Bismarck assumed gala attire to-
day in honor of the teachers pen
nants being flung across all of the
principal downtown streets of the
city. There was some discussion as
to whether or not the program would
be altered to permit all of the Wis
iting teachers to attend the state
high school championship football
game between Fargo and Minot on
the local field at 3 p. IN. Friday. The
lecture of Count Tolstoy on Thurs
day night and the appearance of Ric-
cardo Martin, Metropolitan Opera
Company tenor, on Friday night
were among the high lights of the
convention program
Bismarck citizens opened their
homes to the visitors, it being ex-
pocted that they would overflow the
hotels, and Mandan, across the Mis-
souri, issued an invitation to the
teachers to visit that city, now
brought nearer to Bismarck by the
Missouri river bridge and motor
transportation.

their hotels and to the information
bureau at the Association Of Com
merce, and Boy Scouts and other
boys aided in carrying grips to vari-
Gus places.
