STUDENTS ENROLL
FOR SPRING WORK

Registration and the making Of
study schedules was the principal or
der Of business to which students, adj
visers, and others interested gave
their first attention last Tuesday.
Wednesday, classes were organized
and work in nearly every department
started off promptly. The Training
School opened it's doors Wednesday
morning and scores Of happy pupils
returned to their tasks after the short
Easter vacation. For the first time
during this school year according to
the word Of Miss Mccarthy, acting
superintendent, every student teach.
er who had been accepted and assign
ed was. in her place ready for work.
The first chapel exercises of the
quarter were held Wednesday at spe-
cial call. President c. E. Allen pre-
sided and called attention Of the stu
dent body to several Of the general
regulations which have for their OBJ
ject the smooth conduct of the insti-
tuition. He also expressed greetings
to the "new" students and pointed Gut
to the "old" ones how delightful a
spring quarter of school. may be in
this part of the country. The usual
run of announcements was made.

her child is old enough to be interest
ed in planting a seed and watching it
grow. If there is no out-of-door gar
den at hand, a pretty way to impart
the knowledge is to plant bean in
flower pot and interest the child in
watching its growth from day to day.
How pleased he will be when the
bean plant begins to blossom! Try to
make this blossoming important, and
thus hold his interest. Show the little
blossom to his friends and playmates,
or better still, encourage him to show
it. Tell him that he must not pick
the blossom because from it will come
more beans. How can that be? Wait
and see! If possible, place the plant
in an open window where the bees can
find the flowers.
After time. the flowers will with.
er and its pretty petals fall of, but
there is left behind a tiny green bean
which grew in the heart of the flower.
Watch it become larger and larger
as the days pass. Finally, the pod vii!
be filled with little bean children!
Hold the plant against the light and
show the child the tiny beans in the
pod without picking it. Each bean
is attached to the pod by tiny stem.
Tell the child how the life Of the moth
err plant passes into the little young
beans and feeds them and enables
them to grow until they are large
enough to the mother plant and start
out in life, for themselves. When the
young beans are fully formed and
quite ready, the bean pod opens and
the beans fall out, and, if they fall on
good soil in time they too will begin
to sprout and grow into other bean
plants.
Show the child as many seeds and
seed pods as possible, those hanging
from the trees. those growing on the
plants and weeds in the garden. All
flowers grow from seeds. Everything
that lives seems to come from seeds.
Why, yes, even the little young kitten
started as tiny seed that grew in a
place prepared for it within its r1oth-
err. We should be very careful of the
mother cat, very kind and gentle with
her and never hurt her. Teach the
child to respect motherhood in the
animals as we'll as in humanity; give
him a lovely thought about mothers
and their young children, and thus
make motherhood beautiful and sacred
iH his mind. Make the development
and birth of the infant life so familiar
and SO natural to the child that when
the time comes for him to ask ques-
tions, the answer can be easily given
by the mother and easily understood
by the child who has been. prepared
and who will often answer the aues-
ton himself with a little help from
his mother. She might say, "You re-
member. about the seeds, don't you
and how they grew in their little home
at the heart Of the flower? You re-
member how we talked about the lit. /,
tie kittens and how they started the
same way as the little Seeds" The
child will often ask, "And was I lit !
tie seed like that -. If not, the. moth
er can say, "You were once tiny seed
like that. Everybody was. And think
what lot of growing you did to make
such a dear, big child with hands and
feet and ears and eyes and everything

FOR HEAL TIT RULES

The first regular chapel exercises
Of the spring term were held Thurs
day.
VI After the customary opening exer-
cises. Marie Wilds, president Of the
Student Council stepped to the plat
form and called for nominations for
two Representatives from the student
body to be elected to the Student
Council. The following nominations
were made to be voted on today:
Vivian Christensen, Mabel Morley

Eleanor Dworshak.
DR.. Marion O'Harrow, school ply
sician, concluded the exercises with a
timely talk on the prevention Of dis
ease by exercising care in the spread
of disease germs. Germs are often
carelessly transmitted by putting the
fingers, pencils, and other articles into
the mouth. When other people handle
these articles later they may contract
disease or carry the germs to others
who are more susceptible to them.
DR.. O'Harrow's, talk contained
many details regarding the simplest
rules of sanitation regarding disease

it's. Every person who heard her TAX
can, if he will break up the bad habits
she mentioned and in this way hold
to a. minimum the possibility OF germ
transference.

that he is going to be winner at the
polls next November. We have been
opposed to the recall but now that it is

