Ihe Children.
When the lessons and tasks are all
ended
And the school for the day Is dis
missed,
And the little, ones gather around me
To, hid me •. "good night," and be
kissed
Ot the little white arms that encircle
My neck in a tender embrace
O, the smiles that are halos of Heav
en
Shedding the sunshine of love on
my face.
And when they are gone I sit dream
ing
Of my childhood, too lovely to last
Of love that my heart will remember
When it wakes to' the pulse of the
past.
Bre the world and its wickedness
made me
A partner of sorrow and sin.
When the glory of God was about me
And the glory of gladness within.
O, my heart grows weak as a wom
an's.
And, the fountains of feeling will
flow.
When I think of the paths, steep and
stony
Where the feet of the dear ones
must go
Of the mountains of sin hanging o'er
them,
Of the tempests of fate blowing
wild:
O, there is nothing on earth half so
holy
As the innocent heart of a child.
They are idols of hearts and of house
holds.
They are angels of God in disguise
His sunlight still sleeps in their tress
es.
His glory still gleams in their eyes.
O, those truants from home and from
Heaven,
They have made me manly and mild
And I know now how Jesus could
liken
The kingdom of God to a child.
1 ask not a life for the dear ones.
All radiant, as others have done.
But that life may have just enough
shadow
To temper the glare of the sun.
I would pray God to guard them from
evil
But my prayers would bound baek
to myself
Ah, a seraph may pray for a sin
ner,
But a sinner must pray for hlmeslf.
The twig is so easily bended,
I have banished the rule and the
rod
I have taught them the goodness of
knowledge.
They have taught me the wisdom of
God.
My heart Is a dungeon of darkness,
Where I shut them from breaking
a rule.
My frown is sufficient correction
My love is the law of the school.
I shall leave the old house in the
Autumn
To traverse its threshold no more.
Ah. how I shall sigh for the dear ones
That mustered each morn at the
door!
I shall miss the "good nights" and
the kisses
And the gush of their innocent
glee,
The group on the green and the
flowers
That are brought every morning to
me.
I shall miss them at morn and at eve.
Their song In the school and the
street
I shall miBS the low hum of their
voices
And the tramp of their delicate
feet.
When the lessons and tasks are all
ended.
And Death says "the school is dis
missed,"
May the little ones gather around me,
To bid me "good night" and be
kissed.
—Charles Dickens.

much undecided what tack to take
and nothing developed until he began
to talk about 'Illegal action' and what
the federal laws required In the or
ganization of agricultural colleges
and experiment stations. He first
sent a long tirade to Governor Hanna,
then followed a long lWt of questions
and arguments to the attorney gener
al and-fn/ft-feUr dft^rybWowed tne ar
ticles in the Frairi' anil Co-operators
Herald, which brought forth such a
storm of press articles all over the
state about the 'removal "of Worst,
Ladd and Bolle.v,' "big business,' and
othefc muckraking inuendoes.
"When questioned, among others,
Mr. Worst declared that, he 'was
shocked,' 'would give his right arm
to know where Buch articles came
from,' and that he had talked to no
one. At the September meeting of
the trustees a committee was appoint
ed to 'investigate the source, object
and animus' of these newspaper arti
cles this committee was three orig
inally, but later increased to six.
Traced to Worst.
"It developed at. the inquiry that
Mr. Worst .in the committee's opinion,
was the one who had the records
copied that he had at least seven dup
licate copies made, and that he scat
tered these copies broadcast among
newspapers and politicians, together
with his personally distorted Interpre
tations of the objects of the board, and
the trustees believed that he was the
one, and no one else, who inspired all
the newspaper articles, and as evi
dence of that the report of the inves
tigating committee follows:
Report of Committee.
'Your committee appointed during
the September board meeting to In
vestigate the source, object and ani
mus of recent newspaper attacks up
on the management of the agricultur
al college, beg leave to report as fol
lows:
'That Mr. Hotlister, Mr. Nugent
and Mr. 8tern were called In as joint
members of the investigation.
That said committee of six made
an earnest effort to investigate fully
the source, object and animus of the
newspaper artcles which appeared
during August and September, 1914,
and find,
"'First, that the source of all In
formation and Instigation for news
paper articles were traced directly and
indirectly to the president, J. H.
Worst of the North Dakota agricul
tural college.
'Second, that the apparent object
of such articles was to discredit the
board and Thos. Cooper, discourage
the Better Farming movement in
North Dakota and furnish material for
political purposes In the fall campaign.
'Third, the animus was caused by
political defeat, fear of removal from
the presidency and jealousy for the
decided and wide spread success and
approval of the Better Farming work
under the direction of Thos. Cooper.

