It had been the practice In the past for president
OF the board to select and appoint the standing com
mittees. The reformers folicitatod Themselves that
through those committees they would control the ac-
tiytes OF the Department Of Education. They did not
appreciate the nature OF the group that controlled
by Cooper
Their first establishment came when the reaction
aries submitted TO President Miller list OF COM
mttees and informed him that they would vote for
them II no would appoint them. In view OF the fact
that former presidents had appointed such committees
free from dictation President Miller quite naturally
and properly refused TO entertain such proposition

the Army Examining Oficers are in

give all possible emphasis to this

The Last Opportunity TO Become Officer.

This weekly news letter has been
issued from the headquarters of the
Eastern Department Of the Military
Training Camps Association OF the
United States. under date OF July z.
It is published at the request of John

I. Stimulating Recruiting.
There Is only one thing for us TO
do I'm the coming week--the last one
for recruiting for the second series
of Omcers' Training Camps. That
is. TO bend every possible energy 10
stimulate recruiting. Reports from
all over the country are TO the same
effect. that while plenty Of men ask
for application blanks and bulletins
of information only small percent
age, about ten per cent, are filing the
applications. The result is that so
far I'm many districts, there are ac-
tually not enough men. who have
filed applications TO MI the quotas
and there is no chance at all for Sc
lection or course, this will not be
the hnal case, but we need to work,
and work hard, to get as many men
as possible TO NE luell hppllcdlloun
so that the Examining Officers will
have a choice from which to make
the final selections. The War Depart
ment knows the situation and we
quote for your benefit the following
telegram received from General Nc
Cain. the Acknowledgement Of the
Army, which should be given the
fullest possible publicity:

WoMAN'S PLACE IN
INDUSTRY ASSURED.
From tho Iron Trade Review.
Wars certain toll is men. England,
under war conditions. has felt the
pinch Of a shortage of labor in her
industrial enterprises. In the United
States an increasing number of cases
might be cited where, men no longer
available, women have taken up the
burden OF maintaining essential pro-
duction. In a recent issue Of The Iron
Trade Review a glimpse was given
OF the situation as it exists in Eng
lish munition plants. where women
are doing mems work. in this coun-
try women now are performing a
! highly necessary task in the manu-
facture Of cages, without which It
would be impossible to conduct a war
such as the United States has en-
tered.
in a New York State plant fine ga
ges are made for testing high-explo-
sive shells. From the time the raw
material enters this factory until It
reaches the most delicate and intri.
cate stages, men perform all the
/ operations. The final touch, however.
is left TO gentler hands Tapping. a
nerve-racking and closely defined
task is done exclusively by women.
They have been found TO be more
accurate. less subject to nervousness
and more consistent workers. Hour
after hour their attention must be
riveted to one small gage. There is
an eternal sameness about every

lens to be met, no deviation from
the straight-line process, no belts
break to relieve the monotony, a
shutdown of power provides no mo-
ment's respite. 10 is a steady tax on
physical and nervous powers that
men cannot endure for protraoted
periods Due TO the war, women
have entered the toolmaker's field
long thought TO be mans exclusively.
There is little doubt that they have
come to stay.

The Council of National Defence, a
body entitled to the highest praise
for it's successful labors to establish
cooperation between the industrial
and commercial communities and the
Federal Government, is threatened
with disruption. If not with destruc
ton, by a paragraph in the food con
troll bill now under debate I'm the
Senate. This paragraph would pro-
hibit "any person connected with the
Government from selling TO IL any
thing in which he has an interest.
The members of the Council are held
TO be connected with the Govern
ment.' and as they represent the
great producers of materials needed
by the United States it would be
necessary, should this provision be-
come effective, for them TO resign
from the Council, or to have the cor
porations with which they are iden-
titled refrain from accepting Govern
mont contracts.

From the Iron Trade Review.
At a time when all major produc-

ton for the cue as how to align itself

try. the radically divergent views Of
Secretary Baker and Secretary lane
over the method Of procedure is
anything but inspirlting. There is a
wide gulf between the ringing praise
of the patriotism Of the coal men in
getting together and determining a
reduced price to the government ut
tered by Secretary Lane and to sharp
condemnatory words Of Secretary
Baker when he denounced the price
arranged as extortionate and unreas-
enable and the method of concerted
action, as wholly illegal. There Is
small wonder that reports from
Washington state that all plans for
business dealing. between the govern
ment and various industries have
been thrown into confusion. The con-
dition we'll describes the present
state OF mind of business in general
The President, already pressed with
many heavy problems Of war pre-
paredness and adjustments. will be
called upon to settle this new clash
Of authority in his own official fam

It is not so much that Secretary
Baker may be right and Secretary
Lane wrong in their positions or vice
versa; or further. that each may be
partially right. The slogan of the
country's war efforts is and should
be team play and cooperation. The
government is calling upon the bust
ness interests to give their best anC
unified support of its plans. Yet The
most striking example of a lack o

where harmony must originate. TIT
