ditions of the state institutions ALSO was
discussed.
According to present indications, it
was decided that the least damage would
be done now, inasmuch as 1t might be
possible to live down between now and
election to some extent some of the glar-
Ing mistakes of the Goodrich admins
tration which must certainly be accen-
tuated by the assembly.
, The governor has indicated that If
the Legislature actually conyenes, it will
not be prevented from acting on the pro-
posal 10Y build a state war memorial
building to house the national head
quarters of the American legion, as was
the case at the last special session.
The Goodrich tax law also will very
likely be considered If the assembly con-
venes.
The legislature may carry out the Nc
Cray tax plank in the republican plat
form which demands that local self gov
eminent, taken away from the people
by the Goodrich administration, be re-
stored.

eighteen points, which he wished taken

Of errors in the county unit highway

CLASSES PRESENT
ORIGINAL PROGRAM

.. Last Saturday afternoon from 2:3(
to 4 p. m. the classes and societies
presented an original program in the
auditorium for "Better Speech Week.
The first "stunt" to be given, was
presented by members of the first year
class. The purpose of it was to show
the need of more extensive knowl.
edge of the use of adjectives. A pa.
per was read in which almost every
object was described as being sine
Correct words of description were
then supplied which greatly improved
the theme.
The next "stunt" to be given was q
scene from Ivanhoe by the second year
class. 1t showed the different ele-
ments which make up the English
language. The scene was that of the
feast and the costumes were very well
chosen for that time.
The third year class represented a
class in reading with it's teacher. The
story of "Little Red Riding Hood"
was told by several members of the
class, using the correct form of verbs.
The "stunt" presented by the Jun
iors consisted Of two distinct parts.
The first showed how certain auxil-
larry verbs are combined with par
ticiples. The second part consisted of
a reading by one of the members of
the Junior class. The story was writ
ten by girl at St. Mary's Academy
in Faribault, Minnesota, and was re-
printed in an English Journal. The
language used is an exaggeration of
the slang which we-commonly hear but
nevertheless it illustrates the point
1t shows the conditions we would be
in if our slang expressions by means
Of figures of speech, should really be
true.
A doctor and his assistants, all men,
bers of the Senior Glass, performed
series of operations for bad English
on the other classes of the Normal
School and even included the faculty..
The cures prescribed were several
years attendance at the Valley City
Normal School, grammar, books, and
such expressions as "Watch Your
Speech"
The Atheneum, Philomathian, Gil
oman and the E. B. C. Literary So
cieties gave a clever play or mock
trial which showed the good influence
Of favorable surroundings on the
poorer class Of people. Jean Jefferson
was taken into court for serious abuse
of the English language. After one
month of regular attendance at school
and good associations she was much
improved.
These "stunts" were all very we'll
worked out and showed careful plan
ming on the part of each organization.
Between each "act" several songs
were sung. The program concluded
with the singing of the Loyalty Song
and the giving of nine rahs for "Bet-
ter Speech Week." N. H.

READS STORY FOR
CHAPEL AUDIENCE

AS a part of the chapel exercises
Tuesday morning Mrs. Daniels of the
primary department in the Training
School told story entitled "The Lit
tie Gray Dove" It was taken from
Miss Bertha Merillda Rhodes's "All
Aboard the Story Boat" A synopsis
Of the story follows.
Jimmy had little gray dove that
would carry messages under its wing.
Often when he was out in the forest,
Jimmy fastened message under the
birds wing such as II shall soon be
there, mother" and the bird would
take it to the dove-house. Here it's
wings brushed the little bell whose
soft ting-a-ling told the mother there
was message for her.
When Jimmy's father went away
to war in France the little gray dove,
accompanied him for some distance
from their home. He,brought back the
fathers last message which told
Jimmy to be brave boy and take
good care of his mother.
One day Jimmy and this mother
saw notice in a paper asking for
pigeons to do war work in France.
Jimmy thought it was his duty to send
his dove and very soon the. bird was on
it's way to France. Jimmy's father
and some men from his company were
in dugout when a bird lighted near
them. Jimmy's father recognized his
sons dove. A message was fastened to
the ring carried by the bird, and con-
tanned valuable information for the
men of the company. And 50 it hap
pened that the little gray dove per-
formed an important task in the SER
vice of the great world war.
Some time later Jimmy's father was
sent home. The little boy and his
mother were startled one day to hear
the bell in the dove-house go ting-a-
'ling-ling. Jimmy's gray dove was
there with message from father: Il
am at the foot of the mountain"
The story was very we'll told by
Mrs. Daniels and was enjoyed by ev-
eryone. In her Introductory remarks
the speaker indicated that story tell
ing as an art Is age old. There have
been many ways in which good stories
have been passed on from one genera
ton to the next. There is growing
appreciation of the educational value
which good stories, well-told, have.

BANKERS VIEWS ON
BUSINESS ENGLISH.

During chapel last Saturday Mr.
Frank White, president Of the Middle
west Trust Company of Valley City
spoke on the value Of good language
to person in business relations.
Business is the transfer of COM
modities from one person to another
It matters not what his business is
craftsmanship enters into it.
with a man to whom the salesman is
selling. He must make a crafty ap-
proach and approach the prospective
customer in such a way as not to mar
the sales. The salesman should have
an attractive beginning sentence. To
illustrate:
A young man entered the bank re-
Gently and without introducing himself
began: "In your extensive business
you make great use Of the long dis
lance telephone (merely oiling the way
for the next statement). You have
great difficulty with local noises. We
have an instrument, ETC., ETC." His
language and his sentence structure
were very convincing.
Before a salesman leaves on a trip
or is to be connected in any way with
transaction, he is called into the
head office and instructed how to APP
proach his man regarding tools and
new commodities. He is taught how
to describe them in specific language.
The salesman must learn how to pre-
sent his subject and the language
which is best to use.
Every letter and catalog salesman
receives is placed on file. A man goes
through these letters and takes out
sentence here and there which ap-
peals to him. He sends out the letter
and if a reply is forthcoming, the form
letter is right; but if no reply is sent
something is wrong and he works over
the form letter until one is written
that secures the business. Much de-
ponds on the language used in the first
sentence.
In closing Mr.. White said that we
should make our letters of application
curt, and to the point. Use good Ian
guage, consult your teachers about the
letter, so that no error is made. Much
depends on the grammar used in writ
ing a letter of such a type. '.s
