Allan Dale Americas foremost critic, has this to say of Nazimova in War Brides"
 There is nothing on Broadway that can begin to compare with War Brides, as far as drama is concerned, and for the first time in my life l doffed my hat to the screens! Nazimova has won, and won the very first time, and she deserves the most ardent congratulation. The re- turn of Nazimova to popularity via the films is rather an extraordinary event. The famous actress has been absent from
 our ken for a long time, and I was be- ginning to wonder what had happened. To be sure I had heard that she con templated producing several plays herself
 and this fact had given her publicity. But have arrived at the stage when I looked askance at promises that so

rarely materialze. After seeing war Brides I realize that Nazimova has round herself again. She still possesses the old charm and the power that held us when she first dawned Tn a word she has come back, and the films have returned her, The screen has done a pious thing -snmething to be thankful for.

PUPILS TO BE GRADED
BY SPELLING ABILITY
Bau Spoilers Demoted-Good Spoilers
Promoted - Literary Societies
are Named

Superintendent Utne is considering
plan to redistibute all grade school
pupils in the Morris public schools
according to their spelling ability.
If an eighth grader cannot spell any
better than fifth grader, then he will
study and recite his spelling lessons
with pupils three grades lower than
his own. The same plan will apply
vice versa. The distribution accord
ing to ability will apply only to
spelling, however.
Spelling is to be an important fact
or in the school corriculum. A GER
tain hour each day will be used by
all the grades for recitation, and
the tests will be carefully graded
and from these the pupil will be
ranked.
Supt. Utne has recently completed
several tests of the grade school
pupils in the Longfellow and High
School buildings and these tests show
a remarkable range in the spelling
ability Of the pupils. The tests were
made in the third to eighth grades
inclusive. The principal test was a
list of SO words chosen from the list
of 1000 words most commonly used.
This latter list was compiled by the
Russell Sage Foundation of New
York.
The result of this list was that the
average of the third grade pupils was
20 per cent spelled correctly. The
pupils in this grade varied from spell
ing 2 per cent to So per cent cor
rectly. The fourth grade pupils
spelled As per cent correctly and
varied from per cent to 7S per cent.
The average of the fifth grade was
65 per cent and varied from % per
cent to "a per cent. The average of
the sixth grade was "a per cent and
pupils varied in their ability from
IS per cent to SO per cent. The
seventh grades average was Sc per
cent and the spelling ability varied
from 72 per cent to 100. per cent.
The average of the eighth grade
was go per cent and the ability to
spell correctly ranged from "A to 100
per cent.
The two literary societies have been
named. The Senior-Sophomore So
ciety are called the Philomathean
society and the Junior-Freshman So
ciety are called the Minerva Literary

Biggest Parade Ever

The parade that accompanied the
selected soldiers to the Great North
ern depot Saturday was one of the
longest and most interesting ever
held in Morris. Many people mot
ored from the extreme limits of the
county to take part in the parade
Saturday.
The parade was headed by William
Hope, Marshal of the day and he
was followed by the Morris band.
The Home Guard, resplendent in
their new uniforms, marching at at
tention, were next in the parade and
were followed by the Morris Boy
Scouts. The Red Cross ladies of the
Morris chapter were next in the par
ade. The old soldiers and the lastly
the new soldiers followed in success
siVe order. The parade started at
the armory at 1890 a. M, and
marched to Atlantic avenue and on
the latter to the depot.
At the depot the Home Guard ex-
ecuted number of squad move

selections and friends and relatives

DISTRICT BOARD AT
LAST HEARD FROM
Certifes for Service a Portion of the
Stevens County List to Go Next
Time

The district exemption board has
finally been heard from and has cert
ified to the Stevens County Board a
number of men for service. The full
quota has not yet been certified, and
the next Stevens county quota can
not be made up until returns are re-
ceived from the district board. The
reason for the delay on the part of
the district board, reports from st.
Paul say, is that the Third District
board is taking especial care in hear
ing the claims for exemption.
The following is the list of those
certified by the district board as
selected for military service and not
exempted or discharged. A number
of these were in the first quota
which left for Fort Dodge last Satur-
day, and the others are those whose
claim for exemption has been denied
and they will be included in the
next quota.

history. Our hearts go out with
them, but we glory in their sense of
duty, and their manifestation of 10y
atty.
ITO the young men, in whose hon
or we are gathered, we can only say
that in their own consciences. in
their realization of duty performed,
they will find the reward to which
they are entitled. We will not for
get them, will expect much of them,
and will at all times endeavor not
only to do for them all we can, when
they cross the ocean, but we faith
fully pledge ourselves now that we
will do no act and speak no word
which will make it harder for them
while they are gallantly fighting our
cOuntry's battles. Through the great
American Red Cross Society, we will
keep in touch with our bows. and
every boy when he puts on a Red
Cross sweater or pair of stockings
will know that into it has been knit
not only woolen yarn, but a mothers
affection. Every mother who knits
for the Red Cross can feel that she
is doing something for her boy.
This demonstration, this gather
ing of friends, neighbors and rela-
tives, must convey to these young
men, our feelings of regard, and af-
lection for, and interest in them
better than I can express in words.
And as the time of your departure
draws nearer, we, the people of Ste
Vens county, join in bidding you
goodbye, and God bless you"
