FORESTRY NORMAL SCHOOL

Dean Joseph Kennedy Of the College
of Education Of the State University
of North Dakota has been secured to
deliver the Commencement lecture,
Thursday evening, June IL. He is a
we'll known studen of Education and
will give a lecture that will be well
worth hearing.
Mrs. Jean McNaughton Stevens of
Towner visited the school last Friday
morning and spoke at assembly exer-
cises. She pointed out the strong sem
timent in favor of the Forestry
schools being maintained as developed
at a recent w. C. T.-U. convention.
Some speaker proposed that this
school be used as a mean for housing
the orphans, and the proposal vas met
with general disapproval. Mrs. Stew
ems expressed herself as opposed to
that method, the institutional method,
of caring for little children. She as
serted that the home is the place to
keep them and that orphans should be
placed in private homes rather than in
public institutions.
One of the faculty talks was given
this week by Miss Wilson, librarian
and teacher Of drawing. She explained
the method Of classifying books that
she is using. If a student understands
this method, he can find his material
rather quickly in any of the big Ii
braries. Miss Wilson stated that the
school library is undergoing a CLASH
fication according to the Dewey Deci-
NAL System. The method was invented
in 1876 by Melville Dewey, an Ameri-
can librarian and educator, and has
proved itself, to be one Of the most
practical, simple and complete meth
DDS ever used. It has been quite gen
orally adopted in the United States

and to a considerable extent in foreign

Classifying means grouping books
in a logical order and giving to each
a mark that will tell in which group
it belongs, distinguish it from other
books in the same class land show it's
exact location on the shelf. The field
Of knowledge is divided into nine
large classes, numbered 100 to 900.
There is a class numbered 900 and
consists Of encyclopedias, periodicals,
etc., too general in their nature to be
given a more definite classification.
Each of these ten classes is divided in
to ten divisions and each division is
divided into ten sections making 1000
classes in art. A chart is provided to
hang on the library walls and showing
the general scheme thus assisting the
student in his comprehension Of the
plan and his use Of the library.

fact impressed itself upon me, and I
begun to build up another theory.
Surprising Jean Boisset, for the pur-
poses of spying, wished to take the
place Of NJ. Houtin, how would he go to
work? He could prepare another port
manteau, he could place IN 4 papers
of warning against me. he could drop
into it an envelope to mislead and de-
lay the Identification of the dead.
Then, having committed murder, prob
ably with the help Of an accomplish he
could take NJ. Houtin's portmanteau
and all his belongings. including the
things rom the toilet table and even
the pajamas worn by his victim. He
would leave nothing behind. He knew
the police would begin by looking for
the pa5amas, so he tumbled a pair in
the portmanteau. Had he pr. them on
the dead man and put a brush and
comb on the table. the idea that he had
stolen a personality would probably
not have occurred to any one. My
theory was that he had become NJ.

the whole of Houtin's property to
prove his identity. There was risk In

No one knew better than he did sthe
gravity of the situation. and the mes
sage after ell was ambiguous 1t
seemed impossible that anything could
have gene wrong. To avoid any in
formation leaking out, to avoid as rar
as possible any knowledge that an i'm
portant conference was taking place,
the meeting had been fixed at this
country house. Lord Belmont was of
small political Importance. Even II 1t
were known that the foreign minister
was spending the weekend with him
it would cause no comment. The other
members of the conference had ar
rived singly, ordinary weekend visit
ors apparently. 1t seemed impossible
that any information could have Leak
ed out and absurd that any danger
such as was suggested by the message
could exist.
The conference was to take place in
the library on Sunday afternoon. Tn.
til then. those who were to take part
in 1t were merely guests of Lord Bel
mont, and for greater security had
dropped for the time being the titles
they had q right to. They had pre-
scented their credentials but posed as
private individuals.
