REVIEW 0FTHE
FOOTBALL SEASON

The football season proved very
successful for our school this year.
Although the boys had a late start
and many of the men were new, we
consider ourselves fortunate in hav-
ing team made up of earnest play
ers and Al sportsmen.
At Jamestown the opposing team
completely outclassed our men in
size, weight and practice.
At Moorhead they again suffered
defeat. Although they played we'll the
combat was hopeless as the other team
consisted Of veteran players.
After suffering, two defeats they
picked up. With the addition of a
few new players, sprinkling of "pep',
and little practice, our boys brought
the season to close by gaining VIC
tories over Glendale and Wahpeton.
The team regrets very much that
weather conditions prevented game
with Concordia which the boys looked
forward to, and might we add scrim-
mage with the High School? :
IF the basketball season results in
as many victories, we have no cause
to worry about the athletic ability of

DR.. W. F.'C0BB AID.
DRESSES STUDENTS

DR.. w. F. Cobb visited the school
Thursday and spoke in chapel. He is
representative of the United States
lnter-departmental Social Hygiene
Board, which was established during
the war to carry on the program Of
hygiene.
The usual span Of life has been ex-
tended to sixty years, the speaker said.
This has been done by attention to
hygiene. But while the span of life
has been extended, the span of health
aas been neglected. DR.. Peterson has
found that the average span Of health
Is twenty years. During the rest Of
Life the individual suffers from var
ious petty ills because of. failure to
obey the laws of health. Perhaps it
is better to live well than to live long.
The greater emphasis should be placed
On frightening the span Of health.
The work of this board is divided
into four parts. /, Individual health
examination; 2, Health instruction;
3, Medical Investigation and 4, Social
Hygiene.
The Valley City State Normal may
well be proud of the fact that it is one
sf thirty schools in the United States
selected by the federal government to
teach hygiene and to receive federal
rid IN the work.

MUSEUM HAS L..
new SPECIMENS

The museum has recently received
several new and interesting things
which will add greatly to the various
collections already on hand. Perhaps
the most attractive of these new
things is number of birds which were
given to the museum by interested
friends. The following list of birds
was presented by the training school
children: Robin (male), English spar
row (male), catbirl female), oriole
(female) veery (female), and the
birds were found dead by the children.
A sparrow hawk (male), kingfsher
(male) and a king bird (male) were
the gift of Clifford Granger, and a
large Canadian goose (male) was Civ
en- by Otto Faust. This goose is quite
commonly known as the 1honker. It
was found dead by Mr.. Faust, but, in
such good condition that it makes a
splendid specimen for the museum
All of these birds were found in or
around Valley City, and, all are COM
mon North Dakota birds. Both the
museum and the school greatly appre-
ciate these gifts. They add very much
to the interest Of the bird collection
as well as to the number of speci-
mems.
Several new collections of pictures
have just arrived. The Mentor pic.
lures consist of three sets on cos.
tunes and designs for different per.
iods of time. The periods included in
these three sets are the Egyptian
dress Of men and women to the thir.
teenth century; the fourteenth cen.
fury to the latter half of the six.
teenth; the seventeenth century to the
Victorian period. The new Pictorial
Geography pictures sent out by the
National Geography Society are or
India, Africa, China and the Phil.
ippines. Six sets of Longman's His.
torical Illustrations are among the re.
cent collections. These pictures arr
for use in history particularly and are
especially good. They illustrate the
type Of home, dress, architecture
ships and various other things from
the eleventh century up through thu
fifteenth. :

FINE SPEEC HES AT

| Last THURSDAY evening, the ia. nes
County livestock Association had a
4 most enjoyable banquet prepared in
I fine style by j. w. Aldrlch at the Kin
dred Hotel. About eight nen and
women were present and an excellent
spirit prevailed throughout the eve
ming. Music was furnished BY the
Midwest Melody Men. G. s. brown
Of the Springdale Stock Company, pre-
sided as POSTMASTER in his usual cap
able manner. Sam Fletcher was call
ed upon and gave the history Of the
pure bred livestock industry in Barnes
County. u. T.. Burdick Of Williston,
who has recently been appointed pres.
ident Of the North Dakota Federation
Of Farm Bureaus, gave, IN q very cap
able manner, a review Of the livestock
situation in relation to permanent
agriculture. He also commented on
the future prospect Of the production
OF horses, diaries, beef and hogs. The
next speaker was H. B. Fuller, state
county agent leader Of the AgKicul-
tural College. Mr. Fuller spoke about
the State Farm Bureau Federation
and some Of the things the National
Farm Bureau has been doing. AZ j.
Mclnnes, president of the Barnes
County Farm Bureau, commented on
the possibilities Of the state organiza-
ton and encouraged development of
the local farm bureau. Dave Richie
discussed the relation Of the livestock
situation to the county fair, referring
particularly to. their educational posi-
ton IN exhibiting and showing ami
mails OF superior type. +. 4. Calnan,

sponded to q toast on the future Of
hog raising. Mr.. Nelson expressed
the belief that pig raising has albright

start raising pure bred hogs when
feed is cheap and pigs can be secured
at very low price Following this.
j. J. Farley discussed the money
question. He reviewed the financial
situation in a thorough and scholarly
manner, showing that he had given
the subject much thought. Mr.. EARLY
called attention to the fact that not
only the price Of wheat, but that all
other raw products is low such at cot
ton, iron, steel and wool. Mr.. Farley

products were lower than finished pro-
ducts because less labor is connected
with the production Of raw materials
that, the finished products.

