The Bismarek territory has natural advantages for such immigration, the write , but declares there is an i impression abroad of lost faith in North Dakota, and that the people must show vim and spirit if they would profit by inducing these new settlers to North Dakota lands. Sees Big Movement. | The letter, which indirectly chides many North Dakotans for being pes- simistic, follows: “A farmer immigration movement of! large proportions is headed for this country from Northern Europe. ‘The importance of turs movement lies in the fact that it is made up of ge tlers of high type and good resources as evidenced by the advance guard which passed through New York Jast month, compésed of two score fami lies whose cash resources aggregated several hundred thousand dollars. “We have no interest in locating these new citizens in atly particular , but trust they mgy be at- tractel to localities needing scttlers and development, and offering future benefits of land value increase, plus : B PRRte Tie vadaensla der che || (Mr Waikocqwhivesiae will come to purpose of giving a word of caution. | the Auditorium on June 5 in “The hese. people exercise. keen judg. | Hindu”, « thrilling melodrama of In- inent int analyzing # countey, They {tit todas, in which he triumphed last will not consider sections that are reps tnt ty and Ch standing still or going backward Ee UTM eaL EananLtL uegatieT They want evidence of progress. | jrises, Mr. Whiteside will) ay They consider a country adversely | have in his support: the distigguished whose land prices are stagnant oF |¢motional actress, Mise Sydney depressed, as indicating a lack of Shields and notable cust of. well faith of the local people in their own | known New York. play lands and community. . including | Harold Vosburgh, Grace Lynn, Mig- 5 non McClintock, Elwyn Katon, Hir-/ Current Impression Bad. | old de Beek antos Roberi, Grant is seems to be the current im- | Sherman, Silva and S, Pazum- 1 pression of North Dakota—that its | ha.

Mr. Kvello holds there is a point beyond which not even a rich coun- try like the United States will zo. He considers the rising cost of edu- cution, From 1890 to 1920 the cost of free elementary schools in the | United States grew from 140 million dollars to one billion dollars. Dur- ing the same period the student en- | rollment grew from thirteen million to twenty-two million, a gain of percent, and in the high schools from 200,000 t: 000,000, a gain of 1,000 percent. The salaries of teachers .ad- vanced from ninet. x million to four hundred and thirty-six million Mr. Kyello takes Ransom county as typical, saying: “Ransom County is a typical east- ‘ern county and I find that the ‘fol- lowing figures apply .to the county as a whole! including the city of Lis-! bon and other-towns. In the period from 1917 to'1922 the Aaaler oe in- Intermediary ene | "jand T am-of the opinion that a gon- «jin spi | creased from 2,707 to’ 2,907; the high | school enrollment. from 240 to. 490; the number of teachers from 128 to 1 the salaries of teachers from $77,278.82 Lo ‘$104,368.53 an increase (of a little better than one hundred per cent. The total school indebted- ness of the county increased from $147, to $324,482.70 and the , transportation cost from $11,918.71 to $24,446.11. = | Conclusion Drawn Mr. Kvello, with’ the above state-| ments, then draws conclusions on | the problem in North Dakota, with cgard to: rst. There should be the strict: |, est supervision of expense on the’ part of the Boards in every detasl of | cost from chalf to buildings, When! public servants give to public busi- ne the same degree of conservative management that the careful fi or business man gives to his private affairs then hundreds of thousands of dollars will be saved) ‘arinually here is zreat need of more wa ni the | expense. | Still I would rather put more money | into good teachers;than I would into! buildings. Well prepared and cxpér ienced instructors shoyld réceive j higher salaries’ than’ they are now | receiving. Teachers-with little trai ing or experience are> new’ recciving far too much. We never will have capable leaders in our ‘schools until j we make the qualifications such that | t none but 'the'-fit could qualif, This | |is the wisest, econonty, The ti ‘and qualified teacher; will do for the bossa and girls ip one school ‘year than the, poor teacher in the | whole school time of the student. To- day when, the school room. is becom- ing the training place of our youtn ‘in body, mind and spirit we cannot \afford to send to the firing Tine t.ny but highly trained and qualified ‘teachers. If our government could spend millions upon ions for jleaders of men in war how much more important is it for us to spend ai cnough to get real leaders to fit our children for the great battle of life. What these salaries should be is » open question. I may have lib:ral ideas on this part of our problem but I would say that for one with a high school foundation and two years of professional training and. one or more years of successful experience in your own school it should not be jless than $125.00 per month, and j from that to $165.09. Experience in some other community would not count much with me. To be worth | most to you he or she should be a part of your community life, and the come and go teacher seldom does that. To have the highest influence jand to be a real character. builder, for your children the teacher must live among you and. work among you at least. long enough to understand the environment. of the pupils under her chatge. : Third.

In my county of’ Ransom the cost more than doubted in five years. :1 believe thoroughly-in good schools | solidated: school -is ‘preferable to the average one room school house. But unfortunately in this-state we are too sparéely settled and too poor, in wordly taxable wealth for successful consolidation except in a few favor- ed lovahties, Even in Wisconsin and other wealthier and: mote popu- lous States it is a heavy and serious burden. It should not be extended under present’ conditions. Simplification of Course “Finally the greatest saving, in the estimation of many eompetent critics, will come from a simplification of the course of study. This too is largely outside of your control and lies with the State:Admi istration and the leg- islature.” » Back to Fundamentals Mr. Kvello proposes*that the curri+ ; culum be brought back to*fundamen- talsowHe sholds thet /magual. trai ing, as an example, is mot necessarily a part of a free school system. “If manual training is necessary in our high schools then why not train- ing in electrical engineering, plumb- | ing, smithing, banking and many oth- er commerci#l “and — professional {courses of equal or greater valuc, as “Their inclusion in the course would tend to only one thing and that, to further, scatter the al- enters and cnergies' of the student body.” He said further: It is not my purpose to lay out a; course of éudy, even ift wete able {to do so, But the fundamentals have been .often:pointed ayt by othors-who e qualified to speak.

C. Peters, for- mer president, who was brought back from Leavenworth to co-operate with the receiver of the closed institution and the authorities in prosecuting | those criminally responsiblé with the officers of the bank for loading itj with worthless paper, gave testimony in actions against three surety com- panics who furnished the bonds of the three bank officials. About $36,- 000 is involved. The depositions of Will Clifford and J. E. Bryans in thé action of the state to dissolve the Great American Gas company are being taken. In this Special Assistant Attorney General Frencis Murphy, who also served as special assistant United States attor- ney in the sfohall bank case, repre- sents the statc, while Judge L. J.

Dak, May 30— Ground was broken on the Campus of Jamestown College yesterday for | a new gymnasium, which will be the eleventh building on the campus. For the first furrow, Carl Ericson, ph sical director fot men, and Miss Mary, Watt, physical director for women held the plow. An enthusi: tic group of gstudents gathered on the side lines and cheered vigorous- ly.. The students have more direct ¢onnection with this enterprise than fs usual, for on their own motion they subscribed and raised in James- town nearly $10,000 towards the project. The starting of construction of the gymnasium has special signifi- cance. The building is to be a mem- orial to World War Soldiers from the College and the local community and it is especially appropriate that it should be Started on the eve of our National Memorial Day. The building is located on the east of the quadrangle, opposite Voorhees Chapel, and within a few hundred feet of the coulee in which the stadium will be buil The building is to be 185 feet by 73 feet, a background of knowledge.
