DEMOCRACY TAUGHT BY
HORRIBLE EXAMPLE

The Gunnison Empire would teach
News Champion democracy.
Old Bolshewhiskers, who has been
if he is not now, the paid agitator Of
of the Non Partisans and the Radicals; /;
who boasts that his paper is. "inde-
pendent" not democratic; whose an
nounced plan of action is to get his
favorites nominated on both tickets
and then bolt the individuals who
do not bow down to his particular So
Wet; who supported Republican over
Thompson, the Democratic nominee
for representative in 1918; who recent
ly announced that he would be pleased
to support that bitter partisan, John
son of California, for president II
nominated by the Republicans
Old Bolshe would teach democracy.
1t is to laugh!
A man and paper advocating class
rule, and those classes instigated by
the paid agents of the Reds in Ameri-
ca to teach democracy!
Such democracy consists in DAMN
ing by inuendo, when it does not OPEN
ly attack, the party leaders like Will
son and Congressman Taylor and
Attorney General Palmer. Such DEM
ocracy appeals each week by publish
ing articles lauding the ravenous
Bolshevists Of Russia, who with cruel
ty unspeakable and tyranny beyond
the Imagination of Cars. are already
starving and destroying a nation Of
$50 million. Such democracy lives by
preaching discord, violence, class con-
sciousness, hatred of business and
business men, by throwing oil on the
burning flames of disruption which
the world war lighted.

One hesitates to quote from such pub

kind Of stuff these so-called reform
ers are dealing in, quote from Love
and Marriage" by Ellen Key:
"The minority, (That is the pole

er that its constraint now tends to de-
feat its original object. an enhanced

And this same minority is aware that
love may cease, independently Of q
persons will; therefore that no one
can be held to the terms Of . promise,
the performance Of which lies out
ode his power.
s'Nothing is more necessary than to
ABOLISH the legal claims that peo-
pie have on one another, supported by

"It results from the foregoing that
the ideal form Of marriage is consider
ed to be the PERFECTLY FREE
UNION Of a man and q woman, who
thru mutual love desire to promote
the happiness Of each other and the
race"
Yes, think Of it. An organization
posing as a reform element in this
country would make it possible thru
their agents to propagate this rotten
radical. Bolshevist, Socialistic, Rus
sian-Red dogma. It is part Of their
plan to break down established con
ventions rs well as the present form
Of government. In short they want

STUDENTSCLEAN.
CHASE, AND EAT

At half past one on Friday after
noon students and faculty members
assembled at the auditorium. After
brief instructions by Mr.. Seymour ali
left for the school-yard to take part
in the cleaning-up process. Each class
had a certain part of the yard to
clean Everyone was ready for work
and all took turns at raking and haul
ing leaves.
At three o'clock whistle sounded
which brought every one to the main
entrance. This was for the purpose Of
starting a "hare and hound" chase.
The Junior class was divided into tive
groups Of hares, each provided with =
leader. These groups together with
their enlisted faculty members started
out in different directions, going -
fast as they could over fields and
through woods. They left paper as
they went so the hounds might find the
track. About twenty minutes later,
two groups Of hounds composed Of all
the other classes began the chase.
They tried to follow the trail of the
hares and catch them before they
could get back home. The hounds
had a keen sense OF smell. This was
proved by, the fact that some found
, a short cut across the fields and met
one group Of hares as they were start
ing for home.
All hares and hounds were back at
the gravel pit by five o'clock. Here
ample justice was done to a generous
supper served by some of the faculty
members. A box of delicious Spitxen-
berg apples, donated by H. E. Tay-
lor was greatly appreciated by The
classes. During the meal each one
hoped his class might receive the big
candy box Miss Noll was carrying.
This box was known to contain the
prize for, the class winning in the
chase. 1t was given to the fourth
year class led by Miss Mason. When
the box was opened to taste the candy,
a rabbit was found!
The reports of the celebration were,
"A good time during the entire after
nOOn." -'.s..

MOVIES IN CHAPEL

One of the interesting features Of
last Saturdays assembly was the re-
port on the percent Of football tickets
sold to the various classes. An effort
had been made by each class to secure
a full attendance at the first football
game played by v. C. N. players IN
our town. The resultss of this effort
were as follows: First years AZ per
cent; second years 20 per cent; third
years So per cent; Juniors "A per cent;
seniors SO per cent.
A portion of Saturdays chapel per-
iod was devoted to short practice Of

Rev. C. G. Fox was a chaplain over
three years. He made his address
more real by appearing in uniform.
He spoke briefly on the meaning of
Armistice Day.
"What does Arn1istice Day mean?
Any one who ever praises war in song
or story never saw it in all it's naked
ness and horror. Armistice Day
means revision from that horror to
peace and normal conditions.
s.We did not suffer from war except
to give up our sugar and to eat lit
tie coarse bread. We were free to go
about our daily tasks undisturbed. In
Europe it was not so. The aged and

MANY ALUMNI
ATTEND N: D. E. A.

