Hugh l. Scott, chief Of stafT Of the
army IN his annual report. IIasing
his conclusions un the showing OF tho
Of the fcderalized national guard
when modified for border duty aud
the fact that strenuous recruiting
, campaigns for both regulars aud
guardsmen have produced uegligIb'e
results, General Scott says:
"In my judgment the country Will
never he prepared for defense until
we do as other great nations do that
have large interests to guard, like
Germany, Japan and France, where
every body is ready aud does perform
military service In time OF peace, az

lection he gets and the country gets

man in his youth to become trained
in order that he may render etlicienG
service If called upon In war
President Wilson stated he would
not attempt To reach decision on
the subject until definite plan was
placed before him.
Secretary of War Baker said "the
question OF how to bring about pre-
paration for national defense is one
of policy rather than theory" He
added that since congress had re-
jected the continental army plan, in
favor of the national guard system,
he believed the guard system should
be given fair trial.

From the Press.

| Sut u hIene, Dec. IS.-By an
unanimous standing vote, the
chamber of commerce and its
several guests from various parts
OF the county here IN the interests
OF good roads expressed their ap.
Proval of plan suggested by L.
V. Boughton to have one of the
state highway engineers map out a
complete system of roads in this
county, with the cost OF each enum-
Grated, in order to more exactly
determine the amount of road
bonds which would be voted and
where the money should be spent.
Mr.. Boughton declared that
enough money must be raised at
this issue to build all the roads
which were necessary, as they
would be the last which could he
voted IN many years. He stated
that an engineer should 60 over
the county, map out every road,
and estimate the amount of bonds
needed 10 build them all. His
motion to request the state high
way department to send a repre-
sentative here was seconded by E.
c. Hubbard of Mica Bay.
Platt p. Morrow of Wallace
made few remarks, in which he
stated that he believed that what
the county did not need was fine
automobile roads, but that il did
need road, if nothing more than
an OK trail, into every corner of the
I county.
He invited the chamber to send
delegation to the good roads
meeting which is to be held at
Wallace Monday night. for the
purpose of raising funds and get
ting state appropriations to be
used in this county. The following
were designated as representatives
: OF the chamber to attend the ban
quet Monday night: Nj. A. Kiger
of Harrison, J, w. Bootke, X. S.
Nelson, ]. c. VIII t. and N. S.
Coventry, Of this city.
L. c. Hubbard argued that if it
took $685. 900 for the Fourth of
July road that theSI35, 600 remain
ing would not be enough for the
rest OF the county. He suggested
instead that each section of the
county be canvassed, and enough
bonds to cover the whole be issued
He offered a scheme whereby
the county would raise $50, 900
more than was needed for trunk
highways, with which sum the
county commissioners would meet,
dollar for dollar, the amounts
raised in each highway district in
the county. This is practically the
same plan which is now employed
on larger scale, by the state and
nation.
Neil s. Coventry, county survey
or, described his trip with Asst.
State Highway Engineer Turner,
and related some OF the difficulties
which would be met with in certain
portions of the county. He stated
that SOS, 900 was needed for the
Fourth Of July road, 5000 foI
the Ceur d'Alene river road, $685..
600 each for the east and west
sides of the lake, $40, 600 for the
Worley-Plummer road, which
would leave only SIS, 200 for the
rest of the county.
Hans Johnson, commissioner
elect, of Worley stated that the
, people of his district wanted
certain roads, but we're willing tc
t take what they could get, as lone
= as that were equitable. He sale

Chas.ss Stuebe, ST., returned from an
extensive trip to Northern Minnesota
and parts of Canada last Wednesday,
looking after the cattle and land business.
Mr.. ,Stuebe found the business conditions
of Canada in bad way, in fact there is
but little business transacted. The war
spirit seems to have taken hold of the
people to the exclusion of everything
else. Although Mr.. Stuebe did not ex-
perience any difficulties either with the
officials or with the population he says
that Germans in Canada have to suffer
on account of the war and those who have
been able to have left the country.
Every German farm hand in the vicinity
OF town is spotted and is ridiculed and
chided when he enters store for pur-
chases. The French Canadians seem
to be the worst offenders in this respect.

