CENTRAL SCHOOL NOTES

A spirit of Thanksgiving pervades
in all the rooms. Mrs. Ouren's room
makes your mouth water with rep
resentations of all the good things
for Thanksgiving dinner. The pu-
pills are joyfully preparing their
Thanksgiving programs to be given
by all the grades gathered together
in three fold groups in the second,
fourth and sixth grade class rooms,
respectively.
Mrs. M. L. Kelgerson and little
daughter "Patty" were very pleasant
visitors in the fifth grade on Wednes-
day of last week.
The following new students have
entered. school during the past two
weeks: John, Marie, Peter and Mable
Kavanaugh, Ellis, Nelson, Leon and
Loretta HIM, Rocil'a Him., Joseph
Morinville, Dora and Pearl Peterson,
Jean Nelson, Neva Trent, Carl and
Robert Kavanaugh, Margareta Keep
lin, Leonard Peterson and Lee Sprin-
kle. The enrolment in the different
grades at present are ais follows:
Sixth, 80; Fifth, 80; Fourth -; Third
33; Second, 25; First, AZ.
Much interest is shown by the pu-
pills Of the third grade, in their at
tendance contest. Each row having
perfect attendance for a week is re-
warded a star on the black board and
woe to the one who is responsible for
the loss Of it.
The fifth grade has started another
contest in spelling. This time the
losers must each invite one of the win
ners to a treat Of some kind at the
end Of the month.
The attendance record in the fifth
grade is poor and parents should see
to it that the children are not kept out
without a very important reason.
The fifth grade is trying to keep
their own record in behavior. Fol-
lowing the example cf Benjamin
Franklin thev keep a note book with
all their faults for each day recorded
with attempted improvements for the
next day. It works like magic and
that it does not as rule encourage
d'rhonestv is proved by the fact that
when asked at the end Of the last week
how manv had perfect record for
week, only three out Of the thirty
two put in that claim; and still out
of the twenty-nine who pleaded guilty
only eleven had been seen by the
teacher as having broken any rule,
and most Of those Of small conse-
qnence.

In addition to these expenses incur

SO probable exrenee of administration

To meet the Liabilities only 25c an
acre has been r~ade against the crop
acreage not withdrawn. This will be
in addition to the flat tax Of &c an
acre on al til'ahle lands. Our records
as returned by the assessors show that
12.467.1 130 acres re-~ained under the
insurance and would be subject to the
assessment of 25c per acre.
Unti'l~d J.ards Exempt
There is 28,016 456 acres classed as
tillable land. subject to the Sc fax.
thus bringing revenue of $8AO 493.
It ray appear that a levy Of 25c an
acre borne in mind that the reported
eroD acreage is likely to be greatly
reduced from present figures by rea-
son Of the fact that many farmers
failed to put into crop the acreage in
terded and listed on account Of the
drouth. etc, but neglected to have such
area withdrawn before the 18th Of
June. Any clair ant for exemptions Of
the indemnity tax on these grounds,
must make application therefor to the
county commissioners. where TIE land
is located. This is according to the rul-
ing cf the attornev general.
Owing to the great volu-'e Of busi-
ness, it is generally believed that the
losses were heavy but II am of the
oninion that it was perhaps only a
fair average season. and that we
should be prepared for more severe
tests to come.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Collections for the Roosevelt fund
have been cor,nleted and the sum re-
allied in the high school was twelve
dollars and thirty-five cents. This
money consisted entirely of voluntary
subscriptions, the actual collecting be-
ing in the hands of Alfred Odegard.
Liquid grief pervaded the west side
of the High School building on the
first day of work following Thanks
giving holidays. The cause of all the
bursting of a radiator which had not
been placed at the right angle for the
water to drain out. Consequently,
when the intense cold snap came, the
water that collected caused trouble.
Other radiators on the same side of
the house also froze, but did not burst.
With the kind assistance of Mr.. R. B.
Smith, the radiators have been levelled
and it is hoped that no more catastro-
phies need occur.
The Senior Class entertained the
High School assembly last Tuesday
with a varied program consisting of
solos, an original poem and a newspa-
per, duet and ensemble singing.
The second six weeks period of
school work has finished and the
grades were given out on Wednesday.
Only six weeks time remains before
the end of the semester.
The first basket ball game of the
season was played THANKSGIVING af-
ternoon between the Forestry Normal
School and Bottineau High School.
The score stood in favor of the High
School team during most of the game,
but the final score stood % to 21 in
favor Of the Normal School quintet.
The game though lacking in the pre-
cision and speed which will undoubted-
ly be attained with more practice,
showed great possibilities on the part
of both teams. An interesting basket
ball season is to be expected.

