NORMAL OFFER j ! ...
new CURRICULUM

Acting upon the authority of the
State Board of Regents, the State
Normal school here is announcing a
new three-year curriculum for the
training of teachers for rural schools.
This curriculum will supersede the
ten and one-half months course Of
fered heretofore.
Students who successfully complete
the three-year curriculum shall be
granted a fourth-grade elementary
certificate, and after eight months of
successful teaching experience, third
grade elementary certificate, valid for
three years, will be issued to them.
!, The work of the three-year curricu-
lum is virtually the same as that of
the first three years of the four and
five year courses. Students who have
begun the work Of any of these
courses will find their work so co-or-
dinated that no time will be lost
through any changes made in the
course of study.
One year of work completed in ad-
dition to the three-year curriculum
confers diploma, which is accredited
as a second-grade professional certi-
ficate, valid for two years and after
nine months Of successful teaching ex-
perience renewal for five years. Two
years of work completed beyond the
three-year curriculum makes this GER
tifcate renewable for life.
The Normal school recognizes that
the rural school has problems of its
own; that with the advance of educa-
ton, increasing ability on the part of
communities to pay good wages to
teachers, and the conviction that the
country child is entitled to better
schools than they have had in the
past, it should offer and the state
should require fuller preparation for
country teachers.

OPENING GUN OF
CAMPAIGN FIRED j 4:

On Sunday afternoon at the State
Normal auditorium was fired the first
gun of the campaign for the Fourth
Liberty Loan. The crowd was not
what it should have been but the
speeches given were fully up to ex-
pectation. The band played up town
prior to the meeting and then march,
ed down to the big auditorium. Hon.
A. P. Hanson, county chairman, very
nicely opened the campaign by pre-
senting the Hon. Wesley Mcdowell,
state chairman, as chairman of the
afternoon. In one of his usual elo-
quent and to the point talks Mr.. Me-
Dowell presented some views of the
needs of the war and introduced the
principal speaker Of the day, Hon.
Tracy Bangs, the silver tongued ora
tor from Grand Forks, who for long
time interested his audience in very
eloquent address of the needs of the
government in this great war. Mr..
Bangs is an exceptionally fine speak
err and his effort on Sunday afternoon
is in line with all previous efforts of
his on the public platform. He is rec
ognized as one of the best speakers in
the state.

THE KAISER

There is a man from Berlin town
Who thought he was to be
The ruler of the whole wide world,
From land to shining sea.
He sent his army finely drilled
To Belgium and to France,
He thought with such mob of men
To carry out his plans.
For he had strongly planned to reach
Within single year,
The towns Of Paris and London
Which seemed to him so near.
The first few years seemed bright in
deed,
For then they could advance;
But soon he had to change his mind
When help came to poor France
The help came from the U. S. A.,
And now the Allies fight
Together for the same idea;
For Justice and for Right.
The Allies never will give up
The big game they are in
Till they have tackled the Stars and
Stripes
On the flagstaff of Berlin.
You ask what will become of him
Who thought he was to be
The ruler of the whole wide world
From land to shining sea.
Oh, he will get his punishment
When this, his war we win,
But for the present please suggest
What would be best for him.

they returned to the city last night
and have taken apartments at the

PROF. FR0YSAA
DEAN OF MUSIC

Prof. Knute Froysaa, for II years
instructor of violin at the State Nor
NAL school, has been named Dean of
the department of music, according to
an announcement just given out:
Prof. Froysaa has been acting head of
that department since the resignation
of Dean Eugene Woodlands last
spring. His excellent understanding
of music coupled with his long ex-
perience as a conductor of choruses,
choirs and orchestras gives him excel
lent qualifications for his new posi-
ton, and Mr.. Froysaa's friends both
locally and about the state will feel
that he has received a well-merltcd
promotion.
Miss Florence Hedstrum has been
elected instructor in voice at the Nov
NAL school. Miss Hedstrum also needs
no introduction in Valley City. She is
former pupil of the department Of
music and for the past five or six
years has furthered her studies in the
east, during which time she has also
done considerable lyceum and chau-
tauqua work that has brought her the
highest concentrations from many
parts of the country. More recently
Miss Hedstrum has been an assistant
to William Clare Hall in his Chica-
20 studio. She is the possessor OF
soprano voice of the first quality and
her permanent engagement at the
Normal school will mean real ac-
QUESTION to the musical work of the
community.
Mrs. Aslaug Olson Wright, Prof. Il.
S. OLSON, and Miss Lillian G. Hea!!y
will continue their excellent work in
the piano department. Mrs. Wright,
since the close of the spring term,
has been associated with Glenn Dill
lard Gum of Chicago. Prof. OLSON
will also have charge Of the institu-
ton band as heretofore, while Dean
Froysaa will conduct the Normal
school orchestra.
Miss Josephine Wright will con-
tinue in the capacity of assistant 70
Miss Amidon in the department of
public school music. Private instruc-
ton in all branches of music, as we'll
as class instruction will be offered as
in the past without increase in prices.

SOAPS OF THE EAST.

L. Lodlan, in the Scientific Ameri.
can: Floating soaps are not an Amer
lean or European invention. The
Levant has had them since the re-
mote past, buoyancy being secured
by incorporating air in the mobile hot
mass just before cooling and mould
ing.
The harem soaps from STEAMBOAT
are always ornamental, of mild cedar
like fragrance, and made in small
shapes to fit conveniently the hands
of their users. There are score Of
other forms of these seraglfo soaps
stars, crescents, floral stamp outs,
twists, ovals, Arabic inscriptions,
notices for the faithful, educational
series, etc. All are pure olive oil
soaps. The soap Of the zenanas OF
Hindustan-in Levantine and the far
eastern countries, whatever is used
in the quarters of the fair is the cri-
terion for excellence, ranking with
the boudoirs and salons of Paris-is
slightly larger, unperfumed, made
from copra oil stock, quite plain, and
shaped uniformly in hemisphere.
The chief characteristic is the dazz-
ling snowy Wilderness, such as only
the use of an oriental copra oil can
give to soap.

competent to discuss the submarine situation.
Warnings there have been that it would not do

there was pressing need for ships to meet the

order has put an end to the volun-

fashion. The fallacies and failures

coup de grace. The government,
wisely recognizing the national

to stimulate recruiting, has Its men
