Does it mean anytlling different from attending school in European countries? It means something ,radically different. The sehool sy terns of most European countries have been uJaintained to inculcate the prevailing national ideal. In this country the school system has been the product 0.£ local communities and has only permitted such state or national relationships as do not infringe upon local support and local control. The schools of America are the product of democracy. They are founded upon the doctrine of equal opportunity; they have encouraged the development of the individual; they have sought to discover his special aptitudes and capacities. They have not attempted to fit him for any highly specialized form of state service, but on the other hand, they have attempted to instruct him in those things which would be of service to him as a citizen and which would lay the basis ior successful practice in every walk of life. Our school system has been characterized by the conception that it was training the c11ildren of this country for the great adventure, the adventure 0.£ life, and that all those things which would serve to make life better, more wholesome, the indi\'dual genuinely happier, and more efficient, should be included in the program of instruction. Every school, the university, the school of agriculture, the high school, the elementary school is maintained with this fundamental purpose in mind. Democracy fosters and encourages education and in turn has a right to expect that the graduates of its schools will feel a peculiar obligation to maintain and to strengthen tIle institutions of democracy. L. D. COFFMAN, P1'esident of the University of Minnesota. Page Eighteen ,I Q1)ur NrUt ~uprriutrullrut USTIN A. DOWELL was born at Gaynor, Missouri, where he lived for three years, and then moved to Bedford, Iowa with his parents, where they still reside. Mr. Dowell worked his way through Iowa State College at Ames, graduating in 1915 witJll the degree of Bachelor of Science. He was prominent in school activities, being a member of the college livestock judging teams, a coveted honor, and a member of the Alpha Zeta Alpha, Phi Kappa Phi, and Delta Tau Delta, honorary and academic fraternities. For two years he taught animal husbandry in the Short Courses at Ames. From 1918 to 1922, he was head of the Department of Animal Husbandry, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada. Here he developed new metllOds in breeding and feeding livestock, thus gaining the confidence of farmers and livestock men. Because of [lis good work, :Mr. Dowell was selected by the Canadian Minister of Agriculture to study livestock conditions in the British Isles. In August 1922, he resigned to join the Extension Division of the University of Minnesota. While here he earned the degree of Master of Science during his spare time. He originated tJhe Minnesota Carload Beef Contest, the first 0.£ its kind in the United States, and which has attracted nationar interest in livestock circles. ttL Mr. Dowell is a man of great executive ability and of sound judgment. He is thorough in his work, broadminded, a clear thinker and he respects the views of others. He has outstanding qualities of leadership and character, and is in sympathy with the pioneer of the land, all of which gives one a feeling of confidence in him. Page Twenty AGGIE ~ .1 jfacultp A. H.

The farmer must be a mechanic, scientist, laborer, and business man. There are at lea t three types of activity in farming. such as crop production, farm management, and repair and construction work. L'nder this last cla sification are included such jobs as tool sharpening, building repair, rope splicing, belt lacing, blacksmithing, soldering, painting, and work in drainage and concrete. A farmer mu t also understand gas engines, tractors, and othel' farm equipment. Our engineering courses such as Farm 1echanics, Farm :Motors, Carpentry, Blacksmithing, and Farm Drawing, aim to leach the young men of the Red River Valley these fundamental principals of farm operation.

These courses provide a foundation for several lines of work as well as .for home-making". Girls with Home Economics tl:aining are given a preference in hospitals as Home Nursing, Physiology, and Public Health are included in the curriculum. The field of Home Economics is growing rapidly, and since good homes and healthy families are requirements for happiness and prosperity, Home Economics cannot be too greatly stressed. lJage Twenty-four 1I1acultp ELMER UGGEN, Metropolitan Conserv. of Music, Mpls.

Subject: Piano. jMusic at the Northwest School is important not only for its aesthetic value but because of the natural and spontaneous enthusiasm among the students themselves. There is opportunity .for natural talent to display itself in band, orchestra, chorus, and glee clubs, and individually in piano, violin, or voice. At many schools music has been raised to such a standard that it is considered as great honor to be a member of the school chorus as it is to be a member of the football team. The Northwest School will soon be one of these if lhe interest and enthusiasm for music continue~ to grow as it has in the past. Page Twenty-six jfacultp H. A. PFLUGHOEFl', B.S., Univ. of Wisconsin.

