HARDING ASKS
NATION GUARD
AGAINST BL0CS


Augusta, Ca, April 7.-Domestic
affairs of the nation are now the
greatest concern and the nation to-
day should guard against the devel
opment of clashes and the organiZa
tion of blocs, according to Presi-
dent Harding.
The chief executive expressed the
view at Il dinner given in his honor
by Augusta citizens last night. 1t
was his first speech since he began
his vacation trip into the south.
Preparations for leaving here
were made and tonight the presi-
dental party will be given a jour
ney to Washington where the Pres
idcnt will take up his official duties
His speech took the form of an
appeal to the people of the south.
lie deplored, he said, the formation
of any cliques in the Republic.
In the course of his remarks,
which included variety of topics,
he asserted that he did not believe
there was "a vestige of the section
alism of the Civil War left in the
United States"
Touching upon the international
affairs Of the union he said that the
countrys internal affairs were in
better shape than ever before and
predicted that in times to come
those people who think America is
not doing justice toward European
nations will find that Americas AT
ter all is the "most just nation III
the world"

BOARD PLANS
INQUIRY INTO
STATE NORMAL
Will Make Personal Visit 10
Mayvil!e Normal Where
Resignation Is Asked
HOLDS IT'S DECISION
DIR. J. O. Evjen in Fargo
Meeting Asked to Quit
Presidency of School

Fargo, April 7.-Further inquiry
into the administration Of the May
Vile Normal school, taking the form
Of personal investigation on the
ground by members of the state
boar of admin st ration, was decided
upon at the close Of the hearing given
DR.. j. O. Evjen, president of the
school. before the board yesterday.
After the personal inspection %
the school the board is expected to
render Il decision as TO whether or
not the nature of the defense of the
official is such as to warrant Il
change of attitude on the part Of
the board which some time ago ask
ed the official to resign.
The main contention Of the board
is that Dr. Evjen is untitled by rea-
son Of limited educational qualifica-
tions and lack Of administrative abil
ity to- conduct the school according
to the desires Of the board.
Boards View.
Board members told DR.. Evjen that
it feels he has failed to secure har-
mony among the members of his fac
ulty, in spite of the fact that he had
constantly been trimming out men,
bers in order to secure loyalty to mis-
administration. Many members Of
the faculty, the board said, had made
strenuous complaints against the
method of dismissal, professors hav-
ing been let out at time when it was
difficult to secure position for the
next year.
The board declared that DR.. Evjen's
act in requesting members Of the
faculty to express in writing their
opinion of the professional fitness
of an associate 'is a convincing in
dication of your lack of professional
dignity and understanding"
The board also said DR.. Evjen had
violated orders Of the Board of Ad-
ministration. particularly in using
public funds to establish rad: o
broadcasting station at the public
expense contrary to orders of the
board.
Refer to Former Probe.
The board further declared to DR..
| Evjen:
"A perusal of the testimony taken
at former Investigations by the board
of administration at the suggestion
of the American Legion. has left in
the minds of the board reasonable
doubt as to whether or not you pos
sess that high spirit of Americanism
essential in the personality of one
whose business it is to direct the
training of young men and women
who are to mold public opinion Of
this nation. Your unfavOrable COM
PARSONS between America and Ger
many, even by implication, raises the
question in the minds of the mem
hers Of the board as to the advisable
ity of continuing you in your pres
ent position, especially since the in
culcation Of patriotism is the prime
duty of every teacher in every public
school in the land"

in the Northwest next year already
are under way.
The plea of the Northwest Region
ri Advisory Board, composed of
representatives from Montana, North

that big users of coal, such as rail-
roads, public utilities, institutions
and distributors, place orders for
next year as early as possible so that
the greatest proportion of eastern
coal purchased may be delivered or
moved from the head of the lakes by
August l.
i. A. b. Cox, secretary to Governor
Ncstos, made public resolutions
adopted by the fuel distribution COM
mittce, which had been organized to
aid in the solution of the coal diff
ficulties of the past winter.

ton of an early supply at the lake
docks, and to distribute as much as
possible over the Northwestern states
during the summer months.

Although he lived 10 days after he

after he died Mrs Blandino refused
