D. Teachers Favor Normal School Resolutions Passed by Committee at the Convention of the Northwestern Educational Association Held Here The following resolutions are re spectfully submitted. Resolved that we indorse the work of the committee of seven that we feel it a privilege to urge a careful detailed consideration of their report, and that we recommend it to be fully discussed at the next session of the Northwestern Educational association. Be It further resolved that we heartily endorse the emphasis in the report placed on the need of close attention to the matter of morals. It is resolved that this association endorses the plan suggested report of the committee of seven, that students of high schools who have completed courses to be outlined by the superintendent of public instructions be granted limited certificates qualifying them to teach in rural schools.

Since it is generally admitted that the improvement of rural schools 1s our most urgent need at this time and since it seems impossible to meet these needs in the ordinary district school, we most emphatically urge consideration. Whereas the high schools of the states have been benefited by the standardizing of state aid and we believe that the rural schools where 75 per cent of our children are educated ought to have a standard stimulated by a similar state grant. Be it further resolved that we memoralize the state legislature to this effect and that a copy of this resolu tion be placed before every member. Resolved that we favor the establishment of the normal school for the northwestern part of the state at Mi. not.

Resolved that we give a note of thanks to Dr. Rudiger, Pres. Hillyer, Prof. Hollis, Rev. Batten, Prof.

Berg. man, Prof. Randlitt, for their inspiring addresses. Resolved that the officers of the association be commenced for the special efforts put forth to make the association a success in epite of the unfavorable weather. C.

Minot Attorneys Back Judge Fisk We, the undersigned attorneys and members of the Ward County bar, having noticed an attempt to discredit Hon. Charles J.

E. Leighton. Interesting Lien Case A case of considerable interest to contractors and builders, came before Judge Burr, who sat in chambers in Judge Goss' court this week. The case at bar was that of the Rogers Lumber vs. Peter Trystad a Velva contractor, and G.

O. Frank and J. H. Tompkins. Trystad built a large three story.

block for the latter two named gentlemen on Main street and since that time has become financially involved The point which Judge Burr will have to decide is whether the Rogers Lumber lien should have been filed against the building as a whole, or against the interests of each of the owners. The case will no doubt be carried to the supreme court and the decision of that body will be watched with interest. FOR COUNTY JUDGE.
