They are going fora perfectly tangible object—to get gold and make themselves wealthy At first glance it seems as though it was just an-| ‘ether scramble for money. And yet the story of the gold rush makes one’s heart thrill, somehow. I comes as a welcome relief, this story of ad- venture, These men are after gold, to be sure, all cf us are; but at least they are daring death, enduring discomfort and toil, ‘risking all they own, many of them, to get it. They are proving once “more for us that he spirit of man is indomitable, _ Strangely fine, ready to risk life offhand if the right chord can be touched. And it is hardly gold in its ordinary sense that “these men seek. It is not merely the prospect cf beccming wealthy that draws them to the bleak north country. It is less than that—and more. Ad. =e-venture is in the air; a chance to pioneer, to roam the wilderness and fight the storms and touch hands © with death in a new land.

The battle of Verdun was the most terrible strug- ~ gle ever fought in the world’s history. You remem- Sider the account of it; how the Germans dropped [four million shells on the French lines in one day, @imnd:then poured regiment after regiment of their _ finest troops into the breach in a desperate effort $to break through; how the French stood their «ground doggedly, fighting back every onsldught at# “terrific cost, holding the line and saving Verdun id the war for France.

The price was so enormous that it would be unthinkable o let it be wasted, , But it is easy to be deceived as to what the fruits pf this victory really were; and it is on this point, believe, that the French veterans were mistaken, The 400,000 Frenchmen who died at Verdun did ie whcie people to servitude.

And; the fruit will not be lost. Commendable Action ! School superintendents in session at Washing- ton, D. C., have urged legislatures not to pass laws | which would restrict the scope of the curriculum. Especially were the resolutions passed aimed at anti-Darwinian legislatures. The resolutions are commendable because free- | dom of education is as essential as-freedom of the press or of the pulpit. To circumscribe and harass educational institutions would be to return t» medieval conditions. i This paragraph has the true ring and should welcomed by those who believe in the freedom education: et “Only that education can be free which provi' under conditicns appropriate to the age of the s | dent, complete liberty to seck the answer to any | honest question. We would respectfully remind} } our fellow citizens that while legislation seeking to centrob the subject matter of the ctrriculum may impede educational progress, it has not the power to alter, modify, or set aside any immutable law cf Modify Immigration Laws While in most respects a restrictive immigration law is wise legislation, there are sonie fevisions necessary, The quota from the 8a desirable na- tions should be greater.

Quotas from desirable Evro- pean countries should be enlarged. Unless such action is taken, it is going to be hard to secure set- tlers for the agricultural regions. North Dakota can suppert several thousand more farmers, and settlers are needed to bring the re- sources of this state into full production. j before.

He finds, too, that the country people no longer are content with the services cf one man who attends, or tries to at- tend, to patients of all sorts. The sufferer goes to the nearest city hospital. 4. This state of affairs accounts in some measure for the often deplored “drift cityward,” and the villages in all parts of the country are almost as much deprived of medical services as were the isolated colonists of the early days. Such, until recently, was the situation in Altura, Minn, a vil- lage of about 250 inhabitants and 200 farmer fam- ilies within a few miles. The nearest doctor was ten miles way, and that is far when a Minnesota blizzard has blocked the roads. It appears that the Alturians decided to have a doctor, and a good one, of their own. They formed a Health Association, and, after asking advice from the Mayos \and others, including the American Medical Association, they advertised in a medical jeurnal, telling who and what they were and mak- ing four offers tothe sort of man they_needed. The first guaranteed him the patronage of 125 families at $24 a year; the second made a like guarantee, but the doctor was to practice on a fee basis, and only when his receipts fell below $3,000 was the association to be assessed for the remainder; the third was a promise tonsecure as many families at $24 a year as possible, who should have first claim, but the doctor was free for outside practice; and the fourth was without guarantee, the association acting only as advisers. Another stipulation made by the Alturians was that their doctor should take over and run their drug store. For the position thus offered there were fifteen applications. The man finaJly chosen after careful investigation cf his references decided to serve under the third plan, and he and his family live over the drug store. : s Memberzhip in the association is on the basis of the family unit, with each hired man paying $6 instead of $24.
