CHAPEL
EXERCISES AT
NORMAL SCHOOL

The first formal chapel exercises of
the fall term at the Moorhead Normal
school occurred this morning at 1880.
The entire school and members of the
faculty were present. President Weld
welcomed the new members of the
faculty and the new students. He
then spoke at length to the school
upon the obligation of teachers ana
citizenship. He referred to the mani
fold obligations that a student is un-
der to the state, TO the school, and
greatest of all. to ones self. The i'm
portanCe of keeping on good terms
with ones self was made emphatic
and significant. President Weld called
attention TO the loss of attendance in
all schools throughout the country.
He said: Wisconsin university de-
clares a shortage OF so per cent In at
tendance, Minnesota university pre-
diets a shortage OF 40 to SO per cent,
and many normal schools report A
loss in attendance from 10 to 80 per
cent. This shortage Of young men in
our schools means that woman's
world will steadily broaden during
the next few years. Important posi-
tiOns in public school work. formerly
held by men, must be filled by women.
Already calls have come to me to rec
Ommend women for important pTinci-
palships of schools. The obligations
resting upon the woman student to-.
day were never so great in the his
tory OF our country. w omen must
give serious thoughts to those things
working for the welfare of the men
who are going out from our commun-
tiles into the service of the United
States. Americanization of the for
eiEner. too, will hold the earnest at.
tention OF all good citizens in the
years to come"
President Weld spoke of the neces-I
sity Of subOTdinating social activities

motions. He urged the school to take
an active part in all matters pertain
ing to relief work. In closing DR..
Weld said: Your future as students

before you like a block of unwrought
marble. You can work it into what
you will. Neither heredity, nor en-
vironment. nor any obstacles placed
before you by human ingenuity, can
keep you from going straight to sue

firm, driving determination, and have
health and intelligence. The power
of initiative brings things to pass.

German and Russian troops along the

nalist. The usual daily visits were
going on, he says, and all was peace
full when the Russians suddenly be-
gan firing furiously from one section
of their trenches. A German officer
ran over and called out Indignantly,
What do you mean by shooting with
ball cartridges?"
A Russian officer explained apollo

up for inspection, but he'll be going

When the Associated Press CORE

major told how one of his officers was
shot through the leg while walking
in front of the trenches at a time
when, by the custom of that period,
neither side was supposed to fire. He

to shoot.
