The special summem bul- letin will be sent upon request to the college, of which M; W. Deputy is president. R TWO BOYS WITH FLASHLIGHT RESPONSIBLE FOR “GHOSTS"” Since the “ghost” story has been reported from the Frohn community, it has developed that the cause of the mystery was .a practical joke played by two boys of that town- ship, aided by an innocent looking flashlight.

Ada comes for a twilight game Thursday evening, and Sunday following Thief River-Falls-will be here for the first meeting with the local tossers this season. It has been erroneously circulated that a team from Bagley has defeat- ed the Gonvick team this year. Such is not the case, as the game between Bagley and Bemidji at the latter city last Sunday might easily indicate. Gonvick and Bagley- have not met this year and Bagley is not a mem-~ ber of the Red River Valley league.

The latter can hardly consider the question of limitatiox, sither by arbitrary methods or by raising the standards of ad- mission. The public considers that service, and its position is sound. The difficulties of limitation for as it pays the bills, it is entitled to any institution are well nigh prohibi- tive. Excessive fees will limit attendance, but that plan means that the institution ‘exists only for the wealthy. - If entrance conditions are raised much above the general level of the secondary schools, then the institution exists for the favored few, mostly from large ‘cities, or for the peculiar class who are sharks at securing grades. It is feasible to reduce numbers by requiring strict attention to busi- ness after entrance, in that way eliminating the worst of all bad students, the indifferent junior and the senior who barely skins through. There is some reason to believe that the intelligence test may be used to supplant other. means of determining whether students should continue in college work.

RECOVERS WATCH LOST TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Twenty-five years ago while plow- ing in a field on his farm a short distance west of Bemidji, Ira M. Fos- ter, who now lives in Bemidji, lost a gold watch, Thorough search failed to diclose the lost article and even though Mr. Foster watched closely for the watch to be turned up into sight while he was plowing that same field in the years that followed, the long-lost timepicee re- mained in hiding until Monday of this week, when it was brought into view by Joe Miller, to whom Mr. sold that part of his farm some time ago. Mr. Miller was hocing in this field, which he now uses as a garden spot, when the hoe struck something solid, which later proved to be the long- lost watch. Mr. Foster is now in possession of the time-piece, which looks little the worse for its long period of hibernation, A curious individual, when jnformed that the wateh had been found, wanted to know if it was running. The chance are that it will be after a short trip to a jewelry shop, since the solid hunting case served as ample pro- tection during the twenty-five years which it was imbedded in the soil. Sairy Gamp’s Modern Counterpart Still Competing With Trained Nurse By ISABELL M. STEWART, Columbta, in The Survey. The struggle to maintain decent nursing standards has been going on since the first schools for nurses were founded in this*country in 1873, and the battle is not yet won by any means. Reactionists who' believe in the efficiency of the pre-Nightingale nurse, are active in advertising the virtues of the untrained or semitrained combination of domestic and nurse, who is miraculously to relieve the present shortage of nurses and whose services are to be especially designed for the sick poor and for the rest of us who belong to the unfortunate wage-earning class. But these modern Sairy Gamps never have séen anything in nursing except a form of simp smattering of elementary They usually state that le manual work requiring some dexterity and & knowledge which they believe can be obtained in a few weeks or months by any ordi ! ° they consider any knowledge beyond this & posi- nary woman who can read and write. tive detriment and an encroachment on the province of the physician, They believe that a worker of this type will be quite willing, not only to care for the sick in the ordinary family, but to do a considerable share of the housework as well—at the modest sum of $15, or at most of 825, & week. Once all this had been accomplished, they will promise that large numbers of highly corpetent women will flock into this field of work and that soon every one Wi can employ & cook or housemaid.
