But the respons fo’ school system can re s cooperation on the erally. In several frank discussions, Supt. Saxvik has told the people of Bismarck t what the present administration is seeking to aceomplish. There are evidences of results now only after a few months of his regime. As his hands and those of the board members are upheld, will there be greater progress. The Rotary club is seeking a way to cooperate effectively | with the school board and officials. But the cooperation must be city wide and take in every family interested and every citizen who feels that the schools after all form 'the very bulwark of the Republic. In the first instance parents should know the teaching staff better. Teachers in Bismarck should be welecmed socially at the opening of each term and during the year functions should be given that will bring the parents in closer contact so that some of the problems might be more easily solved. the Parent-Teachers Ass Saxvik are being bettered | bility of the parents is great. ch its best development except there wt of parents and tax payers gen- Larger cities have worked out a very good plan under | ation for each school. Group | organizations might be desirable here to bridge the gap that | teo often exists between the school and the home. Frequently the function of the school is misunderstood. Parents in too many instances feel that when their chiul has gone to school a great weight is off their minds and the entire responsibility is shifted upon the school authorities. If education is to bring the greatest returns for the money spend in inculeating ideals and preparing the vounger gen- erations for the battle of life and his place in society, the home must closely supplement the discipline and ideals of the school room. Inasmuch as the home practices a follow- up process in coordination with the school plan, will the sys tem preduce students of the first calibre. * The school board and_its officials can maintain necess ry requirements of curriculum, but they must have the com- plete endor: of a very vital nature have been made in requirements of students in the city schools. In the past, students were allowed to select a course that broucht them to graduation without much mental effort. It is the desire of the school | authorities to train students who when they have entered, business life or institutions of higher learning will reflect credit upon themselves and the Bismarck City schools. Surely such an aim should call for the greatest coopera- tion from the citizenry of Bismarck. Visit your schools and get acquainted with the program under way. TRADE MARDI GRAS ~ Bismarck should support loyally the efforts of the Busi. ness and Professional Women to visualize the industrial agtivities of Bismarck. It is no mean undertaking and will serve to acquaint people of the manifold businesses being cgnducted in the Capital City. Civic bodies have offered their cooperation freely and the program in process of completion is most interesting and varied. Much time and effort have been spent in securing the consent of the business interests to display in some man-: ner their various lines and the people should respond gen- ‘ erously by packing the auditorium from pit to gallery. This is the first stunt of its kind to be given in Bismarck atid has its merits as a form of direct advertising. Some very unique stunts have been worked up and interspersed | will be skits of interest that will amuse. Remember the date, Tuesday evening, Feb. 13, at the Aaditorium. DESTRUCTION . ~--Off hand you can rattle off the names of at least 20 mili- tary leaders who won lasting fame by destroying life and property. But what do you know about Edward Jenner? England, his native country, has been honoring the one-hundredth anniversary of his death. Jenner was the physician who discovered how to prevent smallpox by vaccination. This discovery, according to many scientists, has saved probably a thousand lives to every life destroyed in the last | century by wars. Remember his name. Without his dis- | covery, you might be dead now. RADIO = Photographs, sent’ by wireless, are being received iin Washington, D. C.,.in the laboratory of the inventor, F. ! Francis Jenkins.

But since the successful experi ment of Sunday night was the re- sult of utilizing both the telephone and the wireless waves, Gen, Carty. might also, appropriately, have alled attention to the fact that it was just about twenty arg ago that Guglielmo Marconi f suc- ceeded in transmitting the dots land dashes ofa telegraph ‘¢ode across the Atlantic oceag, jwith the help of a sensitive detector which he had invented-@fter @ ser- ies of experiments beginning in 1894.

Charley Cod send Shiny Shad a val- enting like this “The ocean's full of water, And the land is full of stones, The whale is full of blubber, But the shad is full of bones.” That made Shiny Shad mad and he sent this one back to Charley Cod: “A man went: fishing in the ocean With a hook and line and rod, Just because he had a fond notion, That he'd catch old Charle.! Cod. Bye and bye he up and caught him, And he slowly pulled him in But his friends declare he bought shim At the grocer’s in a tin.” ; “Oh, I don’t care,” declared Charley, when he read it. “Mebbe they do put codfish in: cans some- times, but it’s because they're so good. I'm sure no one ever heard of canning a shad anyhow.” But that, put a notion! into Charley’s head and he wrote a valentine to Mack Mackerel. This was the vai- entine he dropped into the Wiggle- fin postoffice a litle later and which Nancy handed out to Mr. Mackerel as he nassed by: “Mack Mackerel lived in the sea, And so terribly salty turned he, That he curled up his tail, And flopped into a nail, Now they serve him for broaktatt, and tea,” “Oh, shuck: “I s’pose Charley Ced thinks hes ” said Mack Senin: smart..
