A. Nestos told the attend- ants at the founders day celebration here last night. The constitution and the law, declared the governor, pro- vided that sectarian religious doc- trines might not be taught, that in- struction in religion might not be a part of the university courses under the law, but he algo held that the same constitution and the same laws that stopped the lips of the instruc- tors in the affirmation of religion also acted as a bar to the teaching of the - opponents of religion. In the beginning of the address Governor Nestos referred to the ad- dress preceeding his in which Rich- ard (©. Wetzel spoke of and for the founders of the University and tho governor bespoke again for North Da- kota the high aim for these men, who planted a school six years before the commonwealth became a state. The governor then continued to quote the laws which these men With their faith and their ideals thought it wise to superimpose upon the teaching of re- ‘ligion in the university. “It agreed that these precautions were wise,” declared the governor, af- ter he had concluded a review of the laws, “and it is quite generally con- ceded today that those who teach in the state institutions should not en- gage in any religious instruction in or about the institution, and 1 am pleased to say that seldom, if ever, are the provisions of our constitution and laws violated, as far as any posi- tive roligious instruction in any of our state institutions is concerned. Violate Spirit “But a practice has grown up in many of the state institutions which is infinitely worse, and which consti- tutes just as direct a violation of the spirit of the provisions of our con- stieution and laws as would any teach- ing of specific denominational doc- trines. ‘his consists of attacks made by teachers in the class-room or upon the campus in the presence of stud- ents, upon fundamental doctrines of tho church, and upon elements of the faith of the founders of the institu- tions, and of men and women who fur- nish the financial support of | these state institutions and who send their children here to them for instruction and guidance, “The teachers who have been guilty of this practice seem to have assumed ,that the Enabling Act, the constitu- tion, and the laws, are being violated only when the teachers at the state in- stitutions advocate positive denomina- tional doctrines and teachings, They seem to think that sarcasm and sneer- ing attacks upon the faith of the founders and their descendants and the teaching of doctrines’ especially designed to undermine that faith, do not constitute a violation of these con- stitutional“and legal provisions. “My conviction is that any such teaching, undermining the funda- mentals of religious faith, and the sarcastic attacks upon the beliefs of the so-called ‘old fogies’ who still ad- here to them, constitute a still more vicious and damnable violation of the spirit of our conbtitation and the faith and the ideals of the founder of the university than does any denom- inational instruction. I say this at the risk of being charged with em- bracing a narnow dogmatism, unbe- coming in the free atmosphere of a university. I rest my case for the fathers and the founders, now forever silent; upon the solid ground of the law they have left and which you will find as far back as the Territorial Code of 1877. They have in those old statutes embalmed, we trust for- ever, their faith and what I confident- ly believe they hoped would be the faith of their prosperity. If you want ‘to know what they thought, what they believed and what they wished their descendants to respect and re- vere, I commend to your thoughtful consideration section 31 of the old Penal Code, still a part of. our sta- tutory law as Section 9222, C. L. 1913, where they seek to protect fram qon- tumely the Christian religion, ‘the Holy Scriptures and the Triune God. They were not ashamed to. let the world know what they believed; they would be ashamed and chagrined to’ know that any institution they fiound- ed should tolerate contumelious or contemptuous treatment of those things that men and women hold most dear. Scorn Religious Truths “I may say here that the men and women who thus violate the spirit of the constitution andthe laws, in my opinion constitute but a small per- centage of the faculty of any of the institutions, and that the great major- ity wf the faculty members honestly and fairly observe and follow the spirit of our laws. ‘During the past two years as I have been traveling around the state, I have frequently learned of parents who had sent a beloved son or daugh- ter to one pf the state institutions, and upon the return of the son or| daughter at the end of the year, in sorrow had learned that their chil- dren had become scorners of religi- ous truths and professed agnostics. I can sympathize with a father and mother who, from the teachings of childhood and the experience of a life- time, have reached the conclusion that their faith and religious experi- ence mean more than anything else in || life, and constitute, if followed by the children, a greater guarantee of their success and happiness in life, |] than’ anything else that can be done Hor them, and then discover that some {teacher whose salary they are helping | 'to pay has sought to dynamite every foundation of the faith that is theirs. not the chse. I recollect quite dis-) iinctly that upon making trips on the | street car from the university to Grand Forks some ten or twelve years |ago I heard teachers of this institu-| | tion talking loudly and volubly in the; | presence of a number of students, [viciously attacking and ridiculing re- ligious doctrines