CLASS HISTORY As members of the advanced class, after realizing that our education was not complete when we had finished the three-year course, we returned in the fall of '26 lmd again took up our duties as students at the X orthwest School. \Ve do not do them from a sense of duty, but because our duties at this school hal'e become a daily IJleasure. \~re enjoy going to classes because we hal'e become interested in our class"ork-thanks to our instructors. Some of our members ha\'e planned to go on to college. Those who cannot enter college realize tllat they are not through with their education when they get their diplomas, but know that they have a good foundation to enter the school of experience. The four years we hal'c spent here, ha I'C been the happiest of our lives. It has been the bridging over from childhood into womanhood and manhood, and our life's decisions hal'e been made during these four years, or will be shortly after their completion.

CLASS HISTORY With the aid of Mr. and Mrs. Pilkey as advisers, the class of '28 was re-organized with Chester Torgerson as president. The Junior Class takes an important part in all school activities such as athletics, music, and literary societies. One of our J unio·rs, Teddy Carlson, is the president of the Y. M. C. A. This year our class had more members represented in Home Project work than any other class. Elida Erickson won the Silver TropI]y. Others who won honorf. were Esther Viker for the Sewing Project, Teddy Carlson Jar the Crop Project ,and Harold Norseth for the Tractor Project. Two Juniors were on the grain judging team which represented the school this year. They are George Berggren and Arthur Sandal. Teddy Carlson was the alternate on this team. A large number of the Junior boys were on the football squad last fall and Harry Confer, George Berggren and Elmer vVardeberg received letters. The Class of '28 shows a great deal of interest in basketball also. The second team was largely made up of Juniors. Our class team lead in class games played, and will be good material for next year's first team. One of our greatest aims is to make out motto, "Keep Smiling," represent the spirit of the class.

CLASS HISTORY The Class of '29 was assembled Odobel' 4, 1926; the larg-est class in the history the Northwest School. As everything was ncw and strange to us, we greatly app)'eciated being assisted by the faculty and older students. Of course we could not hope to achie"e wonders as Freshmcn. but we have won our share of the laurels. 'Ve took first place in the interclass Stock Judging contest at the 'Vinter Shows, second place in the AnJlual Song Contest, and second place in the class football games. We arc reprcsented in all school activities; being on the Football Squad, in the Glee Club, in the Odette and in thc Debating and Basketball squads. 'Ve had our good times also; one we will long remember being' the All Freshmen Party, held early in the year, wherc we became acquainted with our class-mates. The second term our class was increased by the addition of sixty more students. Stanton Gandrud was chosen class prcsident, and Miss Bede and Mr. Milligan our class ad"isers, to whose able guidance we attribute our success. vVe have daily tried to live up to our ~Iotto, "Forward ever, Backward never." And as we go on through school we shall always try to keep that ideal before us.

Thc achievements made in football the past few years . are very commendable. The popularity of the game has increased rapidly and now ranks highest in the esteem of the entire school. T'he handicap of less practice than other teams, which have a longer school term, has been more than offset by the fighting spirit and hard work of the players. The success of the team has been largely due to the able coaching of D. H. LaVoi, with H1e assistance of D. A. Milligan. The teaching of tactical plays and the value of clean sportmanship by Mr. LaVoi, together with the splendid line coaching by Mr. Milligan resulted in the development of a team which ranks as one of the most success.ful teams in the Northwest; a team which has lost only one game a year for the last three years. Prospects for 1926 were not very good as many of the experienced players of the year before had completed their football career, only four letter-men returning. This made it necessary to develop new players from a squad of inexperienced men, who, by their hard work and determination, were soon moulded into another strong team.

