MORE ARTILLERY NEEDED.
Defect of Militia Organization Is
Pointed Out.

There is woeful lack of auxiliary
troops, especially field artillery, in pro-
portion TO the infantry strength, of the
organized militia, which would seriously
affect the efficiency of the reserved forces
if called out for the national defense.
This defect is strongly emphasized in
an order Just issued by Gen. Leonard
Wood, chief of staff, authorizing an in
crease in the field artillery for the mi
litia Gen Wood urgently requests the
state authorities to- organize additional
units of this arm of the service The
order provides for the creation of more
battalions of field artillery or the expan-
sion of existing batteries into battalions.

DR.. Beach reported that someone
had broken into the East Mankato

and had thrown the desks out into

He had also reported the matter to
the police.
Superintendent Sperry reported
that the manual training department

fourth prize. They had sent one
Morris chair, one ironing board, a

This speaks highly for the work
done in the manual training room.
He also reported that reception
would be given for the parents of
the students in the high school on
December Is. A report was given
of the matter of the Wilcox family,
living on Poplar street. Mr.. Sperry
had taken the matter up with the

to the pastor and two delegates to

carried.
Rev. Mr.. Heermance moved that
the present chairman be asked to
call that meeting to order and to
appoint nominating committee for
the officers, to report then, and this
was carried.
Professor Brandrup said that there
was a matter that he wished to
mention. He thought that the meet
ing should compliment Superintend-
ent Sperry for the stand that he
had taken against the use of tobacco
by the school boys. (Applause.) He
thought that this organization should

and the billiard hall is the greatest
that we have to deal with in Man.
kato, he said, and he hoped that
the organization to be formed would
help stamp it out. These things
ruin more young men than We real
ize. He would like to see a COM
mittee of eight or ten good men
representing the different churches
wait upon the mayor and demand
that he require the proprietors of
these places to keep students out OF
the pool halls.
Superintendent Sperry said that
he had been drawn into the matter
deeper than he had expected, as he
had not anticipated publicity, but he
was willing to do all that was
necessary and hoped to have CO.
operation. He did not expect that
all would be caught. 1t would not
be wise to go after the boys ex-
cept by personal influence. If all
business men would set a better
example on the streets there would
be less smoking by the boys. Every
time they see man smoking it
suggests the thought to them. Two
of the leading high school boys
have agreed not to smoke in public,
which will go a long ways. If those
who harbor the boys and sell To-
bacco to them can be gotten, it will
make a big difference. There are
boys who are killing themselves
with tobacco. He suggested that the
dealers be given a few days to
make good, to see if they would try
to enforce the law, but if not he
had some boys who would help to
enforce the law.
Professor Brandrup suggested that
the publicity committee keep the To-
cal evils before the people, and
thought that Superintendent Sperry
would be splendid man on the so.
cial service committee.

This is one of the finest things
that was said by Bishop Edwin HI.
Hughes whose lecture, on "The BIZ
ography of Boy given last
evening, was the second number on
the Y. NJ c.. A. lecture course.
Bishop Hughes was introduced by
Rev. W. n. Jameson of the Cente-
nary Methodist Episcopal church of
this city, who spoke very briefly.
Bishop Hughes gained the atten-
ton of his audience with his first
statement and kept it until his last
words. Many were heard to remark
at the close Of the lecture that they
would like to remain another hour
to hear more about boys. The first
statement he made was that the peo-
pie who knew the most about boys
are usually the ones who have no
boys of their own, and if there is
anyone on earth who knows more
about how boy should be brought
up than a bachelor does, it is an
old maid. The easiest thing in the
world is to bring up your neighbors'
children properly.
Domestic Training Not Only Thing.
Domestic training is not the only
influence brought to bear upon a
boy. The public school teachers
have most of their time, but the
mean and degrading things that a
boy absorbs are not learned in
school nor at home, but are learn
ed after school and on the streets
and away from home. The neigh

Last Tuesday night he was driven
to the house of his brother, H. E..
by a friend. He was reticent in his
conversation, preferring not to say
anything about himself or to explain
why he returned to Mankato, except
that he had bad luck. Before leav-
ing for Washington, he borrowed his
brothers watch and when he re-
turned he also returned the watch.
He said he would go to Mankato
Saturday or Sunday and from there
he would write him letter which
he could see. Tears were in his
eyes as he said this, and during his
short stay with his brother he seem
ed unusually downcast.
No arrangements for the funeral
