campaign of 1922. Mr.. Liederbach
sarcastically remarked that he did not
know what the plans Of the league
would be next year. He wanted the
nonpartisans to lay low and give Mes
tos chance to get farmers farm
loans at lower rate of interest, to
raise the price of farm products, to
cause the sun to shine twenty-four
hours day in North Dakota and to
change the climatic conditions so that
there would be eternal summer and
happiness. The Nestos adminlstra-
ton did not pledge itself to bring
about new day in this state, but it
did pledge itself to restore confidence
and to bring about reforms IN the
various institutions as we'll as to save
the tax payers many thousands OF dol
lars in useless salaries and expendi-
tures-in other words the independ..
ents promised to bring order out OF
chaos, bring back restored confidence
in the State of North Dakota and to
sell bonds at par or better to get
money to further the industrial pro-
gram of the state as pledged in the
recall election. This is being done
right along and the festive Aaron
knows it only too we'll. By the time
next June rolls around we rather think
that the people will realize that the in

If the new administration can hold
the pace set during the past ten
days it is going to take compare
lively short time to get order out of
the chaos left by the officials recalled
in the October election. Governor
Nestos, Attorney General johnson
and Commissioner Kitchen start the
days work at 8 o'clock in the morning,
an hour earlier than the usual custom,
and the industrial commission is US
ually found in session up till mid
night. The result of this hard work
is already beginning to show. The
muddled-up bond sale situation has
been cleared and the bonds disposed
of on much better terms than were
hoped for after the last minute con-
tract entered into by the retired ad-
ministration, and at an estimated
saving to the taxpayers of approx
mately $25O,00000. Reductions have
been made in unnecessary or illegal
ly high salaries in cases where the
administration was in position to act
forthwith and steps have been taken
to carry this policy of economy into
the insurance department, the board
of administration and the workmen's
compensation bureau. Several un-
necessary jobholders have been re-
quested to resign. Secretary L. p.
Crawford of the industrial commits

SOME LESSONS The
WORLD WAR TAUGHT

The faculty and students enjoyed
an interesting, short talk given at
Thursdays chapel by DR.. c. L: kjer-
stad. He spoke on the lessons in edu-
cation from the recent war.
DR.. Kjerstad began by saying that
the National Americanization Com
mission, composed of the American
Legion members, brought forth res
olution which was adopted by the
American Legion meeting at Kansas
City, Mo-, providing for this education
week Dec. to Dec. 10. This resolu-
ton emphasizes the need of a COM
plete education for both native and
foreign born. 1t means more to US
that this resolution comes from the
American soldiers.
In comparing the soldier of knight
hood with the modern soldier, the lat
ter shows the start of new era, that
everyone must be able to read and
write. The battlefelds of France
made them realize more than ever
that in education and educational en-
lightenment lies the safety Of the
country and the flag.
One Of the greatest lessons taught
by the war is the need for education
in health and disease; in the army we
find IS per cent rejected because of
being physically unfit. In two years,
$4,000 lives were lost in battle, while
100000 lives in the United States were
lost from cancer, which is said to be
a preventable disease if taken in time.
Likewise in the schools IS per cent
Il of ~ are physically or mentally
defective. North Dakota alone has
5000 adult illiterates. The United
States ranks ninth among the nations
in illiteracy.
Peoples and nations are imbued
with ideals and attitudes. The Brit
ish soldier could not understand the
German soldier. The German soldier
could not understand the American
soldier. The former did not seem to
want to play the game "fair." The
German soldier also did not see how
the American soldier can go to war
without the necessary preliminary
training. Why not stop HIS mad
rush with kammerade? Even today
UOyo VI NtIllldIl pdIcIlCS are SClIl Hcl-
man. Does that not mean that the
home, the school, and the environment
are means Of creating ideals and at
titudes? We might ask ourselves the
following questions: Are we solving
problems thru education? Are we
able to take care of these problems?
DR.. Kjerstad closed by saying that
we are still failing in our attempts to
keep children in school. In North Da-
kota the average daily attendance is
as follows: &C per cent for all; 81 per
cent from the farm pupils; IS per cent
from the city; rs per cent in the
North Central States; and 81 per cent
for the United States. North Dakota
is one per cent below that for the
United States. The average number
days attendance per person is 119
for all; 103 from the farm; 1853 from
the city; 1856 for the North Central
States; and 121 in the United States.
If, then, the child is in school on the
average only 100 days out Of the year
ore one hour out of every twelve, the
influence of the school will not be felt
in very large measure. One problem
of the teacher in North Dakota is to
aid the state in keeping the child in
school, during at least the major part
of the time that it is in session.

be considerable friction or misunder-

state who will regret very much to
have him leave the institution.

The city is fortunate in having such
live organizations in the city as the
Rotary club and the Town Criers club.
The success of the recital at the
State Teachers College, from finan-
cial standpoint at least, is largely the
result Of the efforts of these clubs in
soliciting the sale of tickets. Valley
City is unique in musical circles in
enjoying the reputation of being the
only city of our size in the United
States which consistently supports
singers of international reputation,
having one here each year. Valley
City is known throughout the nation
as musical center, the citizens OF
which insist upon the best obtainable
and will not permit Of the presentation
of mediocre performance. This rep
utation was endangered in this in
stance as financial conditions made
the sale of tickets to the recital a
very hard matter and the manage
ment was afraid that they were going
to encounter a loss through their con-
tract with Miss Case. An appeal was
made to the above mentioned clubs
and the members of the organizations
took the matter in hand and canvassed
the city with tickets. AS result of
this prompt action the management
were enabled to ego over the top
Any city having clubs made up OF
such live members as the members OF
our own Rotary and Town Crlers
clubs is to be congratulated.

during the conference. This letter
voiced Frances objection to leniency

rations and said:
