Short Course at Grand
Rapids Farm School

The North Central School of Agri-
culture at Grand Rapids will hold
it's first Junior Short Course the week
of April 18th to the 10th, at the time
the public schools have their spring
vacation, so as to enable public school
students to attend the short course
without interfering with their public
school work.
The aim of the short course is to
give the boys and girls of northern
Minnesota enrolled in club work an
opportunity to receive week of in
tensive training under experts in live
stock, crops, and home economics, at
the beginning of the years club work.
The course of study will include the
following projects: dairy calf, sheep,
pig, poultry, potatoes, garden, alfalfa,
bread baking, cake baking, canning
and garment making, and possibly
one or two others.
The school building with its class
rooms, laboratory, and live stock pa
vilion, together with the large station
herds and flocks, offer excellent ia
cilities for demonstration and in
struction. At the time of the short
course the dormitory and dining hall
will be at the exclusive service of
those enrolled, as the winter term
of the regular school of agriculture
closes the week previous, on April 8.
Supplementing the regular courses
of instruction in the various club pro-
jects, there will be evening programs
including motion pictures, music,
plays, and talks. Athletic contests
and tours to points of special interest
are also being arranged for. Among
the points of interest to be visited is
the Junior college at Coleraine, its
splendid green house, one of the open
pit mines, the paper mill and veneer
plant at Grand Rapids, and possibly
also the glass rooted gardens at Camp
Folly.
A charge of $500 will cover the
entire weeks course including board
and room. Several communities and
school districts, we are informed, are
arranging to take care of the expen-
ses of the boys and girls from their
district attending the short course.
Any boy or girl desiring to attend
should write to Supt Otto /. Bergh,
of the North Central School and Sta
ton, Grand Rapids, in order to make
dormitory reservations and in order
to know what articles to bring.

SCHOOL TERM ENDS
WITH ENTERTAINMENT

The Young Peoples school which
completed ten weeks session Friday,
finished up the winters term with a
delightful program at the D. B. S.
hall Monday evening. In spite of the
bad roads large crowd turned out
to partake in the festivities.
The program opened with violin
and piano selections by Erling Mel
sen and Margaret Schroeder Songs
were sung by the entire assemblage
and there were songs by the young
peoples mixed chorus under the di-
rection of Mrs. F. Clarey Nielsen with
Mrs. o. H. Dyreborg at the piano.
Rev. Dyreborg spoke of the work that
the young people had taken up dur
ing the winter and thanked the in
structors as we'll as others who had
helped. He. stressed the point that
it was not so much the higher learn
ing that they were after but to get a
better understanding of life, to be
able to see its beauties and more
fully appreciate it and to get vision.
A little playlet that amused the
audience very much was presented by
Theodor Jensen, Margaret Schroeder,
and Henry Simonsgaard. A test was
on between the man and his wife
to see who could keep mum the long
est. Many amusing scenes interviewed
but finally quite by accident the good
wife spoke first.
Short readings were given by Mar
garet Nedegaard, Anna Rasmussen
Hans Arnbal, Peter Thomson, and
Walter Petersen, which were all we'll
received and the young folks showed
talent in that line. Agnete Simons-
gard pleased the audience with a
song in which she appeared as a milk
ing girl, the words of which were
to the effect that it was the milking
girl who helped to keep up the Askov
spirit and develop the community.
A song written especially for the
occasion by local party was then
sung by the audience. 1t was writ
ten to the tune of a lively melody
and the words fitted we'll.
Next was good presentation OF
folk dancing by six of the young
couples which took well, the applause
calling them out for a second time
The program concluded with two
more violin and piano numbers by
Erling Nielsen and Margaret Schroe-
rer, Erling producing a good tone
on the violin and the young couple
were well received.
A display of wood work which the
boys had made under the direction
of E. A. E. Laage and fancy work by
the girls under the direction of Mrs
Dyreborg, was then viewed by the
audience and brought forth much de-
served praise. Mrs. c. M Nelson and
Mrs. F. Clarey Nielsen had also been
instructors in the school.
Lunch was next enjoyed and the
evenings festivities ended with the
playing of ring games in which also
number of the older folks took part
The evening as whole was a good

the enactment of similar law in

AS we predicted some time ago, senti-

kind of guaranty plan, and if any
changes at all are made in the pres

the form of more stringent control on
