ty of Idaho, made by our committee
ance of this office in acting upon the
petitions for advanced Standing of
undergraduate students transferring
from your institution to the University
of Illinois. g | take pleasure
in stating that the university has now
constituted a committee on admis-
sions from higher institutions which
is authorized to make ratings effec-
tive both for undergraduate transfers,
school, and that this new committee,
having reconsidered the rating of
your institution made by the former
committee on transfer of credits, has
confirmed it until farther notice.
II must call your attention, howev-
er, to a change in our nomenclature.
The former committee on transfer of
credits distinguished four classes of
colleges, which were designated "A
Plus" "a" 3d." and &C." Four sim
liar classes were distinguished by the
graduate school for admissions to that
department, but were designated "a"
B." &C" and 3D." For the new
committee on admissions from higher |
Institutions the nomenclature of the |
graduate school has been adopted: |
a." "B," &C." and o.. The term
"A Plus" has been abandoned, having
)een found to be inconvenient and APP
at times misleading.
"The University of Idaho is, there
Gre now carried in our lists as
College of Glass A, which is exactly
equivalent to our former Glass A
'lus."
1t is to be observed that the Uni
ersity Of Illinois says that this rat
ng holds until further notice" "Un-
il further notice" undoubtedly means
hat the present advancement and dis
inguished rating of the University of
IDAHO and all the other state educa-
ional institutions will be revised I'M

THE ART EXHIBIT

The three days exhibit, Sunday, Mon
day and Tuesday. of the recent paint
ings by Mr. George Schroeder was a
rare treat TO Shoshone. More especi-
ally as Mr.. Schroeder accompanied the
exhibit and gave three days of his
time TO a personal supervision of the
exhibit The entire expense Of the ex-
hibit, Including his own personal ex-
pense. were paid by Mr Schroeder
who donated to the Red Cross every
penny taken in as admission to the
exhibit. Mr. Schroeder says the Red
Cross is his religion and is only too
glad of any opportunity to contribute
Of his time and talent to its cause.
Shoshone has cause to feel highly
honored by having this opportunity TO
assist the Red Cross and at the same
time secure the rare treat Of an ex-
hibit Of the work OF one Of Americas
foremost artists under the personal
supervision Of the artist. Mr.. Schroe-
der's talks on art TO those visiting the
exhibit were highly priced by those
vho were fortunate enough TO hear
them.
The friends Of 8fr. Schroeder are an
pleased to know that his work has met
with such approval from the art critics
Of the United States that his orders
for work for the eastern markets far
outstrip his ability to I'll them and at
the same time the friends regret that
this demand for work is taking him
from their midst and that this display
al Shoshone win probably be among
the last few he viii be able to give in
Idaho.

A WORD OF WARNING

There is certain lady Of Shoshonf
who has recently taken numerous oc-
easions to make unfavorabIe comments
on all war activities. On hearing a
report Of the statements recently made
by S. s. Mcclure in his Twin Falls
speech she denounced them as lies
against Germany. She is reported TO
the Journal as having stated TO other
women that the Red Cross materials
made here were disposed Of to the
Germans. that the Red Cross work was
all right If she only knew our soldiers
would get the benefit of it-but? The
same person. either foonshly or by
design informed a certain married wo-
man Of the town that II she registered
for work with the womans council she
would be taken away from her baby
and made to work at some other place
than her home. Such action needs no
comment. 1t is told here as a news
item in connection with the information
that the Council for Defense which
was organized here last week is clf rg-
ed with the duty of investigating such
conduct, or any incident that in any
manner tends to distribute the seeds
of sedition. Frank T. Disney is chair
man of this committee. John Bradley.
Joe Wheeler. Thos. H. Gooding. J. W.
Newman. c. F. Borden. and ia. Kee-
fer are the committee for Shoshone.
Every case should be promptly re-
ported 10 some member of this COM |
nittee for investigation To fail TO do |
so is as criminal as it would be to
neglect to report cases OF small pox |
Turing an epidemic. A prompt action
IN the part of every American and
luick investigation by the committee
will soon sift out the traitors from
hose who are simply foolish about
editious remarks and the foolish
hould be taugh caution while the trail
ors. those who purposely distribute
his violent contagious poison of trea-
on will be punished. II
