STATE SCHOOL ADOPTS NEW PLAN OF ACTION Some Ideas Used in George Jun for Republic Adopted by Head of Training Institution \A scene unique in the annals of the State Training School took place Friday night, when the new superin- tendent, W. F, McClelland put up to the boys his plan of self government and they unanimously acccepted it. Mr. McClelland, formerly @ worker in the world famed George Junior Republic, proposes to put into execu- tion the theory and as much of the practise as is:immediately practicable of that successful experiment in boy psychology. <: The preliminaries which occurred on Friday evening were most inter- esting. boy who was appointed temporary:.chairman presided with al dignity and seriousness, Two boyr were nominated for judge, the merits of each nominee being extolled by the fellow who proposed him. The one who was finally elected is a chap who. comes of excellent family: and ir possessed of a high school education dut who became incorrigible, fell ir with a band of:thieves and was finally committed to the Training School. :. Makes 8 ‘ ae poles us election with mig new! le speech, really a very worthy ef- fort, in, which. he thanked--his com- rades for their confidence in him and mised to, administer justice to the of his ability. “I may,” said he “make mistakes, but est mistakes. I will treat friends anc and if you don’t want to get pines , don’t get into trouble, that’r ail.” . ‘Other nominations were then hear? and a boy elected for clerk of court by whom complaints might be pre ferred. Court. is held three times a week, but not on Sunday or holidays | On Saturday night were staged the! first trials.in the new court. In the first case which. came before the ige the boy plead guilty the charge ing disorderly conduct in. the wash foom. He was sentenced to five hours on line, and concurred with: the other boys that the punishment was entire- ly. deserved; the next boy was con- -vieted of leaving his work and going to the barber shop out of his turn, and 80 on, punishment, by the _ This way which is called “going on. line” in institutions of this character ,is one which: Mr. McClelland says ‘will be abolished a little later. It means sim- ply to stand while the others are at recreation for a certain time each day until the sentence is worked out. Ir the boy republic idea there are better ways of gaining the desired end. ‘ Marks's Change * This is just the beginning, but it marks a great change. Eventually it is expected that the entire school life may be modeled after the junior re- . public. The superintendent believes that under the present. system ir vogue, the boys are just naturaly al- lied against the guards and the guards against the boys, and that when the latter are finally allowed tc go out ‘into the world as citizens, they are intuitively 4 against au- thority and gove. *, and that thie constitutes the very thing to be avoid- ‘ed. Any one who has ever worked in an institution recognizes the justicc of this position. Nothing worth while has ever beer accomplished without enthusiasm, anc this Mr. McClelland has in’ abundance More than:that he believes in the boy and their potentialities for good. He believes in athletics, community sing- ing, Teligious training (non sectar- ian) in school and religious instruc- stion @n his own religion for each boy and & school room with a thoroughly accredited teacher. In the fall there will be a schoo! of agriculture, one of carpentry an¢ a print shbp‘'where thé’school paper will be prifited and all. the work from the type setting to the editing done by the boys themselves. “ Finally, he believes in government of the people, for the people and by the people, even these unfortunate little people who have fallen afoul of the law, mostly because they never have been taught to goven themselves sand he thanks that once they have been * taught that, their. problems are large- Jy solved. For. that matter, these are future citizens and what touches them touches all of us. — Spends Week End Frank Sampson of Mott was in Man- dan and Bismarck for the week end.

GREECE FACES , BAD SLUMP IN "ALL COMMERCE Athens, May 30.—Business in Greece hag fallen off to such an extent thai ; American commercial representative : find themselves without anything to jdo. Trade in all lines has become stagnant. The shipping business i: prostrated. ‘The only vessels to ar. tive in Saloniki harbor during th: last three weks were two hospital ships bearing dead and wounded fro-.. the Anatolian front. The government is buying nothing except a limited quantity of food sup- plies for the army. It is withholding Payment on all outstanding accounts Every franc is needed for the Asi: Minor campaign. The Greece franc (or drachma) ha: only one-third its former value. Tuc cost of life was never higlier, the. morale of the people seldom lower. The price of bread was advanced 40 Per cent a few days ago. The army is costing 4,000,000 francs a day. For eign observers are agreed that the | country cannot go on without a finan- clal crisis, The defeat of Venizelos and the re- turn of: King Constantine has affecteu all business in a country where com- | merce and politics are closely associ- ated. The blockade of foreign credits, the rapid decline in the drachma, and uncertainty as to the future hag re- sulted in commercial paralysis. Greece feels especially her inability to use the $33,000,000 credit she has in the United States.’ The American State Department has made it clear that this cannot be touched until the question of recognition of the king is settled. Constantine insists he never adbicated, “and refuses to recognize the legality of. his son Alexander's reign, This attitude may have an im: Portant bearing upon America’s policy toward Greece and the question of the $33,000,000 credit. i The docks, warchouses and: customs house in Piraeus (the port of ‘Athens) are choked with merchandise, due to | the inability of the purchasers, to pay for it.

USED 5() YEARS FOR SKIN TROUBLES GREAT BRIDGE TO CONNECT TWO NATIONS Suspension Structure Will Link Detroit and Windsor—To Cost 30 Million Detroit, Mich., May 30.—The propos- ed suspension bridge betwen Detrol. and Windsor, the sixth international. bridge linking the United States with” Canada and the third that will carry highway traffic between the two coun- / tries, will have been completed within the next five years, in the opinion of Charles Evans Fowler, chief enginéer of the project. Mr. Fowler announc- ed construction work might start late next fall or during the winter. Aboni four years ig expected to be requirei to complete the project. The bridge, Mr. Fowler said, will rank as one of the most important of those between the two countries, be- cause it will connect Ontario, the mort thickly settled province of Canada, with the so-called middle western part of the United States. It will serve # Sreater number of persons than any other international bridge on the con- tinent. Mr. Fowler said. Present plans call for a bridge ot the suspension type that will cost $30,000,000. Permission to build’ the span has ben granted by both the United States and Canada. The bill granting such permission was signed by President Wilson just before he left office March, 4. Both branches of the Dominion government have sanctioned the project, virtually com- pleting the preliminary steps neces- sary before construction begins, The main span of the bridge will be 1,700 feet. There will be. two 28- foot roadways,.,tywo.,seven-foot side- walks, two tram car tracks, and four tracks on the lower decks for rai!- ways. The railway tracks will con- nect on the Canadian side with the Essex Terminaf railway and on the American side with the joint trackk of the Pennsylvania, Pere Marquette, Wabash and Michigan Centra! raii- roads, : Three of the bridges already in ex- istence between the United States and Canada are located at Niagara Falls, one {s at Buffalo, and another {s across the St. May’s river near Sault Stc.
