CLIMATE A WAR FACTOR.

Climatic conditions are even toe
much for the most finished strategy
They drove Napoleon from Russia
contributing the first blow Of his over
whelming defeat. Rains fastened the
end on the field of Waterloo and thus
in the case of hundreds of battles,
weather turned the day into victory
or defeat.
All brands of winter weather are
embraced in the present zone of mill
tary action. Winter, however, in vary
ing degrees prevails over the great
est area of the war theater. In East
Prussia, Russian Poland and eastern
Galicia, the conditions are most Sc
we're, but even in East Prussia, north
ern Austria, France and Flanders the
weather is harsh for outdoor opera
tons. ' .
In general the climate of France is
temperate and, while winter seldom
brings intense cold to northern or
northwestern France or to Belgium
yet the snow falls and drizzle and fog
add to- the. bitter chill.
In Galicia, where the Russians and
Austrians are in deadly combat, the
weather especially is evere. There
is a great snowfall and for days gales
rage over the Galiciaa plains. Most
of the, waters in the eastern war zone
freeze over. by November 20 and re-
main so for an average of 1877 days.

FOURTEENTH SESSION.

AT noon today North Dakota's Four.
teenth Legislative Assembly will con.
vene and the session promises to be
a lively one. Let us all hope it will
be a constructive one.
There are many vital problems Of
interest to the state confronting the
legislators. Not least among them is
the matter Of immigration. There
never was a time in the history of
the state when opportunities were
better for securing settlers at a small
cost to this state.
With two-thirds of the world at
war, this nation presents advantages
rivaled by few other countries. Thou
sands will look toward the United
States as a haven before hostilities
are over and even now many of II
Canadian neighbors to the north are
coming over the line into the neutral
zopa,; ~.:, .. v..a,- ~as .. ,~,,.
North Dakota should secure a share
of these people. There is room here
for thousands of farmers. 1t will not
take much more for a very elaborate
campaign to. direct the. flow Of immi-
Grafton toward our fertile plains.
THIS state needs more farmers. 1t
is one of the most pressing duties be-
fore the legislature to provide ade.
quate facilities for seeking out the
efficient settler. It is to be hoped
that a good working plan to- further
immigration during the next biennial
period will be mapped out.
The educational problems, taxation,
good roads and a host of others of
most vital Importance to the welfare
of the state will be up for consider
alton. In some respects the work
before this legislature is of as great
importance as any since statehood.

SURVEY,

Minneapolis has just completed an
interesting survey of the careers OF
graduates and former students to de-
termine the efficiency Of present
courses as a training for the future.
While the figures have nc applica'
ton to North Dakota, still they reflect
the %inadequacy of curricula in the
grade schools as a preparation for
commercial life.
For 1912, the investigators found
that the percentage engaged in the
various pursuits was al follows: Az
riculture, 8; professional, 3; domes'
tic and personal service, including
laborers, i14.S; trade and %transporta.
ton, $50, and manufacturing and. me-
chanical pursuits, 27.2.
In North Dakota the first classifi-
cation, agricultural pursuits will show
a greater percentage than all others,
but most certainly those who enter
the professions will bear a lower
ratio to other pursuits than in Mime
sofa.
Our educational courses are mapped
out more for the benefit of those who
intend entering professional life than
for the great masses who never see
a college campus.
Minneapolis realizes that a radical
change must be made in the program
of the grade school. Its experts rec
ommead that at the seventh grade
courses practical enough to attract a
boy of fourteen years and hold him
in school be offered.
All educators are studying this
problem and vocational instruction is
being incorporated more and more in
to the curricula of the secondary and
higher schools.

WRANcLE.

The Hannah Moon has the follow
ing pertinent editorial:
The biennial wrangle for appropri:
ations for state institutions is on
again. Local pride forms a part OF
each of these periodic fights. Never
a session passes but the faculties OF
each educational institution demand
from twenty to seventy thousand dol
lars for some new building. These
buildings could be used under present
plans. But under,s a higher staAdard
for admission students Henroll'
ment could be held down to meet
the present accommodations. High
schools all over the state are being
robbed of their all too scanty enroll
ments by these ambitious state insti-
buttons. The University, for example,
though a higher institution of learn
ing, has probably one.fourth of its en-
rollment made up of juveniles who
are taking courses given III the high
schools at home. If this university
kindergarten were dropped there
would be room enough at present. for
all students taking such work as
properly belongs to a higher institu'
ton. Most institutions of this kind
fix q naturalization standard and stud
ents are required to pass such exami-
nation before enrollment.NHigh school
diplomas are on the average equal to
this entrance requirement. For a
time our University would suffer in
attendance, but would broaden its
sweep in degree and special courses.
All the state educational institutions
could improve their standards by pur'
suing such policy. Then it would be
unnecessary for a few years at least
for the faculties to stampede the leg
islature or say uakind things about al
economic governor refusing them q

BOLD ROMANTSTS AND TTMID

Dear Sir: The convent inspection
bill that was introduced into our
legislature (by Tequest) was referred
to q committee on which were two
Catholics. 1t, was reported back to
the House with the recommendation
that it do not pass" A Catholic
member moved it's indefinite post
ponment; nobody said word in it's
favor, and thus it died
Two or three other measures were
up on which the Catholics made a
stand, but they got turned down.
However, we had no man in the legis-
lature who would make an anti
Catholic fight as such. They all
apologized and regretted that secta-
rianism should creep into the con-
sideration of questions. This was
quite in contrast with the Catholic
leader who was not slow to denounce
and roar.
We had seven Catholic members,
and I am not sure but that we had
one Catholic Senator. And the devil
Of it is, three of them were from
Portland where are two or more

HELP THE STARVING HOME
FOLKS. FIRST!

Dear Sir: l have been reading
The Jeffersonian about q year and in
my opinion you have made a score
every time you have been to the bat.
l have noticed in the Meridian
Dispatch where twelve million dol
lars had been loaned to the Russians,
the amount is subject to draft by
Russia at one, two, or three months,
at four and one-half per cent, with
a half one one per cent additional
for acceptance. This money is to be
used in payment for supplies exported
from the United States.
What do you think Of this?
You can see in nearly all papers
you pick up how the people are
starving in Belgium. Now, if you
will just stop and think about the
condition some. of the people in the
United States are in you would estab-
lish a relief committee to take up
subscriptions for them. Always clean
around your own door before you go
to your neighbors. So [ think we
had better clean up the United States
before we go to the eastern country.

Of your valuable time than | should,
