Mothercraft Should Be Studied by

IS NOT MERELY THE MOTHER OF THE POOR SECTIONS WHO

COLLEGE WOMAN, THE WOMAN OF WEALTH AND POSITION, WHO
OUGHT TO STUDY MOTHERCRAFT. NEITHER INSTINCT NOR GEN

BABY'S HEALTH JUST AS SHE NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO KEEP
HER8ELF WELL AND STRONG.
They are AHEAD OF US IN ENGLAND. They have a number
of schools there where refined and intelligent young women may learn
how to feed and clothc and train the babies.
The life chances of the baby whose mother nurses it compared wjith
the bottle fed baby are TEN TO ONE. I cannot imagine any social
or professibnal duty of sufficient importance to interfere with a motfifer
nursing her baby. Parenthood is a responsibility, and if it be under
taken at all it should not be half heartedly. Mother instinct, whicll
mother love, impels most mothers to DEVOTE THEMSELVES

FLOODS AND LANDSLIDES CAUSED'BY EXCESSIVE CUT
TING OF TIMBER. We shall avoid that in the west because we have
established national forests in time, and the southern Appalachian com
mission is now at work selecting land for the purposes of forestration to
avoid this very thing.
An example of exactly of the opposite kind is found, however, in the
Landes, a district in the south of France, where for a hundred years mil
lions of acres of WORTHLESS SAND COVERED LAND HAS
BEEN STOCKED WITH SEA PINE AND CONVERTED INTO
VALUABLE FORESTS.
Our Appalachian commission is taking up at a much p«Tlfor stage the
same problem that cost France so dear in the Alps. Fortunately nothing
like the same amount of damage has yet been done.

IN HORTHDAKOTA
News of the Week From Vari
ous nuts of the State.
SILVER JUBILEE NEXT YEAR
Fargo Plana to Celebrate Twenty
fifth Anniversary of State
hood In July, 1914.
North Dakota's twenty-fifth anni
versary of statehod la to be appro
priately celebrated by Fargo next
year. It became a state in 1889. The
enabling act by congress was in Feb
ruary, the constitutional convention
assembled July 4, and the state was
actually admitted on proclamation by
President Harrison in November.
As neither February nor November
present the most suitable dates for
a monster celebration in this state,
It has been decided to hold the big
silver anniversary function in July
of 1914.
An attempt will be made to show
North Dakota's development from ag
ricultural, commercial, financial, civ
ic. social and religious standpoints.
For this purpose the albest speakers
of the state will be selected to brings
out their respective assignments,'
great care being exercised in the se-'
lection of men best fitted for the part
for which they are chosen.
It is planned to make the celebra
tion the largest of its kind ever at
tempted in the state or in Fargo and
to have thousands of visitors at
tracted by the excellence of the pro
gram and by cheap excursion rates,
which it la planned to run over every
mad into Fargo. It la planned to
have the affair either a two or three
days' meeting.
Speakers of national reputation
will be present and one of the stellar
features suggested is to have a repre
sentation of the old constitutional
convention, with the seats arranged
Just as they were twenty-five years
ago and those occupied by members
now deceased draped In mourning,
while others will, be occupied by the
survivors.
Many other details are to be work
ed out and a program announced aa
soon as it is possible to roughly out
line the work.
AVERAGE ONLY $339 PER YEAR
North Dakota Teachers Not as Well
Paid, as Many Others.
The average annual salary paid to
public school teachers In the United
States as a whole is $485. In one
state the average is only $200 per
year. The wages received by school
teachers constitute a measure of two
things: Firat, the Quality of ability
of the teacher second, the value the
community puts upon the teacher's
services. The fact that teachers'
wages are lower than those paid for
almost any other sort of service
means that as a nation we are neither
asking for nor getting a high grade
of service and as a nation we place
A low valuation on the teacher's
work.
Statistics on file at the office of the
North Dakota Development league
tress bureau at Grand Forks show
that we stand thirty-second in the
matter of the number of school teach
ers employed. There are teaching in
of this state 7,387
a total
of $2,501,102 annually. This is an

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.
to Make a Pool For the Water
Qarden.
Nowadays there are many forma of
gardening, but perhaps few are more
interesting than the water garden.
Host persona have an Idea that a wa
ter garden is only possible where there
is a large amount of room. This is
quite a wrong notion. There must be
few gardens in which It Is not possible
to spare a piece of ground about nine
feet square, and this la all that la nec
essary.
The' situation Is a matter of some
importance. In a general way odd
corners are to be avoided, and the
stnore
open the position the better.
1
A very good formation for the pool
•would be that of a rough circle. Six
feet Is a suitable measurement for the
diameter of the pond, which should be
dug out In the form of a rough basin.
The greatest depth must be In the cen
ter of the pool, and the sides should
sink fairly abruptly. In a pool of this
slse It la desirable to have as much
deep water as possible, so that there
will be good accommodation for water
lilies. The deepest part of the pool
Should not be less than two feet six
Inches and might be a little more.
After the digging out of the basin
one of the first steps Is to make sure
that the soil Is pressed down very
firmly in the bottom.
The question of lining the basin now
arises. Of course there Is no doubt
that the Ideal way Is to spread over
the whole of the floor a layer of con
crete. This substance Is formed by
mixing moderate sized stones with ce
tment, and the making of It is not be
yond the average amateur. The con
crete la spread over the bottom of the
basin and should not be less than three
inches in thickness.
