lessons were given and the child does
not know that it is wrong to lie, OF
to steal, or to commit any similar
crime and that he is allowed to do this,
until he finally does something that is
important enough for the law to pun
ish him. Would such punishment be
likely to reform him? Never! He
would be more likely to commit the
offense than before and would do 50
in such way as to evade the law. All
criminals take pleasure in evading au-
thority.
Therefore we must say that if a
person is allowed to become intemper-
ate, small fine or term of imprison-
ment will not reform him, especially
if he has already formed the habit
Such moral lessons should be begun
before the habit is formed and the
child must be governed by his own
conscience rather than by civil author
ity. The part of the teacher, there
fore, is to develop the proper con-
science.
If teachers neglect this moral
training and pupils are allowed to
leave school with indefinite ideas re-
garding the evil effects of intemper-
ance, they cannot be expected to be
true to themselves or to society as a
whole. A child cannot be more wrong
ed than to be deprived of conditions
and instrumentalities which are abso-
lutely necessary for his orderly de-
velopment. In consequence, of such
neglect he is doomed to a life of suf-
fering, disappointed hopes and pre-
mature death.
Let US now, consider some of the
best ways of developing in the child
this moral consciousness. This ques-
tion resolves itself into two parts:
that which serves to mitigate the So
cial evils and tends to minimize and
remove it as far as possible, by some
method or degree of repression name
ly-the law; and that which goes
deeper and seeks to remove the SER
vice of evil by the redemption of hu-
man nature, procuring it's action on
a right ethical plane-namely moral
instruction. We as teachers need to
develop the right moral attitude in the
child.
When a new moral principle ap-
pears there are two stages in its
adoption. First, some individuals who
possess high moral standards take it
up and obey it. Second, when public
opinion becomes strong enough, laws
are made to express the new public
opinion. It then, becomes necessary
to enforce the law. It is with the first,
chiefly, that teachers have to deal be-
cause they are largely instrumental in
forming public opinion, by their in
struction.
A democracy is dependent upon the
ideals Of it's citizens and if the
citizens do not stand for the very
highest ideals that democracy cannot
stand. So my final appeal is, let us
in our capacity as teachers, not forget
the Importance of this instruction,
which leads to the training of noble,
patriotic citizens. This is the great
est service anyone can render to hui
manity.

SECOND ANNUAL
LIVESTOCK PICNIC

The second annual picnic and live
stock meeting of the Barnes County
Live Stock Association will be held at
Chautauqua Park, Valley City, June
IL. Indications at the present time
are that this will be the largest and
most enthusiastic live stock meeting
ever held in Barnes county. A mum
Der of the towns of the county are
planning on making this day holi-
day by coming to Valley City for the
live stock meeting.
Mr.. W. F. Shilling, of Mortified,
MIMI, who spoke at the Live Stock
meeting in Valley City during the
month Of March, will be present at
this meeting.
Wesley Mcdowell, of Marion, will
talk on the Relation of Live Stock to
Community Advancement.
Kate s. Wilder, of Fargo, is on the
program for this meeting. 49,.
The program will be devoted to live
stock judging demonstrations of beef
cattle, dairy cattle and draft horses.
The live stock demonstrations will be
handled by w. F. Shilling, Professor
J. H. Seymour, of the Valley City
State Normal school, William Guy, of
Devils Lake, and j. C. Hoke, of Ellen
dale. T.
This meeting will begin at ten
o'clock in the morning and it is hoped
that all Of the farmers of Barnes
county will make this a holiday and
assist in the development of more
and better live stock by attending.

each subject in each grade so The
teacher might easily see the results
Of the tests as compared with the in.
Dictated standard. A graphic report
was also constructed to show the re.
suits of the tests in the school as a
whole so that the principal at glance
could see the results from his entire
system.
Copies of the tests given, instruc.
ton sheets, the pupils papers, the
graphs and principals reports, togeth.
err with detailed explanations, were
then sent to the school to which they
belonged. No attempt was made to
compare the various schools, this be-
ing left to the principals involved.
The work should be Of great value
first to the examiners, and second, to
the school examined.
The work was of very decided value
to the prospective teachers, who were
enabled to learn exactly how such q
test should be conducted. They prob
ably learned more about standard
tests by conducting the one carefully
planned and directed application than
they could by months of diligent
study.
To the schools examined the work
should provide rich mine of informa-
ton. For most of the schools it was
the first time such test has been sup
piled; but we venture to say, that it
will not be the last. The tests were
so carefully conducted that the teach
ers and pupils alike became very en-
thusiastic over them. To the princi-
pal the repors should prove great
help as the entire school was so care
fully tabulated. He can tell at a
glance just how his school ranks rela-
tive to the accepted standards, where
it is strong, and where it is weak. The
reports provided a strong stimulus to
better school efficiency.
The work as instituted was a de-
cided innovation. It was direct re-
suit of DR.. Finney's winter at Column
bia University, and illustrates the bene-
fits an institution gets from granting
a leave Of absence to it's teachers for
further study. The work was
planned with such careful ex-
actness that it proved to be
a most decided success both in
the undertaking itself and in the
results secured. Incidentally some of
the committees sandwiched in great
deal Of fun on the trips. The stu
dents in education hope there will be
more studies worked out along the
same line.

