SYSTEM SCORED BY CARY
University Should Not Have Power to
Classify State High Schools,
Says Educator.

Madison.-That the accredited high
school list is an evil that should not
exist in Wisconsin is the declaration of
c. p Cary, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction.
mo state university should be al
lowed to put up the bars against the
admission of students who have had
four years of training in a public il h
school, and are recommended by the
principal as qualified to do college
work" says Mr.. Cary's statement. mo
state university should be permitted
to dictate even indirectly what the
course of study in public high schools
should be.
1.-THE accredited list is an evil that
ought not to exist in Wisconsin, The
evil is subtle and may perhaps be ig-
nored in view of the moribund condition
of the university domination. The evil
consists in this, that high schools in
some instances may still take pride in
the shackles that bind them to a
higher institution of learning, rather
than pride in being living force for
the welfare of the community

RUSSIANS CAPTURE
BIG PERSIAN CITY
Take KermanShah After a Three
Days Battle.
TURKS FLEE FROM SLAVS
Ottoman Forces Retreating From
Erzerum, Unable to Defend Posi-
tons Owing to Lack of Ammu-
nition--13,oo0 Captured.

London, Feb. 2S.-A Reuter- dispatch
from Petrograd says the Russians
have taken by storm Kermanshah, the
important Persian city in the neigh
borhood of which serious fighting re-
Gently has taken place.
An official dispatch from Teheran
said that after a series of battles in
the mountain passes the Turks, who
had been aided by Germans, had re-
treated towards Kermanshah.
Kermanshah is $50 miles southwest
of Teheran and has a population or
about 10000. The routes from Bag,
dad, Shuster, Ispahan by way of Ham
adam, and Suleimaniyah meet there
and make the city an important CEN
ter of traffic
The Russian operations in Persia,
which have eliminated in the capture
of Kermanshah, have had the local
purpose of putting an end to the ac-
tivities of hostile mountain forces and
organized bands of Kurds, and it is
believed they have the broader scope
of preparing the way for junction
of the Russians with the British ex-
peditionary forces in Mesopotamia.
Petrograd, Feb. 2S.-The resist
ance offered by the Turkish forces
retreating from Erzerum to the ad-
vancing Russians apparently has frit-
tered out on account of the general
lack of ammunition and supplies. I'm
able to defend points of natural ad-
vantage, the Turks are continuing
their precipitate flight into the fast
nesses of Asia Minor.
The loss of lshpir, which was an
important munition and food depot
serving the right wing, the Turkish
coast troops, and the left wing, the
Erzerum forces, further crippled the
power of Turkish resistance. 1t also
cut off main road communication be-
tween Erzcrum and TrebiZond.
About 1900 Turkish troops, 235 Of
ficers and 1923 guns were captured by
the Russians in taking the fortress Of
Erzerum, the war office announced.
The Russians also took nine Turkish
standards and large stores of NUM-.
tons, arms and provisions.
