FACULTY in FIRST
MEETING THURSDAY
Character EducatiOT's Is Text
of Meeting Of Local Faculty
Meeting Last Week ),

The faculty of the Redwood Falls
public schools met at the Ramsey
hotel, Thursday evening, December
18th, for their first meeting which
was called for the purpose of profess
sional study. After the dinner at the
hotel the teachers met in the lounge
room. This is the first of series
of seven meetings. The text entitled
Character Education" by Germane
and Germane is forming the basis of
the review by the members of the
faculty. The committee in. charge of
the discussion for the first meeting
were Miss Eaton, Mr.. Clipfell, Mrs.
Kramer, Miss Buckley, with Miss
Aske as chairman and leader of the
discussion.
Character education is receiving
prominence and attention in educa-
tional circles throughout the country
and is one of the newer courses or
study added to the curriculum at the
educational institutions.
Character training has two-fold
aspect: (1) Prevention, that is, help
ing the child learn to make whole
some adjustments to his daily life
situations so that he will eme-,.e out
of every conflict stronger physically,
intellectually, and emotionally; and
(2) Cure, that is, helping the child
overcome certain maladjustments or
bad habits by supplanting these with
good habits. Unfortunately, charact-
er training too often has to spend its
best energies upon the latter aspect
-uprooting the bad habits.
Character education is a process
through which the child learns to
make wholesome social adjustments
to his many perplexing life situa-
tions are all those occasions in daily
life which vex, disturb, and annoy be-
cause there is conflict between
what one impulsively wishes to do
and what one is obligated to do.
Wholesome social adjustments are
those happy and successful ways and
habits of responding which are bene-
fetal both to ones self and to others.
The desirable traits which all pu-
pills are happy in developing are in
dustry, self-reliance, honesty, self
confidence, patience and foresight,
while the bad habits which need up
roofing are such as include failure,
inferiority, selfishness, sullenness,
dishonesty, laziness, Indifference and
poor judgment. A child either devel-
ops into a wholesome individual or
a misfit according to the character
: traits he acquires.

DISTRICT DEBATE
OPENS TONIGHT
Redwood Falls High School
Team Will Meet Springfield;
Jury System Debated

The first district debate for the
Redwood Falls High School debate
team is scheduled for Wednesday
evening, December 18th, in the Senior
High School auditorium at 1880 p. M.
Redwood Falls will uphold the af-
frmative of the question: Resolved,
''The the Present Petit or Trial
Jury System in the United States
Should Be Abolished" Springfield
High School will debate the negative
side of this question.
The four debate teams in this dis
trict are, New Ulm, Sleepy Eye,
Springfield and Redwood Falls. Dis
trict championship will be won by the
school receiving the highest number
of judges votes in the three debates.
The second debate for Redwood Falls
will be held at New Ulm when the
local team will uphold the negative
side of the question. Sleepy Eye
will be Redwood Falls opponent in
the third debate.
Springfield has been the district
winner for the past three or more
years. Two years ago Redwood Falls
was tied with Springfield for the first
two debates, however, losing to
Springfield in the last debate by a
two to one decision. A good debate
is evident since both teams are de-
batting for honors to be hoped for or
to be defended.
The local debate team membership
is: Margaret Tiffany, Aubrey Dirlam
and Freda Laudon.
They have been working on this
question under the direction of Mr..
M. M. Voxland, for four or five weeks
and the debate will be worth while
hearing. The question is of interest

II. NJ. Hitchcock Presents Series
of Articles on Minnesota History
Writes Article for a Minneapolis
Civic Club; H. A. Baldwin
Edits Publication

Mr.. H. M. Hitchcock, a former
Redwood Falls citizen, seventy years
of age and a member of the Mime
sofa Historical Association, has been
secured to write a series of articles
for the st. Anthony Review, official
organ of the St. Anthony Commercial
Club of Minneapolis, of which Mr..
H. A. Baldwin is executive secretary
of the club and editor of the publica-
tion.
The first of the series of the art
icles in which Redwood Falls receives
mention, follows under the caption
"Minnesota's First Big Business"
"The activities of many industries
radiate from Minneapolis and Mime
sofa. Most of us are engaged in do
ing our bit to increase the impor-
tance of the metropolis or our State
as a commercial center.
While we are engrossed in small
and great enterprises and planning
for still greater, we may pause for
few minutes for a few paragraphs
concerning the first big business of
Minnesota.
"The first Minnesotans of which we
have any history were the several
tribes of the Sioux nation, long be-
fore any white families sought for
homes here. Products of this region
gathered by the skill and industry of
these primitive aborigines were dis
tributed to people from other states
and marketed in many distant foreign
countries.
"When Louis Hennepin came to
Minnesota there were large expanses
of forests, water courses, swamps
and prairies, each area teeming with
furbearing animals of it's own kind.
The Indians, as the first conservation
lists, had taken toll of their lives only
for their own food and clothing. Dur
ing the three months of intimate con-
tact of Hennepin with the natives,
there grew desire to obtain the
white mans weapons and tools.
"Soon after the discovery of st.
Anthony Falls, Hennepin chanced to
meet Duluth, who was seeking to ex-
tend his fur trading into this region
and these two held councils with the
Sioux of the Upper Mississippi and
secured trading agreements.
Later, Chief Wabasha along the

