HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

This week marks the beginning of
new semester. AS always, it is'a JOY
to begin work anew on a fresh clean
leaf. New classes are being organized
to replace the half-year subjects which
have been completed. Among the new
subjects are Commercial Law, Com
mercial Geography, United States
History (Advanced), Zoology, and
Advanced Physiology. Many of the

pacity of class rooms and laboratories.

tional apparatus in order to accomo-
date those who desire to take the
courses.
Junior / class entertained Saturday
evening at party whose spirit indi-
Gated the joys Of post-exam freedom
from worry. Games, including a bas:
ket ball game, and the always popu-
lar feature Observation-Disclosures the
evening pass quickly and pleasantly.
Friday nights game, though dis
appointing to basket ball fans in some
respects, gratified Bottineau Highs
loyal supporters by it's "never-say-die"
spirit, displayed against heavy odds.
The final score was 1928, with Devils
Lake staggering under the heavy end
of the score. We hope to be able to
sing a different tune when we play
Devils Lake on their own floor.
Following the Devils Lake game
dance was given at Wigeby Hall for

ton. By this means the association
.ucceeded in meeting the unusually

FORESTRY NORMAL NEWS

Last Thursday evening the faculty
was very pleasantly entertained by
the stundents at school party. The
faculty found a very long receiving
line before which they had to pass.
Many energetic games and most
ample spread were important fea-
lures of well planned evening. The
student committee in charge deserve
much credit.
Coach Brown and the Forestry Nor
may basketball team left yesterday
morning for games with Granville,
Mohall and Kenmare.
The students interested in debate
are disappointed not to be able to de-
bate the Minot or the Mayville nor
mails. Both schools declined.
The Commencement Lecture this
year will be delivered by President
Thomas F. Kane of the University Of
North Dakota.
The Music Department is preparing
a program to be given at the Grand
Theatre after some weeks. The Erg-
lish Club will use a half hour of the
evening. offering one-act play. Much
Of the music vii be from DeKoven's

were formulated, DeKoven has died
and it will be quite appropriate to
give such program as something OF
memorial.

BOTTINEAU AT ROLETTE

The Bottineau game that was play
ed the 18th was the cleanest and fast
est game ever played in our gym. 1t
ended in tie. In the extra five min
utes of play Rolette made 8 points
and won by score of 81 to 81. 1nge-
bretson made 10 field goals.
The game with Rugby was COM
>bjnation of basketball and football.
Rolette played basketball and won by
a score of 81 to 9. It is needless to
say that the exhibition staged by the
Rugby team was very disgusting. 1t
was an unpleasant contest to the
gentlemenlike play of the Bottineau
team.-Rolette Record.

wills LAKE
! WIN FROM OMEMEE

During the past week the Bottineau
High School basket ball team lost to
the Devils Lake high team with a
score of 18 to % and won from One
NEE high with a score of 48 to 20.
The Devils Lake game last Friday
was the big game of course and local
rooters were there to the capacity of
the gymnasium, but of no avail, altho
the locals had the lead the end Of the
first half with score of II to Z. How
ever the Devils Lake boys went into
the second half determined to win and
when time was called had the long
end of the score.
We presume that alibis are not
necessary but nevertheless we have
two to offer. First, the Ferguson boys,
of the local team were under the
weather and should not have been in
the game. This in the case of Ralph
Ferguson was particularly noticeable,
as "Brud" is ordinarily the principal
point getter for Bottineau high, but
Friday night he simply could not get

referee the Devils Lake boys brought
with them. This individual in his
younger days was a Carlisle Univer-
sity star and probably knew the game
then but that is years ago and the
said gentleman while refereeing the
second half Of the game here, only
seemed to see one side of the play and
that side favored Devils Lake.
Coach Brown of the local team tells
Courant reporter that the Devils
Lake boys realized that their own ref
cree was not just what he should have
been here and agreed to come back at
a later date and meet the locals on
any terms they desire.
Last night the locals played One
NEE and were successful in piling up
48 to 20 score. Second string men were
used for over half the game by the To-
Gals. The Omemee boys are good
losers and the game was clean one.

MARKETING STEERS

Two months feeding turned loss
INTO a profit, that is feeding bunch
of 48 steers SO days on corn fodder
brought them to a higher finish and
to better time for marketing. On Oc-
tober 25th, 5 steers typical of a
bunch of So were sold at the West
Fargo Packing Plant for 10 cents per
pound. bringing s91.40 each. The 9TH
or 40 head were fed corn fodder till
Decenber 22d, when they were sold
for 1906 cents and brought S132 %
zach. The increase in price for this
feeding period amounted to $2075.19
or $500 per acre for the corn fodder
consumed not making any allowance
for the labor or cost of shelter.
Prof. Shepperd in commenting on
this states:
"This shows the folly of throwing
cattle on the market in competition
With grass fat ranged stock and the
orofit that can be secured by doing
What is called, short feeding or warm
,ng up cattle, which carries them past
he grass fat competition"
These cattle had a straw shed for
,helter and were fed corn fodder in
heap racks that were set around in
he pasture. 81 purebred brood sows
picked up the shell corn that would
otherwise have been wasted by the
,teers and had excellent exercise IN
edition to all the feed that they re-
.quired.

