to Jan. 1, 1898. Mr.. Meyer reported
that on his western trip, undertaken
at the suggestion Of the president,

that everywhere hope and confidence

which six months ago was so widely
prevalent. ~

MANY SEE
STATE FILMS
AT A INSTITUTES
Mr.. Hollis Proves Value o
Moving Picture in Educa-
tional Circles

! fargo, N. q. May 3.-About 1900
people in North Dakota saw films of
the extension department OF the Agri-
cultural Collsge, exhibited at the varf-
GUS farmers institutes throughout the
state This winter, ssN. p. Hollis head
Of the visual instruction department
has announced. I'LL. !
TO prove the value of motion pic.
ture education, Mr.. Hollis carried out
a series OF experiments with children
in the public schools OF Lisbon, N. d.
In each case the class to be. studied
was divided into two groups. Then
one, group was allowed to see, for in
stance, "A VISIT to Chicago" film.
The other group was given oral in
struction about Chicago. Then each
group was qu1zzed on the subject
which had been considered.
After experimenting with various
classes and various subjects, Mr.. Hol.
lis compiled figures to show that those
students watching the films had learn
ed just as much as those who were
given oral instruction. His conclu-
sion was that the Aim plus the instruc-
tive talk4by the teacher, would prove
much more instructive than the talk
alone.
One fact which developed was that
the youngest pupils could not learn as
well from the motion pictures as from
having something told them. They
could not read the subtitles~ nor could
they interpret the things they saw. s,5
A great range Of subjects has been
taught through, films sent out by the
department, not only for the institu-
tes but for club and school work of
all kinds This includes agriculture,
botany, physiology, geography, engi-
neering, commerce, industry, history,
biography and health, ~
While believer in the efficacy of
visual instruction Mr.. Hollis believes;
that the large claims made for 1t by
some of the enthusiasts do more harm
than good. He attacks this tendency
in an article appearing in the current
issue Of . national motion picture mag.
azine.
He declared that one magazine
printed in large letters, the statement
that the nerve from the eye to the
brain was % times as strong as the
nerve from the ear to the brain.

U. S. Crop Reporter Summarizes
Conditions Throughout
The State

Grand Forks May Comments OF
reporters of the u S. Bureau OF Mar
kets and Crop Estimates, on general
crop and livestock conditions in North
Dakota for the last two weeks Of April
are summarized as follows:
While weather conditiorjs OF the
(past fortnight have been favorable for
all farm work in the state as q whole,
wheat seedinA in the Red River Valley
did not get fully under way until the
last week Of this period. Good pro-
gress was made elsewhere, report
ers placing wheat seeding at better
than half completed for the central
sections and above three4fourths COM
pletion In the western districts. Spring
.plowing for other crops is fairly well
under way though checked in many
localities by the wheat seeding situa-
tion.
The late wheat seeding is generally
regarded as the most important factor
bearing on the acreage to be s0wn this
year and some decrease for this reason
is expected, especially for wheats
other than durum. A further increase
over the high potato acreage Of last
year, reporters consider certain and
indicate in several counties increased
acreages Of barley and oats. Rye
generally is reported to be In excel!
lent shape with but small abandon
ment expected. While North Dakota's
fruit crops are comparatively small,
more than $4,000 trees Of bearing age
are located lin the Red River Valley
These apparently are in good spring
condition with no frost damage thus
FAR reported.
Pastures In all sections are starting
nicely and promise we'll, although
growth has been slow, due to the
continued. cool weather. Livestock
generally has enough feed and the,
poorer stock is, considered to have
passed the critical stage with no
spring losses Of consequence. While
hay supplies in many localities are
unusually low, 1t is expected that
farmers will be able to get by until
the new crop is available. L,

The appearance of a neighborhood

Providing proper school facilities
has been one of the outstanding
accomplishments of the association.
Although the county board of edu-
cation has this work in charge,
pressure by the citizens organiza-
ton has resulted in the construc-
ton in Ballston of two modern
graded schools, both of which are
filled to capacity. Activities in this
direction have not ceased, accord
ing to statements of one of the
officers Of the association.

Before the advent of Washing

last decade. which has marked the
rapid expansion of the National

means of making this influence felt
has been through the Ballston Citi-
