was addressed recently sent It to a
prominent North Dakota educator,
With the following explanatory letter.
Dear Sir:
In view OF the fact that the letter
o which you refer war q circular
.tter,; sent to all persons who were
actual or tentative candidates for po-
sitions in the North Dakota normal
schools, or at least to all applicants
Tor the presidencies OF these schools,
I can hardly look upon It as q def
tnitely personal letter. For this reason
! feel the less hesttancy about send
ing you q COPY. The letter was writ
ten on official stationery Of the state
board OF. regents. but I have omitted
the heading, showing only the ad-
dress given, I had written to Mr..
Liessman on the 'misinforma ;ion''
that the Minot position would be
open. So the blank for the school
in question was filled in "'Minot," as
you will note. However, I was after
ward asked to comesto Fargo to meet
the board. which I did, but found that
Tor some reason they were consider
Ing me only in connection with the
Dickinson position, which I was not
interested in. I wish to ia that the
Doard gave me a very courteous and
reception, and that there
was nothing to their attitude to sug-
gest the sort Of thing which I had
feared might arise, in view Of Mr.. Tot
tens letter.
I have preserved the letter as a
curiosity, for it is unique in my ex-
p%erience, and several we'll known edu-
Gators who have seen it have ex-
pressed surprise that such a con-
dition would be possible. One very
eminent man borrowed it and took
a copy, as he said he wanted to ado
1T to his collection Of educational
atrocities.
The copy corresponds exactly to
the original in phraseology and pune.
I do not care what use you make
of the letter, on condition that my
name does not come into the matter
have no aspirations Of any kind ir
North Dakota, but as I am SO far re.
moved from the seat of war, I do mo-
want to become embroiled in an,
way. If the authenticity Of the letter
should be questioned, or your yer.
acity impugned. you may refer tn,
persons to me, if the reference i.
made privately and not publicly, eth.
er IN print or by word Of mouth.
80 Yours very truly,

Fargo,~N. D., Oct. 31.-To become
president Of an educational institu-
ton in North Dakota, one must bow
the knee to the state Socialist regime.
The letter signed by George A.
Totten,i member Of the North Dakota
board Of regents, at the head of this
article reveals the manner in which
the Socialist administration, not con-
tent with the furthering its propa-
ganda through ordinary channels, Is
determined to bend the entire educa-
Socialist dictators.
The letter Is directly in line with
the policy that has long been pursued
by N. c. Macdonald, in the state
graded, rural and high schools, where
the Socialist propaganda has been in
jected through the use Of examina-
ton questions.
what is Big .Biz?": What is the
N~onpartisan League y; What is
Meant by Sinister influence 2" are
samples of the questions that Mr..
Macdonald has been putting into the
school examinations as a means Of
~furthering the Socialist propaganda.
When a Slope county girl wrote, in
response to the question, What is
the Nonpartisan League?", that it
was a political party, the paper came
back from the state superintendent of
public instruction office. marked
wrong,
More Direct.
In the handling of the higher edu-
cational institutions, however, the
Socialist issue is made even more di-
rect. 1t is put up very fiatly to the
prospective applicant for the presi-
dency Of one Of the institutions Of the
state that he must not think thoughts
that al in any manne detrimental
to the Socialist propaganda.
George Totten, who signs the let
ter, is the Socialist member of the
state board Of regents who has his
headquarters at the Nonpartisan
league office in st. Paul, and it is a
remarkable commentary on the man
ner in which state business is being
carried when it is seen that Mr.. Tot
ten carries the p%ostofflce box number
of the N~onpartisan league at the head
of his letter, written on the state
board Of regents stationery.
All Are Questioned.

tablish a small plant ION the Susitna
river for handling platinum ore.
DR.. Parker's experimenting and
prospecting work took him through
the Talkeetna country, along the
Susitna and Yentna valleys. Speaking
Of the results Of his work, he said:
THE platinum is there. Most Of
the land, however, is low grade and
it must be handled in large quantities

MAYVILLE NORMAL

The students and faculty members
at the school are still under quaran-
tine for the protection Of the school
and not a single case Of influenza
on the normal grounds yet. While
new students have recently entered
the school and some have returned
after a short absence, yet the great
est of care has been exercised to see
that none come who have been ex-
posed to the disease. ~
Last Friday evening the school en-
joyed six reels of moving pictures.
Another picture program is planned
for next Saturday evening and a
number Of such evenings have been
planned for the near future.
The committee of entertainment.
consisting of Miss Hossly, Mrs. Kab-
ernagle, Miss Itchy, Miss Stella Shells
and Miss Isabel Shaw, planned and
executed an excellent evening Of fun
last Friday evening. Many stunts
were put on by the students and 9TH
ers and there vas nothing Of stiffness
about the pleasures.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rude Of Steele coun-
ty brought their daughter to enter
the normal school on October 20, and
some three or four students who
have been out a week or more for
fear the normal might have an out
break of the influenza, have returned
to classes.

Early this morning marines and coast

before any searching official inspection
parties were allowed to enter the she'll

These four. situated on the opposite