KILLED WHEN CAR
PLUNCES INTO PIT

The body of Henry Vogel, Fl, was
found dead, pinned underneath his
Ford car in a sand pit near the Con-
rad Reitze home about 10 miles north
Of this city, early Sunday morning.
The body when found, was pinned un-
derneath the car, the steering wheel
resting on his chast. He had been
dead for some time then. ~
As near as can be determined, the
catastrophe was an accident, pure and
simple. The sand pit is several feet
away from the road, and is between
fifteen and twenty feet deep. One
theory for the accident which has been
advanced, is that he was driving
without lights, and got off the road,
plunging down the steep embankment,
and from the marks on the side of the
pit, it is thought the car turned over
several times in the fall. The road is
not main thoroughfare, but is used
by farmers in that vicinity. Saturday
night was rather foggy, and this may
have caused him to lose his way.
No inquest was held by Coroner
Hoiberg, as he expressed the belief
that the whole affair was an accident.
The body is being held in the Holberg
Undertaking Parlors, awaiting ar
rsngen,ents to be made by the par
snts for the funeral.
The funeral will be held at two
o'clock Tuesday, from the Zion church
in that neighborhood, according to ar
engagements completed late today. In
torment will be made in the Zion
church cemetery.

TEACHERS REPORT
WORK OF N. D. E. A.

Last Tuesday in chapel four of the
members of the faculty were each al
lowed five minutes to give brief sum.
mary of the work in their departments
as carried out at the N. D. E. A. al
Grand Forks.
The first one to tell of his exper.
fence was Mr.. Wemett, the head of the
history department. He gave briefly
the program of the Wednesday after
noon session. The first talk Thursday
afternoon was "Vitalizing the Teach
ing of History" by President S. T.
May of the Dickinson Normal School,
Historical Pageantry" by DR.. Alvold
of the Agricultural College and also
a demonstration of the use Of the
victrola in connection with history by
S. Dana Townshend were of especial
interest. .naG ~
Miss Susan Mccoy, the head of the
English department, stated that some
people enjoyed attending Teachers
Associations but did not like the meet
ings. She, however, enjoyed the meet
ings more than merely attending the
association. She emphasized four
points in her talk. First, the need Of
minimum requirements in English.
Second, the wise use of periodical lit
erature. Third, the value Of dramatics
to the school and community. Care in
selection of plays. Fourth, the need of
learning to read aloud. Selections for
public readings should represent the
elimination of the years study and
should not be chosen merely for their
dramatic appeal.
Mr.. Meyer, who is interested in
mathematics, told US how the meet
ings were conducted in his depart
ment. In the morning there was
general assembly and after that they
adjourned to the departmental meet
ings. A paper written by Mr.. Louis
Rhoades on Mathematical Essentials
for the Profitable Pursuit of Ele-
Physics" was read by Mr..
Meyer. Then followed an address on
''The Work Of the National Committee
of Mathematical Requirements and
the main points of it's Preliminary
Findings" by J. A. Froberg of Chica-
pers had been arranged for but all
were not given. However, the paper
on "The desirability and possibility
of, including work in demonstrative
geometry in the ninth grade" by Miss
Lillian Gubelman was given. Mr..
Meyer had a paper on New material
and other suggestions for making this
report more serviceable." A general
discussion was held on each topic.
The preparations for anything in
the line of music were made so late
that they could not be printed on the
program. Miss Amidon, the head of
The department of public school -mu-
sic, said that a good deal of telephon-
ing had to be done before the people
interested in music knew that any ar
had been made. Several
talks were given. One
lecture was on the organization of
bands in school. Miss Amidon spoke
on Emusic in the Rural Schools" in
which subject she is greatly interested.

"A drive which asks for no money
but urges you to increase your own
capital. How? Improve your speech"
Though the week of November 2
was observed throughout the United
States as American Speech Week it
seemed best for US to postpone our
celebration until later date. The
time set is the week of November 80.

ious art classes are planning and

fered three prizes, of one, two and
three dollars each for the three post
ers best thought out and most artis-
tically executed. The English classes

Hramatizations illustrative of better
speech. 1t is hoped that each of the
classes and organizations will be in
some way represented in the program
Of the week.

not to amuse and entertain, but rath-
