FARGO, N. D. Missionary to Sioux Indians Discusses What He : Thinks Is Attempt to Corner Education : i : ISMARCK, Jan. 27.—“There is no . : : A. J. O’S H EA B doubt but that there is a well [@8 3 planned movement of the big in- 1 ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER terests .centered in New York, in an 2 3 adroit and subtle way to make of the < FARGO, NORTH DAKOTA agricultural colleges mere training sta- 1 . Q tions for farm peasants, and to have 1 ! the education in the country schools of ] k A . the same nature; that the situation in 1 North Dakota relative ‘to the Agricul- tural college is a part of this move- ment. The idea is to completely con- trol eduvcation, ostensibly through the federal government, but really through the big interests in New York, and eventually to control the text books and what they -shall contain. The tendency of the movement is to edu- cate a few people who shall belong to the ‘high brow’ class.” 2 These are the words of A. McG. Beede, graduate of several institutions of higher learning and for 16 years mis- sionary to the Indians in what is now Sioux county. who is at the legislature watching tha development of progres- sive measures. Dr. Beede is a personal friend of members of the preésent board of regents and declared he has nothing but the frierdliest feeling for them, but says the effect of their program, includ- ing the taking away of certain courses from the Agricultural college and con- tentrating them at the TUniversity would be to reduce the - Agricultural college in rank and influence, and limit the kind of education that would be available to the:sons and daughters of farmers. “SURVEYS” ARE USED BY BIG BUSINESS Electro Painless Dntist High Class Dental Work Done at a Big Saving Examination Free—Call and See Us Offices: -Fargo, N.

Leader “Classified Ads” Bring Results “ Mention Leader when writing advertisers TWENTY several different states, including that recently finished for North Dakota, are in line with a far reaching policy of big business working through the fed- eral government, to influence educa- tion at the fountain head and curtail the study on the part of the farmers and laboring people of the live social and political questions which have come to the front in recent years. ‘While he has spent the past 16 years as a missionary to the Indians, Dr. Beede is not a self made man in the sense that he has had no schooling. He is a graduate of Bates college, Lewis- " ton, Maine, was later a post graduate student at the university of Chicago. and the university of Berlin, in Ger- many, and was still later granted the degree of doctor of philosophy by the ‘Wesleyan university of Ohio. For five years he was dean and professor of Greek . of Redfield college, Redfield, South Dakota. He is not a man unac- quainted with educational matters, nor prejudiced with a one-sided view. He developed his.thought a little further saying: 5 ~ “The idea is to' completely control education, ostensibly through the fed- eral government, but really through the big interests. That unquestionably to my mind -is what a certain cabinet - member meant when' he said in a re- cent address in Now York, as reported, that ‘we must hayve unification of in- dustrial, educdtional and spiritual in- terests in this country’. TO CONTROLL ALL THROUGH FINANCE. “By industrial forces he meant labbr and industry as at present controlled by the big interests; by educational forces he meant the schooling of the country to be controlled by the same interests, and by spiritual forces he referred to the so-called federation of ] (Protestant churches) which of late has beén becoming so strongly centralized in New York. This federation is with the \jntent of con- trolling the utterances of ministers, at least so far as to prevent their saying anything that might be a stumbling block to the control of government by the big interests. 7 “This plan has been concerted with extreme ability and adroitness so that industrial, educational and spiritual forces shall ultimately be controlled through -finance. I have studied the report of the board of regents, and while it is a fine document and has been adroitly drawn, it is along these lines.” kS A SUGGESTION : Northwood, N. D. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I think it would be a good idea for our legislature at the -earliest opportunity to pass a resolution urging government ownership of railroads, copies of such resolution to be sent to the president and our congressmen, also to the legisla- tures now in session in other states. 4 A. J. HUSO. O ABOUT HIGH INTEREST 27 Regent, N. D., Jan. 18, Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I think the legal rate of interest should be lowered from 10 to 7 per cent, The farmers west of the Missouri river have been paying this killing rate of - 12. per cent interest, up to last year, when it was lowered to 10 per cent, for the past_fifteen years or longer. , - I would like to have readers of the Leader express their ideas as to the high rate of interest we farmers are paying, in the columns of the Leader.
