The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1919-10-30

Good order should be maintained in
the school room, but the old idea of
making the youngsters sit 50 quietly
that one can hear pin. drop, has been
discarded with other practices of the
barbaric past. With the proper kind
of teacher in charge, going to school
is one continual round of pleasure.
There's manual training for the boys,
who no longer have to secretly cut up
the seats with their jack knives. And
there's domestic science for the girls.
The glad singing and physical exer-
cises put vim and pep into the lads
and lassies. There is occasionally an
institution Of the old form to be
found, where the teacher has failed
to grasp the idea of modern educa-
ton. A visit was made to this kind
of school the other day. The little
folks were compelled to sit quietly
and study throughout the day with the
exception of recess time when they
stood in the hall way, having learned
to play no games. At noon they ate
cold lunches and then stood around
some more until the afternoon session
began. The teacher cannot play the
organ, consequently there's little mu-
sic in the school. Physical education
is not a part Of the pupils curriculum.
The teacher has a perfectly orderly
school but the children seldom have
an opportunity for a hearty laugh
and will not be able to look back to
this particular year in school with
fond memories.

action to protect the public. He ex,
presses no opinion on the merits OF
the controversy. He has already sug-
gested plan whereby settlement
may be reached, and if the mine work
ers are wise, they will take the presl-
dents gentle hint before they get into
some uncomfortably hot water. Com
ing from president who has been
agnanimous with labor, who has
been exerting his powerful influence
to increase wages and the relationship
between capital and labor on a new
basis, such emphatic assertions were
dynamic. The public in general will
stand squarely behind the president in
his dealing with the miners for he is
absolutely right.

Any able bodied young woman may
easily complete course in the Minot
Normal or the Minot High School if
she is willing to do a little good hon
est work. There are any number of
girls who desire to attend these in
stitutions, but they are not able to
pay for their board and room. A large
number Of Minot families would will
ingly give them a good home in ex-
change for two or three hours work
a day, assisting in the household du-
ties. Earning ones way thru school
is not disgrace, on the other hand,
the young woman or the young man
who has the gumption to do it will be
highly commended for such spirit.

Clocks were turned back an hour
at two o'clock Sunday morning and
we are now operating under the old
time, never to change. A good many
of our folks enjoyed an extra hours
snooze Sunday morning. Some of the
more absent-minded brethren went to
church at the usual time and sat
around wondering what had become
Of the congregation. Those best salts
fled with the change are the country
folks, who are no longer compelled to
arouse their bossies with alarm clocks
and shoe the poultry off the roost.

Senator A. j. Gronna from North
Dakota, one Of the six Senators who
voted against the war, now declares
that he is fatty opposed to the League
of Nations. It took the North Dakota
Senator long time to make up his
mind, but his constituents are glad to
know just where he is at. Mr.. Gronna
contends that the League would be
apt to lead us into European broils.
He claims to be consistent-does not
favor wars-hence his opposition to
the League of Nations.

Senator Miles Poindexter, repub-

which reads well. Radicalism should
be curbed and property rights safe

THE COAL MINERS STRIKE.

The eastern soft coal miners have
set Nov | as the day for their strike
unless their demands for six hour
day and five days week are met. If
their demands are met it will be
equivalent to an increase of 60 per
cent in their present wages. Governor
Lowden of Illinois has called con-
ference of the governors of all coal
strike.
The situation is apt to affect North
Dakota mining, for the Ignite miners,
wages and conditions, say they will
have to strike in sympathy with the
eastern miners. This they trust it
will be unnecessary for them to do, as
it would throw many miners out of
employment who already are receiv-

There are 100000 government en-
ployes in Washington. Congress
ought to release a very large percent
age of them and permit them to en-
gage in some productive activities.
Many of them work but two hours a
day. The public would be highly
pleased if our Senators and Represen-
tatives would dispense with their
boys play and pay attention to curb
ing useless expenditures.

Owing to the printers strike in
New York City, practically every
large magazine with the exception of
the Literary Digest, has suspended
publication. That publication was
able to make it's appearance only by
having plates made from photograph
ic reproductions of typewriter sheets,
making rather unusual tho not at
all unreliable publication.

Issued an order TO the leaders VINO
had declared coal strike to take
place Nov. 1, to desist in their plans
or suffer prosecution for a crime
against the government and the peo-
pie of the United States. The indie
pendent will make a guess. that there
will not be any strike. The president
pointed out that the proposed strike
is illegal because it proposes to abro-
gate an agreement as to wages which
was made with the sanction of the
United States fuel administration and
which was to run during the contin-
uance of the war, but not beyond
April 1, 1920 The strike is proposed
at a time when the government is
making the most earnest efforts to re-
duce the cost Of living and has ap-
pealed with success to other classes
of workers to postpone similar dis
putes until a reasonable opportunity
has been afforded for dealing with the
cost Of living All interests would be
affected by the strike and its victims
would be not only the rich, but the
poor who are unable to lay in an ade-
quate fuel supply. It would shut
down countless industries and throw
out Of employment large part Of
the workers Of the country. The coun-
try is confronted with this strike at .
time when the war itself is still Z
fact, when our troops are still being
transported and when their means Of
transport is in urgent need Of fuel.
The president says emphatically that
the strike is unjustifiable and unlawfu'
under the circumstances and promises

Put one hundred men on AT island
where fish is staple article Of sus-
tenance. Twenty-Five of the men
the fish. Twenty-Five cook the fish
Twenty five hunt fruit and vegetables,
So long as everybody works there
is plenty. All hands are happy.
Ten of the allotted fish catchers
stop.
Ten more dry and hide part of the
fish they catch.
Five continue to catch fish, but work
only part of day at it.
Fewer fish go into the kitchen.
But the same number of men insist
upon having the same amount of fish
The fifty men who formerly cleaned
and cooked the fish have less to do
owing to the undersupply of fish. But
they continue to demand food.
Gradually greater burdens are laid
unon the fruit and vegetable hunters
These insist upon larger share of
the fish in return for their larger eff
forts in gathering fruit and vege!
tables. It is denied them and soon
twenty Of the twenty-five quit.
But the entire one hundred men con-
tinue to insist upon their right to eat
The daily food supply gradually
shrinks. The man with two fish de-
mands three bananas in exchange for
one Of them. The man with two ban
anas refuses to part with one for few
err than three fish.
Finally the ten men remaining al
work quit in disgust. Everybody con-
tinues to eat. The hidden fish ara
brought to light and consumed Comes
day when there is no food of any
kind. Everybody blames everybody
else.
What would seem to be the solu,
ton?
Exactly! We thought you woulc
guess it.

clear logic and its aptness to condi.

parent to every thinking person that
stopping of production must result ir
shortage of the necessities Of life-the
scarcity Of a commodity naturally
pushes prices up. If the conditions
continue, chaos must result. Tharc's