More than three thousand teachers
registered at the N. D. E. A. meeting
held at Grand Forks this week. A
large number of them were v. c. N.
graduates who looked anxiously for
friends from the Normal School. They
were in evidence at the professional
meetings, in the hotel lobbys and par
ticularly at the reunion.
The alumni banquet was held Thurs
day evening in the parlors of the
Presbyterian church. About one hun
dred loyal graduates gave their en-
thusiasm to the occasion. DR.. Allen,
POSTMASTER, set the pace for the en-
joyable evening. Underlying his
jokes and merriment was hearty
thank you to the alumni for their as
sistance in the past and an appeal for
their united support Of the various
needs of the school.
Ex-President George A. Mcfarland
was introduced and his presence was
received with enthusiasm. He spoke
chiefly Of friendship and what it
means to the teacher.
State Superintendent Of Education
Minnie j. Nelson, spoke in an inter
esting and forceful manner concerning
the need for trained teachers, and the
need Of our school for the loyal sup
port and united action of the alumni.
IL Mr.. Eldon Hanson, now a student
in the law school of the University
Of North Dakota, gave short but
capable address, expressing the love
of the alumni for their Alma Mate,
and their interest in her needs.
Of course the yells were led by Mr.
Meyer. It would not be real alumni
reunion otherwise.

we love?

&
As we recall our own childhood ex-
periences, do not the time when we
were misunderstood stand out very
distinctly and very bitterly in our
minds !?
A mother told me of a little child
who was angered almost into hyster-
les by having his lisp mimicked and
Knocked. do you want me to think
for you?" little John asked guest in
the friendliest fashion. eyes, indeed,
you darling, / want you to thing for
me-" the visitor said laughingly imi-
tating his lisp. The child's ears were
keen. He recognized the correct pro-
nunciation although his lips could not
yet form it and his face redeemed as
he said in grieved voice, ~ didn't
thay thing. I thaid thing" ooh, you
precious lamb, thing for me or thing
for mel don't care. I just adore
that lisp of yours"
Did she get the song-the child's
offered gift to guest? No, emphati-
cally no. She had killed the JOY of
self expression. She had grieved the
boy and made him sulky and she had
truly been guilty of an act Of rude
ness to a trusting little child.
And yet she thought that she loved
children! But she lacked the under
standing of the sensitive nature of a
little child. Ridicule is even harder
to endure when one is four years old
than when he is fourteen or forty.
But rude and cruel as it is to laugh
at the mistakes of children, it is far
worse to laugh at their fears! Just
because we know that there are no
COLLINS lurking in the dark, we find it
difficult to understand the agony, the
actual suffering of sensitive, timid
child who is forced to fight for his
fears all along.
"All lovers Of children condemn the
ignorant nurse who threatens, "The
Boogey Man will get you in the dark
tonight if you don't mind me-"
know one mother who came home aft
er making some afternoon calls and
found her little son in bed with a
high fever and in his delirium he cried
out over and over again, Don't let
the policeman get me-Don't let him
take me away from my mother-Don't
let him-Don't' let him!" The thor
oughly frightened nurse confessed
that she had put him to bed as punt
ishment and had left him there, say
ing, "Now I'm going out to get the
policeman to take you away so you
won't see your mother again." She
had left him there alone, thinking that
his screams of terror when a door OPP
ened or closed would ''teach him a
good lesson"
Dorothy Garfield Fishers "Under-
stood Betsy" is most delightful
study of child who was sometimes
misunderstood, story so charmingly
told that grown people and children
can read it together with great en-
joyment.
And, after all, is not that the great
secret Of understanding-the doing
Of things together, talking together,
walking together sharing each 9TH
er's joys and sorrows?
"Never mind, honey, "said wee Isis
to her dearly beloved kindergarten
teacher, "never mind if you are
hoarse. I will tell the children a
story today and you won't have to
talk" Isn't this a true illustration
Of the mutual desire to be Of service
which we SO long to have underlie our
relationship to the children who are
little. children for so very few years?

business buildings and even factories

business buildings and even factories
are superior in construction to our
school buildings. Often times they are
placed on the most undesirable land
in, the locality, the environment for
lorn and depressing. To a great ex-
tent they are designed and planned by
men who have no conception Of school
problems. To what end do we train
young people in the rules Of health,
satitation and lighting when every
thing in the surroundings to which
they go makes for ineficiency along
these lines. Glasses are held in all
sorts Of places; ligting and ventila-
ton bad and toilet facilities democrat
izing. Usually the building must fit
the appropriation and this means a
sacrifice of some of the essentials
The manual training building on a
certain Normal School campus is COM
posed of two stories of brick and the
third and top Of wood. To my COM
ment on the peculiar style received
the reply eyes, it just looks like two
appropriations" Teachers cannot do
their best work under these condi-
tions. #&
Education is public concern, The
improvement Of conditions is for the
good Of the public. An increase in
salaries is not alone for the benefit
of those in service but for the sake
Of securing other and better teachers
in the future. Teachers of some kind
we must have. The incompetent and
unskilled are costly at any price. The
money invested is not only wasted but
the time and opportunity of the child
rem. The intelligence, virtue, and skill
of the nation is lowered. -" f%
Various suggestions have been Of
fered aiming to improve the situation
chief among which are the following
Higher salaries, including a merit

Promise of permanency.
A more general recognition on the
part of the public Of the Importance
of the teaching profession. 81
F. Adequate teacher training institu-
tions and sufficient funds to maintain
them at maxlmum of efficiency. =
Serious as the situation is now, it
also offers to the teachers within the
profession opportunities they have
never had before. The attention of
the public is focused on the school and
those responsible for them as never
before. Shall we avail ourselves of
the opportunity and prove ourselves
true to the trust by initiating compre-
hensive policies and establishing a
school system worthy of our demo-
cracy? Or shall we allow others to
initiate the reforms from without ?
We, too, have obligations and respon-
sibilities beyond the school room.
