ADOPT COURSE
AS RECOMMENDED
SCHOOL BOARD APPROVE PLANS
OF SUPT. HENRY OF MOSCOW
SCHOOLS
New Requirements for Graduation
From High School Laid Down
Other Work of Board

The principal Work taken up at the
meeting Of the school board last nigh,
was the decision to eliminate the en-
rolment of primary pupils during the
middle of the year, and also the adop-
tion of the report of Superintendent
Henry for a change in the course and
requirement for graduation in the
! high school.
| In the matter of the elimination of
primary pupils, who are beginners
this step was made necessary because
of the extreme congestion of the
schools at present and because of the
fact that no inconvenience is expert
enced by patrons who desire to enroll
their children, since they may be en-
rolled following the beginning of the
school year. The plan is said to be
met with favor among patrons of the
schools.
In the adoption of Superintendent
Henry's proposed new course of study,
he received the high commentator of
the commissioner of education and
the university authorities, to whom it
was first submitted, in the excellent
standard fixed in working out the new
course The course is along the lines
advanced by the state board Of educa-
tion in standardizing high-school
work. The detail was gone over thor
oughly by the local board last night
and was accepted and approved.
Mr.. Henry had recognized the nee
essity Of more diversified course in
his voluminous report, but because of
the limited finances of the school dis
trict. had worked out one that is ex-
tremely elastic thus permitting the
school to take on new courses when
the finances permitted.
1t was pointed out in his report
that though the Moscow schools were
located in the very heart of one OF
the richest agricultural districts OF
the state. that it was only because OF
the excellent cooperation from the
of Idaho that it was possi-
Bile to hold such a course as is at
present given. The following is sec
ton Of the recommendations made in
Mr.. Henry's report:
sIn order that the pupil may not
scatter his work over too large field,
the following rule is laid down with
reference to the distribution of work
during the high-school course:
"All candidates must present WORK
in two majors one of which shall be
English and in addition, two minors,
me of which must be mathematics. A
major is defined as three years work
and minor as two years work"
Students now in the high school
nay elect. to graduate either under
he new or the old requirement.
The following credits will be re-
luired of all pupils who present them
selves for graduation in the high |
school: English, g. Mathematics, 4,
algebra 2, geometry 2) Natural Sci
nee, 2 Political Science, 2, (history
!, civics -.

ROOSEVELT GUIDES
THE BULL MOOSERS
NOT PRESENT In PERSON AT Ma
TI0NAL COMMITTEE MEETING
BUT GIVES ADVICE
Nation i'm Dire Straits, According to
His Telegram - Preparedness
an Issue
By the United Press Associations.

By the United Press Associations
CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-Asking that the
Bull Moose committeeman drop pure
ly partisan consideration, Colonel
Roosevelt wired a plea for prepared
ness. The national committee of the
progressive party met here today to
outline steps for the 1916 national
campaign, and not the state campaign.
Roosevelt in his message today de-
clared that the country faces a great
crisis and that the nation had fallen
far short OF its duties in the past 10
months. He didn't mention himself as
a presidential candidate.
Chicago, Denver. and Cleveland
were bidders for the Bull Moose ma
tional convention in June. Predic
tions We're that the convention will be
held June 21, one week after the dem
ocratic national convention at ST.
Louis.
Forty-seven national committeeman
were to attend the meeting today. A
task for the committeeman was to de-
eide how many delegates from each
state would be seated at the national
based upon the ratio of
vote in each state in 1912
A difference between the committee
today and the impromptu
that led to the bolt of the
7. r. faction from the republican par
Ly four years ago, was the absence of
Roosevelt himself. Victor L. Muir
dock of Kansas, George w. Perkins of
New York and Governor Johnson of
California, were mentioned today as
possibilities from the
Bull Moose standpoint. A full ticket
probably will be put in the national
race in every state, if possible.

POPE BENEDICT is TAKING THE
FIRST PRACTICAL STEPS In
THAT DIRECTION
COnfers With Belgian Prelate- Eng

By the United Press Associations.
ROME, Jan. IL. = Pope Benedict
hopes to take the first practical peace
step this week. Cardinal Mercier of
Belgium and Bishop Heylan of Namur
are expected to have an audience with
the pope to explain the Belgian terms
Of peace. His Holiness is convinced
that a restoration of Belgium is i'm
perative to preliminary peace terms
and is understood to have notified the
combatants Of this.
German Terms of Evacuation
Recently Cardinal Hartmann of Col
ogne submitted Germany's terms for
the evacuation Of Belgium. The pope
desired to learn the Belgian's views
and Germany readily consented to the
passage of the prelates to Rome. Mem
bers of the Belgian relief committee
of London are already here and it is
understood the vatican will solicit
their views. The pope plans to sub

promises.
England Laying Severe Plans
LONDON, Jan. 11.-England may
insert clause in the final peace terms
which will bind Germanys hands
against commercial expansion. Com
mercial experts suggested the inser-
ton of a clause whereby Germany
will agree to refrain from export bus
mess for a period of years. Business
men approved the war against Ger
man trade and finance. The board of
trade is inquiring into the general
boycott agreement among the Allies,
they refusing to buy German products
after the war.

COLDEST SNAP
OF THE WINTER
MERCURY SLID DOWN TO IL DE-
GREES BELOW ZERO DURING
LAST NIGHT
Absence of Wind and Clear Skies
Made it Less Noticeable North
west in Storm Grip

Moscow and Latah county expert
enced the coldest weather of the win
ter last night and this morning, the
thermometer dropping to II below
zero during the night and touching
a maximum of 27 above during the
past "a hours ending at this morn
ing, according to the university wealth
er observatory.
Because the air was clear and no
wind was blowing, few realized that
the mercury had gone cellarward.
This morning at o'clock the mer-
curry stood at below zero. There
were some reports today of frozen wa
ter pipes at several homes, but gener
ally citizens were anticipating the
cold snap and took the necessary pre-
cautions to beat the plumbers.
The heavy snow which had fallen
during the past week packed the
ground thoroughly and its resounding
crunching as pedestrians passed along
this morning was a gentle reminder
that the mercury was on a rampage.
The city authorities were diIigent and
had set their plows going yesterday in
clearing pathways along the side
walks of the residence district, some
thing greatly appreciated by the peo-
people.
Despite the cold weather neither
the Moscow Telephone and Telegraph
company nor the Washington Water
Power company experienced wire
trouble. With the sun shining this
afternoon, the brisk air was softened
by a warmth that was not: uncom-
Portable, but all indications point to |
another cold night.
