more impersonal attitude than the
mother, and there comes time when
the child needs to respond to a vari-
ETY. of personalities.
The child of the street has this ad-
vantage over his little brother who
lives in the rarified atmosphere of the
elaborate nursery. But the street
child comes in contact too early with
undesirable personalities; he is being
initiated in the primer of crime. And
there is no grown person who has time
to answer the questions which his
awakening mind forces upon him.
There is no grown person who has
time to tell him stories and nursery
rhymes.
On the other hand, the child of the
rich is too often slave in his rela-
tionship to one grown person-the
nurse. Alas, the good nurse is born
and not made, and her price is above
rubies, especially in these days of
scarcity of intelligent servants.
who came to the kindergarten unable
to run freely in big spaces. They had
always been chained to the nurse, who
felt that she was living up to her call
ing when she kept her charge from
being run over or from soiling his
white stockings.
And not only may a child's physi-
cal development be seriously hampered
by having a nurse, but the relation
ship between this adult and her charge
is an anomalous one. She is a hireling
and he knows it. She can not exact
the right kind of obedience, and
whether he is permitted by his moth
er to ''order her around" or whether
he is cowed into fear by the nurse, the
is false one. Too often
a child is exposed to the careless Cos
sip Of the nurse and her friends.
The kindergarten teacher is cul-
tured woman who exists to minister to
the physical and spiritual needs of the
children. The child Of the tenements
rejoices in her motherly companion
ship; the little aristocrat becomes a
real child.

HOW INSTRUCTORS
MARKED STUDENTS

Beginning with the summer session
OF 1919 new system OF marking, or
rather a revision of the old plan, was
made to apply. One of the outstanding
features is the method whereby GER
tain marks are agreed upon as hav-
ing certain values in credit points. The
final marks which instructors may
use at the completion of a course are
z, three points; G, two points,; P,
one point; and F, minus two points.
The old mark, C, meaning condition,
is now no longer given. For valid
reasons instructors may file with the
registrar on the "grade sheets" in
complete and no grade.
It will be interesting, and perhaps,
instructive, to make summary Of the
total number of the various grades
filed by all the members of the facul-
ty who taught classes during the fall
term Of 1919. The registrar, Mr.. C.
A. Lee, has prepared a table showing
the name of the instructor, the subject
taught by each instructor, and the
number of each of the grades named
above given by him or her.
Thirty five instructors gave a total
of rs Els, 573 Els, 1861 G's, 472 P's,
and u F's. There were also 43 "In-
complete" and 108 ''No grade" Only
twentyone out of thirty five instruct
ors gave H, the highest grade. Nine
teen instructors gave F, failure. All
but one instructor, thirty-four, regis
tered some Els. The highest grade
filed by this instructor was G.. There
are other deductions and comparisons
which could easily be made from the

WAS
APPLIED GRATIS

State Tax Commissioner Wallace,
who has been advising county tax
supervisors that they are without a
job as result of the passage of an
act by the recent special assembly
abolishing their jobs, is informed by
the secretary of state that his action
is premature, inasmuch as the bill re-
ferred to, while certified to the sec
rotary of state by Chief Clerk Totten
of the house as carrying the emeg-
ency clause, was not passed by the
required tWo-thirds majority and is
not an emergency measure. Conse-
quently this act cannot become ef-
fective until the first Of next July.
The fact that Chief Clerk Totten
was certifying bills to the senate with
the emergency clause attached when
the house had not in face passed the
emergency clause was brought out
during the recent special session by
members of the minority, and COM
mittee was appointed to investigate
this irregularity, but so far as can be
learned, this committee never pre-
scented report.
The act relating to the post of
county tax supervisor was passed in
the house by a vote of 60 to Al, the
Alternatives being ID less than the
number required to carry the emerg-
ency clause attached to the bill. In
spite of this fact it is said that Chief
Clerk Totten certified the emergency
clause as passed. The same thing
was done in the case of House Bill
80, providing the governor with con-
tingency fund of $4,000 to day debts
incurred in his confscation of the
coal mines under declaration of mar
tial law, and in his efforts to prove
that Golden Valley county officials
were derelict in connection with the
Bowen murder case. The house jour-
nal shows that the vote on this bill
was 81 to 40, but in spite of that fact
Speaker Stair is said to have signed
the emergency clause, and Chief Clerk
Totem, a son Of Rev. George A. Tot
ten, chairman of the state board Of
administration, certified the emery
ency clause to the senate as regularly
passed. Similar irregularities in the
first session of the house over which
the league presided were undone only
A few months ago, when the supreme
court held that North Dakota, al
though alleged violators had been
convicted, fined and
thrown into prison under an alleged
act of the legislature, never was really
bone dry, and that the act Of 1917
to make the state bone
Try, was never acted upon by the SEN
ste in the form which A. E.. Bowen,
eague chief clerk of that house, GER
;ifed it to the secretary of state.

announced here, count upon the sup

teachers and hostesses,-and if neces-

terminate the "half Nelson" "body
hold" "shimmy lock" and other i'm

ticed by some dancers.
Cheap and vul gar music is also to
come under the ban and, according to
a circular just issued by the associa-
ton, those in charge of community or
public dances are urged to show their
opposition to undesirable dances by
distributing "You will please leave the
hall" cards to those who persist in
offending.
The women, it is charged, are often
as much to blame as their partners
and, in some cases, dance hall pro-
prietors are advised to pick out ten or
a dozen Objectionable couples and, If
a warning is disregarded, to GUST them
at once.

reads, "that you will have raised the

Some of the rules and regulations
which all are urged to obey follow:
'Dance music should be bright and
cheerful, properly accented and the
phrases we'll divided. Cheap, vulgar
music Of the extreme Jazz type in
vites cheap, vulgar meaningless dane
ing. 1t is useless to expect refined
dancing when the music lacks all re-
finement, for after all, what is dane
ing but an Interpretation of music?
"The association has adopted the
following tempos, it being impossible
the masters say, to regulate fast dane
ing: "
"Waltz, 4S measures to minute.
"Two-step, So measures to minute.
"One-step, 66 measures to minute,
COX trot, 40 measures to minute.
Dancers should assume light,
graceful position" say the masters.
'"There should be no jerky half-steps,
Partners should not dance with cheeks
close or touching nor should the clasp
be tight. Neck holds are positively
objectionable. The gentleman's arm
should encircle his partners waist, his
hand resting lightly just above the
waist line. The lady's arm should
not encircle her partners shoulders
or neck.
No Side Steps
"Steps or movements that cannot be
controlled should not be taught by
dancing teachers. Short side steps,
first right, then left, when done con-
tinuously are not conducive to refined
dancing and should not be permitted.
'Shimmy dancing,' shaking or jerk
ing of the upper part Of the body while
taking short steps or standing still,
should not be tolerated.
"The proper dancing step should be
the same as natural walking one ex-
cept in exhibition dancing, which
belongs to the stage, not the
ball ROOM Exceptionally long or short
steps are not in good form.
Dancing should be from the waist
down, now from the waist up. Copy
ing of the extremes used on the mod
ern stage is in bad taste. Remem-
Der that the majority of dancers de-
sire to dance according to the best &C
,epted standards, that is, without the
slightest trace of ofense TO dignity or
