BANK IS
ROBBED

Firing one blank shot to intimidate
his victims, lone bandit held up the
Security National bank at Taylor at
1880 p. m. today. and made away with
between 81 500 and 81 800 in currency
and silver.
The robber entered the bank pre-
tending he was going to cash a check.
After placing 1t before H. F. Leutz,
cashier. he drew revolver and COM
manded Leutz and M. A. Stevenson.
bookkeeper, to lie on the floor.
Rushing to the tellers cage, the
robber scooped up all currnecy and
silver In sight and then commanded
Leutz to bring out all that was held
in the vault. Leutz brought out $500
In currency and a small amount Of
silver. which the robber took.
Persons on TaylOr's front steet saw
new Chrysler roadster drive north
out of town shortly after the holdup,
and It carried two persons. Officers
here expressed the belief that two
men were In on the job
The bandit appeared to be exper-
fenced in the business, Leutz said this
afternoon over long distance tele-
phone to The Tribune. About five
minutes were taken In the holdup. He
had about two days growth of beard,
wore dark gray cap and khaki COW
erals, Leutz said. The car which
sped out Of the city bore a Califor-
MIA license.
Officers who examined the bank in
terror after the affair r.n,,lf1 find Y,o
trace of the bullet which had been
fired. They believe the shot was q
blank.
It was said officers would check
the currency which was TAKEN. Leutz
said many Of the bills were Of IS and
SO denomination and had recently
been issued by the First National
bank Of Dickinson.
Sheriff's officers have notified all
points to the north Of Taylor to be on
the lookout for the car and the two
men.

the senate agriculture committee to-
day that the Farmers National Grain
Marketing corporation probably
would not be prepared to function as
far as effecting the price OF wheat

Senator Wheeler. Democrat. Mon

but controlled by lot OF people who
arc exploiting the farmer just like
the grain gamblers are"
The Nebraskan replied the board
would see that no cooperatives Of that
type were admitted into the grain
marketing corporation.
He explained the board intended to
influence farmers to reduce their
acreage.
Can Control Production
And you think the farmer can
control production by getting him to
put less acreage In wheat" Wheeler
asked.
He can influence IT, McKelvie re-
piled.
Then the board thinks the prin-
cipal object In passing the farm bill
was to urge farmers to put In less
acreage" Wheeler asked.

BERTHA palmer TO
PROPOSE Change IN
EDUCATION system
Suggests Junior Colleges and
Elimination OF Eour.Yoar
Courses Of Study

Changes in the organization Of
North Dakota'S system Of secondary
education may result from q confer
ence to be held here Tuesday between
Dr. w. E. Pike Of the University Of
Minnesota and the state board Of ad-
miniStration.
The board has asked DR.. Pike .
advise it on q proposal by Miss Bertha
Palmer. state superintendent Of pub
lie instruction and ex-officio mem.
ber of the board. to standardize the
courses offered at the Dickinson and
Glendale normal schools and the
teachers college at Mayville. Valley
City and Minot.
II the board and DR.. Pike agree IN
4 tentative program, the heads Of the
various institutions will be invited
here for conference with the board
and DR.. Pike at which details OF the
changes to be made will be consider
ed. DR.. Pike is a professor In the
department Of education at the Uni-
verSity Of Minnesota where he Is q
specialist in teacher -training prob
lens.
Changes Are Necessary
Need for the change is apparent,
Miss Palmer said. II students attend
Ing North Dakota institutions are to
continue to have the advantages
which come from attending schools
Of recognized standing. Unless the
change Is made, she said. all Of them
will be barred from membership in
the North Central Association Of
Colleges and Secondary Schools after
1891. Changes in the conference re-
Quirements. which would bar North
Dakota institutions on their present
basis, will become effective 1T that
time. she said.
One result Of the changes. II any
are made. would be to eliminate four.
year courses at the institutions now
giving degrees. The conference rules
require that . certain percentage oe
the entire student body be members
Of the senior class. Persons taking
four-year courses ct state teachers
colleges are relatively few. A6iss
Palmer said. and they will Be unable
to comply with this requirement and
With some others.
Make Jumior Colleges
Her own idea Is to eliminate the
four.year courses and to designate
state teachers colleges and normal
schools g Junior colleges. The courses
to be given would still be designed
70 prepare students for the teaching
profession but enough additional
work would be given IN elective