It took place on Homecoming Day before a large crowd of enthusiastic Alumni, former students, and friends. This game was considered one of the hardest of the season, as Morris was represented by one of the best teams in years. Due to tlle wet condition of the field, considerable punting was done and straight football was adhered to. Crookston kicked off to l\Iorris who returned the ball 25 yards and then lost the ball on downs. Taking the ball on the 50-yard line, Crookston made several first downs but fumbled and Morris recovered. Morris punted to our 45-yard line and after several well executed plays, the ball was in our possession on the Morris 16-yard line. On the next play vVidseth carried it over the goal line for our first touchdown. During the second quarter both teams played safe by punting, although the ball was in Morris' territory most of the time. The score at the end 0'£ the first half was (l to 0 in our favor. Morris kicked off and we returned to the 50-yard line where we were forced to plmt. The ~rorris safety fumbled and Ostlie recovered, giving us tIle ball on the ~10rris 30-yard line. It took only a few line plays through the l\Iorris left tackle and Widseth went over for our second touchdown. Skatvold kicked goal, and the score was 13 to O. During the third quarter the l\Iorris goal was threatened twice. Once the ball was on the 2-yard line but we were penalized. The game was well played by both teams, Morris being outclassed and only able to make two first downs to our thirteen.

Having won most of their games and with exper·ienced players back) they were confident of vietory. The Aggies scored first after a drive down the field) making consistent gains through the line and around the ends. The Hillsboro team made many long gains by the aerial route) but nevcr threatened the Aggie goal. The score at the end of thc first half was 6 to 0 in our favor. Hillsboro) receiving the ball at the beginIJing of the second llalf) made a marcll down the field by many passes and end runs) which netted them a touchdown.

On the next play) the ball was sho,-ed across the line and Skatvold place-kicked for the extra point. The next Aggie score came when 'Vidseth went over for our third touchdown) a·fter the ball had been carried from the center of the field by end runs and off tackle rushes by Skatvold, Stenborg) and vYidseth.

It was a hard fought game, as the teams were evenly matched in weight. The game started with the Aggies kicking off. Thief River received and immediately started passing) but was unable to make any ground due to the defense of our backfield. They then started line bucks and short end runs. The Aggies were unable to stop them because of their good interference. The result was a touchdown for Thief River. They failed to kick goal. The Aggies then received the ball and by line plunges and fake plays) carried it across for their first score. "Scats" then place kicked and made the winning point for the Aggies. During the remainder 0.£ the game, the ball see-sawed back and forth. Both teams threatened to score, Thief Ri,ier failing when their pass over the goal went wide. Stenborg starred for the Aggies, and Berggren, ~Iackowiak, and ';Vardeberg also played a good game.

Skatvold, Ostlie, Gandrud aLLOWING an intermission of two weeks, our athletic interests turned to basketball. TIle prospects for a winning team were not good due to the fact that most of the team were picked from a squad of new and inexperienced players, only one letterman being on hand for the first game. Two weeks of strenuous practice put the team in condition for the first game, which was played with Stephen on our floor. The result was a victory for the Aggies. A return game was played a week later on Stephen's floor in which they took revenge by beating our team by one point. These were the only games played before the holidays. Basketball was resumed again with renewed interest at the start of the winter term. Prevailing sickness among several of the first team men was a big obstacle in the way of keeping the team in first class condition during the season. Erling Gorden, regular forward before Christmas, did not return to school because of thds. Sickness was partly the reason why we lost, by a narrow margin, to Thief River Falls on their home floor. In one of the most exciting games c\'er played on the home floor, the Aggies beat the strong Fertile team, tournament winners of district two. "Vhen the time was up, the score was a tie, and an overtime period in which Skatvold and Gandrud both scored field goals ended the game in fa\'or of the Aggies. The game at Ada, where our team played the fast Ada squad, turned out a decided victory for our opponents. The Aggies were unable to check Ada's repeated scoring.

IL was looked for\\"al'd to as the most impOl'tant on our schellule. The Crookston Aggics went into the game withl a determination to win and, as a result, Morris was ('ompletely outclassed. Accurate shooting and driving team work on the part of 0111' team gave them the lead early in the game, and from then on they had their opponents bewildered, Due to close guarding by Ostlie, Morris was unable to makc many scores. The fast work of Hedstrand was very eH'ecti\'e in breaking liP' llieir plays. Honor go to Gandrud, Skatvold, and Stenborg for th ir scoring during the game.

