Education is the greatest ameliorator of nat
ural and fully human conditions known the
world over; it strikes at the heart Of vicousness,
strife, greed and even war-and the troubles of
the whole universe; it adds vision and broadness
of mind, precepts of right and wrong and incul-
Gates a spirit of Christianity and love-not
hatred. If there is any greater need OF the
nation today to put an eventual quietus upon
the discord in North Dakota and the whole
United States, it is unknown by thinking minds.

minds of the people. Can it be possible there was
ever an appeal to the public mind and thot TO,
educational betterment more urgent? Was
