NICHT SCHOD EXTENDS SCOPE OF EDUCATION Important New Field of Useful- ness Opened up Through this Innovation MUST MAKE PHYSICAL PLANT PAY ITS BOARD Too Much Loss and Wasted En- ergy Under Old System, Says Minot Superintendent “One engaged in educational work naturally comes to have a feeling of baffled tment at the limitations ared with the ainment,” said Supt. of the ‘Minot public recruits who can be mobilized for further training in night schools, ‘it would seem that these offer the larg- est returns on the expenditure. Adults whose educational opportunities have been limited may excite our pity, but it the youth whose advancement been interrupted that should en- st our best efforts, because he has the greater possivilities for good or ill. “One of the problems which those entrusted with educational administra- ion have yet to solve is that of secur- ing a higher return on the fixed cap- ital invested, The public is willing to make almost any sacrifice to care for the additional needs, but the increas- ing cost of maintenance and operation to serve what we have considered the special purpose of our schools is im- posing a severe strain upon. public support and will force a showing of results. One of the most tangiblg proofs of the school’s willingness to undertake further service and justify a further expansion of the budget would be the extension of school priv- ileges to a larger number of pupils and ihereby reduce the percapita cost. “From a social as well as an eco- nomic standpoint the welfare of the high school is enhanced by a larger attendance. A critic of the high school has characterized it as a class insti- tution where few enter and fewer graduate; an institution which im- preses the public with its air of snob- BRUCE Superintendent of Minot Public Schools, schools, addressing the department on secondary education of the North Da- kota Education association on the sub- ject, “Night Schools for Pupils of High school Ability.” “With all the wealth of opportunity how few take advantage of them, and how very of these improve them fully. It really seems that effort lags as facilities are multiplied. Not so, the night school student. He real- izes the necessity of making the most of his time--he appreciates his limita- tions, and recognizes the part train- ing has in his advancement. What- ever” the jcause,, his attitude toward work is wholly changed and instead ited, bored laggard, we have a purposeful, interested student. “Whether we admit the charges or not, there is something wrong when the ratio of numbers in the first and twelfth grades is ien to one. There is too much loss when six or e'ght years are spent in acquiring skill in the means of oDtaining an education and only one in ten make use of the skill acquired.

LOSES Only Victory and Disarmament Can Avert Logical Development of Preparedness “It certainly should not be held as hostile to our schools that their ideal- sm has not availed to prevent war,” said Prof. W. B.

A night school, on the other hand, commands respect because it: is rec- ognized*as an institutton where equal opportunity for all the children of;all; the people is the watchword. ‘It rec- ognizes the dignity of labor and the true worth of manhood. It emodies | and reflects the composite spirit that dominates American life, and is at once the most’ genuinely democratic and most thoroughly representative of our institutions. “We in America are coming more and more to rely upon public senti- ment, not only to direct and dictate our. policy. but to. give the momentum necessary to effective accomplish- ment. Since this is the case, nation- al effectiveness in a crisis like the present, depends upon the recognition of a common purpose and the united action of all our people :in carrying out that purpose. “The importance of enlisting and mobilizing all the forces in the com- munity never was more essential than at present, nor has the opportunity for an effective educational campaign ev- er been presented which compares with the present. Our people -were never so responsive as now. The or- ganization of social forces was never so _cfficiont, and the changes in our industrial, social and economic. life were never before so revolutionary. As. school people we may congratulate ves on being permitted to put a piece of work ‘which is of immediate value and which carries with it larger possibilities than we can realize.” RUSTLERS OFFER REDS $5.10 HANTAN SUCAE “Indians Turn State's Evidence and .
