mess, and the open air drills seem tC
 cultivate an appetite for saccharine
 conciCtions. At least my two per
 iods daily of cniiaiaenics affects mc Ithls way.
 ,. Yesterday afternoon, Madame
 Schumarn-Eciuk. the noted prima-
 donna, sang for the benefit of the 3t0th. She sang to us particularly
 as her son. Ferdinand, of Yuma, is
 "a private in the Headquarters con- 'pany. Our regiment enjoyed 1t
 thoroughly. as she sang simple songs
 which would appeal to all. Then she
 came to headquarters with the Colon
 el and Mrs. Yule, and after a social
 gathering with some of the officers
 wives, the Colonel asked me into the
 private ofpce to take several peH
 sonal notes from the Mme., which ]
 performed and read them back to her
 She was very nice,and said it was VII
 derful the way I could read those
 marks, and shook hands with me again, and I had a chance to tell her that I was not accustomed to reading my notes to one 90 renown- ed which tickled her very much 6. The time lost by the fellows in the office in drill, will have to be made up, as every man will be used and there is no such thing as & sine . cure in the army. 1 have so fal been been able to keep up both ends
 Of the work.
 :. Any stories about the food here should not receive too much credence. The food Is plain, bu,
 abundant. and no man goes hungry Today, we even had cake and ice cream for mess. I think there Is too much tendency to kick, and the I fellows should smile and make the best of little things that may be un
 comfortable And while it is true ] tha some of he boys had to dor ovcrails. they are correcting this mat ter just as soon as it can be done
 and they all have :wo heavy blankets i and a heavy comfort to sleep in However, the Arizona boys without exception. I am sure received a com
 plete set of khaki and CD shirt, and will, in few days, receive ths
 woolen ops. I think the variou.
 statements about the terrible condi l tions, as painted in some of the Hearst papers I have been so unfor tunate as to pick up, are absolutely unfounded, and while the boys were blue at first, they are now all gen erally very happy. and personally for illustration. never felt bette, in my life, and : am working very hard 8. I don't want to wear you out and I don't know of anything of in ] terest. l appreciated your letter very much, and wish to convey my
 very best regards to yourself. Miss Hargreave. and MT. Lassiter, and word from you will always be glad ly received.

 John C.. Greenway" Major Greenway, since the declara- tion of hostilities between Germany and the United States, has been anX- ious to join the colors of this nation. When Col.Theodore Roosevelt sought 1 to raise a division for service in , France. Greenway was picked as a colonel for one of the regiments. When the offer of the former presi- dent was declined. the Bisbee man did not cease to hope to he used abroad.
 As fast as possible Greenway com pleted several large projects. which he had under his direction; the most notable one being the starting of the teaching plant of the New Cornelia at Aio. Some weeks ago he left for the
 east and the telegram of yesterday
 dated at Washington. is the answer to his absence.

The recent appointment of Ma jor-

of keen interest to DR.. J. =. Rowe. pro-

he was ordered to active service, the

AS TO TAX LEvIEs
Nominee Was Not Accurately
Quoted Concerning
School Taxation.
Editor Missoulian:

Editor Missoulian:
Unfortunately the statement re-
Quested from me was so cut down and
changed in yesterday mornings Mis-
soulian that feel the whole spirit has
been taken out of it, and all the force
and vigor of argument. May make
the following points?
You have reported my conviction
that the councils Of the school board
stand in urgent need of the woman's
viewpoint; of the necessity of medical
inspection both from the humanitar-
business to try to teach children who
are incapacitated from learning by
physical defects; Of the fact that med
ical inspection does not bring results
unless there is school nurse to fol-
low up the cases examined; of the ne
cessity for vocational training.
You have omitted, however, my APP
peal for liberal public support for the
schools in the matter of taxes. and my
citation of Charles Lorimer in an edi-
torial in the Saturday Evening Post of
March II, where he states that at
least twice the amount of money now
spent on public schools should be
spent. III democracy is to justify the
best democratic hopes then every other
political question that comes up is in
ferior to the question of the public
schools for that involves the funda-
mental thing of giving every child the
best practical start and opportunities
as nearly as possible equal to his ca
pacity."
Moreover you have misrepresented
me in saying Missoula school tax levy
is next to the lowest of any city in tho
state. On the contrary, it is among
the highest. Butte and Billings have
a 10 per cent levy: Missoula does have
however, the next to the lowest city
tax levy of any incorporated city. ant
in my mind the emphasis on taxatio,
is where 1t should be.
May l also submit a suggestion, tina
In the pressing need for more room l.
nearly all schools in the city. that tn
Gary plan be given consideration
rather than that more money be tie
up in bonds to pay interest on in con
structing more buildings? Brief,
the Gary plan is this: Hire NOR
teachers Uhey are more valuable thai
buildings anyhow. use all your equip
ment. class rooms, Fairgrounds. audi
forums, all the time, in groups.
l should like. too, TO make specifi
reply to Mr.. Il. +. Van Wormcr. tina
apologize to no one for being in how
ever lowly degree a follower of note
educators and that ] would appreciat
support from all who believe that tn
proper place for a school trustee to &
for authority and guidance is iron

study of education their life work.