STATE MANAGER
RANSOM COUNTY SHERIFF, NOW
HEADS LEAGUE FORCES
IN NORTH DAKOTA

Raymond W. Craig, OF Lisbon, is
the, new state manager for the Non
partisan League in North Dakota
taking the position made vacant by
the resignation of Axel Strom, who
will enter business for himself in Far
go. Mr.. Strom held a position for two
years and in that time was very sue
cessful, for in those years the League
won it's greatest victories-the gener
al election and the referendum Of
1918. He came from Williams County
where he had been sheriff.
An Old-Time Insurgent
The new state manager, Mr. Craig,
entered politics in Ransom County
and fought the old gang successfully
there. He campaigned the county on
horseback in 1916 and although run
ming on the Bull Moose ticket, de-
feated the republican gang nominee.
He was reelected in 1918 without op-
position, but when war came resigned
the office and went to officers train
ing camp at TT. Smelling. He was COM
missioned as first lieutenant and af-
ter service in France was promoted
to captaincy. After a year in France,
he returned OF Lisbon and began the
practice of law. -... 81. s..
Another Minister'S Son
His father was we'll known through
out the state, the Rev. r. Fl. Craig,
who was pastor of M. E.. Churches at
Bismarck, Dickinson and Enderlin.
His death took place at the latter
place in June 1919, while his son was
on his way home from France. Rev.
Craig was born in county Sligo, Uu-
ster, Ireland. He came to Canada and
then to North Dakota, his first ser
mon being preached at st. Thomas. He
was also a missionary to India, and
the new State Manager of the Lea
que, then a boy, accompanied his par
ents to the land that Kipling made
famous. Returning from India Rev.
Craig and family went to Toronto,
Canada, where the son began his collie
giate education, which was later COM
pleted at the State u of Grand Forks
Leaving college he went to Lisbon
where he entered a law firm, his
father being pastor Of the church al

CENTRAL SCHOOL NOTES

This week a number of pupils have
been given special promotions. 1t is
the first week of the second half of
the school year. Special promotions
will be made at any time that any pu-
pill qualities.
The following have been advanced
a grade:
From the second to the third grade:
Harold Charnholm, Bertha Buchanan.
From the third to the fourth grade:
James Weeks, Ruth Corbin, Hazel
Drew, Jean Nelson, Edna Schreiner,
John Blades, Margaret Durnin, Leon
ard Lien. = .~.+ =
From the fourth to the fifth:
Roberta Burr and Alice parkway.
From the fifth to the sixth: Cecil
Kirk, Phyllis Helgerson, Maurice Lee,
Harold Johnson, Pearl Peterson.
From the sixth to the seventh:
Gretchen johnson, Beth Trambley,
Theodore Eckberg, Vera Bergholtz,
Catherine Eastgate.
The high school teachers are very
much pleased with the start made al
ready by those who have just entered
the seventh grade. It is the rule that
pupils who earn special promotion will
soon be among the best of the grade
to which they have gone. 1t is also the
rule that such pupils, if obliged to
mark time by putting in the full year
in each grade, lack the stimulus that
prompts them to work up to their
ability. Pupils who receive a special
promotion and then rest on their
oars and fail to do satisfactory work
will be returned to the lower grade
Along with special promotions goes
also the necessity of special demo-
ton. Pupils who are not equal to the
work of the grade in which they are
placed should be permitted to work
in the grade where they can form the
habit Of success. .
In determining who were to receive
special promotion, standardized tests
were given in reading, spelling, and
arithmetic. By a standardized test is
meant ore that is of known difficult
ty-its difficulty having been deter
mined by it's use with many thous-
ands of children in the several grades
A certain rate Of oral reading together
with certain quality of silent read
'ng is the standard for given grade.
The Gray reading tests, considered the
best available, were used. Pupils de-
serving special promotion were ex-
oected to stand considerably above
the standard for their grade. Along
with the scores, the judgment Of the
teacher entered in as large factor
When the teacher believes that a pu-
oil possesses such ability, and such
traits Of faithfulness that he can dc
the work of the next grade, the opin-
on Of the teacher is given much
weight.
