Santa Visits Wards Christmas Day, at 9 o'clock in the morning, Superintendent and Mrs. Guest, with the officers of the in- stitution, and a real Santa, visited the 40 wards, and personally dis- tributed to each patient a sack of candy and fruit. In addition, the state remembered those patients who, throughout the year, do certain light work, with some gift of a use- ful character, such as wearing ap- parel, ties, handkerchiefs, etc. The patients’ personal gifts, sent by rel- atives and friends, and which were unuslly large this year, were put on the ward Christmas trees, and given each patient by their own nurse. Dr. Omer Rathman, dressed as Santa Claus, furnished a reat deal of amusement for the patients. The Christmas dinner was served at noon, and consisted of the follow- ing menu—roast stuffed turkey, giblet gravy, mashed and sweet po- tatoes, cranberry sauce, squash, celery, green onions, pickles, raisin bread, mince pie, butter, coffee, candy and nuts. The congregate dining room seats 800 patients, and they now enjoy music from a new Electric Victrola with an Orthophonic Reproduction, recently installed in this dining room. Church Services Conducted At 3 o'clock there was the usual church service. Rev. Webber of the Presbyterian church of Jamestown reached the sermon, and special Christmas music was given by the hospital choir and orchestra, direct- ed by Geo, Michaud. For several days the employes and patients spent a great deat of time decorating their wards to be ready for Christmas morning, and all these are very artistic and most beautiful. The management be- lieves this work helps to get the patients, and everyone about the hospital, in a happier spirit for Chrismas Day. The wards remain decorated for two weeks. ‘ Dr. eee oo an bbe easiere the people of the state to visi e hospital, and urges them to do s0, in order to be shown the wards at this time. Will Celebrate 8th Anniversary of Prohibition Westerville, Ohio, Dec. 28.—?)— Proclaming the Volstead act a new declaration of independence, which has brought about “highly bene- fical” results after eight years of “only partial observance,” the Anti- loon League of America is pre- wing for national observance of pai the eighth anniversary of the act. Plans for the demonstration, to be made an annual affair, were an- nounced here by Bishop Thomas Nicholson of the Methodist Episco- pal church and Dr. F. Scott McBride, meral superintendent of the ue, Me ieuximately 25,000 churches throughout the country will partic- ipate, they said, in the demonstra- tion which will culminate at noon Monday, January 16, by the ringing i May Force Banks to Cut Interest Rates Possibility that the state guaran- 7, fund commission will order a re- in the legal rate cent no banks in are She Is the Star of French Films Here is Mile.

The speaker was Prof. William C. Ruediger, dean of the school of education at George Washington University. Citing figures to.show that high schools and colleges were leaving many gaps in the education received by students, Professor Ruediger recommended the organ-' branch off into pre-medical, pre- legal, pre-teaching and other more} or less specialized curricula. For completion of this cycle three years would be required, at the end of which time a bachelor's degree would logically be conferred. The student would then be ready for en- trance into a professional school.” Subjects Repeated Professor Ruediger presente? data to show that whereas large percentages of college students had never had -courses in physics, chemistry, zoology, physiology or the history and appreciation of art, and she's Bollinger, Flasher, deceased. \ty by a margin of 26 votes over his |{ Personal and | Social News of THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE many subjects had been “waste- fully repeated. “Enis means,” he asserted, “that many si ts had essentially the samo subjects in both high school and college, in spite of the fact that most of these students had not yet had certain other funda- mentals. “These omissions and wasteful duplications are the direct result of the lack of an educational sys- tem in this country. We have elementary schools, high schools and colleges, but we have no in- tegrated educational system. The ‘chaos, for the. present at least, is being enhanced by the introduction of junior high schools and junior colleges. Each unit is attempting ‘to organize its own curriculum quite regardless of what came be- fore and what comes after Yet each unit is too short alone to give a rounded education and so long ‘as our present lack of articulation jbetween units continues, the out- lcome is bound to reveal yawning | gaps and wasteful duplications.” Professor Ruediger pointed that present trends in educational reorganization were toward a sys- nes similar to the one outlined by jim. out ing the holidays in Manda: th icants to be joyed in this|and other trophies.
