Honoring Prairie Pioneer Mothers
(Thc Minneapolis Tribu1

CThc Minneapolis Trtbune)
The North Dakota Federation Of WomenS Clubs Is
beginning an interesting survey. It will gather and CO.
ordinate q part Of the history Of the state the lie
stories Of its pioneer mothers. They are rich in inspira-
tional value for Ee generation Of this day.
The Tribune recalls one such story, quite typical OF
scores Of others which will be developed by the survey,
no doubt. It is the story Of Mrs. John Q. Burbank Of
Center township. Richland county. Here are some high
lights in It:
In days when the present homestead of Mrs. Burbank
I'D he brothers was a small cabin and a prairie land
mark, when billiards swept q winter bound land, She
never retired that she did not display in the claim shack
ltncow a lighted candle, q friendly beacon to any way
farer OF the storm who CHANGED to be abroad.
=. days when Breckenridge, MINI, was the western
most terminal Of the st. Paul. Minneapolis & Manitoba
railroad. now the Great Northern railway, she was the
organist and led the singing In the first organized church
service held in that part Of the Red River valley country.
The service was held In q railroad baggage car to which
was transported an old-fashioned melodeon. The brake
man brought the hymn books from st. Paul.
"A those times Fort Abercrombie was the social center
for q wide countryside. There were ~quartered several
companies of the regiment that finally followed Custer
to his last stand at the Battle Of the Little Bighorn.
There the night before the soldiers took the trail to join
in that expedition, prairie folk gathered at = dancing

The discoveries of science are sometimes rather puz-
Sling. That is, any given discovery is apt to have posi-
bilities both for good and for evil. Science furnishes
mankind with a great many new tools, but most OF them
ore two-edged.
For instance: A scientist at the General Electric
laboratories recently announced the construction OF a
new kind of vacuum tubes which will broadcast short
length waves that have the power of raising the bodily
temperature OF any persons in their path.
It is hoped that this may eventually be highly import
INT In the field of medicine. A natural fever is supposed
to be an attempt on the part of the body to kill Oft bac-
seria that attack it. These new short length waves, pro-
iucing an artificial fever, may be Of tremendous value
N tie war on disease.
So far, then, the new discovery looks very pretty. But
there is another SIDE to it. 1t would be very easy to kill a
person with these powerful radio waves. If they can
uroduce a beneficent fever that will restore a sick man
% health, they can also cause death.
When you stop to think about it, that is the way it is
With many Of the fascinating inventions that this age
njoys.
Chlorine gas has saved thousands of lives as a dis
FSrmu& of the water supplies Of big cities. But it has
alton, other thousands of lives on the battlefield-taken
c 49, in a peculiarly horrible and %repellent way.
f;-sie automobile has changed the face of American
civilization, broken down old barriers OF time and space
nd given the nation q new unity; but you might also
emember that it kills some 10000 of us every year.
The science Of higher mathematics, properly applied,
as made possible the accomplishment of tremendous
forks for the betterment Of all mankind; but it also
,.aade it possible for German artilcrymen, during the
asst war, to drop shells in Paris, go miles away, and kill
Somen and children whom they could not even see.
The whole Development of machinery, which has made
nc world of 1880 so different from the world of 1880, has
lhade possible a fuller and happier life for millions upon
t1illicns of people; yet it has geared up the pace of liv-

= You could continue to cite instances like that almost
indefinitely. The point seems to be that we are develop
pc our inventions just a triile faster than we are de-
~sseloping our brains. We don't yet know how to use our
tsew discoveries without hurting ourselves with them.

Our Unsung Heroes

A faithful reader of the daily newspaper may be par
doned if he develops a certain amount of cynicism re-
garding the human race.
The daily account of human beings crimes, follies and
weaknesses that the newspaper provides is surely enough
to make anyone wonder If mankind isn't, after all, a good
deal farther down in the scale than we like to suppose.
But there arc other things in the newspapers to coun-
teract all of this. They aren't as prominently displayed.
chiefly because they aren't as unusual and hence aren't
as startling and interest," provoking: but they're there.
and they give you quite a different picture.
From Mansfield, O, comes a story telling how a Penn
sylvania railroad engineer sacrificed his own life to save
the lives of his passengers when his engine jumped the
tracks, staying in the cab, when he might have escaped
by jumping. in order to set the arbrakes and keep tho
whole train from being wrecked.
From the east comes a story telling how a negro clerk
in a railway mail car, injured in a wreck, refused TO go
to a hospital but stuck by the mail pouches that had
been intrusted to his care and saw to 1t that they were
safely disposed of.
From Chicago comes a story telling how a girl arrest
ed there for vagrancy found kind hearted officials in the
police court and was enabled to complete her journey to
her mother in Indiana when they took up a collection to
furnish her with food, clothing and q railroad ticket.
None OF these stories took up much space. None OF
them got very big headlines. If you SKINNED through
your paper hurriedly you may have missed them al
together.
But they're important stories, just the same.
They stand out, behind the ugly stories about gangsters.
divorces, bootleggers, murders and crooked politicians.
like beacon lights.
If the crime stories tell us that the race has unsu-
spectcd depths in its make-ups. these stories make it
plain that human beings can also rise to noble heights Of
devotion, courage and unselfishness.
It's the old, old story all over again. There's q great
deal of wickedness in the wocld-and a great deal Of
good to balance it.
And it's worth while to remember that every kind,
brave or unselfish act, no matter how small or insignifi-
cant, adds just so much more weight in the right side
of the scales.

Heavy Registration
For Spring Term of
the Workers School

Heavy registration for the spring
term at the Workers School which
began Monday shows keen desire
on the part of many workers to
strengthen their ideology.
The courses offered this term in
clude several new ones. In the Eng
lish department a class for shop
paper editors has been formed, also
an advanced class in speech i'm
provement. Factory nuclei should
take advantage of the class for
shop-paper editors.
Among the courses offered under
the scope of Marxism-Leninism, the
Program of the c. t." conducted
by S. A. Darcy, is made available
to anyone now. The class in
"Anarchism, Socialism, and Com
munism," given by Comrade M. j.
Olgin on Wednesdays at 7 p. M,
invites enrolment, covering as it
does anarchism from Kropotkin to
the present, the Second Interna-
tional, and winds up with the Pro-
gram of the Communist Interna-
tional.
Workers interested can start this
class right now. Fee for it is set at
SO by special arrangement. Write
for catalogue. Spring term starts
Feb. 8. Workers are urged to regis
