School Begins.

Approximately $50 children put life
into the public school building here
Tuesday. There are number who
will enroll later but for ga starter
there are about 100 in the six first
grades and about 1870 in the junior
and senior high school. Chris A.
Jensen, the janitor, had the building
spick-and-span from top to bottom
for the grand opening and drilling
rain helped to break it in well the
first day.
This year it is a pleasure to state
that all the pupils will be transported
in modern buses, the last of the old
temporary boxes having been dis
carded. The transportation force for
the present term is as follows: Fred
Olesen, Henry H. johnson, Jens Peter
Bic, Harold Fisher and Rudolph
Bagge; Mr.. Bagge being the latest
addition to the new bus group. These
five modern buses replace nine of the
old type, so it should be economy
in the long run in addition to safety
and comfort for the children.
There are two new faces on the
teaching staff, Harold Jensen replac-
ing VIM. Coombe, and Miss Ingrid
Waananen replacing Miss Holly. The
entire staff and their respective homes
follows: Otto G.. Hoiberg, Askov
superintendent; Geo. 1. Glenn, Askov
principal; Roy Christensen, Detroit
Lakes; Harold Jensen, Dannebrog,
Nebr.; Miss Irene Olson, Minneapolis;
and Miss Ingrid Waananen, Virginia
in the senior high school. The junior
high school includes Miss Solveig
Utoft, physical education, art, ETC.;
Miss Bernice Anderson, Sandstone,
fifth and sixth grades; Miss Margaret
Moriarity, Superior, Wis, third and
fourth grades; Miss Emily Cole, How
ard Lake, first and second grades.
The American joins with the COM

Manners
of the
Moment

WHEN friend has special parlor
talent something like guitar
with which he can entertain people .
you should be very careful how you
use him. He may willingly play the
guitar the first time he comes to a
party at your house And he may
quite cheerfully play it second time.
But when it begins to look like every
time, he's going to rebel.
He'll begin to think that you are
really just trying to get free enter
tainer for your other guests.
Even If he is an amateur at his
stunt, you can't ask him to repeat it
too often. 1t really isn't fair.
OF course, I know there are people
a few of them-who don't mind CIV
ing their special little recitation every
time they step out into company. But
l don't think it's up to the hostess to
decide whether her friends are the
kind who like to repeat their per-
formances or not. It's up to her
friends. If the guitar player thinks
it's fun to play his guitar every time
he goes out, he'll bring it along. But
If he reaches night when he wants
to sit back and listen to some one else
talk, he'll leave it behind And that,
think, his hostess should allow him
to do. JEAN.

Selfish Child
Needs toBe
Watched
Punishment Rarely
Given Without a
Good Cause.
By ANGELO .PATRI.

"MoTHER' wish you'd do some
thing to Phillip. He's always
hitting me. He just now slapped my
face and pulled my hair
Phillip, come in here! What is
this all about? Did you slap Marie?"
"Yes. I did. Did she tell you what
she did to me?"
"No, but she will. Now Marie, what
did you do that made your brother
slap you?"
We'll, he-he's always hitting me
for nothing"
Il am not. You tell what you did
or will
Come, come, Marie You may as
we'll own up. What did you do?"
We'll, only just touched his paper
with one finger. and"
What do you mean you only
touched? Tell the truth Tell mother
that you came up behind me and
pulled my paper off the table, tore it,
so had to 60 to work all over again
and make another map for school to-
morrow. 1t took me over an hour to
get the first one done, and she de-
liberately spoiled it. I gave her a
good smack, and, believe me, it was
coming to her.
Marie, what made you spoil Phils
work."
20, he's always working. When
ever I ask him to do anything he SAYS
he has to work. Makes me sick. Can't
he come out and play with me some
times? Anyway he hasn't a right to
hit me. Daddy said So"
You'd better not tell daddy that
you tore up Phirs map or he will say
something to you that you won't like
to hear And you will have to be
punished for being so mean to your
brother
mo. please don't punish her any
more. smacked her and that's
enough. She'll know better next
time"
Smacking each other is not good
practice between brothers and sisters,
but there are times when justice and
right must prevail and primitive meth
ods can be overlooked.
The selfish child, the aggressive
spirit, need watching. Whenever one
of them comes complaining ask,
What did you do?" and stick to that
point until the question is answered
honestly. Few children get slapped
for building churches.
When children come home from
school with story of being ill-treated
at the hands of the teacher, listen
carefully and try to read between the
lines Ask. What did you do?" Or,
What didn't you do?" Then get the
right background for the story. Rarely,
very rarely, will teacher punish
child without first getting the right
of the situation.
If such a child learns that nobody
will question him; that father or
mother or big brother will fly at once
to his defense, regardless of his part
IN the drama, he will grow up with
a mistaken motion of his relation to
people and find serious difficulty in
getting along with them. What did
you do?" is an easy road to the solu-
tion OF many a childish complaint.

to be beneficial, but it will work Won
ders. Frequently I lie down and
place cotton pads soaked in witch
hazel and tepid water over my eyes.
LAS for throat and neck wrinkles, I
think remembering to hold the head
up and back and chin up is the best
way to prevent them. To prevent lines
on the face I always try to keep an
even disposition because I notice that
people who often lose their tempers
get lines at an early age. I remove
my makeup several times a day to
give the pores a chance to breathe"
Miss Bovy also thinks that a thick
Waistline is nothing more than the
result of slumping, that bending exer-
cises are good, but that these will not
be necessary "if you remember to hold
your abdomen in, think of your back
bone as an accordion which should be
pulled out to its longest length, and
keep your shoulders back"
We think 50, too . in fact We are
grateful to Miss Bovy for voicing
several splendid beauty hints.

and saucy as it can be. The
dress with its round collar, puff
4 sleeves and flare panel skirt
has the very best lines for girls be-
tween the ages of 4 and II. It's very
easy to make. The pattern brings
with it a detailed and complete sew
chart explaining every step Of the
sewing.
Aside from its crisp young lines
and childish charm, the incest thing
about this bolero frock is that 1t can
be made up in SO many different
fabrics, for so many different occas-
sions. It's a year-round, all-day
style. In gay printed and plain silk
it will be dressy enough for parties
In pique, gingham, percale or linen
it will be an ideal school frock. The
bolero may be plain and the dress
printed or vice versa; but use the con-
trast. The dress is prettier that way.
Barbara Bell Pattern. No. 1505-B,
is designed for sizes 4, 6, 8, 10 and IL
years. Size requires as yard Of So
inch material for the bolero alone,
with 2 yards of trimming. Dress
