PRACTICALLY CERTAIN
THAT SCHOOLS WILL NOT
OPEN UNTIL OCTOBER
Work on High School and Other
Reasons Will Cause Months
= ~ Delay "'

That the public schools. will not
open until October 1 is now practi-
cally certain. 1t was understood that
they were to open September 3, but
what with the number of boys work
ing out this summer, the uncertainty
OF the new building being ready, and
the fair coming right in the middle
of the first month, it is almost GER
tain the opening will be postponed a
month.
1t seems, too, that the war is chang
ing the plans of a number of teach
ers and there may be some slight trou
bic in filling the ranks of teachers
There are at present two vacancies
The one has existed for some time
and the other occurred the first OF
this week, when Miss Mabel Howard
resigned as teacher of the first grade
in the central schools. She is spend
ing the summer at her home in Sher.
burne, Mimi.
Work is progressing rather slowly
on the addition to the central school,
but when completed it will be a thor
oughly modern structure. The fact
that it will not be ready for use is the
big argument in the proposed post
pOnement of the school opening. ,n0t.
cations are that the war and the
farms will take large humble. of
the high school boys.

BURLE|GH BOARD
TO BEGIN GRIND
ON EXEMPTIONS
Claims for Discharge on Grounds
of Dependency Will Be
Considered Tomorrow.
SECOND CALL TO BE
ISSUED THURSDAY

The Burleigh county exemption
board will begin today passing on
claims for exemptions from regis
trants who have dependents. The
board today also will issue it's call for
second class Of registrants to re-
port on three consecutive days, prob
ably beginning next Monday. mas
much as the first class of 200 netted
the board about so per cent of it's
quota OF eligibles, it is anticipated
that the second call will be for the
same number. Burleigh's net quota Is
49, to which 10 per cent will be add
ed to allow for discharges at mo.
bilization camps.
'Burleigh will certify its first list
OF men accepted to the district board
tomorrow. This list will contain about
Of names, OF whom approximately
~ claim no exemptions and have
been Internationally accepted. The
number of claims for exemptions on
the basis Of dependents is not large,
and probably all OF them will have
been passed upon by the end of the
week.
NO opposition of any kind has been
encountered in this county to date,
and the draft machinery is running
smoothly, turning out larger per
centage OF acceptances than generally
was anticipated in view of the very
large number of cnlistments from this
county in the three national guard
units quartered here-Co. A OF the
First regiment and Co. | and the
Headquarters company of the Sec
ond-and in various branches of the
federal service since June 80, on
which date credits on the draft Quota
for enlistments were terminated.

THREE MANDAN YOUNG
MEN TO SMELLING
Candidates for Officers Training
Camp Accepted from This
City

Three local young men were ac-
cepted as candidates for commissions
in the national army to enter training
at Fort Smelling, Mimi, on August a..
They were: Walter G. Tostevin Of
the 'Mandan Pioneer, Italph w. Kel-
ler of the Mandan News, and Frank
w. Snyder, at present on the postal
force in Bismarck. Snyder and Tos-
| tevin took their examinations for ad
mittance to the camp at Bismarck
and Keller was examined in Iowa.
where he had been attending college
1t is understood that both Snyder and
Tostevin will accept the candidacy
for commissions, but Keller leaves
shortly for the south, where he will
go into army Y. NJ. C. A. work.
In the first series of officers train
ing camps, which ended last week,
two men we'll known locally were sue
cessful in gaining commissions. They
were George H. Russ, Jr., of Bis
marck and Attorney Robert Nicely of
Flasher and Carson, both of whom
were made captains.
Robin Seitz, formerly of this city,
but of late years emplOyedsin Mon
tana, will enter the training camp for
reserve officers at fort in San Fran
cisco.
The men who go into this camp are
required to report for duty August 81.
Their course is said to be an unusual
ly stiff one and those who gain COM
missions do SO solely on their own
merit as workers and soldiers. Con
sidering the large number of appli-
cants for berths in. this series Of
camps, Mandan is more fortunate than

able to place three men,

AMONG THE SCOUTS.

A scout Is a patriot and Is always
ready to serve his country Mt a min
utes notice. He loves Old Glory and
knows the proper forms Of Offering 1t
respect. He never permits its folds
to touch the ground. He knows how
his country Is governed and who are
the men in high authority. He desires
strong body, an alert mind and an
unconquerable spirit, so that he may
serve his country In my need. He pat
terms his life after those of great Amer
leans who have had a high sense of
duty and who have served the nation
well.
A scout, like N old frontiersman,
does not shout his wisdom from the
housetops. He possesses the quiet
power that comes from knowledge. He
speaks softly and answers questions
modestly. He knows a braggart, but
he does not challenge him, allowing the
boaster to expose his ignorance by his
own lOose-wngging tongue.
