What Board Has Done.
The state board of administration
has demanded that Miss Nelson sur
render to an educational commission
which this board has packed with
Macdonald men the fixing of courses
OF study for all public schools, which
might mean that the youth of North
Jakota would be taught the tenets ap
proved by Walter Thomas Mills and
other socialists who are managing
Nonpartisan league affairs. Miss Mel
son has not been treated by the board
with even ordinary official courtesy
courtesy. In view Of these facts, the
version of the affair given by the
Courier-News, of which Townley Is
editorial director, is a unique example
of league journalism:
"A determined effort is being made
by enemies of Governor Frazier and
the farmer administration to arouse
friction between Miss Minnie J. Mel
son and the new board of administra,
tion, of which she Is member" says
the Courier-News. In the reorganiz
alton of school affairs that is ensu
ing since the educational bill was in
dorsed by the voters in the receni
referendum election, new and larger
duties have fallen upon Miss Mel
son, and several matters of routine
have been eliminated from her de
partment.
The opposition newspapers are car
rying newspaper stories every day
stating that Miss Nelson's powers are
being taken away and that she is be
ing prosecuted by the other members
of the board Of administration. Miss
Nelson stated today that these stor
les do not emanate from her, and pro
fessed to be indignant over the articles
that have appeared in the Bismarck
Tribune, the Fargo Forum and Grand
Forks Herald
II have been wondering just how
Mr.. Townley's press would get around
this situation" said Miss Nelson to
day when the Courier-News story was
called to her attention. II think this
is the best thing they have done yet
AS a matter Of fact, l have not had {
word to say to any Townley newspa
per man about this matter; I have
never professed indignation over the
stories appearing in newspapers o
this state which were sympathetic
enough and honest enough to tell thu
truth. I believe the actions of thu
board of ADMINISTRATION should be Civ
en- publicity-that the people have {
right to know what is being done
and the Bismarck Tribune, Fargo For