PROF. HESS HEADS
STATE EDUCATORS
rs INJECTED PRESIDENT OF HIGH
SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT
AND PRINCIPALS.
WIDE RANGE OF TOPICS is DIS
CUSSED AT STATE CON-
VENTION.

New Ulm was honored at the recent
meeting Of the superintendent and high
school principals of the state by Prof
H. C. Hess of this city being chosen
president of the organization for the
ensuing year. This organization is a
branch of the Minnesota Educational
Association which also held it's conven-
ton at the University of Minnesota the
latter part of last week.
The other officers of the association
chosen are as follows: j. B. Hagen,
Detroit, vice PRESIDENT; G. H. Sanberg,
Crookston, secretary and treasurer.
Among the topics which came up for
discussion by the educators were the
following: Superintendent Herman A.
Johnson of Rochester spoke on "The
Value of Cooperative Measurement"
Superintendent J. A. Vandyke of Cole
ranie discussed "An Experiment With
the Ayres Measuring Scale for Spelling
Contests Superintendent E. B. Forney
of Cokato talked on standards and
Tests in Small Schools" Superintendent
B. O. Greening of Eveleth spoke on
''Tests in Reading" and M. E. Hae-
gerty, professor of educational psyche
logy of the University of Minnesota,
discussed Educational Measurements. -
Each of the speakers used charts
showing tabulated results obtained by
experiments in their several schools.
A matter of interest to those interested
in high school athletics was taken up by
the superintendent and principals at
their meeting at the University, when
the $50 members of the organization
voted to form an athletic association
composed of the 230 accredited high
schools of Minnesota.
If the superintendent plans are car
ried out, all district, state or sectional
high school contests will be held under
the auspices Of the association.
The body will pass on the high schools
to play in the preliminary countests for
meets held at Hamline university,
Carleton, St. Thomas and other colleges,
instead of the college controlling the
entries. The colleges merely will judge
the athletic competition.
Certain rules relative to scholarship
and enrolment we're passed upon. No
high school student will be allowed to
enter any athletic competition unless
he is carrying at least four subjects,
and his current grade in all of these
subjects must be Is or above.

Several surprises are to be sprung by
the committee on arrangements for the
Commercial Club banquet to be held this
evening at Turner Hall. Just in what
form the surprises are to be handed out
to the banqueters the committee also is
keeping under cover. It is suspected,
however, that several speakers have been
imported from neighboring towns for the
occasion and that several local orators
will be called upon.
Tickets for the affair have been going
like not cakes during the past few days
and it is expected that every seat at the
banquet table will be occupied when
''time" is called by the master Of cere-
monies. The attendance will probably
be close to 200.

GYM WORK.
OVER ESQ PUPILS WILL TAKE
PART IN EXERCISES AT
TURNER HALL

Preparations have been under way
for the past several weeks for the annual
gymnastic exhibition to be given under
the auspices of the New Ulm Turnverein,
Saturday evening, April 10Th. The
director OF athletics, Prof. Herman Helm
has labored faithfully to make this years
exhibition the greatest ever given in the
city and that he will succeed in this is
predicted.
The training of the various classes has
been a laborious task, as it is not only the
overseeing and training of the classes in
itself that takes time and judgment, but
the working out of the different numbers
is task in itself little appreciated by the
layman. This year 260 pupils, ranging
in age from 6 years upward, will partici-
pate in the exercises and even this
number could be augmented if the bust
ness mems class were included in the
program. AS will be seen by the follow
ing program some of the classes are so
large that they will have to drill in two
sections because of the stage limitations.
Other classes will be large enough to tax
the capacity of the stage.
In connection with the exhibition the
Junior Society will celebrate the golden
anniversary of its founding and appro-
pirate reference to this fact will no doubt
be made by the speaker of the evening,
Capt. Steinhauser.
The exercises will begin promptly at
8 o'clock and will last about 2 IL hours.
At the conclusion of the exercises
Social hop will take place.
