TON, MAN is PINNED
UNDERNEATH

Fred Ziegler, about 35, a farm
er who lives about IL miles north
of Poplar was killed in a car ac-
cident six miles north of Brock
ton Tuesday afternoon. There
we're no witnesses to the acct
dent, but Arthur Ryder, coming
along the road about half an hour
after Ziegler was last seen drfv-
ing his car, found the overturned
Ford roadster at the bottom of
of a shallow coulee and found the
body of a man pinned underneath
He pulled the body from under
meath the car, ascertained that
the man was dead and then left
the scene to report the accident
to the authorities. Coroner Jo-
seph Montgomery at once went
to the scene of the accident,
viewed the body and investigated
the affair. He talked with a num-
Der of people who had seen Zieg-
Ter driving along the road about

discovered the accident. No in
quest was deemed necessary.
It seems that the car had struck
the side guard of a small bridge
across the coulee and had gone
over the embankment into the
coulee. No injuries were to be
observed Oh tn dead mans body
and it is believed that he either
died from the shock or ~suffoca-
ton.
Ziegler was born in Germany.
He lived with his brother in the
Anderson community. 1t is said
that his mother and two sisters
also survive, living at Wyota,

$4,000 CLACK CO.
OIL FIRE, HAVRE
REFINERY, GASOLINE TANKS
AND ELEVATOR TOTALLY
DESTROYED

Havre, May 27.-A loss estimat-
ed at $4,000 was caused here
when the H. Earl Clack company
refinery and the H. Earl C1ack
company elevator we're destroyed
by fire. 1t was first discovered
in the refinery and an alarm was
turned in shortly before 10 o'clock.
Firemen were unable to do any
thing with the refinery blaze be-
cause of oil and gas stored in
barrels and large tanks. Streams
of water were played or the fire
in an effort to quench the flames
and their main fight was to keep
Continental Oil company property
and the Imperial elevator from
being destroyed.
Cause of the fire is yet unde-
termined, although police think it
was started by boys who attempt
ed to steal gas from the refinery.
Nothing is left of the refinery
except a few tanks, and the ele-
vator was completely destroyed.
with only the shell of the build
ing now standing. The warehouse
ON the property was saved, al
though the building raj badly
searched on the east. Plans ITO
rebuild are already going ahead,
with a modern refinery and a
modern elevator to be erected
here by the company. Construc-
ton will start as soon as pos
sible.
This is the second large fire
for the H. Earl Clack company.
In 1925 the office building on the
corner Of Fourth avenue and Sec
ond street was destroyed. The
Clack buildings were partially Gov
cred by insurance.

they marched up the hill and in
the evening marched right down

The real golfers among the wolf

well. But how could they hope to
win? A bunch of class B and c

Neighboring Motorists
Waiting For June First

A car from Saskatchewan drove
down from Scobey with a passen-
ger and sailed into town with a
1929 license plate. Deputy Sheriff
Council gathered the outfit in
and hailed the driver into Judge
Gordon's court. The Canadian set
up the defense that his govern
ment allowed him until June 1st
to get 1880 plates. Apparently he
was waiting for that date to ar
rive and save the interest on his
money. The court believed him
and let him run. Since, and from
another source, it is learned that
the province to the north Is
strict on license matters and al
lows no six-months immunity.

Judge Paul presided.
Criminal Cases
Tom Dorr, Jr. pleaded not gull
ty to the charge of burglary in
connection with the robbery of the
Cogswell store on Feb. 10, 1880.
A strong fight was put up by
DORIS attorney, Frank Catlin, to
have DORIS bail reduced from
the s2500 which had been orig
inally set, but Judge Paul refused
to allow the bail to be reduced.
Harry Altman, charged with re-
ceiving stolen property in connec-
ton with the same burglary was
up for arraignment. Attorney Cat

Miss Elizabeth Ireland, state
superintendent OF public instruc
ton, accepted an invitation t.
give the commencement address
to the class OF 1880, Wolf Point
| high school. In an address thai
filled an hour she held the close
attention and rapt interest OF
the large audience. Following he1
opening remarks Miss Ireland
spoke briefly to the younger chill
dren picturing the field OF learn
ing as a gold mine in which they
would win success in proportion
to the quality of their tools (thelr
hands and their heads and the
diligence with which those tools
were used.
The speaker then addressed a
few remarks to the graduating
class that conveyed sage advice
and inspirational suggestions Tor
the future achievements that
might be builded on the founda-
ton already laid.
Miss Ireland's main address,
which was delivered without
notes, revealed a deep study OF
her subject and was at once
scholarly and logical. If her chief
object was to awaken her hearers
to a fuller appreciation of the
vast field in the modern plan OF
education filled by the high
school, and to outline the still
greater field it seems destined to
fill in the future, that object was
surely attained. Because of the
unusual amount of matter de-
manding space in this issue only
about half of the address is pub
lished. The concluding portion Will
be published next week.
Miss IreIand's Address
The growth and development of
the American high school Is one
OF the dynamic forces in our in
dustrial system, the like OF which
has never been duplicated in the
history Of education. When one
witnesses the avalanche of high
school students entering the &C.
ondary school he is compelled to
ask: From whence o the
of this enrolment? Is 1t
possible to educate everyone? Is
it desirable?" Barring those whose
are not considered normal
and limiting education to what is
as high school education,
the answer Enthusiastically will be
Yes.
The newer and modern concen-
of high school education
for all normal high school stu
dents is based on the psycholog-
ical point of view that there are
numerous and various kinds OF
mental ability, also that there are
a variety OF abilities. interests
and capacities to be found in any
group OF students-

Picnics, Exams
Mark Closing Weeb

The closing week of school has
been featured by examinations
and school picnics. In the high
school in a number of subjects
Standard tests have been used in
the examinations while some OF
the examinations have been made
out by the teachers. Tuesday the
high school and 7th and 9Th
grades enjoyed a school picnic at
Wolf Creek. while Wednesday af-
ternoon all the grades except the
primary grades had a picnic at
Sheep camp. Both were enjoyable
occasions.

THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
of the
AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL

The traditional and all too Of
ten the general high school course
that is followed is based almost
entirely on the ability to do abb
stract thinking. This traditional
college entrance preparatory
course is not geared for students
of average intelligence. 1t is CIV
en- for students from ten to TWEEN
ty points above the average in abb
stract thinking. l might say here
that about four percent of high
school graduates enter the col
leges. Under such conditions two
ways are open to solve the diff
Guilty and still give the tradition
al academic high school course.
The first way is to accept an in
ferior grade of work and the sec
ond is to eliminate the standards.
Both methods are in vogue at the
present time. The latter method
