Promising Outlook Predicted for Fall Term Of Northwest School

ers, provide an educational enterprise
that every young man and woman Of
the Red River Valley should take ad-
vantage of by reason that it Is COM
plete. The school not only builds char
acter and develops the mind and body,
but imparts to the young man and wo-
man the fundamental principles Of ag-
riculture and home making, which are
the foundation of our great nation
Gertrude Osterloh, Of Angus, who is
now student nurse at Bethesda Hos
pital, Crookston, found somewhat the
same difficulty in presenting her
views as to the benefits she received.
She states: AT the N. w. S. A.,
received a great deal out of so many
things that 1 would hardly know just
from which had the most benefit. My
greatest interest was in nursing and
consequently any courses that involv-
ed this branch appealed to me the
most"
Nels Palm, IA, Alvarado, president
of the N. w. S. A. Alumni Associa-
ton, found in the regular agriculture
al work a very valuable training In
addition, he states: "The School has
also such activities rs athletics, mus
ic, Y. NJ. c. A., and debating societies, 8
which are Of great help to the stud
ents when they return to their respect
i've communities" ~. w.
Oscar Tunheim, II, who is managing
farm near Newfolden, besides taking
care of fine chubby baby boy, be-
tween times, must have had in mind
the fine moonlight evenings of school
days, when he wrote: "The memory
OF the four years spent at CrOOkstOn
is more like pleasant dream than
anything else. It is a place that is
just like Home, Sweet Home, with it's
staff of we'll trained teachers/and fine
spirit" No school can have a nobler
ideal than such one.
Guy Spokely, '18, in an unguarded
moment, gave his verdict, which was
very similar, when he stated "The
happiest days of my life were those
spent at the agricultural school, those
spent in the dormitory." He added
that, while the preceptors imposed
the dictates Of stern duty upon him
once in while, he did not mind, as
he hardly expected to have his own
way all the time.
Mrs. Harold H. Grandy blanche
Morrison), '16, now living in Mime
apolis, writes in no uncertain terms
| of the value of the home training
| work taken at the N. w. School. Har-
old Grandy, Is, also graduate, states
he is willing to present himself as
unanswerable evidence in affirmation.
She goes on to say: During my three
years study at the N. w. School of
Agriculture, 10 to 49, am sure that
the most practical knowledge acluir-
ed by me was in the study of domest-
ic science, especially in cooking and
home management, which have been
of great benefit to me-"
Theodore Peterson, 10, of Fisher,
is another alumnus who has a clear
idea Of the benefits he received at the
school. He writes: ri do not think
there is a better school for a person
to go to if he plans to be a farmer,
and If his plans change, he will have
no loss. What liked best at the Agri-
cultural School is the way the stud
ents are looked after. They receive
real home care. Debating, associa-
ton with students and faculty, and
horticultural work, benefited me
most"
Captain Martinus Stenseth, '16, who
won signal honors in France, and has
the distinction of being Minneso1a's
highest lace" in the A. E. F. air SER
vice gives his viewpoint:
by attracting class of students
that would not otherwise secure nth
er education, the N. w. s. A. is serv-
ing very useful purpose. The school
creates an initial ambition in such
students and sends them back to their
farms with new aspirations, or directs
them to other positions of service"
From Roseau county, Clarence Lee,
'18, takes pen in hand and expresses
himself: my opinion of the North
west School is that the training CIV
en- there is very we'll balanced ra-
ton, and for a dual-purpose man, or
woman, believe no other school can
beat it! I might say that the studies,
Rural Sociology and Marketing, broad
ened my views of world economic at
fairs, which, believe, has been beEe-
; fetal to me-"
Harold B. Schuck, Is, has express
ed in beautiful language two great as
sets in his life that he gained at
school,:
'The two greatest and most dis
tinct benefits, as see them now, are
first, the friendship and happy ac-
quaintance with my schoolmates, and,
through them, the understanding and
feeling of kinship with their folks,
who, in their strength and vision, have
made this country. Second, the
knowing and having the benefit of as
sociating with the faculty who, by
their precept and practice, gave me
: an example of honest and loyal devo-
ton to their fellow men. Having had
this privilege, one would be poor
fellow who could not assimilate lit.
