= a ctivities o Physical Education in Schools Is Program Is Under Director of Recreation, Assisted By Teachers A program of physical recreation launched recently in Bismarck’s ele- mentary schools under the direction of John W. Reel, director of recrea- tional activities, is interest- ing to the children and worth while to school heads, according to H. O. Saxvik, superintendent of schools. This program, which is part of the recreation program sponsored by the board of recreation activities, is based upon the latest and most ac- cepted methods of physical education. The aim of the physical education work is not only to teach the boys and girls those activities which are most interesting, as well as enjoy- able, but which will at the same time provide for every child the oppor- tunity to develop those desirable qualities of character, including fair Play, consideration for others and co- operation, as well as to develop a sound body coordinated with a sound mind. The program is directed by the teachers in each of the schools, who in turn are helped by the director. ‘The work inegrades one, two and three is carried on under the imme- diate supervision of Miss Winifred Barrington. Her work is arranged under the direction of the director of recreation, who is personally in charge of the program in grades four, five and six. Play During Recess The program this year is based upon a supervised play period of 15 minutes per week, which is supple- mented in the daily recess periods by assistance from the teachers in charge of the particular groups. In grades one and two much at- tention is given to story plays, sing- ing games, stunts, folk dancing and games of low organization. In grades Commended work as well as tests.

Later on attention will be given to such games as newcomb, Voileyball, long-ball, schlag-ball and bat-ball. Toward the end of the year certain track and field events, Playground or diamondball, and oth- er activities will be taught. In addition to instruction in the rules of the various games, empha- sis in the upper grades also will be directed toward proper training methods which should be followed in future athletic activities.

Indoor soccer and volleyball are the first games. After nine count basketball is played; in the spring hit-pin baseball, long base, and girls’ indcor basketball are fa- vorites. Along with this program there goes. clogging and folk dancing, ~stunts and relays, and tumbling.

Maddock, vice president of the North Dakota Farmers’ Union, said the organization is not “seeking to advise or dictate” to the adminis- tration of Governor William Langer. ‘The statement was issued, Maddock uella|said, to set at rest “corridor gossip” that the Farmers’ Union is promoting Neola|the appointment of certain individ- vals, Maddock's statement said: “The Farmers’ Union organizatior is not sponsoring the political ambi- tions of any individual or set of indi- viduals and is not promoting nor sponsoring anybody's political ap- pointment at the hands of the Lange: administration, any gossip notwith- standing. Any attempt of newspapers or political bosses to make the Farm- ers’ Union a political organization will be bitterly resented. “Let it be understood that the Farmers’ Union organization is in- terested in the welfare of North Da- kota’s 170,000 farmers, facing bank- ruptcy in common with the 6,000,000]. farmers of the nation. “The Farmers’ Union is very much interested in the attitude of the farm ‘oan department of the Bank of North Dakota toward the delinquent home owners who find it impossible to pay interest and taxes with 25-cent wheat and two-cent hogs.. We declare tha: the foreclosure of the home of any honest, industrious family for delin- quent interest installments or delin- quent taxes is a calamity during this crisis. “The Farmers’ Union organization is also interested in some kind of leg- islation that will keep our small coun- try schools open and furnish farm children some hope of an education. “The Farmers’ Union as an organ- ization and as individuals has great confidence in the Langer administra- tion and it is our wish to cooperate with that administration in every way for the welfare of all of our people. ‘We are not seeking to advise or dic- tate to the Langer administration in any way but feel assured that when Mr. Langer is sufficently recovered from his illness to actively take the reigns of government, that whenever he is in need of the counsel and ad- ‘vice of the Farmers’ Union, it will be available to him at his call.

High School Offers Two Classes |c Each of Shorthand and Typewriting ‘The commercial department of Bismarck high school offers courses in shorthand I and II and typewrit- ing I and II, each course represent- ing one year’s work in the subject. Bookkeeping was discontinued this year for financial reasons, One hundred ninety-four students are enrolled in the department, which teaches the Gregg system of short- hand and typing. Twenty-seven type- writers are in use every period of the day. Each student enrolled in the typewriting classes pays a $5 fee. Many students wish to learn to type for their own personal use, while many others expect to enter the busi- ness world. In first-year typing a student is expected to acquire command of the keyboard with type letters, telegrams, manuscripts, ‘bills, and various other forms of sec- retarial work.

