W. Cathro of Bottineau Is Chosen by Manager of Insti- tution to Be Director General of State Enterprise W. CATHRO of Bot- tineau, N. D., has been chosen by Manager J. R. Waters to be director general of the Bank of North Dakota, it has been announced at Bismarck. Mr. Cathro is one of the best known of North Dakota bankers. Besides his position as director general, Mr. Cathro will be in charge of the credit department. As director general he will have general supervision over all the other departments of the bank. Mr. Waters now is engaged in select- ing other members of his staff. Mr. Cathro has been cashier of the First National bank of Bottineau for 26 years. He was deputy state super- intendent of education during the first two administrations after statehood, and had a leading hand in organiz- ing the state’s first educational sys- tem. The first superintendent died after a few months in office, and Mr. Cathro drew the bills which estab- lished North Dakota’s first uniform educational system and carried them out during the first two terms he was in office. Mr. Cathro also was county superintendent of schools in Bottineau for several terms. After he left the office of deputy superintendent of schools, Mr. Cathro went to Bottineau and there became engaged in the banking business, which he has followed ever since. When the North Dakota Bankers’ as- sociation was formed, Mr. Cathro was made its first president. Mr. Cathro was an enthusiastic be- liever in the plans for the new state bank. He is now at Bismarck and is aiding Mr. Waters in planning the or- ganization system and policy of the state institution. Long before the organization of the Nonpartisan league, Mr. Cathro rec- ognized some of the injustice of the prevailing system to farmers in the marketing of their crops. He was a member of a committee of three bank- ers which brought in a report to a bankers’ convention pointing out the abuses which later led the farmers of the state to organize and adopt the program of political and economic re- forms which was put into law by the farmers’ legislature which recently adjourned. Education for Wage Slavery Wisconsin School Head Tells How Interests Swallowed Vocation Training System to Provide Common Lahbor HAT “business efficiency” in the public schools means to some business men is vividly shown in Wisconsin. Not the worst radical could go beyond the indictment of the control of the state education system by manufac- turers by C. D. Cary, superintendent of education in Wisconsin, speaking at a meeting of the Missouri Slope Educational convention at Mandan, N. D. . “The manufacturers of Wiscon- sin are exploiting school boys and are educating them to become wage slaves.” This was the statement, not of a radical or a Socialist, but of the su- perintendent of the school system of Wisconsin. Mr. Cary has held the of- fice for a number of years. He was last elected on the same ticket as Gov- ernor Emmanuel Philipp, a reaction- ary of reactionaries. 5 “I don’t mince my words when I talk of these things,” Mr. Cary said. “The manner in which manufacturing interests have got control of the vo- cational and continuation schools of our country is most undemocratic and un-American. : “It is the same old system of Prus- sian efficiency all over again. The at- tempt to divide the children into two classes, one of laborers and the other of ‘highbrows,” is being successfully carried out. “Four years ago the manufacturers stole control of the vocational and continuation schools. Since then they have been spreading propaganda among the school boys of the laboring class in the common schools and en- ticing them to quit their education at the legal age of 14 years, and to en- ter a continuation school where they are training them to run machines, so that the manufacturers can get a steady supply of common laborers.” According to ‘Mr. Cary, the manu- facturing interests were successful in getting the legislature to remove the control of the vocational and continu- ation schools from under his super- vision by making promises to union labor and to the farmers that their governor would appoint three union men and three farmers to serve on a ' board of control of these/two institu- ‘ e T P e e e A eSS “press are certainly fine, PAGE TWELVE tions, together with three manufac- turers. When the appointments were made, union labor and the farmers found themselves out in the cold and the business interests in complete con- trol of these two important measures of Wisconsin’s education system. Mr. Cary said the board of control is spending $150,000 a year in only 385 cities and is neglecting entirely the children of the small towns and rural districts who have been forced to quit school at an early age. R S R D R ~ CITIZENS AS OWN ASSESSORS Grover, Col. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: 3 Why the assessor when every adult can be induced to assess himself more intelligently, justly and fairly than any assessor can? Every owner of real estate will sell if he can get his price. The lowest price he will ac- cept is his valuation and no basis of valuation is more just than an owner’s idea of the sum that would induce him to part with his land title. This sum would be announced publicly, and would be fixed as the valuation basis. It would hold until the owner of the property saw fit to alter it. T: W. GRAHAM.
