PREPARING FOR SELECTION
Officials Working on Impartial Plans
for Drawing Men for First Unit

Within few weeks the eyes OF the
nation viii be fixed upon the most mo-
mentous lottery in history.
In an obscure office in the land Of

Of lawyers, jurists and military men
is laboring today setting the stage for
the drawing that viii sift out Ameri-
cas- new armies from the millions on
the roll OF honor"
AS yet, the exact method OF draw
ing the names Of the first levy from
more than 100000 on the registra-
ton rolls IS unsettled. To hit upon
an absolutely fair and impartial sys-
TEN that will be invulnerable 70 poll
teal or any other kind OF tampering
is one Of the knottiest problems Pre-
sident Wilson's advisers have encoun-
tered
Already it is practically decided that
the so-ealled jury wheel system IS
impracticable.
The board has considered dozen
schemes 10 single out the number Of
men needed but most Of them. how
ever. lack some essential or are not
''politics-proof- and are discarded
Among the schemes tested and con-
sidered by the board was one by
which the registration cards were as
signed numbers 10 correspond with
marbles in basket. On certain day
the drawings were TO be held stimuli
taneously in the cities or counties
Whatever plan the boards rests up
on is TO combine the elements OF speed,
fairness and publicity. As soon as
tentative scheme is decided upon the
plan will be laid before President VII
SON
The war department is anxious TO
get the lottery ready so that the men
for the first levy can be selected ard
rushed into camps for training.

A SIGNAL Honor.

The Willamette Collegian, the week
ly newspaper of Willamette univer-
sity at Salem, Ore, says the honor of
winning the scholarship in the School
of Pedagogy of the University of New
York, achieved by Sam R. King, an
Emmett High school gradate, is a
signal one That paper says:
"Sam R. King has recently, through
DR.. C. L. Sherman, been granted a
two year fellowship in the School of
Pedagogy of New York University.
This is known as the Helen Miller
Gould fellowship and the ones receiv-
ing it are literally paid for going to
the university. Upon completion of
the two years Mr.. King will be grant
ed life fellowship that will entitle
him to go back to the university at
any time and take more graduate
work. This school of pedagogy is not
normal school. Only limited num-
ber of picked college graduates can
enter and only graduate work is done.
There are only two colleges Of its
kind in the world, one in Germany
and the one in New York City. Psy-
chology, philosophy and morals are
all taken up from an advanced stand
point with an especial emphasis upon
their relation to education. Mr.. King
will not be in the hands of the as
sistant professors but will be in direct
personal contact with the heads Of
departments and among these are
numbered some of the great education
al experts of the country and OF the
world. Scholarship, morals and faith
fulness of attendance were the three
things upon which DR.. Sherman based
his Judgment of Mr.. King and he was
found to have a high record IN all
three. There are only four fellow
ships given in this department through
out the United States"
