made for instruction in typewriting,
bookkeeping and other kindred sub
iects. The school has employed Miss
Leona Taylor, of the Taylor Short
hand school of Minot, to give the in
struction in these subjects.
1t is not the purpose Of this course
to prepare students for commercial
positions. Neither is it the purpose
to prepare teachers of commercial sub
jects for the public schools, tho both
tied way. The school offers this work
because it feels that all teachers need
more or less instruction in these sub
.jects in order to do properly certain
phases Of their work as teachers.
To take full advantage of these ex-
tensions in the service offered by the
Normal school students will need to
remain longer at school. Instead of
being satisfied with one year beyond
the high school, Students should plan
to return for a second year. 1t is prob
able that the time will soon come
when the Normal will issue diplomas
only to such students as have complet-
ed two years beyond the high school,
In only few states in the United
States can teachers secure a normal
school diploma for one years work be-
yond the high school and North Da-
kota is one of these few. Inasmuch
as North Dakota is one Of the richest
states in the Union, on the per cap
ita basis, It can not afford to allow this
condition to continue for long. She
is beginning to pay her teachers bet
ter salaries: she can justly expect
from them better preparation.
Major Crane has written Acting
President Clarke, Of the Normal
school, that he expects to be in Minot
not later than September 29th. He
will thus be on hand at the opening of
the fall term The Major has recover
ed from his illness and is anticipating
with pleasure his return to his work
as head Of the Normal school. He will

his car.

new faculty MEM
BERS At THE NORMAL
Popular Institution Will Reopen With
Stronger Faculty Than Ever
Three New Critic Teachers.

When the Normal school opens for
the Fall term there will be a number
of new instructors joining the faculty.
In the place of Prof. H. G. Fish,
who resigned his position as head of
the History department to take up
work in connection with the University
of Washington, at Seattle, there will
be Prof. j. H. Cotton, formerly super
intendent of schools at New Rockford.
Mr. Cotton is graduate of Illinois
College and is well and favorably
known thruout our state as an effic-
lent school man. He has been an in
structor at the summer term Of the
Normal for number of years and is
we'll acquainted with the workings of
the school. He will be valuable ad-
dition to the faculty.
Prof: George r: Mueller, graduate
Of the Normal College of the N. A. G.
u, Indianapolis, Indiana, will have
charge Of the work in physical educa-
ton, and will take the place of Miss
Helen J. Hoover, who resigned her po-
sition to accept similar position in
the Schools at Spokane, Wash. Mr..
Mueller held the same position at the
Normal school during the summer Of
1917, but was drafted by the United
States government and had to resign
During his service for the govern
ment he has continued work along the
line of physical education and returns
to the Normal with the added exper-
fence this has given him. Mr.. Mueller
made an excellent record the summer
he was at the Normal and his return
is looked forward to with pleasure by
the school. Mr.. Mueller and Mr.. Col
ton are both young men and both
bring with them young wives, thus
enlarging the circle of people connect
ed with the Normal.
Three new critic teachers have been
employed to take the places of Miss
Mcdonald and Miss Staudt, who re-
signed at the end Of last year, Miss
Staudt to complete the work for her
degree at Iowa State Teachers Col
fege and Miss Mcdonald to complete a
course at the University Of Chicago.
A third teacher has been added to
tighten the work in the primary de-
partment Of the Training School.
AS critic in grades three and four
the school has employed Miss Mar
garet G. Black of Corvallis, Oregon.
Miss Black is recent graduate of the
University of Michigan, having pre-
viously graduated from the State Nor
NAL school at Macomb, Illinois. She
has had abundant experience as teach
er in schools Of various grades, in

MAJOR Crane IS FIN
|SH|NG JOB With GOV.
Minot Educator Nears the Close of
Reconstruction Educational Work.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 16.-Maj.
A. G.. Crane, chief director Of edu-
cational service in army hospitals and
president of the Minot, N D., normal,
left Washington Monday for Minot on
a 25-day leave Of absence, where he
will attend the opening exercises of
the normal school.
Upon the expiration of his leave
Major Crane will return the the cap
ital for few weeks for the purpose
of winding up his affairs here pre-
paratory to once more assuming
charge of the Minot normal.
Major Crane has been on the edu-
cational staff Of the surgeon general
for over two years, and since Jan. /,
1919, he has been at the head of ali
educational work in army hospitals.
The extensive reconstruction work in
augurated under the supervision of
Major Crane was wholly without
precedent and necessarily almost the
entire plan Of organization resulted
through his initiative. This plan as
worked out was in effect in every mil
itary hospital in the country. Over
100000 disabled soldiers and sailors
were given instruction and of this
number many thousands learned to
read and write while receiving treat
ment. Much of the instruction work
was done while the men were confined
to their beds, and all Of it prior to
their return to duty or discharge. In
addition to the elementary instruc-
tion given in the fundamentals of ed
ucation number of trades were in
cluded in the curriculum and the foun-
dation laid for the continuation of
studies in trade schools under the de-
partment of vocational training to
those men desiring such training.
The work of President Crane, how
ever, is almost done. Most Of the
wounded men who have been able to
improve their time spent in confine-
ment by continuing their education
or learning valuable trade have now
been discharged from the service and
returned to civil life or to the con-
tinuation Of the work thus begun un-
der the Vocational board. OF the 4e
army hospitals under his supervision
throughout the early summer but 19
remain. This number will dwindle
considerably during the fall and the
work in the hospitals that will remain
is so well under way that it can soon
be left to the care of subordinates.
Late this summer Major Crane suf-
fered severe nervous breakdown and
for over month he was under treat
ment at Walter Reed hospital. His
health is now greatly improved, how

