Irish Attempt to Throw OFF
English Rule Not Successful

London, April ga revolutionary
outbreak in Ireland in which British
troops and volunteers sustained rela-
lively heavy casualties, and raid by
a German battle cruiser squadron ON
the east coast of England in which the
raiders escaped after having lombard
ed Lowestoft and hit two British
cruisers and destroyer, are the out
standing features Of the war.
So far as has been made public the
revolution in Ireland has not extended
beyond Dublin, where members Of the
Sim Fein society on Monday captured
the postoftice and other points in Dub
lin, and, in the fighting which ensued
with the troops and Loyalists, killed
at least II of the city's defenders and
wounded nearly score of others.
What the losses of the revolutionists
were has not been stated.
The British government asserts that
the situation in Dublin now is we'll in
hand. The German battle cruiser
squadron made it's attack on Low
estoft, opening fire on the coast and
killing two men, one woman and a
child. British light cruisers, torpedo
boat destroyers and aircraft chased
the Germans, who put back hastily
toward Germany. Two British cruis.
ers and destroyer were hit by Ger
man shells but none was sunk. Wheth-
er the Germans suffered any damage
is not known.
Excepting Lorraine there has been an
entire absence of infantry fighting on
the western front. The big guns, how
ever, have continued their rain of
shells on opposing positions at vari-
Gus points.
At LaChapelotte in Lorraine, the Ger
mans launched heavy infantry attack
against the French, which was repuls-
ed Some of the Germans obtained
foothold in portion of the French
salient but later were driven out with
heavy losses.
Around Hill 304 and in the region of
Esnes and Cumieres, northwest of
Verdun, the bombardment continues
intense. To the east of Verdun around
Moulainville, there also has been a
violent bombardment. In the Argonne
the French have destroyed with their
, guns German post and shattered a
German trench over small front.
Considerable aerial activity by the
French airmen, in which four German
machines were brought down is re-
ported by Paris.
On the eastern front near Garbun-
Okla, the Russians made a heavy at
tack against the Germans, but, accord
ing to Berlin, were repulsed with san
gagements are still in progress in the
upper Cordevole and Monte San Mi
chale zones of the Austro-Italian front.
British official communications from
Mesopotamia say the British are still
holding their lines on the right bank
of the Tigris against the Turks and
have somewhat extended them at one
point by driving in the Turkish pick
cts.

Claxton Says Schools
Must Be Improved

Bismarck, April Z5.-Unlteu otdtes
Commissioner of Education DR.. P. P.
Claxton of Washington, D. c. was in
the city yesterday and appeared be-
fore the state board of regents, who
opened their regular monthly meeting
at the capitol.
DR.. Claxton informed the board that
the report of the commission making
the educational survey of the state
would be ready not later than May 20.
At the present time DR.. E. B. Craig
head and DR.. Bawden, who gathered
most of the data in the state, are COM
piling their information in Washing
ton, preparatory to making the report.
They will be joined within the next
few weeks by Prof. l.. D. Coffman of
the university of Minnesota, who will
also make a report on conditions in
the state, and by Dr. Claxton.
Practically all the data has already
been gone over by DR.. Claxton, and
he is in the city at the present time
to outline general recommendations
to the board. Additional information
will be required on the state school
for the deaf at Wahpeton, and on the
Ellendale normal, before the final re-
port can be submitted to the board OF
regents. DR.. Claxton will visit both
institutions this week and secure the
desired information.
DR.. Claxton has given his close per-
,sonal attention to the educational sur
vey being made in this state, and in
discussing conditions last night, stat
ed that the time has come to raise
the educational standards of the state.
The standard of the schools and the
teachers must be improved, he stated,
especially in the country districts.
"The educational requirements of
country teachers are not enough to
meet the demands made upon them" !"
said DR.. Claxton. "They work under
a serious handicap at best, not having
the equipment and the advantage of
expert supervision that city teacher
has" Few of the country teachers
have the equivalent Of high school
education, yet they are required to
teach all subjects, in most cases from
the first to the eighth grade. The cry
is made that country school teachers
are not paid high enough salaries.
"That may be true," he stated, "but
for the class of teachers in the aver
age country school, they are paid
more than the city teachers"
vocational training in this day and
age,' said DR.. Claxton, "is absolutely
necessary. The average normal school
not only in this state, but throughout
the country generally, are preparing
their teachers for the city schools and
not for the country schools. The for
mer really needs more education to-
day than any other man, and voca-
tional training must be given in the
country schools. Furthermore, he
stated, this training must be thor.
ough."
The state board of regents will be
in session for practically the remain
der of the week. The heads of all
state educational institutions will ap-
pear before the board during the
week, and considerable routine busi-
ness will be transacted.
DR.. Claxton will complete his tenta-
tive outline of recommendations to
the board this morning, and will leave
today for Wahpeton.
