NORMAL sCHOOL ITEMs.

President Kane Of the University of
North Dakota addressed the students
and faculty of the Normal school at
assembly on Tuesday morning. In
the course of his earnest and at times
imprisoned plea for an intelligent
citizenship, he emphasized the i'm
portance of the teachers work in the
training for that citizenship. He not
ed the alarming percent Of illiteracy
in the United States today as reeval-
ed thru war Investigations for army
purposes, and reminded his audience
of the small percentage of boys and
girls in our own state who reach the
eighth grade and the ceedingly
small percentage that reach the high
school. He expressed himself as
strongly favoring the educational
measure now before Congress which
will provide a means for permanent
ly standardizing educational work
thruout the United States as we'll as
identifying the work by creating a
Department of Education at Wash
ington.
President Kane was the guest of

THE CLUB AND THE FARMERS

Berthold, N. D., March 3, 1919
Mr.. G. D. Colcord,
Minot, N. D.
Friend Colcord:
The accompanying editorial sounds
so good to me that / am prompted to
send it co you.
Any skalaWag may arouse the pref
udices of the people by magnifying
some differences between class and
class, but it is up to those who would
have home and country to restore
harmony between classes, which is
necessary to the progress and happi-
ness of the community. All who are
interested in the welfare of the coun-
try should contribute to the restora-
ton of civil feelings as well as sober
thots. The promoter, like the sneak
thief, slips in, does his work and then
slips out, leaving others to cover his
tracks and restore the loss. It is up
to all Of US to do our part. We are do
ling wonderful work in the Grange,
in promoting a better community
feeling. We impress all that we in
the Grange cannot endorse nor con-
denim any political party nor faction,
no matter what it's name may be.
Very truly,
GEO. T. MURRAY.
Fargo Forum, Feb. Is: If the Far
go Commercial club achieves its ambi-
ton and acquires permanent home
Of its own, that home should be the
farmers headquarters for the city.
North Dakota's biggest industry is
farming; Fargo's biggest industry is
supplying the wants of the farmers.
What better excuse for existence
can a Fargo Commercial club have,
than to foster friendly relations be-
tween the city and the city's best GUS
toners
We haven't anything in Fargo that
answers the purpose of a rest room or
club room for farmers passing few
hours or perhaps day or two in the
city. There should be such quarters
in the proposed Commercial club
building. There should be room for
women, where the wives and daugh-
tiers of visiting farmers can find a
mirror, an easy chair, telephone,
some writing paper, and some mag
azines and newspaersi; where they
can pass few hours pleasantly and
comfortably while the men are trans
acting what business they have.
There should be an opportunity for
the men to enjoy a quiet smoke, or
perhaps q game Of billiards. There
should be an atmosphere Of cordial
