New Times and New Problems in
Education" was the subject of Pro-
fessor O'Shea's address and he
stressed the need for curbing the
present tendency Of over-developed
emotionalism and nder-developed
intellect. lie cited examples of boys
and girls in the teen age, who are
more sophisticated than were tneir
grandparents at the time of their
death.
Keep Them Growing
1T is highly desirable to keep the
boy and girl growing as long as
possible" he declared. "If they ri.
pen too early they cannot reach the
highest point in any aspect of their
nature.
1t is disastrous for boy or girl
to go the pace so fast in the early
years that they become sophisticated
orNblase in the middle teens. There
is a tendency in that direction in
American life. Young people indulge
so generally in exciting pastimes
that they lose their interest in sim
pie and wholesome activities, and es-
pecially in mental work. Amorous
motion pictures, extreme dancing.
the use Of automobiles and the like
are robbing our young people too
early of their simplicity, docility and
enthusiasm in intellectual tasks"

Twelve Men Good and True
(The jamestown SUM


An Associated Press dispatch from Fargo yester'
day afternoon says that about IL representative
business and professional men of Fargo" wired
President Coolidge that the overwhelming senti-
ment Of North Dakota favors the World Court"
For many years about twelve" Fargo men have
taken unto themselves to answer for the about six
hundred forty thousand" residents of North Dakota,

1t is barely possible that gall brass" might
express it, but prefer the good old army wore
beginning with "g" and ending in "uts"-of the
twelve Fargo men who thus appoint themselves to
answer for such a mighty commonwealth as North
Dakota.
1t has not always been the same "alout twelve
men. Sometimes, suspicion that it has been
"about four or five or even less, but we do know
that it has been, partially at least, because of the
attitude of these same men that the words Fargo
and North Dakota" are synonyms that have caused
much OF the political unrest in the state during the
last eight ten years. 1t is full time that the
"about twelve men Of Fargo learn That North Da
kota is not bounded the west by the city limits
Of Fargo or even the packing plant. At least their
sons and daughters in school should be laugh;
that it is over three hundred miles from Fargo to
the Montana line and that there are more than fifty
thousand times twelve people living within the Dor
ders Of our great state.

Theirs Is the Big Job
Fargo Forum)

North Dakota county commissioners meeting in
their annual convention in Fargo, wisely elected to
devote the greater part OF their discussions to the
good roads problem. There is no more important
work before the State at this time. and as the
bodybuilding and maintenance programs must be
mapped out by the boards OF the several counties
1t is well that the Commissioners Association take
1t up at this time.
There is doubt in anyone's mind that North
Dakota must continue a comprehensive program OF
road building II the States development is to keep
pace with the development of business and indus
try The program must take into consideration
the necessity for permanent hard-surfaced roads in
certain sections yof the Commonwealth, and it must
look to the needs Of the smaller, but strategic trad
ing centers in each county
There is nothing that builds State quicker than
fine system of trunk highways and connecting
within the state much expeditions and favor
able, and ties the business and industrial activities
OF the Commonwealth with the great centers of dis
tribution In short. it looks after the commercial
needs of the State in the effective and thorough
manner, and that Is the basis Of the success OF
business and agriculture.
The county commissioners OF North Dakota
recognize this as well as anyone. They probably
realize it more than the people as whole, for they
have been brought into closer contact with the
question. They have shown a commendable dispo
sition to meet the needs so far as possible They
have looked into the future, too, and within the
past three or four years have been promugat;ng
their road-oonstrnctive programs upon that far
seeing basis. OF course. they are confronted with
difficulties in financing the work That is ques-
ton that goes hand in hand with the need for high
ways, and one that must be given just as much at
tention. That is why the commissioners. in their
convention discuss an increase in the gasoline tax
70 obtain part Of the funds for road building. The
body already has gone on record Ii favor OF that
scheme, and It Is not unlikely that they will do SO
again. sf
But whatever the problem Of finances. Il must Ia
solved satisfactorily. for the need OF good roads

The Gingerbread Man saw it with

No one seemed surprised to see the
Gingerbread Man playing engineer.

that was the very best use ginger