and ancient leaders | of the church held in reverence by the | great majority of our people; elements lof faith possessed by the parents who) sent their children to the university, and by whose hard earned money the | scorners’ salaries were paid. It griev- | ed me much to think ‘that such a thing waS possible and J said to my- {self and to others that if I-ever had the chance or the power to hit that [ine us violation of our constitu- 'tional guarantees and legal-rights, I would hit it with all the strength I possessed, | “I hope 1 will not be misunder- stood. My objection is not to the faith or religious belief, or lack of religious belief of the professor—that is his own concern, He has the same |rights and should enjoy the same freedom that I claim for myself, and for the students at the state institu- ‘tions. He may believe anything he pleases with reference to’God; the Bi-| ble, and the elements of pur faith, but he has no right to express..that be- lief in the class-room or upon the campus in the presence of students, and especially do I object to the mak- ing of these statements for the pur- pose of undermining the faith of the students, jor beMttling the faith and religious beliefs of their fathers. If |these teachers desire employment in jour state institutions, and compensa- tion from our tax moneys, they should be willing to observe not only the let: ter, but the spirit of the qonstitu- tion and the laws of this state, and | that means not only that they shall refrain from religious instruction but also from the demonstration of anti- religious sentiments. Honor to Founders i “The teacher who is worth \retain- ing is a leader, a model to his stad- ents. Let him scrupulously. refrain from expressing sentiments to his) loyal but immature followers that may undermine or break down that faith which the experience of a world skows is the only sure foundation on which to build individual and national character.” In concluding his address, the gov- ernor turned to the theme of the Founders, in whose honor the day’s observance was. “It seems I can see and hear those jstern pioneers of the prairie state we love; some left their eastern homes where culture, learning. and simple faith, inherited from colonial ances- try, prevailed; others came from for- leign lands to breathe the air of lib- erty, bringing with them homely vir- tues of honesty and truth; but. all were men who through the privations of pioneer days, when sometimes the only. code was: that code of honor. which generations of virtuous ances- tors had ‘cultivated in their heredi- tary character, retained a fundamental lyeverence for. their’ Creator, a rever- ence which the freedom of the fvon- tier never lessened. I can see them, hear them, as they meet in their leg- islative assemblies to write the law; I see the seamed faces; hear the rough words, as one by one they write the statutes that insure liberty and edu- cation to their children. They, the Founders, call to us through the mists of the past: ‘There shall be no sec- jtarian instruction in our free schools, {imposing upon the minds of,our chil- dren doctrines and dogmas distaste- ful to them; neither shall there be in the name of that liberty we prize above possessions and within tho walls of these free schools we have established, any insidious undermining of that reverence fior God and His In- spired word which through all the tribulations of frontier life we have found the only safe rule of life and conduct, upon which we builded our faith and which we seek to protect from the sneer of the one who ‘in his heart has said there is no God.’’ May we heed this call, hear its message and carry it with us through the years.” HERA eas Damascus, Benares and Constanti- nople are among the oldest cities in the word. is Money Back Nothing 1s 50 utter! , suffering from. ‘aching, painful corse, “ as easy to pecl off a corn. nana.

A thousand? t Well, Dr. Ida Joe Brooks of Little Rock knows about 15,000—and all the faces belong to little folk. i She is in charge of health: in. the public schools, professor of ‘psychi- atry in the medical department of the Arkansas university, and psychologi- cal alienist for the juvenile court of Little Rock, Wor 14 years her work has been in the interest of Little Rock children. Some 15,000 pass through’her hands annually, and while she laughingly admits that she does not remember all their. names, ¢he hastens to add: “But I know all their faces!” And if you walk down the street with Dr. ‘Brooks, her statement is substantiated. Almost every child she meets has a cheery “hello.” Dr..Brooks held the rank of first lieutenant during the war, as public health officer of Little Rock. She is a memher of the fitst suffrage club ever formed in the ‘state and has blazed her way through adverse sen- timent for her Republican politics in a Democratic population. In 1920 she was called to St. Louis to receive her golden diploma from Central high school of that city, where she graduated 50 years ago— an honor pupil at 15, in a class of 41. Before cofing to Little Rock, Dr. Brooks was eupérintendent in ‘hospi- FARGO af tty * ; Fargo, N. D.

A home economics club of a ¢ol- lege in Moorhead, Minn., just actoss the Red river from Fargo, has also begun a study of correct bearing. “I believe that all the advertising that has-been put out on the subject of etiquette has influenced people to become interested in the subject,” said Miss Rynning. ‘“They constantly see pictures in the magazines of peo- nlé doing the improper thing with heavy type” shouting at them, ‘What Look for the Big Sioux | Trademark 5 FIFTEEN THOUSAND LITTLE FACES AN », SHE KNOWS ALL OF THEM N DR.
