Failure Of the launch Swan
to reach the city from Camp
Saufey last night caused many
people anxious moments for the
safety of friends aboard the
vessel.
According to passengers on
the Sister" a launch plying be
tween Pensacola and Camp
Saufey, the Swan left the wharf
at the Camp between five and
five thirty with about fifty pas
sengers for this city. The Sis
ter, according to the report, car
ried a load Of passengers over
to the beach resort but was un-
able to make a landing owing to
the high wind and heavy seas,
and Immediately turned back to
the city. The Swan, which was
tied up at the wharf, loaded the
passengers aboard and cast off
for the return trip, but when
last seen was apparently having
a hard time to make headway
against the wind and waves. The
captain of the Sister was unable
to assist the other vessel and
came to the city.
Shortly after, when the swan did
not arrive launches from the Hyer
Launch Company put out into the bay
and kept the search up all night but
up to $3.50 o'clock this morning M

found.

History

History
The history of the State Normal
School at Minot dates back to 1895
when some of the more far-sighted
citizens of the northwestern part Of
the state began to advocate the estab-
lishment of the state institution in the
western part of North Dakota. In
1909 the Constitutional Amendment
was passed establishing Normal
School at Minot. The citizens of Mi
not donated tract Of land covering
sixty acres for the school, while the
legislative session of 1911 appropriate
ed $2OO,000; $4,000 for maintenance
and the remainder for Buildings. Three
buildings were erected, a main build
ing, dormitory and a power house.
Since these were not ready for occu-
pancy in the fall of 1913, the Normal
School opened in temporary quarters
in the Armory provided through the
loyalty and generosity Of the people
of Minot. The Harrison school i'm
mediately adjoining the campus was
first leased and later purchased from
the Harrison School Board. This
building has been the home of the
Training School from the beginning
and still serves for the lower grades.
President A. G.. Crane was a strong
factor in the success Of the school and
worked indefatigably in it's best in
terests. He served the school as
President, with the exception of a
leave of absence for war service with
the U. S. Government, until the sum-
mer of 1920 when he resigned to &C.
cept position as head of the State
Normal School at Edinboro, Pa. Dur
ing the absence of Pres. Crane, VIM
e F. Clarke, director of the Training
School, effectively carried forward the
work as Acting President. Mr.. Clarke
again served as Acting President after
the resignation Of Pres. Crane, until
May, 1921, when Pres. L. H. Beeler
was placed in charge Of the school by
the Board Of Administration.
Since the opening date of the school
Sept: 30, 1913, approximately 5000
people have been actually enrolled in
its various departments and 440 grad
yates have received their Normal
School diplomas and are teaching in
the public schools of the state. Hun
dreds OF other young people have in
creased their preparation for teaching
by attendance at the local school.
The teaching Of patriotism by word
and deed is one of the chief aims of
the Normal School at Minot. Their
support Of the various forms of gov
eminent service during the war period
was highly creditable. Forty-one stu
dents and six members of the faculty
were in active service in one form
or another. Two of these made the
supreme sacrifice. Nor were those
who remained at home idle. Red Cross
work under the direction of members
of the faculty was carried on as a req
ular part of the days work, every
faculty member and student partici-
pating. The Junior Red Cross had a

ENJOYING A RAPID GROWTH

100 percent membership in the Train
ing School. Liberty bonds and Thrift
Stamps amounting to thousand of dol
! lars were purchased by members of
the school, while donations to war
activities were generous. 1t has been
and is the policy of the institution to
participate in any and all such COM
munity activities as help to foster a
genuine spirit Of patriotism among its
young people.
Curricula
The State Normal School at Minot
offers three distinct curricula: Cur
riculum IA FIVE year course for
eighth grade graduates leading to a
professional certificate; Curriculum II
A two-year course for graduates of
first class high schools, also leading to
life professional certificate. Stu
dents who complete the first four
years of curriculum or the first year
of Curriculum II are entitled to the
Elementary Diploma of the institution
and a professional certificate valid for
limited number of years. Curri-
culum lila three-year course for
eighth grade graduates is planned es-
pecially for students who must teach
before graduating. $sThe completing
Of this three year curriculum entities
the candidate to fourth grade GER
tificate valid for two years.
Aside from the regular classroom
work, such activities as literary soci-
cites, Christian Associations, and ath-
letic clubs flourish and give the stu
dents opportunities for self-expression
along many varied lines.
The motto Of the institution is "Ser-
vice First" and this is ever kept in
mind SO that students going out from
the Normal School at Minot will be
not only prepared but eager to serve
their community, state and nation, in
most efficient manner.
The Training School
The Minot State Normal School has
one of the largest training schools in
the northwest. BY an arrangement
with the Harrison school board, all the
children living in a certain district at
tend the Training School thus pro-
viding a group of average children
of all grades and conditions. The
teacher who gets her experience work.
ing with this group has had an OPP
portunity to deal with a group that is
typical of what she herself will have
to deal with when she takes charge of
a school: There are regularly in at
tendance at the Training School 225
children which makes it possible to re-
quire adequate practice in teaching of
the candidates for diplomas during the
last year of their course. Here under
the sympathetic guidance of exper-
fenced critic teachers, the students
face the real problem of teaching and
put into actual practice the results
Of their courses in theory and method.
The officials administering the Normal
School have adopted the policy of
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1922-03-30

placing the critic teachers Of the train
ing School on the same basis of quail
fcations and salary as the other in
structors of the school. This insures
high grade of work in the training
school and high grade of service
for the prospective teacher who takes
up work in this department.
The Summer Sessions
For several years the Normal school
has been operating on the four quarter
basis. There is thus provided sum-
mer term of twelve weeks which is
open to teachers of experience as we'll
as all others qualified to enter. The
teacher may thus teach during the
regular school year and carry forward
consistent program Of professional
advancement during the summer. High
School graduates may earn their Ele-
mentary Diploma by attending three
summer terms; Elementary graduates
may secure their Advanced Diploma in
similar period and all students may
make progress towards their gradua-
ton by the same amount as during
a term of the regular school year. In
fact the summer terms are especially
characterized by numbers and enthu-.
siasm. During the session of 1921
there were in attendance total Of
S37 students during one or both Of the
six weeks periods into which the sum-
mer term is divided.
Faculty ri
The administrators of the Normal
School have maintained a consistent
policy of securing as instructors men
and women of ability and experience,
reinforced by fine professional train
ing. These people have contributed
largely to the success of the school
during the nine years Of its existence.

PITCHER PRUETT,
 RUTH,S NEMESIS

Hubert Pruett, sensational south paw of the St. Louis Browns, who at tracted attention by striking out Babe Ruth three times, once with the bases full, in the second game of tho series with New York last week. has proved himself a real nemesis of the noted home run king.
 Ruth has faced Pruett ten times in three games this season, records show. and famed on seven of these occasions. He was walked twice and tapped weakly to the box on the other time so that he has failed so far to connect safely with the youngsters fadeawey, reputed to resemble the one that made Christy Mathewson fa- nous. Here is Ruth's record facing pruett:
