It appears that heads of institutions are past masters of the art of work- ing through appropriations. “The educators said when the in- itiated tax bill was up last fall that they believed in lower taxes but the matter should be left to the legisls ture, so that taxes could be cut in- telligently,” Mr. Jones asserted. “In- stead of providing for scientific re- dxetion each one of these comes here asking larger appropriations than before.” Cost Per Pupil The reduction of state aid to schools, which he says causes local schools to attempt higher standards than they can afford, and cutting the cost of transportation of pupils, are held steps in the right direction by Mr. Jones. Each district can take care of its own, he says, and does not need so much supervision from the state department of edu- cation. The creation of consolidated schools he calls the biggest mistake | the state has made, and says the| system is being abandoned in many wealthier states. Ascertaining that the cost of edu- cation in Ripon College, Wisconsin, | his alma mater, is $256 per pupil per year, Mr. Jones asserted that cost of education in North Dakota normal schools and other institutions of higher learning run from $2 per capita per year to $600 per cupita per year. The Ellendale Nor- mal and Wahpeton School of Science show the lowest per capita costs, he asserted, ARTESIAN SUPPLY FAILS North Dakota’s Water Supply Said to be Sinking wells supplying water for about 7,000 farms in North Dakota will fail un- less waste of the water is stopped, according to a report published by the geological survey. | this | the Carrington Merc.

Patrick and Brig. Gen. Mitchell of the army air service fav- or placing both army and navy ser- vices under a single executive head, an army man, Rear Admiral Moffett of the navy air service says such an arrangement would take good care of the army but leave the navy un- provided for. ‘ Secretary of the agrees with Admiral Moffett but Secretary of War Weeks disagrees with Gens. Patrick and Mitchell. Mitchell really the most man — in Washington, Moffett are just as enthusiastic but Moffett holds the air services to be no more than army and navy arms and Pat- rick considers the combined services a military arm in a general way. Mitchell looks on air power as en- tirely an independent~proposition. Navy Wilbur Secretaries Weeks and Wilbur take . the same position that the tendency lof the army and navy is to develop, air forces of distinctive character, radically different methods, plan machine types. The two secretaries argue thus: The army and navy have separate missions. The army fights on land and the navy on the water. Land fighters have no business at sea, except possibly on their way to some other shore where land fight- ing is to be done. Sea fighters have no business on land, except oc- casionally temporarily, as when small forces of marines are landed. Both branches of the service ireraft—to help them, not to ht. independently. To get just he ‘hind-of help they need the army commander should have aviators un- der his own command and the navy commander should have them under his command. in organization, of operations and REPORT COAL FOUND UNDER CITY OF FARGO go, N.
