SUMMER SCHOOL
PROGRAM FIXED
UNIVERSITY SESSION WILL BE
HELD IN MOSCOW JUNE 15-
JULY 25.
Prospects Indicate Large Attendance
This Year-MOre Than so Courses
on Program.

The third annual summer session O1
the University of Idaho will open on
June Is and continue for six weeks
thereafter closing on July 20. The
coming session is expected to be the
most successful in the history of the
university's summer schools both from
the standpoint of attendance and from
that of the quality of work that will
be offered. In many respects the
courses that will be given this summer
VIII be very similar to those offered
last year, though much more advanced
work will be given and much of the
elementary work will be dropped.
1t seemed evident, it is said, duiing
last summers session that the advanced
courses in which college credits were
offered were by far the most popular,
the majority of the students register
ing for work leading to college de-
gree or to first and second grade GER
tificates. The fact that only college
credit courses will be offered this
summer will not, it is thought, make
any material difference in the enrol
ment.
The faculty of the summer session
will be larger than ever before, con-
sisting of more than 40 members drawn
fo
university faculty In some Of the
courses outside instructors will be Sc
cured. These will be drawn from the
state department of education, the state
normal schools and the public schools
of the state and will all be experts in
their respective lines Of teaching. The
laboratories used by the stu
dents during the regular school year
at the university will be open to the
summer students as also will the big
35 5,O0O-volume library. rhe students at
the summer school will be given free
access, also, to the tennis courts, the
gymnasium and the athletic field.
More than 80 courses covering sub
ects regularly offered in agriculture,
anguages, home economics, sociology,
chemistry, education, bacteriology,
English and many others have been ar
'anged and almost every line of work
hat could be desired will be offered. I
Numerous special courses for teachers
will be given in which emphasis will {
'e laid not only on the subjects them {
elves but also on the best methods of 6
eaching them.
All railroads in the Inland Empire
ave arranged to offer greatly reduced
ates on their lines tributary to Mos /
ow. Tickets will be placed on sale
ON June II to II with July % fixed as

ALL BOY SCOUTS ARE BROTHERS

An assistant scoutmaster of Phila-
delphia, Alfred H. Loeb, relates the
following significant incident in his
article on What Saw Scouts Doing
in Europe" in Boys Life:
"One of the most courteous scouts
whom I met was a sea scout. He
was acting as a messenger for the ad-
miralty (naval headquarters). while
the rest OF his troop were serving as
coast guards He appeared very
much interested in what the Ameri-
can scouts were doing. so I showed
him some photographs Of our boys.
AS I also held in my hand some pho
tographs that / had taken of the
German boy scouts. / said:
"I don's suppose pictures of Ger
man scouts would particularly inter-

BIG FRENCH GUNS
OVERNIASTER FOES

BERLIN, Dec. 12.-Today's Off
cial communication issued by the
German army headquarters staff as
serts that a French attack, resumed
in the Forest of Argonne. was repuls-
ed, the allied forces losing heavily.
The text Of the statement reads:
I'm the district of Souain, the
French yesterday confined themselves
to heavy artillery firing.
"A renewed French attack on Ro-
crol and Courcullies did not make any
progress. The attack broke down un-
der the fire Of our artillery, the en-
emy suffering heavy loss.
Yesterday three of the enemy's
aviators dropped about 10 bombs on
a town situated outside the range of
operations, the town of Freiburg
(Baden). No damage was done The
incident merely shows again that an
open town not situated within the
range of operations has been attacked
with bombs by the enemy"

That comes to the victor in battle,
Where men for the sake Of dread his

Meet death mid the fury and rattle;
Where lovers and sons in the carnage

Unmarked by a stone for remem-
brance hewn,
Left to rot in the hideous mirel
For such was the brave, fearless lad

Who loved me so dear when we
parted,
Who rode to the front with a cour-
age divine.
And left me alone, broken-heart-
ed:
He vowed when he left me he soon
would return,
With tears then our bosoms did
sever,
But now all in vain for his coming I
yearn,
My laddIe Is gone, and forever!
The battle has taken my laddie from
me.
'Tis but for his love I am pining.
Ny hearts ardent spirit that once
was so free,
BY night and by day is declining:
So tell me no more Of the glory and

Attending the wounded and dying.
Ny bosom but leaps at the sound Of
his name,
Ny heart for my laddie Is crying!
