years. Mrs. HThOmpson when home it,

seemed much improved but upou her
return to Minneapolis she found her
suffering from an acute attack of
pneumonia, from which she rallied,
but never recovered. >.
Mrs. Leta Thompson s&Stickley, al:
though she had been an invalid for
years, was long prominent in North
Dakota women's clu5 work, and her
unusual intellectual attainments made
her a leader in capital city literary
and cultural circles during her res:,
dence of several years here. She
came to Bismarck with her husband
from Kenmare, when w. A. Stickley
was made editor OF The Tribune soma
years ago, and the family continued tc
reside here until last&fall, when Mrs
'Stickley and her mother moved to
Minneapolis, where the only surv1v-

been in school. The family had plan-

He made special appeal to moth

take to send a child to be educated

that there isn't room in this country

English in primary schools, public

language should be taught only for
