"RATES (In North Dakota) One year .. Six months .. Three months a ss OLDEST (Ratabliabed 1878) *XAMINATIONS In many American cities they have abolished the plan of holding examinations at the end of each be school term to determine whether the children are to bu be promoteq to higher grades. There the children i are judged on records kept during the entire term i] and are promoted or not according to what they ; did from the first day to the last. This modern educational method ‘robs childhood of al) its ‘examination horrors,’’ and at the same time. teaches youngsters that they are not graded on what they mal happen to have on the tip of their tongues on some particular day ; but on their day-to- day work, just as they will be rewarded in later years for their week-in and week-out achievements. However, in many schools the torture system of term and examinations still prevails... Children are prodded into reviews and their little minds are over- taxed for a few, days and often far into the nights to ‘Spas the examination.’ Ths scholroom nightmare has harmed the bodies ‘and‘minds of many children: ‘Thing of a shop foreman who based. his judgment of his. workien’s ability and effort upon periodic ance! Yet that is what the examination system asks af a teacher. ‘ HELPING us TO SAVE ‘Gladly and cheerfully the postmen. have: added another task to the many burdens they daily carry up one street alid. down another, criss-crossing back and 4 forth from home to hom. _ Now they are boost- ers sellers of Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps. Wherever they stop and often at homes where seldom they have letters to deliver, they preach the gospel of thrift to help win the war. From a letter postmen leave at ho meswe take this paragraph : ‘We postmen have to crowd an awful lot of work into a day, and I thought we had. about reached the limit when Uncle Sam came along with his Thrift Stamps. We all can ‘do a little more. if we want to, and I am mighty glad that I can help win this.war by turning in a few dollars each day to the United States Treasury.’’ Our postman explained that he wanted our help. He wanted us to tell him that we would acquire the Thrift Stamp habit and said he would deliver them regularly. Probably your postman has had the same eon- versation with you. We are not doing anything for the postman when we buy Thrift Stamps of him. Rather.do we add to his daily toil. But we do help ourselves when we Thrift Stamps and. War Savings Stamps. Also, we help Uncle Sam finance our war. The postman’s stamp selling campaign should be made as easy for him as possible by making ar- rangements with him to deliver a certain number of stamps each day, semi-weekly or weekly, as our sav- ings permit. : MORE FIGHT, NOT FEAR + German submarine raiding of the American coast may help the kaiser in his mad effort to delude his own: people with stories of ‘‘victories’’ and tales of “‘fear’’ striking the hearts of Germany’s foes, and more or less damage may be done to allied shipping, but the largest result of the U-boat raids will be America’s increased determination to fight ‘over there’’ with larger forces, more powerful and more courageously than ever. - The Huns err if they think they have brought the war to America by their submarine operations off our coasts. What they did was to plant in every American’s heart the desire and determination to keep the war ‘‘over there” and not let up an ounce of fighting energy until the war has been brought to the Rhine and from there carried to the throne of the imperial personification of frightfulnéss in Potsdam. U-boats have sunk unarmed merchantmen near our ports, They may sink more of them. By the time this is read they may have fired shells into an American port. In so doing they do more to aroiise tors could hope to do.

It makes us want to fight. If we had heard’ these bombs over there earlier more of us would be ‘‘over there’’ this minute fighting the soldiers, The more American ships you destroy, the ‘more we will build! The more of our food you sink, the more we willl grow and save! The more you try.to frighten us,.the more we will fight! a“ THE POSITIVE AMERICAN To be merely American is not enough. One must be a positive American. It isn’t sufficient to be anti-German. One must need' be pro-American, to be a real American. The other day a professor of a. Missouri German university in an address to an andjence of German origin, insisted that to be merely negatively loyal and obedient to the laws was not enough; they must be spontaneous and unreserved in the expression of devotion to America as their only country. Negative Americanism, if it may be called that, is 50 per cent anti-Americanism. It isn’t a help in winning the war, and may be a hindrance, : STRAW PROFITEERS “Pact that million young men in U. S. will this summer. wear soldiers’ headgear rather than straw hats will not disturb straw hat industry, tariff com- mission says... Decrease in sales will be compen- sated by higrer prices for women’s hats of more expensive material, arid more intricate patterns.”’ This from a Washington, newspaper, that ought to know what it’s talking about. Qh, ye Gods! After a whole year of the war this is the kind of economy that they are still: discussing seriously down east! If:a lot’ of those same young men get themselves gassed, and then buried over in Europe, will undertakers here begin putting out faney coffins at fancy. prices for the rest of us to make up the difference? It’s a pretty rude joke, but at that it is logic cut from the same piece of cloth as the announcement quoted’ above. . Why couldn’t those milliners, male and female; who feel that they just must be up to something or |’ other, war or no war, join either the army or the Red Cross nursing brigade? We ask for a rising vote on the question: =) - ; ‘WHICH JUDGE 18 RIGHT? guilty of disorderly:‘conduct for kissing his wife when she didn’t want him to kiss her. “Ttis a woman’s inalienable right to refuse to be kissed if, she doesn’t wan to:be kissed,’’ this judge said, adding, ‘‘and ‘she docamp forfeit: ‘thid right when she marries the man.’ But.on the other hand Judge Graham of San Francisco officially rules that a husband may. kiss his'wife whenever be pleases. whether it pleases the wife or not. Indeed, so firm are the judge’s convictions upon the ‘subject that he’ was moved to’ put his decision. in verse: ‘‘Be a cave man, seize your mate If she shows you signs of hate; Let her scratch, let bite, : But kiss her, boy; it is your right.”” Take your choice of decisions, Mr. Married. Man. We refrain from expressing our opinion as to which is the right one. | We’rs married. A Thrift Stamp a day isn’t enough if you can save more. We now judge the jindiviudal by what he does for his country, not for himself. The worst thing that: can be said about any man is that “he’s a good Prussian.” The kind of fighting our soldiers are doing ‘‘over. there’’ these days makes veterans of them in short order. When yon get down to brass tacks, the real Lib- erty belle is the young woman working in a muni- tion factory. When an American stops. talking about ‘‘doing his bit’? and begiris doing his BEST he’s really in the war to win. England is further increasing the high cost of loving by taxing the co-respondent with the divorce trial costs. Only after a street railway company has put into practice every possible scheme of economy and efficiency should it ask for an increased fare. No doubt the kaiser will appreciate any as- sistance lobbyists in Washington may render him in defeating the president's war. profits tax pro- gram. ‘ The true patriot doesn’t sit on his front porch of evenings and deplore the loss of food ships in U-boat raids. He gets out in his war garden and makes good that loss of food. Again do health experts condemn the ol’ swim- min’ hole, forgetting that those who read health reports are too old to slide down mud banks and those who do never read health reports. “Greatest army. ‘ever transported overseas by. any country in the history of the world,” is Amer- only be] teas antes t BISMARCK DAILY.
