OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS P IN WAR WE TRUST? Recently we read with horror of the loss.of many lives ir | a trial trip of a monster airship which was to ‘have become_the property of America, for use, presumably, in _the American navy. We were told the loss was over a million dollars, in money—more was said about the money loss, than the loss of life. The fact was also bemoaned that a huge new hangar which was waiting for the new monster of the air would have to go empty. Another million dollars spent to lpok at. Two million—a mere piftle, of course, but the stuff billions are made of, expended for what? Some future war! Have we come in America to regard force as the only pow- er on earth to govern men? It would seem so. For army pnd navy we are spending as much as Germany’s reparation claims. The annual reparation claims against Germany is $500,000,000,talk on how their Sunday school, of |the waiting list are notified in turn. | 1 ! | Dlus 26 .per cent of her export values ($260,000,000), a total of $760,000,000. Our expenditures for military and naval pur- poses during the last fiscal year up to June 21, was $825,837,- 939. The army and navy bills recently passed by congress for this year’s expenditures was $830,000,000. Unless this terrific strain is released, it will have cost us more in 40 years than Germany’s total indemnity. With F’rancg, England and Japan running the same mad race, their expendi tures on the same basis would undoubtedly be equally suicidal. We are professedly a Christian nation, and yet we are plac- ing our confidence in a barbaric method of protection, that of force, a confidence entirely unworthy of such a nation. From the hilltops and from the valleys must go up the shout to our congressmen and executives in Washington that this orgy of expenditures must cease. Much has been said and written already against the mad policy of continuous increased war expenditure. It must continue until there shall be no un- certainty in the minds of our legislators that the people of America do not want to continue forever carrying the terrific burden placed upon their backs by such profligate expenditures. While America and the other first-class nations are groan- ing under the burden, Germany would eventually come out financially, economically and in reality the victor, the conse- quences of which could scarcely be over-estimated. ‘We must put our nation’s earnings in some better bank than | warships and war munitions if we would have a happy, pros- perous and contented nation, and one that will continue to rank first in the nations of the world, PR [ THE CHURCH AND THE CONFERENCE The Duluth Interchurch council has proposed to make ."Armistice Day this year a day of religious service and prayer, with a message to the peace conference going out from every religious assemblage. It is altogether likely that there will be a wide response to this suggestion, and that not onty in Duluth but in most com- munities, perhaps to some extent all around the world, the day of this momentous gathering will be made a day of solemn re- ligious observances, of prayers for peace on earth, good will toward men, and of messages to the conference warm from the hearts of the devout worshipers. Nothing could be more fitting. Nothing could be more helpful. There has been no more solemn moment in profane history than this will be when the leading nations of the earth meet in Washington, on the third anniversary of the Armistice, to plan for world peace. For that is what it comes to. This is called a disarmament conference, but, of course, it isn’t that, but only a conference to plan a limitation of armament. But to accomplish even that, it must resolve many critical issues if it can, to reduce the num- ber of inflammable questions likely to provoke war. If it sue- ceeds, almost inevitably it will grow, either at Washington or elsewhere, into an organization to preserve peace and to re- move from the life of mankind, at least in a large measure, the threat of war and the burden of preparedness for war. Much of the fate of this conference depends upon the at- mosphere of public sentiment that surrounds it. If the air is heavily charged with a demand for effective action, it will be more difficult for the delegates to let their political ambitions and national greeds interfere with the success of the conference. Every individual who thinks and talks peace, and every organ- ization—especially every religious organization—that urges ac- tion toward peace, will be making the hove of peace that much greater. It is peculigrly fitting that the Christian churches of Amer- ica and the world should give to this movement every ounce of strength they can exert. . Whether it is recognized or not, whether it is onenly proclaimed or not, this conference will suc- ceed or fail according to whether the spirit of Christ is permit-! ted to influence its discussions and its judgments.—Duluth Hemald, ve, .. -0 FRANCE REFUSES GERMAN LABOR Americans will sympathize fully with the flat refusal France has given to the German proposal that the work of reparation in the devastated re- }low are we going to get the truth about the relative wortht of big bat- tleships and airplanes, if officers who are in a position to give information are not allowed to express their own opinions?—St. Paul Pioneer Press. The ruling of the government that the home-brewer must pay a thou- eand dollar fine is growing mere and more explanatory and apologetic.

Students may enter with partial High School work and receive proper credit for work which has been successfully completed. ) Persons who now hold, or who may receive, the two-year Diploma, may apply their credits earned in such course at full value on the four-year Teachers’ College Course. The general requirements for ad- mission to the State Teachers Col- lege are good health, good character, and general fitness as a student and prospective teacher. ‘When entering students should present all credits. state high school certificates, and all standings includ- ing and beyond the cighth year. High School and Teachers’ Training For students who live in communi- ties without high school advantages and for students who desire to do their high school work in connection with teacher training, a regular high school department is maintained| which provides all the work or the| cquivalent of a regular four-year high schooi, and in addition, by means of the fifth year, provides teacher training courses which lead to a diploma, : Students holding a second grade certificate or credits admitting them to an approved high school course or the equivalent will be admitted to the five-year course. Applicants to-the five-year course who do not have the necessary cre- dentials will be required to pass ex- aminations in Arithmetic, Grammar, Geography and U. S. History. A regular first grade certificate,| valid at time of presentation, will| give the holder twelve credits on the| | five-year course. Students from high schools offer- ing less than four years of work will |be admitted to the five-year course | with such advanced standing as may be justified. Two-Year Course | (For Four-Year High School Grad- uates) The satisfactory completion of a | four-year course in a standard high !school, in a fully accredited private| |academy, or in the secondary depart- |ment of a normal school or teachers’| | college, will admit the student to this! | course without examination.

Four-Year Course | | The entrance requirements for the | four-year course are the same as | those for the two-year course. | [ Credits already earned in the two-l iycnr course or cquivalent credits‘ I pledge to teach two years within the year may receive |/ 'in Consolidated Schools. ' earned in othér schools will be cepted for full credit on the four-year course. CERTIFICATES, DIPLOMAS AND DEGREES The diploma from either the five- year or two-year course entitles the holder to teach in the rural, semi- graded, elementary department of state high schools or in graded and consolidated schools. Under the new legislative act the completion of the four-year teachers’ college course will carry with it the conferring of an appropriate degree (to be designated later by the Col- lege Board). Those who need to teach before completing the entire course may re- ceive a temporary certificate as fol- lows: A second grade certificate may be obtained by completing two years of the five-year course. A first grade certificate may be secured by com- pleting three years of the five-year course, or one year of the two-year course.. Provided, that in all cases at least one year of the work shall be done in the State Teachers College with an average of C.
