P ] tHiS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING 'BY THE A ERICANTIAESS ASSOLIATION GENERAL -OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO HRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES e Our Slogan: “Bemidji 25,000 Population in 1925” An Inspiring -Example. General Leonard Wood says that the voluntary principle is a failure; and yet, almost in the same breath, declares that his volunteers at Platts- bur, N. Y., will be nearly, if not quite, ready for actual service in war at the end of one month’s drilling, says the St. Paul Dispatch. That may be as it may be. Even the most enthusiastic advocate of the volunteer system does not expect to make veterans out of ‘rookies in one month. But the demonstration at Plattsburg is valuable to the nation quite apart from the technical ques- tion of how long it takes to trans- form citizens into soldiers. Here are 1,400 men from every walk of life going through all the tedious maneuvers inseperable from military drill, and doing it willingly, gladly, because they are convinced that the future safety of the nation -depends on the unselfish private efforts of American citizens to help better the military defenses of the country. The patriotism and discipline of the American people are well illus- trated by the toiling 1,400 at Platts- burg. Among them one finds such men as Mayor Mitchell of New York; Robert Bacon, at one time American ambassador to Russia; Richard Harding Davis, the writer; William D. Straight, of the firm of J. P. Mor- gan & Co.; Percy Haughton, the Harvard football coach; and others equally prominent. Many of them ‘were busy men, many past the age of military service, but they entered the ranks as privates without a mur- mur, and underwent all the hard- ships of camp life without complaint. That is what has happened in America in times of peace, and the example set by the men of New York ought to be copied all over the Union in times of peace. But who ecan doubt for one instant the patriotic temper of the American citizen after witnessing the inspiring goings-on at Plattsburg, or that there would be a mighty rush ‘of -arms if danger ‘ever threatenéd ‘the ‘country?

THREE TO SECURE COMPULSORY EDUCATION A race to avoid being the last state in the Union to adopt compulsory education laws is apparently under way in the Southern states, according to reports received at the United States Bureau of Education. There are now -only ‘three states without such laws, Florida having recently joined Texas and South Carolina in adopting compulsory education by legislative enactment. The- three states still without such laws are. Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama. Officials of the bureau of educa- tion pointed out that this year’s com- pulsory educational legislation is part of a big educational advance all along the line. Nearly all the state legislatures were in session during 1915 and much of the educational discussion that has been going on for several years crystallized into law. The Alabama legislature has recon- vened for the summer session and much school legislation will be dis- cussed. The fact that the Alabama legislature does not meet again for four years makes it likely that Geor- gia and Mississippi may get ahead of her in adopting compulsory edu- cation, unless action is taken this year, Another point that the bureau of education remarks on is the fact that examinations for promotion in schools are going out of fashion. “Few schools now rely entirely up- on examination as a test for promo- tion,” declared W. S. Deffenbaugh, chief of the division of school ad- ministration of the United States Bu- reau of Education, in his annual re- view of school conditions "in the smaller cities. “In some schools,” he said, ‘“‘ex- aminations count one-half, while in others they count only one-fourth. It is now recognized that examinations are not true tests of the pupils’ abil- ity to do the next grade’s work, and that a pupil would not be promoted on what he knows but on what he can do. Of 765 superintendents in the small cities, 669 say that they are now depending on examination much less than formerly.” TR R KKK EK KKK X KKK * PINEWOOD * KK KK KKK KKK Miss Tora Thompson and brother, Oscar, left recently for Derrick, N.
