On Democracy

Democratic Ieals in Literature"
is the title of most timely bulletin
issued by the department of litera-
ture of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs (Mrs. True Worthy
White, Arlington Heights, Mass,
chairman.) The Democracies of
Greece and Rome, and the Hebrews,
the ideals of the middle ages; of
France and OF America; democracy
in poetry and in society, in the
school and the. drama, are used in
order to bring home to us what is
the great meaning Of our world re-
sponsibility today.
In her introduction, Mrs White
says:
I'VE are in the midst of a titanic
struggle symbolized by the word de-
mocracy., When this symbol passes
current among us do we have a clear
realization Of what it stands for? Is
it, to our minds, self-government? Is
it popular suffrage? Is it equality
in the law, in opportunity, in respon-
sibility? Is it social justice? Is
democracy an objective ideal2 Is it
a state Of mind?T Is it character
No dream Of mankind has been
more precious, no vision more ten

FORTNIGHTLY CLUB MEMBERS FAVOR
SCHOOL OF MOST MODERN EQUIPMENT

The members Of the Fortnightly
study club of Fargo went unanimous
ly on record at their last meeting.
Monday afternoon of this week. as
favoring the erection in Fargo Of a
high school building of the most
modern and completely equipped
type.
Discussion Of the school building
question arose at n round table ses-
sion at which various topics Of civic
interest were introduced. Some of
the members spoke on the express
ed intentions of some townspeople OF
not voting for the proposed school
bonds. They reported that among
some of the arguments advanced
against voting for the bonds was
that in early days many Fargo
tOwnspeople who have had success
full careers had no such schooling ad-
as are now proposed, and
that no such outlay Of money for edu-
eating the young people of the city
Is necessary now. Some got their
education in a one-room schoolhouse,
was a portion Of this argument.
In answer to such arguments, the
Fortnightly members were Of one
mind that there is no more reason for
tis young people OF To-Day having to
put up with inferior schooling ad-
vantages than there is for people to
live in houses Of the kind in which
many of the older residents were
reared. Some of the OBJ
jectors to the proposed school bonds,
it was pointed out, now enjoy all of
the most modern conveniences in
their residences, and the Fortnight
ly club women contend that the
schools should not be allowed to go
back any more than should living
conditions.
An answer to the argument that
such a high school building as has
been proposed would impose fin
ancial hardship upon the taxpayers
Of the city, was met with statistics
showing that only about one-third
of the taxes of the Fargo district are
spent for school purposes, and that

years., will increase the tax only 3
mills. To at least such extent the
young people of the city are entitled
to the most up-to- date school equip
ment, the FortnightIy members con-
tend.
The Fortnightly members as a
club have long been interested in
this school improvement question,
and some two years ago, even before
the Fargo high school building burn
ed, they held a meeting TO discuss the
high school needs of the city. At the
meeting last Monday they voted to
do all they could to bring before the
people of Fargo the need Of new
high school building Of the most
completely equipped type possible,
for Fargo.

Raney librarian Of Johns Hopkins

DR.. Putnam, librarian Of congress,

Of books will need to be purchased in
England, because Of the difficulty of

large powers to the foreign represen-
