making the movement a success. Mr..
Hall also presented the suggestion
that the State College be made the
seat Of military training in South Da-
kota and that the idea of preparedness
be carried along IN al educational way.
The idea brought out was to give the
present military courses in the colleges
more attention and that the develop
ment of the young men along military
lines would not only make them fit for
service in time of need but would give
them a course in physical training
which would better equip them for any
line of work they might follow.
President Perisho, of the State Col
lege, made a few remarks on the sub
ject of military training presented by
Mr.. Hall. He said, Il want it distinct
ly understood that the State College
will be the official head of all military
instruction in the state" The reason
given for this statement was the fact
that practically every branch of study
started by the State College had been
split up and given to other institutions
in the state thus dividing the strength
and efficiency of the colleges.
Prof. r. F. Kerr outlined a plan Used
by the Knoxville, Tennessee, CONNER
cial club for the operation Of a junior
club run in connection with the mems
organization. The important feature
brought out was the plan to instruct
the boys in commercial club manage
ment and city and county government.
DR.. A. w. Hyde called attention to
the observance of Lincoln's birthday
and he put a motion before the club to
purchase a silk flag for the occasion
and also to be used for other patriotic
purposes.
President Perisho called attention to
the fact that the birds in this section
Of the country would all o die if
something was not done to provide
feed for them. He stated that State
College was sending letters al over
the state calling attention to The fact
and asking for aid in providing feed.
In connection with Mr.. Culhane's
suggestions for monthly talks at the
club meetings Mr.. Hall made a motion
that Mr.. Albert, an expert on corl-
munity building, be brought here for a
lecture on community building, or
any other man the committee saw fit
to select.
The various standing committees
selected by President Culhane to serve
the first half of the year are as fol-
lows:

GENERAL HENRI PETAIN
ADVANCED DURING WAR

Paris Gen. Henri Petain, the
defender of Verdun, is typical Of the
modern French soldier. He Is just 90.
He received his commission as second
lieutenant in 1873, and became cap
tain in 1890, and colonel in 1900. He
was a colonel when the war began and
was going to retire.
General Petain first distinguished
himself during the retreat from
Charleroi in the early days of the war.
He became bridadier general and gen.
eral Of division, and rose rapidly to his
present position.
He Is a curiously modest man and
hates being photographed. He Is I'M
mensely popular with his men whom
he treats as though they were his own
children General Petain is very
methodical and weighs his food every
day, saying that it Is as necessary for
officers to be in perfect condition as
for rlcehOrses. Keeping In condition
is his pet mania. He was turned out or a
flat which he occupied once because
he insisted on taking half an hour 8
exercise with a skipping rope after his
bath each morning.
The result Is that General Petain
at 50 is as active as the youngest lieu
tenant in the French army. Quite re-
Gently in Champagne he covered four
miles at the double at the head of a
company, and he prides himself on the
ease with which he undergOes the same
hardships and the same hard work as
any man with him.
The general does not believe much
in red tape, always wanting t" get the

The schools don't educate country boys
to till the soil. They don't even teach
them to look on farming as a dignifled
business" A farmer Is quoted as saying
this in Ewing GallOway's article, Stay
on the Land" printed on page p of this
issue. 1t is a damaging statement, but
we believe the farmer who made 1t knew
only too we'll what he was talking about
One OF Mr. GaIlOways points is that the
text books used in most country schools
are not the right kind of text books. The
problems in the country school arithme-
tics are problems about imports and the
stock market instead of hogs and cattle
and corn; the question Is not the one Of
the number Of bushels of wheat farmer
can tease out Of a given number of acres
but some matter that concerns city peo-
pie and clerks who draw a salary and
wear made to order clothes and live in
door lives. There Is great deal of dead
wood In the school books used by country
schools and a correspondingly large OPP
portunity for the text book author who
knowing country life as well as his spe-
Cialty will write country life text books
Such text books will teach the three RS
all the better because they deal with IA
miliar terms; and they will tend to make