For this reason the aggressive players are well weeded out of the Senior Class. Nevertheless, the Senior team won third place in the interclass games, losing to the Advanced and Juniors, but winning over the Freshmen.

The outcome of the final game in which they will play the Advanced is not known at t his time, but their chances for winning the interclass championship are good. Undoubtedly the Junior team will furnish good material for the scJlOol team next year. Due to their lack 0.£ experience in basketball, it is but natural to expect the Freshmen to lose to their more experienced opponents. In the games played the right spirit and fight were very obvious.

In 1926, nearly 4,000 were enrolled in Northwestern ~rinnesota. Better practices in agriculture and home making are demonstrated by tllese juniors. Surveys in a dozen different states show that some of these improved methods are adopted into the regular practice of the farm and home, on at least two out 0.£ every five farms. Our enrollment last year showed a marked increase in the li,-estock projects. The achievements were also outstanding. The Grand Champion pig at the Junior Livestock Show in 1926 was owned and raised by Henry Roningen of Pelican RapidS. Money that he earned through club work, together with a hundred dollar scholarship from the Minneapolis J01lrnal, has made it possible for Henry to attend the College of Agriculture, at St. PauL Wayne Naugle of Ada, had the reserve champion baby steer at the Junior Livestock ~how. He raised and fed an Angus steer. In John Letnes we have a dairyman of no mean ability. His Ayrshire calf took first in its class at the State Fair in 1925. He too, won a one hundred dollar scholarship awarded by the Minneapolis J01l1'nal. He is now attending the Northwest School of Agriculture, at Crookston. A national cllampionship with a bread demonstration was won by Lorna and Ruth Gritfin of Kittson county. Because they were state champions in the breau demonstration at the State Fair, they were awarded a trip in the National Boys' anel Girls' Club Congress held in connection with the International Livestock Show at Chicago. Here they demonstrated in t'ompetition with teams from several othel' 51 ates, winning first place. :Many educational trips are furnished club members each year. Several hundred from this district receiveu trips to the State Fair, Junior Livestock Show, Short Courses at St. Paul, and the ~orthwest School at Crookston. Club tours, camps, picnics, and county fairs, are giving many an opportunity to get information as well as enjoyment. The "'inter Show at Crookston is doing much to assist the club folks in theil' work. Page Sixty-seven ilnmt Jrnjrtt IInrk IX months supervised home project work on the farm and in the home has been a feature 0.£ Minnesota's special schools of agriculture since its inception. Project work in sewing, canning, preserving, baking, embroidering, and hemstitching for girls, and in tractor operation, livestock raising, pure seed production, corn and potato growing for boys, is required of all students. Each project is planned by the student in conference with the instructor in the subject involved, and each project student is visited at home during the summer by the supervisors.

Many of the programs are put on by students under the direction of Miss Simley and Mrs. Genung. At the beginning of the school year, the students had the privilege of hearing Gov. Christianson. There have been several other addresses given by prominent people of the surrounding community, and of outside towns. We have also been fortunate to be favored with several musical numbers given by representatives of the Department 0.£ Music from the University of Minnesota. All these programs are entertaining and educational, and llelp to keep up the school spirit. ;\rmistire itay November 11 was observed at the Northwest School by a Jal'ger crowd than ever before. Rev. Curtis of Crookston delivered the address, and tIle Misses Polski and Gurley gave severall musical numbers in the auditorium. After the program, the students marclled to the memorial, headed by Crookston's American Legion Drum Corps.

Schroeder, the President, are responsiblc for the fine work in printing as well as help in making he task of compiling this book a lighter one. To Mr. John Benson, of the Benson Studio, goes the eredit for the unusually fine pllotographs in the book, and to ~Ir. ~Iaynal'd Hedrick, credit for the high class art work wllich appears between its covers. Mr. R. S.

The satisfaction of acllievement is ours-the book is yours. -TIlE Page Eighly-six EDITORS. _ i\utngrapija Page E-ighty-Ne1.'en