MEM0RIALDAY
EXERCISES HELD

The biggest part of the day in VAL
ley City yesterday was dry which
made it possible to conduct the SER
vices outlined for Memorial Day. In
the forenoon the soldiers graves at
the cemeteries were decorated. In the
afternoon the exercises were held in
the Normal auditorium. There were
many soldiers in line in uniform to
escort the G. A. R. veterans and the
w. r. C. and it was extremely crafty
ing that so many of the soldier boys
turned out to act as an escort on this
occasion. The procession marched to
the Normal school where large audi
ence listened to the program Of music
singing and speaking. DR.. VIM. HI!
Walker was the speaker for the FORE
noon and delivered a very able and
patriotic address in the face of the hot
weather, noisy babies, etc. D. w.
Clark read the Gettysburg Address of
Abraham Lincoln, and the Normal
quartet sang patriotic songs that put
much inspiration into the program.

cipient, Miss Fanny C. Amidon, was
received recently in which she was in
vited to give an address on the topic,
Music of the Northwest" before the
National Federation of Music Clubs.
This organization meets annually and
this year it will meet at Petersburg,
New Hampshire. This is regarded as
the musical center or the Mecca Of the
musicians Of the United States. The
invitation came through Mrs. Theo-
dore Thomas, wife Of the celebrated
musical leader, the so-called father of
American orchestra music.

STANDARD TESTS
PROVE VALUABLE

The following account of the results
of the trips to neighboring school
towns two weeks ago was prepared by
Mr.. F. Won Borgersrode, a member of
the Budget staff and editor-in-chief of
the Blizzard:
At the present time no phase of
educational work is receiving more
time and attention than are education
al tests and measurements. And
rightly so, for more than any other
element they are serving to make
teaching more of a science and to de-
velop it into true profession.
No longer may the unframed teach
er go out and teach by main strength
or apply chit and miss" methods. With
the increase in salaries comes an in
creasing demand for efficient instruc-
ton. It is no longer sufficient that the
teacher be well trained in theory and
in practice but she must also have def
mite knowledge of the results of her
work.
Hence the application of the stand
ard tests. Every member of the pro-
fession from the most humble rural
teacher to the great city superinten-
dent should understand, appreciate,
and be able to apply the tests and pro-
fit by their application.
The tests possess:
IA comparative value Pupils,
teachers, grades and schools, neigh
boring or widely separated may be
compared with equal ease.
2-An analytic or diagnostic value
They show where the individual pupil
is weak,
3-Value as a basis for intelligent
changes in school practices.
4-Value as an incentive.
Although many volumes have been
written on the subject, no teacher car
hope to gain an adequate working
knowledge of the various tests by
simply reading the subject matter
Neither can it be gained by unassisted
study. The only safe way is to per.
form the tests under the persona
guidance of one who has an intimate
knowledge of them.
Through the kindness of City Supt
Hanna of Valley City, County Supt
Whitcher Of Barnes county and the
various principals and teachers con
cerned, DR.. Finney secured permits
sion to apply the tests in Valley City
F'ingal, Nome, Rogers, Darcy, Oriska
Sanborn and Eckelson. The student:
who benefited by this privilege arr
glad of the opportunity to express
their gratitude through the column:
of the Budget.
On Monday, May 10, over one hun
dred students of the department o:
education, grouped in committees
went out and gave tests in spelling
reading, writing, and arithmetic t,
grades 8 to inclusive. The classe:
in education had devoted their entir'
time during the week previous to drill
ing and instructing the examiners, $,
that the tests would be efficiently ant
uniformly given.
The papers were brought back t,
| the Normal school and carefully grad
ed under the personal supervision O
DR.. Finney. To this work the classe
! devoted another entire week. Tn
work was carefully checked by eros
committee so there might be the few
est errors possible.