«Clai W. Kelly,

Report Adopted.
"This report, slightly amended, was
unanimously adopted at the recent
board meeting this month.
"However, after passing this reso
lution. in an earnest endeavor to do
no injustice to Mr. Worst, recognis
ing that he had spent the best part of
his life in the service of the state, the
board unanimously adopted the fol
lowing resolution:
Worst Retired.
." 'Resolved, that there be and is
hereby created, the office of president
emeritus, whose duty it shall be to de
liver such public addresses at the ex
pense of this institution as may be
authorised by the president of this
.college but subject.io the approval of
this board that J. H. Worst be, and
Is hereby elected to the office of pres
ident emeritus at a salary of 1260 per
month, beginning Dec. 1, 191 that

hereby elected president,of the North
Tafcota agricultural college,, and- gov
ernment, experiment station.: (vice J.

to take effect immediately that It is
hereby declared that' the president
shall be the chief executive officer of
.this Institution In charge of three cor
related departments, each under a dl-
1
i,
rector, namely: (1) Education, (2)
experiment station, (3) extension, but
for the present, the president shall be
director of education and the direc
tor of the experiment station shall
also be director of extension as here
tofore established, but the director of
the station and extension shall here
after report to the president instead of
to this board.'
Professor Ladd Called In.
"While the resolution was under
discussion Professor Ladd was called
in and when assured that the board
meant business, and at the very ear
nest request of all the trustees, accept
ed the position, his acceptance was
made a matter of record, and Profes
sor Ladd received the congratulations
and best wishes and promise of sup
port of every individual member of
the board and they were all present.
"However, it was agreed with' Pro
fessor Ladd that the entire proceed
ings would be kept from the public
until Mr. Worst returned from Wash
ington to give him the opportunity of
llling his resignation, and if he chose,
his recommendation of what had been
done this to avoid any undue excite
ment or more newspaper foolishness,
whereupon the board adjourned feel
ing that Anally another real advance
had been made.
Meet to Rescind.

trustees asked the chairman of the
board to call a special meeting for
Saturday, the 14 th, which was done,
leaving the hour open until it should
be known what time all the board
would be in the city. One member
could not be reached until Saturday
morning and could only get to Fargo
about 3 p. m., therefore at 10:20 a. m.
the chairman telephoned to the busi
ness place of one member to advise
him the hour of meeting but received
the raswer that he was 'at the col
lege' on calling the college it was
learned that four members of the
board had gone to the secretary's of
fice at 10 a. m. Saturday, the 14th, had
organized and passed a resolution re
scinding the vote adopting the com
mittee report and also the resolution
electing Professor Ladd president, and
that the meeting was over. Tt had
been agreed by all that a special
meeting would be called on Tuesday,
the 24th, when both Mr. Worst and
Professor Ladd would be 'back from
Washington, but at that meeting the
four trustees who, at. the command
of some powerful interest, changed
their minds over night, were conspicu
ous by their absence, preventing a
quorum. At this meeting the resig
nation of Mr. Worst was plainly but
informally suggested, and he agreed
to give his answer on Friday, (today).
At today's meeting at which six
members were present Mr. Worst de
clined to resign, so that the A. C. now
has two presidents, and one presi
dent emeritus."
"We have today sent our resigna
tions to the governor and we are
through trying to achieve results
against disruption and indecision.
The administrators at Bismarck can
undoubtedly find plenty of trustees
who will do things more to its lik
ing.

