completion Of a course of study Of
biblical matters. outlined in q sylla-
bus printed by the North? Dakota de-
partment. This study Is outside Of

ton of the course Of study, the stu
dent. must pass a written examination

Data concerning the North Dakota
plan has been sent over most OF, the
civilized world in answer to inquiries.
Miss Nelson said In discussing the

stage, and q large number Of the
states Of the Union have adopted
either the North Dakota plan direct,
or are considering some modification
