The Floating University

The S. s. Ryndam, the first Floating university"
in the world has returned to the United States with
500 students who have given several months to the
most profitable college year Of their lives The
value to these young and of travel
under the almost ideal conditions which obtained on
this pioneer cruise, is ncalcuablc. The broadening
further exposition.
The students who took this cruise visited AZ ports
in 80 countries and travelled over $4,000 miles.
During that time they rubbed elbows with all races
all classes and all faiths They have come to- COM
prehend the vastness of the earth and the brother
hood of man, not, necessarily in religious sense
but in the that after all the barriers of race
color religion and politics cannot destroy the basic
similarity of all men.
1t is safe to say that when these 500 college stu
dents sailed away from the United States on Sept
10 last, they were quite narrow mentally. Brought
up in the average American home, with all the
comforts and advantages, imbued with the Amer
lean spirit Of big achievements, they undoubtedly
started out with the idea that they we're going on
vast holiday among inferior peoples.
They have returned however, cosmopoltans
They have had the priceless privilege of comparison
They have learned that while we may excel in
knowledge and achievement where other nations
and other races have definite superiority over US
The floating university idea, although a new
one, is very valuable one. More Of them should
be inauguratcd and we should like to see the time
when every college course would have one year
conducted on such cruise

No Acreage Decrease

Crop experts do not anticipate acreage de-
crease because of the wet and backward season.
They predict less acreage to wheat, but de-
clare the difference will be made up in the increase
of corn and other crops.
The seed situation seems to have been solved in
North Dakota by the prompt action Of the bankers
and county officials In fact few springs have been
more suspicious for crop the Missouri Slope.
Pastures developing rapidly and a great per-
centage of spring wheat was sown before the re-
cent heavy rainfall With anything like average
rainfall from now this territory should produce
paying crops at least. The feed problem is solved
now, which means much to the stock and dairy in
terests. Unfortunately many herds shippel
out of this section, but the task Of restocking the
farms and ranges is now well under way.
There is every indication that price conditions for
crops of the northwest will be favorable this year.
There is every reason for optimism the spring
season advances

Many newspapers of this state have seen fit t.
comment upon the gradual elimination of bitter po
litcal strife in this state. The Tribune has re
peatedy commented on this most fortunate tur'
Of events. The same impression is conveyed in
recent editorial of the jamestown Sun, which com
mcnts as follows:
Zone of the encouraging signs in the devel-
opment Of North Dakota is the gradual disap-
pearance of the bitter political strife which
marked practically every meeting of whatever
nature in the state four or five years ago. Not
only is the bitter feeling gone, but political diff
ferences entirely forgotten in the efforts of
all factions to build up the state agriculturay
and industrially"
This feeling has been demonstrated at many
meetings held to promote the welfare of North Da
kota. There is of good feeling among the
citizens of this state and absence of any organ
lied attempt to foster class antagonisms
Considerable credit is due to Governor Sorle's
attitude public issues. He has been able to rise
above factiCnalism, and the sole aim of his admin
stratcn has been to promote the best interests Of
North Dakota.
May the spirit Of friendly cooperation which the
jamestown Sun commends continue to exert more
potent influence upon the affairs Of state.

Group Meetings Beneficial

Helpful suggestions to the banking fraternity of
the state characterize the group meetings being
held Throughout the state this week. Community
service is being stressed through support of various
enterprises toward that end. Many groups also
voted to back more vigorously the Greater North
Dakota association, and have pledged to support the
Great Lakes Waterway.
These periodic meetings of great assistance,
to the bankers of the state. An attempt is being
made to standardize banking practices and to point
the way to methods by which banks provide
greater service to- their respective communities.
These meetings not devoted wholly to talking
shop Community needs, state and national prob
lens lift them above the monotony Of routine con-
ferences.
Bismarck will be host to a group Ct Missouri
Slope bankers on May &C. Such meetings have bee.,
held for years and have proved most beneficial.

A Fine Response

Through the agency of the press and radio more
than $4,000 has been received for the flood suf-
ferers of the Mississippi valley. This is fine
response for Bismarck and adjoining territory. The
Burlegh county chapter Of the Red Cross has per-
formed excellent service agency through
which these contributions could be handled
There is still great need for funds, and the Amer
can Red Cross society has notified all chapters tn
continue their efforts in behalf of flood relief Thu
cnormity Of this catastrophe is appalling. Neccs
sity for relief grows from day to day. 1t will be
many weeks before homeless thousands can return
to their vacations. 1t is the obligation of those
fortunately situated to that the hungry
fed, and succor brought to the sick and dis
tressed.
The people of this section have responded gen

governor Sorlic in his speech defeating this
structure put it very we'll when he said:
"Such community building is a wonderful
means of solidfying community spirit and coopera-

Clean recreation is a great boon to places the
size Of New Salem. Many cities have these civic
centers where the farmers and the city dwellerS

good fellowship and better understanding of eco

rather, the way the contraction
