an effort will be made
to get the Sunday school meeting
started day later.

Are We PreyinclalY

q. p. in Poetry: We need standards
of comparison. All excellence has not
risen out of one anthill. America Is
full of provincial people. who do not
know that they are provincial; even
though they have never stopped to in
quire whether there are peculiar func-
tions appertaining to provincials, and
particular opportunities afforded by the
very fact of provincialism, or whether
it is a fiaw to be. perhaps in part. over
come.
We must try to think, at least a lit
tie, about civilization, Capitalization
and it's possible functions, the difreren-
tiation of individuals. and the function,
advantage or disadvantage of such diff
Termination.
We should read De Gourmont, De
Goncourt. We should not assume that
Christ knew more than Confucius until
we have read Confucius. We should
mistrust the local parson and the local
professor, remembering that lots OF
people. not SO long ago. were brought
up to believe in Carlyle and Macaulay.
Nor should we assume that Darwin said
the last word, or that Christianity is
the religion Of all the world.

GOVERNMENT Will AID
Il. S. CADET COMPANY.
III 100 students Sign UP for Years
Work Arms and Equipment
Will BE Furnished.

Mai. NJ F. Steele has received COM
municatton from the war department
stating that should 100 men be signed
up for one years instruction, the fed
eral government would furnish the
equipment and arms and, IL possible
would supply an officer or non-commis-
stoned officer as instructor for high
school cadet company.
The inquiry made by Major Steele
is the result of an application by nifty
boys OF the high school for the forma-
ton of a cadet company, which was
presented to the board of education last
Wednesday. The board favors the pla u
if it can be accomplished without too
great expense to the city.
Major Steele said that if possible the
new Springfield rifle will be issued by
the government, but in case this cannot
be done, the Krag-Jorgenson will be
supplied for drill purposes, and one
Springfield for each fifteen men Will De
supplied for use on the rife range.
1t is not likely that the proposed
company can be formed till next spring.
