STANDARD OF SCHOOLS BEING ‘NUCH IMPROVED Great Changes Shown State’s School System in the Past 15 Years Although rapid improvement has been shown in the standard of North Dakota’s graded school system, the peak of efficiency has not yet been reached, according to the annual re- port of the inspectors of standardiz- ed schools now being prepared for woe ion dy the state department of eel instruction. The report shows, ‘however, that North Dakota’s citizens are intensely interested in improving educational facilities for their children and tha‘ results are being obtained for the money spent. In 1911 when state inspectors of ruml schools first took the field thete were 12 consolidated rural 125 standardized schools. By, 1921 there were 827 consolidat- ed schools, 31 graded schools and 662 one-room ' schools which complied with the state standard. ¢ 1925 report will show 396 con- solidated schools, 43 graded schools and 965 standardized . one-room schools, . one-room rural Get Help from State ‘hools meeting the state standard e financial aid from the state them In 191 ate fund was only 170.

That suction is the “tow rope.” Close following, especially. close passing on turns, causes accidents Each driver crouches down, nothing but his eyes showing above the streamline metal windbreak in front of him. He wears goggles, keeps his eyes on the track, sees and hears nothing ex- cept the bricks ahead, the roar of his engine and the cars that pass him. Each man Tooks toward his own “pit” as he passes. In his pit the mechanic holds up a board, four fect on which is written the in- formation that the driver wants, how fast he is going, and advice. You are impressed with the power of wind, when you see that the high speed has caused Driver Bob Ma Donough’s shirt'to be blown off back. It streams in the wind: behind hanging to his shoulders. It is fortunate for us that the air ‘has the power.

Satire teen miles of travel on 22 cents’ worth of gasoline is cheap Labial The engines in pears race prove that man, although wasteful, is con- siderably more efficient ‘than Mother Nature. You know the size of an or- dinary horse. Those small concen- trated engines racing around the brick track today, develop one and one-half horsepower in one cubic inch of piston displacement. Compressing a ‘horse and a half into one cubic inch without _losi ‘any power, and with great economy in feed and upkeep, is an achicvement. The horse’s heart beats about sixty times a minute. In the pistons of en- gines that raced yerterdey, there are 450 explosions every second. And the revolutions of the flywheel at high speed go up to 7,000 a minute. Yet all this is awkward, slo: ‘um- bersome compared with nature’s infra! micrescopic achievements.

Canadian attorneys were warned by Tracev Bangs, North Dakota attor- ney, here last night, that attempts were being made to break down es- tablished forms of government in Canada and the United States. ‘Attempts are being made in Can- ada and in the United States by So- cialigts, Communists and Bolsheviks to break down the established forms of government,” he said in urging members of the legal profession to do their best to lead their countries out of the danger which they were con- fronted with.
