big program will be tackled by
the Young Mems Registration Commit
tee this year. 1t is of such large pro-
portions that 1t will be necessary to
double the size OF the body. The $50
members will be increased to at least
500, and this will be the first step
taken.
1t is then proposed TO set out and get
5000 new voters added TO Richmond's
electorate. While this number looks
large, the active members of the com
mittee confidently expect that their
efforts will be crowned with success
Last fall they undertook to teach
young men their civic duty. and as a
result $500 voters were added to the
lists.
In the first campaign. the commit
tee secured the names of all delinquent
taxpayers, and personal visits were
paid to them in Il three night whirl-
wind campaign. This fall 1t proposes
TO make a house to house canvass, and
visit every man who is eligible to
vote, and remind him OF his duty. To
carry out this program the committee
must be increased.

Schools Most Prosperous
Year.

The Cape Girardeau Normal School
opened the second term of its most
prosperous year. The total enroll
ment last year wal 1901 and the indi-
cations are that it will reach at least
1850 or 1900 for the present year
which will be high water mark for the
big Southeast Missouri educational
institution. The enrolment to date
is 951, as compared to 1917 for the cor
responding time last year, or an in
crease of over 10 per cent.
Excellent courses are being offered
for superintendent, principals and
teachers in all grades of schools-high
schools, graded schools and rural
schools. An excellent agricultural
short course for farmers is now in
progress. The second short course
for farmers will open on February Sd,
and the regular spring term will begin
March 18th. There is no question but
that the entry from now until the
close of the year will be much larger
than that of any previous year.
