Aggi: and Uni Duplicate. The commission, composed of Drs. Craighead and Claxton and Dr. Baw- den, industrial expert of the United States bureau of education, ‘Inds that in North Dakota, as in other states where the university and agricultural colleges are maintained as separate institutions, there is much duplication The report recommends the policy of 80 co-ordinating the work of these two institutions that the major effort of the agricultural college shall not be duplicated -by. the. university, nor the agricultural college endeavor to give its studénts courses which are offered by the university. i Division of Engineering. Specifically, the commission recom- ‘mends: that there. be maintained: in North Dakota but one law school, one college of’ professional engineering, not closely related to agriculture; one school of medicine, and: one graduate school for the pursuit of, the. libe: arts and pure sciences, all of-which it contends shevld be at the univer: sity. } ' Agriculture First. 4 At the agricultural. college _ there should be majatained, first of all, the commission holds, a complete college of agriculture, a: school of home econ- omics, a school of: veterinary medi- cine, and a school of engineering, hav- ing for its pufpose the development of agriculture ai the ‘interests related thereto, such ‘as irrigation, drainage, road-‘making, farm .machinery, the ‘manufacturing of farm products, any engineering, in fact, that may relieve the burden upon the farmer by light- ening his toil, develop rural civiliza- tion, or add to the pleasure, wealth or comfort of the rural or industrial classes. The agricultural college, through the government experiment station, will continue to carry on re- search work for the purpose of adding to the knowledge df agriculture and allied sciences. . Preparation of Teachers. The prepafatton’ ‘of ~ teachers. for high and cofiéolidated ‘schddls is en- trusted to these two institutions, the university to train expert teachers in mathematics, lierature and the pure sciences and to pre] tendents and supervisors; the agricu tural college to develop teachers. of agriculture, domestic science, the in- dustrial arts, and to train principals of consolidated rural schools and city industrial schools. - Rural Teachers Needed. ‘The commission impresses upon normal schools the fact that the great demand is for more carefully trained rural teachers, and advises especial attention to this class of pedagogues, without neglect for city instructors. A Bas the Forestry School. The commission “fails to recognize the value in a treeless state of the Bottineau school of forestry, and re- commend that it be continued as an agricultural trades school, offering practical courses in farming, forestry and horticulture, for boys; and home- making for girls, taking the place of the agricultural college with students who cannot indulge in the more ex- tensive courses. Mechanics vs. Science. Practical mechanics will play a more important part in the develop- ment of the state than the sciences, the commission believes, and it recom- mends that the state school of science at Wahpeton become a _ mechanic trades school, with agriculture as a minor subject. Education a la Carte. The commission has outlined a state-wide system of education which will enable every boy and girl: to find in some institution in North Dakota most needs in training for a chosen vocation.

This article, and those following, take up and expose the meat sit- uation in the United States more thoroughly and accurately than it has ever ‘been done before.) By H. P. BURTON. Chicago, Dec. 14.—Wholesale slaughtering and meat packing consti tute the chief outlet for market stock suitable for slaughter in the United States. The most extensive develop- ment of meat packing is found at Chi- cago and Missouri river points. The total volume of the products of whole- sale slaughtering and meat packing in this country in 1914 was $1,652,765,- 424. Concentration of ownership is one of the striking features of the packing industry.” This is practically the opening para- graph in a report on certain phases of the current meat situation in the Unit- ed States just issued by the national recog- nizes, in direct wording the almost ex- clusive control the few big’ Chicago packers have on the meat trade of America. Therefore, in dealing with the packers, we would seem not to be making false assumption in consider- ing them as the small neck of the bot- tle through which practically all meat must pass from the reservoir of the producer into the great American home. “For,” the report continues, “probably two-thirds or more of the beef, mutton and pork consumed is the product of animals which pass through the large, centralized mar- kets The important question for us to consider here is what has~ brought about this system of centralized mar- kets, one which has no counterpart in any of the other livestock producing countries of the world! Louis D. Hall, noted government specialist in this subject, analyzing the situation for the United States department of agriculture, says: Some Factors. “Its development has been due pri- marily to the fact that the livestock industry is developed mainly in the central and western states, while one- half the population lives in the man- ufacturing region east of the Missis- sippi and north of the Ohio and Po- tomac rivers. The exportation of meat animals and meat products from Atlantic ports has also contributed largely toward the centralization of livestock markets at points interme- diate between these ports and the areas of production (that is, Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, etc.). “Other factors which have exerted a like influence are: “Rapid extension of railroad, facili- tating the shipment of. stock from grazing and feeding areas; the appli- cation of refrigeration to the shipment of fresh meats, cutting down the cost of distribution by the reduction of bulk and shrinkage, besides making it possible to deliver meats to more distant points and in better condition than when shipped on foot; the in- vention of the tin can and its adapta- tion to the preservation of meats and meat products in such form as to per- (Continued on page 4) E BIS CK TRIBUNE {Home Edition | BISMARCK,.NORTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, DEC. 14, 1916.

Bismarck’s lowegt temperature last night was 20 degrees, compared with 24 degrees below Tuesday night, which was the minimum for the sea- son. Moorhead reported 22 sub-zero weather and ‘Williston 20 below, and Winnipeg, —18.. At Prince “Albert, where on Tuesday night the mercury dropped to 32 below, a government report was sent out this morning that it was 10 below there last night. “Generally fair tonight and Friday; warmer tonight with strong southwest to west winds,” reads the official fore- cast issued this’ morning.” That the cold snap is passing is shown in the official reading made at noon today. The temperature at 12 o'clock was 16 above. High Pressure Moving Eastward. The high pressure area which has caused such low temperatures during the past few days, is slowly moving eastward and decreasing in intensity. Over the north a low has made its appearance and in its southeastward Passage will result in generally fair weather tonight and Friday.
