HIGHER STANDARDS
IN TEACHING URGED
A. z. Thompson Broadcasts on
School Problems; Mould

Economy and higher standards In
administration Of North Dakota's
school system was advocated by
Arthur e. Thompson, Washburn, can
didate for state superintendent OF
public instruction, in q radio address
here tonight. Thompson has the en-
dorsement Of the N~onpartisan League.
TN late years considerable has
been said and done with reference to
raising qualifications of teachers in
our schools" he said. This has been
especially evident with reference to
rural teachers. The whole course Of
action has been helpful and pro-
gressive. We should not stop there,
but go on up the line and raise quail
ifications' accordingly. Professional
training and experience in places Of
prestige act as a tonic and q stinu-
lating force throughout any system.
1.-THE administration Of any unit Of
government should be conducted with
least possible expense. The detectives
and requirements set up should be
planned so that a dollars worth OF
tax revenue would give the greatest
possible returns.
Rural education In North Dakota
refers to thousands of one-room
schools. To provide these schools
with teachers where the law requires
q minimum of three months training
above high school and at the same
time promotes efficiency means just
| one thing. Teachers In one.roon
schools should be given special train.

During the ours Of such train

masnate, had objected as controver-
sial at this time.
Ambassador Sackett, after previous
ly having consented to Mir. insults
request for q revision of parts Of the
speech, announced last night that the
address would be given in full and
without change. He also authorized
It's publication in full In advance of
delivery.
The passage in the speech to which
Mr.. insult was understood particular
ly to have taken exception read: Il
know Of no other manufacturing in
dustry where the sale price Of the
rrvduct to the great mass of consum-
ers is fifteen times the actual cost Of
production Of the article sold.
Mr.. Sackett's speech was written
several days ago and copies sent to
the press to be held tor release. With
arrival of the delegate to the world
power conference Mr.. Sackett read 1t
to several Of his friends. among them
Oscar c. Merrill, chairman of the
American delegation.
Mr.. insult suggested perhaps the
speech seemed a bit controversial. Mr..
Sackett agreed but considerable talk
developed among delegates and the
ambassador rescinded his previous
action and let it be known he would
deliver the speech as originally
planned.

This type Of service will be more and

When all is said and done the OBJ
ject Of welfare Of a school system is
the individual child. The develop
ment Of system is necessary but det-
rimental when 1t develops at the
expense Of the child. The school is
for the child, not the child for the

Learning in school should be ap-
plicable in life for culture and voca-
ton. Cramming at examination time
and forgetting a few weeks later is
futile. It is far better to master a

Of general knowledge on many SUBJ

re~citations produce ragged pupils.
School should develop accuracy and

Sand Springs, Okla.,-(NEA)-
Nature nut q terrible handicap on
little Joan Whisnant. But it also
gave Joan Q sturdy, determined soul.
The result is that Joan, overcoming
long. odds, has found a way to an &C
tive, almost normal existence in spite
of an affliction that might have
seemed too great to be borne.
Joan, who is just 6 years old, was
born without hands or arms. APP
parently she was doomed from the
cradle to be a helpless cripple. But
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Whis-
nant, were determined that she
should escape that fate as far as was
humanity possible, and they have
taught her to do with her feet what
other children do with their hands.
As q result
Joan can write legibly, a eat
from her own plate with her own
knife and fork, can drink from her
own cup or glass, can turn the pages
of her own books, can cut out paper
dolls, play with her toys, wash
dishes, comb her hair and embroider
very nicely with q needle and thread.
Her first demonstration Of dexter
ity with her toes came when as a
small baby she kicked and played
with q rubber ball, hung over her
cradle by q string. At the age of 4
she was making marks with q pencil
held between her toes. Now she is
going to school, and aside from the
fact that she has a special desk she
is treated there as a normal child.
At home she insists on helping her
mother with the homework. Her
parents have declined all offers to
have the girl 60 into vaudeville, and
insist she never will.
"Joan has shown herself to be a
normal child and not a curiosity
says her mother. 1--WE intend to edu-
cate and treat her as SUCH"
