Although Houdini wrote copiously on magic, the fruit of his quarter of a jcentury experience as a conjuror, his managers announced that his own methods never were revealed. Although Houdini performed the usual run of magical tricks, and gained considerable notice for his un- iring attacks on spirit mediums, the Late probably was most attracted to is adeptness in releasing himself from almost any kind of confinement. that could be devised. In one of his favorite tricks he per- mitted himself to be bound hand and foot in a box wrapped with ropes and chains and placed under water. He escaped from thousands of straight jackets, picked innumerable locks and freed himself while hanging from a derrick in manacles and straight jacket. Peritonitis which followed an oper- ation for appendicitis last’ Monday caused his death.

GRADE SCHOOLS | Youth of N. D. Should Be Ed- ucated For Life and Work of This State Common schools of North Dakota institutions of . higher learning should be favored in distri- bution of tax money, according to Thorstein, H, Thoresen, state tax ommissioner, "who discusses the sib- jdJect at some length in his annual re- port to the state legislature. “We cannot do too much for our! common school system,” Thoresen{ and. “I do not think we are invest- | ing too much money for public schodls but TI do think we are not spending well the money used. I be- heve every child in Worth Dakows should have a common school educa- tion. If we can succeed in doing that we are making wonderful pro-, gress. Giving an education to the| youth of our state does not mean that | we must spend hundreds of thousands jof dollars each year in education | frills which are of no definite value | jto the people of the state. “We must not forget that North jDakota is an agricultural state and that the function of any public enter- prise financed by the people of the state is to equip the future citizens ‘for the life and work of this etate and not educate them away from our life as seems too much to be the case at present. Program Not Practical “We are building our educational | ®ystem upon the theory that every child will obtain’n university educa- tion, Such a program, of course, is | not practical or necessary. It would be a fine thing if every child could obtain such education but it would be and is essentially detrimental to pro- vide such education if the purpose thereof is to educate the people away from North Dakota so as to render them useless in the life and upbuild- ing of the state. “I believe it is a good investment to make proper provision for the com- mon schools and the high schools of our state. Let our slogan be—For | every boy and girl in North Dakota a high school education adapted to} the needs of the state When we, proceed beyond this care and _re-| trenchment must be exercised, Un- fortunately for the state, in its early | history, our higher institutions of! | education were scattered all over the | state. There seems to me to have jbeen two reasons for this—selfish- (ness and polities, We have so far continued to suffer under the load of duplication and its looks very much like we will huve to so continue in the future, - “It seems to me that we are build- ing up miniature universities all over the state. This increasing’ tax bur- den must be borne by the already overburdened taxpayer. Beginning with the Southeastern portion of the state we may enumerate the follow- ing institutions of higher education supported by taxpayers of the state and located within the radius of 10 counties: The Normal and Industrial school at Ellendale, School of Science at Wahpeton, Agricultural College at! Fargo, Normal School at Valley City, Normal school at. Mayville and the University at Grand Forks. In addi- tion to this we have other recognized colleges in the same _ territory: Jamestown College, Concordia Col- lege and Moorhead Normal. Too Much Duplication “The greatest waste is that much of the work done in all these institu- tions mentioned is duplication—and such duplication results in wasted money. In addition to these men- tioned we have three more state edu- cational institutions, one at Minot, one at Bottineau and one at Dickin- son. Verily, North Dakota is well supplied with institutions of r education and most of these are edu- cating the youth away from the state, It is pe ascertainable, by one glance at course of study- offer- ed, that whosoever pursues most of courses will have to leave the atate to make use of his education. “The greatedt objection which the (Continued on page seven.) | DESERVE MOST OF TAX MONEY a might see it. “IS WELCOMED - BY GOVERNOR Mayor Lenhart Extends Wel- come in Behalf of the Peo- ple of Bismarck LARGE CROWD AT DEPOT Queen Delighted With In- formality of Affair—Talks With Those Nearby Her Majesty, Queen Marie of Ru- mania, was presented to several thou- sand North Dakotans by Governor A.
