| Summary: | Newsletter of the North Dakota School for the Deaf. 8 THE NORTH DAKOTA BANNER picture of himself in running costume and said that he was trying bard to get a record as a sprinter. He also intima-. a ted that he had our Jens Pederson backed off the boards when it came to getting over the ground. Still we are loyal to Jeus and think in a race his long legs would get him over the line first. Sunday May 8th was Mothers Day HDd Mrs. Long in a very sweet way recalled the fact by sending a box of white carnations to be distributed among the boys on that Sunday. Mr. Bangs lectured that Sunday on the subject of duty to parents with special reference' to the relationship between mother and child. Last fall the School started in on registered stock. This month the first calf thru this stock was sold for $75 and the animal was cheap at that too. We • have always believed that the sooner au institution of this kind got into blooded stock; the better anti iu the end the more profitable. The time will etmu* within ten years when this School will have a fine herd of full blood cattle with credit front sales running into such fig-gurcs as will show conclusively the wisdom of the step taken last fall in starting such a herd. An amusing incident happened in connection with the “fire .drill”,’ one morning three weeks ago. We have what is necessary in large buildings, where many people are gathered under one roof, an occasional fire drill. The fire alarm is sounded at any unexpected --- moment and the word is passed along to those who do not hear it, and an orderly" rush is made for the first floor at the main entrance. That morning a gentleman, whose identity we have not yet learned, appeared at the door and rang the door-bell. As there was no answer, he rang it again and again until the teachers up stairs took it for the fire alarm and, of course, the rush was made for the hall down stairs, and the rathcred astonished and chagrined visitor found himself surrounded by seventy-five children and their teachers. It was a sight that he will not soon for • get. The mistake was explained, but it must have unsettled his uerve badlv ho left at once. CLASS OF im. Commencement Exercises, 'jilritjjram. Part I.