HARRISON CONSOLIDATED AD-
JUNCT TO MINOT NORMAL
Teachers to Be Supplied for Rural
Consolidated School to Teach Un-
der Supervision of MinOt Normal
The August bulletin of the Normal

The August Bulletin of the Normal
school is just off the press and is an
interesting number. From it one
learns that the Normal school is
broadening the scope of its service.
First, it has affiliated with the Har-
rison Consolidated school six miles
southwest Of Minot and plans to make
it an adjunct to it's training school.
The Harrison school will be in charge
Of a teacher employed by the Normal
and will be under the supervision of
the Normal Students wishing to be-
come teachers in consolidated schools
will be permitted to do a part of their
cadet teaching in this school and there
by become familiar with the princi-
pies and practices determining the
work Of such school. This new ser
vice by the Normal promises to be of
great value to the people Of this part
Of the state. There are in this section
many consolidated schools but dearth
of teachers trained to teach in them,
particularly dearth of principals to
take charge of them.
The Normal has ecured for princi-
pal Of this school Miss Regina Bakko,
Of Kenyon, MINI. Miss Bakko is a
Normal school graduate and has had
a number of years of experience in
rural and consolidated schools in this
part of the state. She is said to know
rural conditions "from A to e."
The second extension of the service
offered by the Normal school is in its
curriculum. The curriculum has been
modified and extended in such way
as to offer students a greater variety
Of courses from which to select the
particular studies that will best fit
them for the line of work they plan
to take up. The Normal is thus id
apting itself to the changing status
Of the schools, for more and more the
schools are demanding teachers who
are specialists in certain specific lines
Of work. The teacher who can teach
anywhere and everything has had her
day and must give way to the teacher
who knows her limitations and has fit
ted herself for the work she is best
adapted by nature to do.
A third extension Of service at the
Normal, not referred to in the Bulle-
tin, is the provision which has been

school orchestra was a feature of
every school function.
At Hudson he has had a large class
of pupils and has developed several
line players including Reba OTerdahl,
Clarence Lee, Katherine Arnouist,
Leonard Dirls and others.
He has had fine orchestra which
has been one Of the busiest organiza-
tions in this locality. Besides this Mr..
| Howard always found time to favor
the churches and lodges and during
the war period he gave of his ability
to patriotic causes.
He is to leave us to become director
OF music of the Minot N. Oak. public
schools. The work is an opportunity
for him and he feels that it is his
duty to accept, although he leaves us
with regrets. Minot will find him a
good citizen and an invaluable addition
to its musical ranks. We are glad
to have had him these years, and his
work has been heartily appreciated.
We will always claim John Howard
as our own, yet we will still rejoice
at his success, wherever it may chance
to lead him.
Mrs. Howard, whose maiden name
was Lucille Aldridge and whose girl
hood home was Roberts, has been an
invaluable help and an inspiration to
her husband and the musical life of
both communities and her piano play
ing is of the highest grade. She has
found favor with the people of Hud-
son, and will also be greatly missed.

DUDLEY NASH SPOKE
ON "AMER|CAN|SM''
Minot Attorney is Credited With Hav-
ing Given One of the Best Ad :
dresses Ever Heard in Devils
Lake.

Devils Lake Daily World: The
birth of the Savior and the writing of
the Constitution Of the United States
were declared by Hon. Dudley Nash, of
Minot. in his speech at the Grand OPP
era House last night, to be the two
best things that had happened in the
world
1t was at the celebration held in
honor of the signing of the Constitu-
ton, and the opera house was well fill
ed with residents of Devils Lake.
Previous to the introduction of Mr..
Nash, a chorus led by Miss Gilbe>t
sang a number of choruses in which
the audience joined, which, however.
had been preceded by an invocation
by Rev. H. Prentiss Case, pastor of
the Presbyterian church.
After introduction by Hon. E. F.
Flynn, chairman of the city commits
sion, Mr.. Nash began what proved to
be perhaps the best talk on American
ism that has ever been given in Dew
lis Lake. Starting from the time of
Pharoah he gradually led up to the
present time
The United States, Mr.. Nash said,
was the hope of the world and he
likened the present time to that of
Pharoah who with hardened heart
had set out to crush the whole world
but the people of Israel had been led
through the Red Sea into safety from
the wickedness of Pharoah. To this
he likened the former German en-
peror whose self aggrandizement and
desire to conquer the world had hard
ened his heart to the extent that he
had attempted to put himself on the
same plane with God, with the result
ant punishment by the Almighty.
To Alexander Hamilton he gave the
credit of providing in the constitution
that the government of the United
States should be republican in form,
and by the people through representa-
ton. He it was, who further embodied
the principles Of the law of the Rom
ans, the morality of the Hebrews and
the education of the Greeks until the
constitution of this country stood for
"Justice."
1t was the Anglo Saxons-the Eng
lish speaking people-who were the
power that meant the salvation of the
world, and while forming only one
thirteenth of the population of the
world, they controlled one third.
Divided into three parts, the execu-
tive, legislative and judiciary, the
government of the United States was
so arranged that no one body could
overcome the other The courts of
the United States were controlled by
the law. Free speech did not mean
that one could express his opinions
outside of the law, but within the
law, and to illustrate this he cited the
case of Eugene V. Debs, who he re-
garded as. a bright man but in his ut
terances he had stood without the
law All good government is control
led by the law, and illustrative of the
government of the United States, he
cited the recent strike Of the railway
shopmen who, disobeying the orders
Of their officials, had gone to the Pres.
ident and demanded hearing. To
these the president had said, "You are
taking matters in your hands as a
mob, outside of your representatives,
will not listen to you"
All through his address Mr.. Nash
was listened to with the closest of at
tention.