The swan song of the Courier News
should fall on deaf ears. We might
suggest that Friend Liederbach, who

keep the Courier-News going. Send

The dispatches from Devils Lake
this morning convey the intelligence
that the independent convention, after
long and stormy fight, had agreed
upon a recall election to be held on
November 8. The selection Of candi-
dates will be made today, perhaps, and
some sort of an idea of what we will
be up against in the way of candidates
will soon be known. AS one of the
strongest independents in the state
none have been stronger and no ope
has done more hard work for the
forces Of good government, the editor
wants to say that calling a recall
election is i'll advised. If they could
comnromise until November why not
put yhe whole matter off until the
June primaries. only six months later.
1t seems to US to be most ridiculous
proposition, to say the least. We have
a regular primary election coming
next year. Only six months or so
from the time set for a recall election
and that will make two bitter fights
where one is only necessary and con-
ditions at the time the primary cleo
ton rolls around will be much better.
The convention is governed by an ele-
ment that is altogether too radical in
their views. Now that the election IS
decided upon the only alternative OF
course left to US is to support the pro-
position, much as it is against our
inclination. We certainly cannot
stand for the present regime to be
continued in Office so the only way to
do under such circumstances is to fight
to the finish. No matter what our per,
sonal views are, however, we are still
of the opinion that large majority
of the Independent voters of the state
would much rather have had this cleo
ton put off until the next June prl-
mares.

The recall election has been definite
ly decided upon by the convention at
Devils Lake and on November 3 the
election will be held to recall the gov
ernor, attorney general and commits
sioner of agriculture, known as the
administration board. The die has now
been cast, much as we regret the acs
ton Of that convention; and it IS now
up to the people. For governor the
convention nominated R. A. Nestos
Of .Minot, very capable gentleman
and one who has very clean record
in this state. We do not believe the
opposition can say a word against the
nominee for governor. He is sue

make a good governor. s. johnson

officials is good policy. They have

by that time we think the people of the
state will have had such a large sup

not be summoned until listers at
titude had been learned, but coin
cident with the calling of a meeting
OF this body come conflicting reports
from Dublin and Belfast concerning
listers position.
In Dublin it is reported that Ulster
has been sounded and has returned
an answer unfavorable to the Sim
Fem overtures, while in Belfast, af-
ter an important meeting of the cab
met, 1t was authoritaitvely stated
that the Ulster ministry had received
no communication from Mr.. De Val
era.
Discussion Before Cabinet. :.
While these reports at first glance
seem irreconciliable, it is pointed out
that possibly both may be correct.
The fact that Ulster cabinet itself
has not received a communication
would not, 1t is noted, preclude the
possibility of an informal discussion
between the Northern and Southern
leaders.
A dispatch to the Evening News
from Belfast today asserts that the
Ulster cabinet at these meetings dis
cussed an invitation from the Dali
Eireann to Sir James Craig, the Ul-
ster premier, asking him to attend a
conference in Dublin with a view to
determining listers attitudes. II
adds that there Is no possibility
however, Of another meeting between
Sir James and Mr.. De Valera in Dub
lin, alth ,ugh the Ulster premier Is
willing to meet the republican leader
with Premier Lloyd George in Lon
don.
Out of these conflicting reports
however, arises the outstanding fact
that the republican parliament Is to
meet, which is taken to mean I'M
doubtedly that Mr.. De Valera will
give a reply to Mr.. Lloyd George in
the immediate future.
Know of No Communication
Official quarters in London know
Of no communications having been
passed between Mr.. De Valera and
the northern cabinet. but 1t was un :
derstood from another source that
premier Lloyd George after confer
ring with Sir James in London this
, week. sent message to Mr.. De VAL

SIGNING OF ATREATY
Ceremonies That Were Carried
Out Seventy Years Ago Are
To Be Reproduced

One Of the principle episodes in
the big historical pageant to be given
at st. Peter on August IS and Is
will deal with the famous treaty OF
Traverse des Sioux, which was con.
summated seventy years ago, and un-
der the terms Of which the Sioux Ma
ton coded away one of the richest
areas in the world.
The treaty Of Traverse des Sioux
was one of the most important events
in the early history of Minnesota
Late in June, 1851, Governor Alex
ander Ramsey and Colonel Luke Lea
United States commissioner of In
dian affairs, travelled to Traverse des
Sioux, then the largest trading post
in the northwest, to meet the lead
ing chiefs of the Sisseton, Wahpetor
and Decotah tribes. A delay fol-
lowed and it was not until July Is
that all of the leaders expected had
arrived. On that date the United
State commissioners opened the
grand council and on July % the
treaty was completed and signed.
Signing Was CeremonIous.
The signing was very ceremonious
After the customary pipe of peace
had been passed from Ramsey anG
Lea around the circle of powerful
chiefs, the document was read in
English and then translated into the
Dakota tongue by Rev. S. R. Riggs
an early Presbyterian missionary
Throughout the proceedings the In
dams were most attentive, and at the
end each chief signif1ed his acquiesc-
ence by advancing to the table oil
the secretary and touching his pen.
According to the terms of the
treaty the Indians were to receive
$250,000 in annual payments for the
vast region, which included all the
Indians lands lying west of the Mis-
stssippi river and contained approx
mately 100000 acres. They re.
tanned a reservation, ten miles II
width, extending along the Minnesota
river from a point about ten miles
above New Ulm to the headwaters
and the failure of the government t.
make the annuity payments properly
has always been regarded as one o.
the primary causes of the bloody
outbreak of 1862
Fourteen years ago the state O.
Minnesota acquired title to the treaty
site, and hundreds of persons viii