FORESTRY NORMAL NOTES

A program will be presented by the
English Club on Thursday evening at
eight o'clock at the Normal School
Attorney j. J Weeks will give the
principal address and there will be
other numbers including music. The
public is cordially invited. The pro-
gram given few weeks ago did not
begin quite on time. It is planned to
begin on time The doors will be clos
ed at eight and late comers will be
admitted between numbers.
The Winter term opened Monday Of
this week. A number of adjustments
have to be made with the daily pro-
gram of classes on account of the
fact that all advanced students in the
normal school work must begin their
work of observation and participa-
tion at the Central school and Junior
high Last year there were five stu
dents doing this work. This year
there are seventeen Two Of these
will work in the Junior high school
grades and fifteen at~the Central
School, The critic or room teacher
will have direct oversight of this OBJ:
servation and practice work. The
Director of Training will assist the
critic teachers and exercise general
supervision over this work. Student
teachers will not be permitted to con-
duct classes until they have shown
that they are quite ready for such re-
sponsibility. First they are required
to do observation work and discuss in
telligently the work observed. Any
body who can analyze correctly the
classwork that has been observed and
can discriminate it's strong and weak
features and can plan lesson day
after day which if carried out would
be good work, will be ready to under
take some student teaching. Some OF
the practice teachers have had year
or more of teaching experience and
will be able to begin student teaching
very shortly. Others will be obliged
to spend two weeks or more in obser-
walton before beginning the teaching.
Parents or other friends Of the school
children should take up with the room
teacher or Director of Training, Miss
Wieman, any matter about which they
feel dissatisfied in connection with
the work of the student teachers. Ed
ucational experts quite universally
testify that practice teaching in any
school is decided benefit to both
pupils and teachers. The student
teaching to begin soon gives every
promise this year of being we'll done.
It is to be done by a group of good,
hardworking, and competent students,
under very competent guidance from
the critic teachers, and the Director of
Training.
The school continues to enroll new
students. The total enrolment is now
approaching the 100 mark.
That the Normal School basketball
team will be winner this year was
shown on Thanksgiving afternoon
when with very little preparation they
defeated the strong team at the high
school % to 81. It was too bad that
most of the students Of the Forestry
were not able to see this first game.
4 There will he other chances to see
"Our Team and they will not be ov-
erlooked by the students.
Elsewhere in this issue will be found
an announcement Of the Winter Short
Course beginning January 5.

$3,4l9, IN
STATE HAIL Loss
1852 FARMERS TO RECEIVE IN
SURANCE MONEY-TOTAL
COST ONLY $74,395.

The beneficiaries of the North Da-
kota hail tax law will not pay over
Is cents an acre for hail insurance
this year; $3,419 924.42 will be paid
out for hail losses to farmers; 49,
467; ;13O acres were not withdrawn and
remained under state insurance law;
the total cost cf running the hail in
surance department was only $74,-
395.27; the total number Of beneficiar-
les will be 1882 farmers.
These figures represent the remark
able success of the new state hail in
surance department of North Dakota
the first year of it's operation, accord
ing to the final report State Commis-
sioner Of Insurance S. A. Olsness.
This success can be understood only
by comparing these results Of hail IN
surance by private corporations. Cor
poration insurance has been costing at
least 70 cents per acre, or nearly three
times as much. This enormously great
er cost of private company insurance
y absorbed by overhead expenses sew
eral times greater proportionately
than those under state insurance and
BY all the profits the corporations
have been able to squeeze out OF the
business. The state hail insurance de-
partment not only has unusually low
overhead expense, but it will make no
profits at all. THE FARMERS WILL
GET BACK ALL THE MONEY
THEY PUT IN MINUS OVERHEAD
EXPENSES ENTAILED IN RUN
MING THE STATE HAIL INSUR-
ANCE DEPARTMENT. T.
Summarizing these figures and re-
suits, Insurance Commissioner Olsness
says:
Heavy Losses In East
It has generally been claimed that
the western part Of the state was more
subject to hail than the eastern part.
This has not been the experience Of
the past season, as Pembina, Cavalier,
Traill, Grand Forks, Steele, Griggs
and Benson counties are the heavy
losers.
Total number Of losses reported for
the whole state is 12 852. sszsa =
Total amount Of losses as returned
BY the adjusters is So, ,419, 9,824.42.

gist can supply you with the complete
Hyomei outfit, including hard rub
ber pocket inhaler. The inhaler will

is rapidly nearing the end and it is
thought that by the latter part of the
week practically all Of the orchards will
have finished picking their crop.
The yield this year was way below
the yield Of last year owing partly to
the hot dry weather Of the summer
months and to the heavy bearing of
the trees last year.
The dryers are working to full capac-
ity and the operators are having quite
little difficulty in securing help for the
day and night shifts, notwithstanding
the big wages being paid for helpers
