One of the most impressive ad-
dresses ever heard here was that given

at the Methodist Sunday School insti-
tute, on The Meaning Of Young Wo-
manhood. Mrs. Lamoreaux has de-
livered a number Of fine addresses dur

peal to her audience that she has made
during the convention.

He spoke particularly Of the work Of
ways of handling these classes in Or

on Positive Teaching, and he. conduct
ed a conference Immediately following
the address, These conferences have
proven Of the most valuable feat

portunity to discuss and clear up many
questions which are p~erplexing Sunday
school workers today.
DR.. Hartman Speaks.
Dr.. Hartman gave an address at the
afternoon session on Enlisting the
Boys. His talk showed a thorough un-
Outstanding of the boy, and he out
lined methods Of getting him interest
ed in the Sunday school, and keeping
him there.
Mrs. Lamoreaux.
Mrs. Lamoreaux spoke yesterday
afternoon on The Strategic Value Of
the Early Teens, and in her address
emphasized the Importance of the
teen age, and the opportunity it at
fords for teaching and guidance which
will have a lasting effect. Following
her address, Mrs. Lamoreaux conduct
ed a conference on the subject.
Last evening concluded the pro-
gramme Of h conference, which from
the standpoint Of attendance, enthusi-
asm and the quality of the addresses
heard, was the best ever conducted by
the Fargo Moorhead Sunday School
union. The banquet at the Annex was
a fitting climax to a most successful
session.

Men Needed as Teachers.

In order to relieve the difficulties of
the present educational system, more
men must be induced to become teachers.
This cannot be accomplished until the
profession OF teaching is lifted to the
rank OF the other learned professions.
Not only should the teacher be thorough
" educated, but he should received AIDE
quate compensation for his work.
The men we need in our public schools
are not attracted to positions which
carry neither social standing nor ade-
quate financial compensation. Neither
will men of quality enter the profession
Of teaching until the undesirable rota-
ton of Office caused by local politics is
suppressed, Until tenure of office
which renders this position less inse-
cure--is popular, the men who are nee
essary to invigorate the dry bones of
our public school system will seek other
fields Of labor-Suburban Life-The

A WORKING MUSTER.

If there are few visitors at the camp.
ground OF the Vermont state militia
this year, there is one consolation in the
fact that the comparative freedom from
this handicap to good work viii permit
the members of the regiment to put their
full time into the military game and
consequently, they will receive more real
advantage from the 1914 muster than
they are ordinarily allowed to receive.
They should bear in mind, too, that lack
of visitors does not necessarily mean
lack of interest in the organization and
its important part in the states activ-
tiles, but that it means disposition to
let the militia get the most out of their
mobilization at the state campground.
Indeed it is quite a tribute to the re-
gime now in force in the Vermont Ma
tional Guard that the annual muster is
losing some of the spectacular features
and is more on real working, practical
basis than in former years.

ROAD sIGNBoARDs.

Although the placing Of signbosrds at
the crossroads may seem a, small mat
ter, it nevertheless is one Of the eondi-
tions which are making Vermont IA
vorable place for automobile tourists,
The state is 50 well posted with sign
board guides that great bother Of trav-
Fl is largely done away with-there is
little chance Of getting away on the
wrong road if one is at all observing.
This condition is much in contrast 70
that 20 BE- found in some neighboring
states. where. excepting on the main
highways, the signboard is q rare feature
q the landscape. Governor Baldwin Of
Connecticut realizes the advantage Of
the siznboard and also the neglect Of
