Eager for Action? Get
Lined Up With the Marine
Corps--They re in Front

The duties OF a marine on board
ship include the manning of the gums
of the secondary and intermediate
batteries-the ships defense against
torpedo attack. and also the sky
guns"
There isn't much of anything in the
way of excitement or variety ashore
or afioat, that q marine misses. He
sees life on land and sea both. There
are now about 5000 marines sitting
on the lid in Santo Domingo and
Haiti. The marines led the way at
Vera Cruz, in Nicaragua and in the
Boxer rebellion in China.
Local young men of the physical re-
quirements described above to whom
this sort of service seems attractive
and who want to see action early may
well go to the U. s. marine corps re-
cruiting station at 50Sk Front street,
and have little chat with men who
are marines-they are not kidnappers,
they do not ask visitors to enlist UNI
less they feel like 1t.
No red blooded young American
who may be puzzled as to his patri-
otto feelings just now only because he
does not know where to offer his SER
vices can make a mistake by enlisting
in the marine corps-the cream Of
nobility. If he is a good man
the clean living, rational discipline and
association with fellows of courage
will make him a better one. II he
wants almost immediate active SER
vice the marine corps will furnish 1t.

NEED OF
BUILDING
IS SEEN
Speakers at School Meeting
Practicalls Unanimous
for New Highschool.

Declaring that the old high school
building. which was destroyed by fire
on the night of Dec. %. last. was unfit
for the purpose for which it was used,
and that the school children of Fargo
deserve the best there is to be had in
the way of school buildings, all btA-
one of the speakers at a meeting Of
citizens at the Hawthorne school last
night expressed the belief that new
high school should be erected.
The purpose of the meeting was to
give people of the Third ward better
information regarding the Fargo school
situation. Among the speakers were
Tibert. ]. w. Hawk. Mrs r. e. Weible,
Mrs. S. L. Sheldon. DR.. John Rindlaub,
Prof. H. w. McArdle. Dean f. e.
Stratton and John Frame. the latter
a member Of the board Of education.
Dean Stratton declared that Fargo
is away behind other cities, many
of them much smaller than Fargo. in
the way Of school buildings. and that
the old high school building, which
was partially destroyed by fire, was
absolutely unfit for high school pur-
poses. He considered that to repair
this damaged building would be money
thrown away. Mrs. Weible and, Mrs.
Sheldon voiced the same opinion.
In his talk. Superintendent Tibert
scored several of the older school
buildings In the city as absolutely un-
fit for human beings to live in.
In his talk to the residents Mr..
Frame gave review of the financial
condition of the school district and
said that so far nothing had been done
by the board toward erecting a new
building for high school purposes as
1t must be the people of the city who
will ultimately decide this matter, and
that the district would have to vote
on the proposition.
Mr.. Frame also referred to some
statements that have been made rela-
tive to the insurance money received
on the damaged high school. He denied
that the insurance money had been
used up and that the sinking fund had
been tempered with as it is rumored.
Everyone knows. or should know,
that along about this time of the year
school funds become very depleted
until the new tax levy begins to ar
rive. The board voted to make use of
the insurance money temporarily 20
take care of warrants drawing s per
cent interest. until the new taxes are
available. The Insurance. money
could have been put In a savings bank
where 1t would have drawn 4 per cent
interest. but the warrants would have
continued to draw 6 per cent interest.
This temporary use of the money vas
made to save the district money.
Now. since the new taxes have been
secured. ! am informed by the secre-
tary OF the board that the money has
been replaced and will be put on de-
post until it is needed
Mr.. Frame said that he believed that
the city should have the best school
building that Il is possible 20 secure

who has been interviewed relative to
making plans for this building. This
man." said Mr.. Frame, would make
a thorough survey and study of the
needs of Fargo and then construct his
building to meet the demands, not
forcing the demands to meet the
building after it had been erected"
Professor McArdle reviewed a little
of the history of the Fargo school
district. saying that the past boards
of education had only planned for the
immediate needs and did not look into
the future. Events and results OBJ
tanned have proven this system a mis-
take" said the speaker
The meeting was presided over by
A. r. Watkins. who called on a num-
Der of other speakers and threw
the meeting open to the general dis
cussion Of the proposition.