N. D. SCHOOL HEADS Swain Says Reduction in Num- ber ‘Cannot Be Sound Public Policy’ A system of fewer educational in- stitutions “cannot be a sound pub- lic policy,” President ©. C. Swain of the Mayville teachers college warn- ed the board of administration in his biennial report. ‘It is sometimes argued,” he said, ‘that we have too many institutions and in the interest of economy some should be eliminated. After consider- ing all sides to this problem, one must conclude that this is a false assumption. Fewer institutions will mean larger institutions and more expenses.” His report gave figures showing an aed in attendance in 1932 over The Ellendale state normal school has shown consistent growth during the last biennium, President R. M. Black reported. “The appreciation of an education is growing as shown by an increasing tendency and willingness of students to be self-supporting,” he said. He called attention to need of re- Pairs on some buildings, adding that “dt is doubtful policy to let the build- ings go too long when repairs are needed.” E. F. Riley, president of the state school of science at Wahpeton, re- Ported that many courses have been eliminated in the last two years in the interest of economy. He said every instructor is carrying a full- time teaching load with the classes having a maximum of students for instruction, Say Mandan School Is Badly Crowded Crowded conditions of the state training ered at serge! made it necessary grant early paroles to some of the boys and girls to relieve the situation, Superintendent W. F. McClelland says in his biennial re- Port to the board of administration. Two hundred seventy-six boys and girls were committed to the school in the two-year period ending June 30, 1932, he said. He said the rule of the school is that no parole is granted until the student has been there at least a year and a half. “Owing to crowded conditions we have had to break this rule more than once by letting a boy or girl with an exceptional record go under close supervision,” he reported. Ages of students admitted to the school in the last biennium showed the majority ranging from 13 to 20 and the major offenses as burglary in the third degree, grand larceny, ,| delinquency and incorrigibility. -l Fugitive Recaptured After 14 AVERS DEPRESSION "Tae To Ask Colorado Pardon PRODUCING RISE IN DBPAULTS OF FUNDS Some Public Officials Unable to Withstand Temptation, Tunell Reports PILE 1992 REPORTS) ras. one mamacoms public officials show a marked in- crease in periods of depression, F. E. Tunell, manager of the state bond- ing department, reports to Commis- stoner of Insurance S. A. Olsness. ‘The report has been turned over to the legislature. The trend of financial conditions is reflected in the amount of claims against the fund, he said. “Defaults have been most numer- ous since 1929, the period of financial depression.” “Prior to the year 1920,” he said, e financial condition of the state and its subdivisions was very favor- able. Losses resulting from wrongful acts of public officials were few and bank failures were practically un- heard of. “During the period following, banks began to fail in rapid succession, re- sulting in claims amount to enor- mous sums on account of public funds tied up in closed banks. “Hard times naturally followed bank failures and deflation of values and temptation to use the public funds presented itself to the thousands of treasurers or custodians over the state, resulting in numerous claims against the department on account of defaults and embezzlements.” ‘Tunell said that in 1919 and 1920 “when the period of deflation had not yet taken its grip upon the na- tion” there were only three claims filed on account of defaults. These totaled $16,200. There were no claims then on account of bank failures. For the years from 1921 until 1926 when the greatest number of banks failed, he said, “an enormous amount of claims” were filed. In this period there were 45 claims’ totaling $125,000 on account of de- faults and 43 claims totaling $657 000 because of bank failures. In the years from 1926 to 1929, he said conditions became favorable again and the number of claims was 12, totaling $44,000 on account of dé- faults and nine claims totaling $21,- 000 on account of bank failures. From 1929 until 1932, Tunell said, Cleveland, Jan. 7.—(?)—Betray- ed by @ woman he befriended, a Prosperous and respected Cleve- land business man, who for 1¢ years has been a fugitive from a Colorado prison, will return there next week and ask for a pardon. The fugitive, known in Cleve- land as Harry Stanley, manager of a music publishing company, said he was Lohr to three rs’ imprisonment Colorado in 1917 on an auto theft charge, under the name of Glenn Smee- man. After serving five months he es- caped from a trusty gang and rode a freight train to Cleveland. Changing his name, he entered business here. He married, and is now the father of a three-months-old child. He is building a $25,000 home in @ fashionable suburb and drives an expensive automobile.

She was the woman, the fugi- tive said, for whom he went to prison rather than expose her. He ‘was 18 years old, he said, when he met her in Denver. “One night she and I and two other men went for an automobile ride and were arrested. The car was stolen, but I did not know it, Anyway, I went to prison while she went scot free,” he said. Three months ago, Stanley said, he met the woman accidentally on the street in Detroit and she de- manded $25, he said. “I gave it to her and when I refused to give her more, she told me she could my capture. Stanley was free on $1,000 bond Saturday and planned to return to Colorado, unguarded. Minor Squawks Are Aired by Senators A squeaking swivel chair, a short-legged desk, and a loose leaf folder came in for the official at- tention of the senate Friday. Senator G. M. Indegaard of Foster and Eddy counties started it, by calling to the attention of Lieut. Governor Ole H. Olson that the Journal of the day's proceed- ings didn’t fit properly in his fol- der. “There ought to be a way to pointing the staples of the folder in which the Journals are inserted daily.
