HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Applications continue to come in
from Common School graduates
who will enter the Freshman class.
Miss Keckler is on her way back
from the Eastern part of the United
States where she has been visiting
for the past month.
Miss Myrtle Megorden, who was
Librarian last year will enter the
Normal this Fall, to prepare her.
self for teaching Commercial
Branches.
Everything is in readiness for
the beginning of school next Mon
day, Sept. 9th. All students are
urged TO be present for work at the
very beginning of school.
Miss Flood returned from her
work at the Minnesota University
this week, and Miss Catur and
Miss Russell, who also attended the
same University during the sum-
mer will return this week.
Steam will be turned on in the
new heating plant Saturday and the
final tests made. The two boilers
will be connected in series with the
heating coils of both the Annex and
the old building in such a way that
one or both may be used. With the
exception of the very coolest wealth
er one boiler will supply all the heat
necessary for the whole school
plant. The ventilating systems
will work separately however, each
being run by it's own electric motor.
A wire has been stretched across
the front of the school grounds and
dozen please" signs strung up as
reminder TO those who cross the
grounds on their way to and from
town TO follow the walks and not
cut across. It is hoped that the
suggestion will be taken in the
right spirit in which it is offered,
and the unsightly path across the
very front of the grounds may be
done away with. Signs will also
be displayed requesting carriages
and automobiles to stop at the
curbing and not enter the groun DIS.
Kindergarten children will be
taught in room by themselves this
year. For the past two or three
years, this department has been
conducted in the First Primary
Room, but now new room has
been supplied with kindergarten
tables, chairs and other equipment,
and all children under six will be
better cared for than has been pos
Sible heretofore. With this grade
removed from the first grade room,
better work can be done there also.
The musical organizations of the
school will begin work at once.
Mr.. Howard is at present in Chi
cago, where he will select the mu.
sic for the years work of the Or
chestra. Mr.. Wickland will have
charge of the Chorus as usual, and
the Glee Clubs will have the ad-
vantage of special teacher of Mu-
sic. Miss Augusta Anderson, who
is TO have charge of the Library and
the Music in the grades, is grad
uate of the Northwestern Conserv-
atory of Music, has had a years
work in the Music Department Of
the Minneapolis City Schools and
one year in charge of the Public
School Music in smaller city. The
Girls Glee Club will have the adj
vantage of her coaching.

The German Aviators Message

Most of us, we suspect, find the
war news unsatisfactory We don't
get much out of it, But every now
and then a story comes from the
front which we all understand and
which makes us believe that Fall will
yet be well with the world" One OF
those stories reached us the past
week-the act of the German aviator
in dropping wreath from the sky
with this message
To Pegoud, who died like hero,
From his adversary
The name of Pegoud's adversary is
not known, but it is not necessary.
This man is the kind Ola jecaau
whom we have met 50 Often in our

with that touch of sentimentality
in him which so often graces the
German character Pegouds adver-
sary is not the exceptional German,
Rather, he is OF the typical German.
And, knowing this to be the fact, the

deed the people of the world, have no

= London, Feb. 23rd-A Berlin official
despatch says: Captain Smith, of the
American steamer Evelyn, which was
recently sunk by a mine off Borkum island,
has informed the German authorities that
his ship cam to grief through the advice
of a British naval boarding officer who
instructed him to follow the course on
which she struck the mine, instead of the
more northerly course laid down in the
German instructions. The disaster oc-
Cured at four o'clock on Friday morning
and the vessel sank seven hours later.
Captain Smith, the Dutch pilot and thirteen
men drifted in a row boat until Saturday
afternoon when they were rescued by a
German patrol boat. A Spanish stoker in
the row boat died meanwhile from expos
ure. The other men in the boat are all
recovering and are now at q sailors home
at Bremerhaven. The mate and the re-
mainder of the crew it is understood have
landed in Holland"
A despatch from the Hague states that
enquiries at the coastguard stations on the
north coast of Holland brought the reply
that nothing had been seen or heard of
the missing members Of the crew of the

first engagements the troops were moved with
machine like formation, but now individual
heroism finds free play. Vicious attacks
are made to gain heights, or sheltered posi-
tiona, and these attacks are repealed with
reckless abandon. Sometimes q position
may be gained and lost again within a few
hours. One height has been stormed one
hundred times, and even now neither side
can claim to hold it as no sooner is it won
and the victors installed than the vanquish-
cd gather new forces and storm it again.
Meantime the Russians are gathering inn
mense new forces in the centre Of the Car
pnthians.
The Vienna "Neue Freie Presse" says hat
Baron Burian, Austro-Hungarian Minister
for Foreign Affairs. and DR.. Won Bethmaun
Hollweg, the German Imperial Chancellor,
met on Sunday morning at the Austrian

son was killed at Ypres in November last
and the heir to the BNrouetcy is now intern

In order TO prevent Interruptions to work
in the trades which supply war materials,
the Government has appointed a Committee
to consider all disputes which the parties
directly concerned are unable to settle. The
Com mittee consists of Sir George Askwith,
tlet industrial Commissioner of the Board
Of Trade, Sir Francis Hopwood, Additional
Civil Lord, for Board of Admiralty, and Sir
George Glib, for the War Office.
The Australian mail boat, "Maloja," with
400 passengers on board, was ordered to
stop by m unidentified armed merchantmen
wien entering the English Channel, but she
ignored the order and made for Plymouth,
Whereupon the merchantman fired four shots.
All the shells fell short and the "Maloie"
reached Plymouth unharmed.
In The House of Commons, Mr.. Asquith in
answer to a question, said The Allies are
considering what action it is proper TO take

policy of attacking and destroying British,

Advices from Vienna state TINT the Bur
gomaster and President of the Chamber of
Commerce called on the Austrian Premier
ard insisted on measures being taken to
provide sufficient grain and -four to meet the
city's needs. They said they thought Hun
gary should be compelled to supplement
A%ustria's inadequate supply of grain, and
that all supplies from both countries should
be treated as a common stock. The Minis
tor assured them that the Cabinet was per
fecting a project to relieve the situation.
TIL people are indignant over what they

with Austria her surplus grain.
The Hungarian newspapers contain vi