President Worst SUent.
President Worst declined to make
any statement, saying that the action
taken was during his absence on his
recent trip to Washington, and while
he may have something to say at a
later date he did not care to discuss
the matter now. It is understood that
Mr. Worst was willing to resign at
the end of his 20 years of service,
which will be concluded next June.
Cooper Wouldn't Speak.
Thomas Cooper, director of the ex
periment station would not discuss
the matter at all. He recently re
marked to the Courier-News that he
does not enjoy being made a political
issue.
It is supposed In Fargo that this
means the resignation of Mr. Cooper
sooner or later, and a general shake
up in the experiment station organ
ization. The action of the trustees in
dividing the work of the college into
three departments was in accord with
the recommendation of the faculty
presented some time ago.
Stern Explains Action.
When asked why he had rescinded
the action making Professor Ladd
president of the agricultural college,
Alex Stern stated that upon reconsid
eration. he had realised with others
that it was cutting off by six months
President Worst from his 20 years of
service and any benefit from the Car
negie Foundation. The motion be
came effective at once, if it had not
been rescinded.
"The motion," he said, "was intro­

duced by Kelley. The books show
that I seconded the motion, but I
don't think I did. Kelley said that
President Worst was willing a.nd we
voted on the strength of that. We did
call in Professor Ladd and congratu
lated him on his election. Professor
Ladd thought we had been hasty and
that we ought to have waited until
President Worst got back."
"Just Hadn't Thought."
When asked why they had not
considered the aspect of the case
which caused them to rescind, at the
time of the action, Mr. Stern said he
didn't know—they just hadn't
thought. Afterwards they thought
the new board ought to have a voice
in the matter and had asked Mr.
Nugent to call a meeting of the board.
He did so, but the four members,
Alex Stern, Peter Elliott, Eugene
Welgel and Fred Jensen, were the
only ones present.
"The record of the motion making
Professor Ladd president Is on the
books the motion rescinding the mo
tion Is on the books, and Professor
Ladd was informed," said Mr. Stern.
Don't Know What's Behind It.
"What their politics is, I don't
know," remarked Mr. Stern, "but
there's something back of it, I know.
What it is I don't know. Last spring
I was the new member of the board,
and I followed what Mr. Holllster and
Mr. Nugent said about making the
experiment station independent. Now
I know that that was not right no
Institution can get along with two
heads.
"Whether it Is big business or what
that's after President Worst's scalp,
I don't know. They've been after it
long since his going into politics. 1
don't think running the institution
more economically and within the
available appropriation has anything
to do with it. Governor Hanna says
It hasn't, and that he thinks it will
all straighten out all right. Other
things have straightened out, like the
trouble over the Cowan trial, when
Stranahan and I voted to sustain the
Judge.
"I hope that the new board will
choose Ladd he's my choice for pres
ident and I think he's the one for the
place .What the new board will think
or do I'm not prepared to say.'.'
Professor Ladd in Doubt.
"Well, I am sure I don't know,"
said Professor F. E. Ladd when ask
ed whether or not he was president
of the agricultural college. "At a
meeting held by the members of the
board a week ago last Tuesday, I was
called in and told I was the unani
mous choice of the board for the
presidency and that I had been elect
ed to this office, my term to begin
immediately.
"I was taken by surprise, as I had
had no intention that I was slated
for the position and I was not, nor
had I ever been, a candidate for the
place. However, after being assured
that the board was In earnest in the
matter, I told the members that 1
would accept and that I would en
deavor to fill the responsible position
to the best of my ability. I was then
congratulated by all the members of
the board and I took it for granted
that It meant business.
"However, as Mr. Worst was out of
the city and state at the time. I urg
ed that the board withhold the an
nouncement of the action taken until
he had returned to the city and had
been given an opportunity to resign.
This it was decided to do. The action
of the board was spread upon the
minutes of the meeting, I am told.

"The following Friday I left for
Washington, I. C. While at the capi
tal I received a telegram from Sec
retary Yoder of the board notifying
me that it had held a meeting and
rescinded its action in electing me
president. I have not the slightest
Idea, as to the reasons for this action
on the part of some members of the
board."
When asked if he considered Mr.
Worst as still the president of the In
stitution and his superior officer, Mr.
Ladd answered: "I certainly do. I
consider him the head of the school
and I am still taking orders from
him.' Further Mr. Ladd refused to
be interviewed, not wishing to ex
press any opinion as to the cause pf
the present conditions at the school,
nor would be venture a prediction as
to the final outcome.