Program May Be Lost Unless
County Board o. KS. Project
at January Meeting

The Social Service Program o1
Redwood county, which for ten year.
has been carried out and has beer
one of the big programs of the county
stands to be lost when the Board o1
County Commissioners meet on Jan.
uary 7, 1880, unless the people of the
county get together and back the pro.
ject to the utmost. On page two OF
this issue will be found an editorial
under the heading, "What Are We
Waiting For?" This article refers
to the great need of this program to
the county.
The history of the immense and
worthy project dates back to 1918
when the Child Welfare Board was
organized. Following the war, the
Redwood County Red Cross Chapter
employed a trained social worker,
who served as executive secretary
for the Red Cross and carried on a
Social Service program working with
the Child Welfare Board.
The entire financial burden of the
work was carried by the Red Cross
Chapter of the county until the fall
of 1926, when the Board Of County
Commissioners voted to pay the
salary of the worker, with the Red
Cross continuing to pay the operating
expenses connected with the work.
The Executive then assumed the add
ed responsibility of investigating and
supervising the county poor causes.
The work has been efficiently hand
led by trained workers, so efficiently
in fact, that three of the workers
have been called by the Children's
Bureau of the State Board Of Con-
troll; so efficiently that the standards
maintained were not only recognized
by the State Board of Control, but
by the Federal Children's Bureau at
Washington, d. C. The past ten
years has definitely shown that this
service in the county has been the
means, in many cases, of saving
county funds.
The question of continuing this
social service program will be decid-
ed at the January meeting of the
Board of County Commissioners.
Unless an appropriation is made by
the Board, this work, the work in
Redwood county which has been re-
cognized in both State and National
headquarters, will be lost. It is the
appeal of the Gazette, the Child We'll
fare Board and hundreds of people
of the community, that every resi-
dent of the county to make known to
the county commissioner of the dis
trict in which residence is maintain
ed, the wishes in this matter. The
Board will base their decision on the
wishes of the constituents.
Organizations, WON ems clubs,
churches and others who are inter-
ested in the continuance of the social
program in Redwood county are ad-
vised to write to the county board
stating the wishes of the organiza-
ton or individual. Mail to John
Arends, Lamberton, MINES a,
Chairman of Board. Better than that,
have members of organizations at
tend the meeting of the Board, stat
ing the wishes of the organization.

South Sensing Second Spill
Since Savage Series

Winning a district game in which
Lamberton high was defeated 20 to
Friday night in the first home game
of the season, and losing on the Will
mar floor last night Tuesday, by
20 to 10 count was the result of the
weeks play for Stockton's basketball
squad. The Willmar defeat marks
the second loss in two years of play
for the locals.
The Willmar team showed promise
of again being threat in the region.
1t showed exceptional speed and led
the locals at the half time period by
a II to Z. In the second half the
locals outscored the Willmar quint
by IL to 9, leading by two points
with three minutes to play. In these
three minutes Willmar took advant-
age of every break and came through
with win via the free throw route.
Tom Finn led the scoring for Red
wood Falls by making three field
goals. Laidlaw counted five points by
making a field goal and three free
tosses. johnson and Bravinder each
scored two field goals.
LambertOn Game
Lamberton was helpless before the
defense offered by Coach Stockton's
team and was able to score but three
field goals in Friday nights game.
With Albright taking the ball off the
board and Tom Finn advancing it,
Redwood Falls quickly broke into an
offense that netted IL markers from
the field, Bravinder leading all others
with five.
The game opened with each team
playing cautiously in an attempt to
feel out the opponent. In the absence
of Arnett, who was out because of
scholastic difficulties, Gerald AL
bright was shifted to the back guard
position while Gil Johnson and Don
Albright were in the forward posi-

figures compiled on June 80, 1929,
showed that there were approximate
ly one million World war veterans
who had failed to apply for their Ad-
justed Compensation Certificates with
over 1900 of this number from Min
nesota. On that date applications
had been approved for 3,650,093 cas-

in the extension of time set in the
original act to that of January l.,

The Legion has attempted through
its members and public to inform all
veterans of benefits granted by the
act. The average Adjusted Compen-

overseas, is similar in many aspects
