and only then could the heavy artillery
be brought into action against the
forts. The big guns are practically
powerless without the assistance of the
rifie-armed infantry, because their
sphere of operations lies entirely out
side an attack on the trenches, which
would prevent their approach to the
ultimate goal--the fort itself.
But it is easily conceivable that the

meetings would mean immediate ex-
pulsion from the school of the Offend
ing student
Many Christian people who did not
believe in the Bulgin style of reli-
gious service, took offense at the at
titude of the superintendent and Of
course many parents who were with
out church affiliation, thought that
religion should not be brought in this
way into the public schools.
The school board ignored the pro-
tests Of many representative citizens
in the community and took no action
except to say to Mr.. Landers after
the meetings had closed, that his
intentions were good, but that bring
ing controversies of that kind into the
school was not conducive to harmony.
Later, in the same year when the
political campaign was on, the prohi-
bition question was up, and Mr.. Lam
ders was sent out as campaign
speaker for the cause of prohibition.
The time taken from the school
work was probably not important be-
cause so far as we know his cam
naigning was done on Saturday and
Sunday, but 1t brought about another
controversy among the patrons Of the
schools whose views upon the prohi-
bition question We're not in accord.
Many complaints were made. and
Mr.. Landers was asked by member
of the board and in all kindness, II he
did not think that il would be better
to attend to school matters and leave
the political prohibition question for
others to discuss from the stump.
At conference with board mem-
bers Mr.. Landers stated that he had
been urged into the campaign against
his better Judgment, and that he told
those who requested him to go (using
his own words), II feel that in repre-
sentlng the whole community ought
not TO do that"
At this conference Mr.. Landers was
told of criticisms against him, and
he offered TO resign, but It was made
plain to him that he need not retire
on account of his political or religious
Views, nor on account Of his activities
