new MANAGER
INDUSTRIAL HOME
Assistant Manager oflPrestor
Institution to Take Charge
of Discipline Of Youths ~

G. b. Hoag. assistant of the BOYS. IN.
dustrial school at Preston, Cal. has
been engaged as boys teacher at the
Nevada Industrial School at this place
and will take complete charge of han.
ding and discIplining the boys at that
institution about September 1. accord.
ing to an announcement made by Gov.
Boyle, says the Gazette. Mrs. HoaS
will accompany her husband to the
school at Elko and will act in the
capacity of teacher.
The board OF directors at the home
met at Elko last week Mt the call OF
the governor for the purpose Of rear.
ranging the teaching and disciplinary
methods of the institution. Prior 20
that time Gov. Boyle had visited the
directors at the Preston institution
and they had agreed to allow Hoag
TO take charge of the boys at the Ne
vada home under a leave OF absence.
Hoag also expressed willingness and
desire to come, providing he would
be allowed to have a free hand in
disciplining the boys.
The session held by the directors al
Elko last week with Matthew Kyle,
superintendent of the institution took
an unexpected turn, the superintend.
ent not taking kindly to the plan IN.
yored by the board. He submitted.
his resignation as superintendent, OBJ.
jecting to any other person having
control of the boys in the home. After
considerable discussion, however, the
board decided to withhold action on
the resignation until August at
which time the superintendent agreed
to state whether he would be willing
to retain the superintendency on the
condition that Hoag should be allowed
free hand in handling the boys.
Superintendent Kyle notified the
governor that he had decided to retain
the superintendency on the conditions
as stated, Hoag to have the exclusive
control and management OF the boys
in so far as their discipline is con.
cerned and the superintendent to have
charge OF the financial end and active
management of the institution. nv
Hoag is considered one of the oest
men in the management and discipline
of boys in the west. II is the desire
of the directors to make over" the
Nevada home along the same lines as
the Preston school which ranks very
high among institutions of it's class. 1t
is estimated that the employment OF
Hoag and Mrs. Hoag will make an In.
crease of about $65 per month In con.

To DESTROY GERMAN MENACE AMERICA
MUST PUT $4,000 A|RPLANES IN FRANCE

The following is from an interview
with Captain de la Grange of the
French Aviation corps now in America
and published in a recent number of
the governments publication, the "Of-
ficial Bulletin"
81 have spoken already" said Cap.
tain de la Grange, "of the great help
America can bring to the allies in 1918
by establishing allied superiority in
the air. We know that this superior.
ity would secure a apeedIer and more
decisive victory"
The captain said he Is sure that the
most effective and quickest way in
which the United States can help the
allies is in aviation. THE formation
OF large aviation section by the Unit
ed States" he said, 'is only n question
of money. II takes three to four
months to train a pilot. We have al.
ready seen how quickly sturdy young
men can be turned into excellent avia
tors. In less thar year n would be
possible to have more than 5000 pi
lots. These pilots would be trained
for the first few months in the United
States and for the last months In the
American school that Is now being
created in France, at Issoudun.
The important question is that Of
material. The experience of the last
three years has permitted the allies Ia
create models of military aeroplaneF
which fulfill all that is demanded oI
them-great climbing ability. great
horizontal speed, ease OF handling al
high altitude and power to carry arms
The American government has the
possibility OF building these motors
and these planes and OF giving them
to their pilots.
"If the government wishes TO, before
the list OF April, 1918. II can have 8
tremendous areo fleet. Suppose II de
cided 10 have only 5000 planes ant
900 motors. In order to keep thai
number OF aeroplanes always at tht
front II will be necessary to built
1000 planes and 1000 motors pei
month, viz: $4,000 planes and $4,000
motors during the next nine months
Therefore, between January 1, 1918
and December 81, 1918. the Unitet
States must build $4,000 planes and
$4,000 motors. This means great
effort on the part OF the American
