Deals With German Military
Work In Schools.

President r. A. Weld addressed the
students of the high school in chapel
this morning on Education and the
War. He told of Germany's educa-
tional system that Is built upon the
military plan with military spirit and
ideals always pTedominating. From
a study he made during a visit four
years ago, DR.. Weld said he now I'M
derstoOd why men were almost uni
versally employed as teachers in the
schools of Germany. He said the
training received in the schools is
largely responsible for the heartless
way the German soldiers are conduct
ing themselves in carrying on the
war.
More physical work, DR.. Weld said.
should be done in the American
schools and there should also be ele-
mentary military training Of the male
pupils and students. For the girls he
said the physical training will help
materially in providing the best pos
sible equipment for home making.

Wealth OF Material,
North Dakota high schools possess
a wealth of football material, in the
opinion of Coach Heinz, men who will
grace and star on college eleyens in
the next few years.
Picking those three teams was one
of the hardest jobs / ever tackled .
he said. "Sbme of the men had so
much in common that only their
weights paved the way for positions
on either the first or second teams
II never saw such a wealth of foot
ball material on high school elevens
Most of the men are good enough
right now to hold positions on college
elevens, and you can mark my pre-
diction that great many of them will
be starring on college elevens within
the next few years"
Coach Heinz was a football letter
man for four years at Missouri Wes-
leyan, and also took letters in base
ball, basketball and track. Under his
direction this year, Fargo high won
six games in football, tied one and
lost one, defeating both its old rivals
Grand Forks high and Moorhead high
for the first time in several years.

Sought Outside Aid.
Coach Heinz did not depend entirely
upon his own observations in select
ing his teams, but sought the aid of
other state high school coaches. More
than a dozen other coaches were ask
ed to assist in the selection by pick
ing what each considered the best
team, or to recommend players. and
give reasons why they should be Sc
lected.
The result was that ten coaches
had a hand in picking the teams.
Coach Heinz took occasion to
change the positions of three men on
representations made to him, Kaiser,
