THE PROBLEM OF EXEMPTIONS

Now that the registration is accomplished the next
problem will be the making of exemptions. This is task
to which cool Judgment and absolute fairness must be
brought There must be favortism and every exemp
tion must have good and sufficient reasons behind it.
Naturally there occupations that will necessar
lily be practically exempt Such railroad engineers
and switchmen. Telegraph operators especially code
operators now there being hardly enough of
them to meet the demands of business These en-
gagged largely in sending and receiving for the
press 1t is easily that the newspapers of the
try, large part of them will have to be maintained
for without them the government could not keep in
touch with the people could the latter keep informed
to things necessary for them to know to the
ductng of the war; and the affairs of the world Elec
tricans will no doubt be largely exempt and there are
many other calings in the fix However the great
problem that will face those in charge of conducting the
selective draft will be farm laborers.
One of the nations tasks is C feed in addition to her
own people, those of her allies. To do this will require
more labor the farms than usual and it is the ques-
ton of how to supply this that will require profound
study Farm labor is skilled labor though many do not
look it, and the taking of those engaged in farm
work will leave gap hard to fill The average city
cannot do most of the work. at least cannot do it as
well the who has spent years at it and whose
cupation it is 1t would from the conditions that
farm labor must necessarily be practically exempt.
AS it is there will probably be call for city men who
beyond military age to devote of their time to
farm work In Germany and the ether warning countries
the have largely taken the places of the farm
labor called to arms, and doubt this will be done to
certain extent in America before the ends. The
American will not be found behind their sex in
other countries in the matter of patriotism and the city
dweer will cheerfuy do his share toward providing the
food and comforts needed by the boys at the front Yet
with all this there certain classes of farm work the
tyro cannot do he do any of it well those
whose life work it is If muntion workers who load the
shells to be exempt they will be, then it follows
that the who load the men who fire the shells and
use the munitions must also be exempt.

OBEDIENCE NEEDED.

New York Sun: The habit of
obedience is unhappily too rare among
the youth OF this country. To this de-
feet in their education may be traced
much Of the inefflciencY and lack OF
method which too. often characterizes
them in manhood. Our American
youth stand in Imperative need of mil
itary training, which alone may incul-
cate lessons Of obedience, self-control,
disciplined initiative, and efficiency In
teamwork.
Every good cause thrives by oppo-
sition. The illogical antagonism of
the so-called pacifist brings into bold
relief the value OF discipline and me-
thodical life incident to military train
ing. One valuable result of their OPP
position has been renascence OF the
patriotic spirit OF our youth, who to-
day clamor for participation in the
various training camps. Never since
the last war has this vitalizing ele-
ment made itself 50 plainly evident.
New York state and the country at
large are to be congratulated on the
prompt and wise execution of the
Slater Welsh law. passed by our far
seeing legislators, under the guidance
Of Governor Whitman The early full
fillment by DR.. Finley Of the promise
Of the military training commission,
created by the Slater bill, that mill
tary training would become part OF
a later program outside the schools,
Is warrant for the future development
Of q high order Of disciplined youth in
our state schools.

North Dakota Agricultural college
representatives and local townSpeople
who had the pleasure Of seeing the
I presentation of the classic play, The
Vestal Virgins, Thursday afternoon and
evening, are proud of the talent shown
! by the playwright, Miss Abbie Louise
Simmons, of the A. c. faculty. Because
of the limited seating capacity of the
Little Country Theatre, where the play
was presented for the first time, the
afternoon performance was open only
to students of the A. c., with the eve
ming performance open to the faculty
: circle and townspeople. Both audiences
were of good size and enthusiastic.
The Vestal Virgins is an interesting
and marked beauty of lines. the scene
of which is laid in the famed temple of
Vesta, the Roman goddess of fire. The
action of the play was concisely but
Complementary explained by a prolog
which was most satisfactorily given by
Lynn Huey, an A. c. student prominent
in dramatic circles. 1t is based upon
the accusation of Tuccia. one OF the
service of vesta, and Introduces in
dramatic manner the customary ordeal
through which she is forced to pass in
carrying water through the streets of
Rome in sieve. Violation of the oath
of chastity was punishable by being
entombed alive, as explained by Mr..
aroused by the accusation, the latter
Usually being made by a slave. These
Vestal virgins took oath to serve for
thirty years in the temple of the god
dess of light and purity, their duty be-
ing to keep alive the sacred fires on the
altar.
In complete harmony with the.atmos-
phere of old Rome were the simple
stage settings and the costuming of all
those having part in the prolog ana
play, az well as that the fourteen girls
OF the Treble Clef club and their direct
or, Miss Edyth Grasse. The role OF
Virgo VestaHa Maxima, the virgin in
structress was especially well taken by
Mrs. Edna Sherman, and Miss Marjorie
Iceberg was very pleasing in her in
depreciation of Tuccia. The others TAX

lows:
