ARNSD0RF TO
IEAVEN. OAK,

North Dakota soon is to lose two
prominent and popular young educa-
tors in the departure of A. L: Schafer,
state high school inspector, for Wash
ingtUn, D. c., to take the post OF d.
rector of the bureau OF scnool en-
rollnent with the Junior Red Cross,
and the departure of H. G. Arnsdorf.
deputy superintendent of public in
struction, for Minneapolis, where he
will assume the post Of assistant reg
istrar at the University of Minnesota.
A. l. Schafer is a graduate OF
Wesleyan college Of the University OF
North Dakota. He did some post
graduate work at the University Of
Minnesota prior to taking up his ca
reer as an educator in this state. He
had held the post superintendent of
schools in Darlington for six years
when he resigned in the early stages
of Americas participation in the
worlds war to take up Y. M. c. A
work as secretary. Later he was
transferred to the Red Cross service,
with a first lieutenant-s commission.
Upon the close Of the war he returned
to North Dakota, and last July Miss
Nelson appointed him state high
school inspector to succeed E. r Ed
wards Of Jamestown, who resigned to
become city superintendent of schools
at Yankton. In his new capacity Mr..
Schafer has made an enviable record,
and his friends feel that his talents
insure him a bright future IN the
national educational field which he IS
soon to enter.
H.G Arnsdorf: deputy state super
intendent of instruction, graduated
from the University of Wisconsin IN
1912 and then came to the Valley City
normal school, first as publicity agent
later as institutional secretary and
finally as registrar. which post ne
resigned in January, 1919, after seven
years service with the normal school,
to become Miss Nelson's deputy, in
which position he has served fifteen
months.
Mr.. Arnsdorf enjoys wider &C
quaintance, in all probability, than
any man Of his years who ever has
done educational work in North Da-
kota. He is blessed with particular
" engaging personality, and those
who know him best regard the Mime
sofa U as fortunate in securing MS
services as assistant registrar:
Both Messrs!' Schafer and Arnsdorf
and their families have made many
warm friends during their residence
in the capital city.
Miss Nelson has not as yet an
nounced the names of the new deputy
state superintendent and state high
school inspector. Messrs. Alnsdort
and Schafer will retain their present
positions until their successors are
urepared to take up the work.

one of the first requests made Of
Chief Griffin was that he be ''mugged"

was because of the fact he is familiar

It was All Fools day, It's a fact that
chief Griffin smilingly put the taboo
on the proposition of sitting in the

him.
