COMING YEARS

letter received by Supt Thomas
Scott of the city schools he says:
MAY ask you also to call the at
tention Of the seniors, particularly in
your high school, to the fact that dur
irg the coming years we shall have
the greatest shortage in college grad
yates that the world has seen in rec
ent years. The universities of Eur
ope are practically all closed and a
large proportion Of their graduates
have been killed in battle. The par
t,cipation Of America in the war Is
ticking to the battlefield thousands
of college men and Is taking out OF
the universities many thousands more
who may not return to graduate.
Since high school graduates are for
the most part too young to enlist as
Iplyates, they should be urged to en-
ter college and devote themselves to
such Inns of work as will prepare
them in the shortest possible time for
special service to their country. 1t
would be better for them to give the
next two or three years to prepara =
ton in engineering, scientific and
technical lines and enter the service
IN these lines than to spend the in
tervening lime at work and enter as
rriyatcs.
May also suggest the desirabill-
ty Of urging upon these young men
taat they begin this preparation al
orce by entering the summer session
Similar conditions exist with ref
erenco to the preparing Of girls fol
efficient service both during and af-
ter the war, and they likewise should
be urged to remain In school and col
ltge II possible"

Speaking Of the affair one Of the
Molyn crowd said: III Bruce will
promise that he will not appoint
Little Brooks on the teachers COM
m.ttee, he could be elected. But he
will not agree. The people resent
placing Brooks in position to select
the teaching staff OF the schools. In
his campaign Bruce had cards saying
he was in no combination and after
the election said that he had been
elected without making any promises
or spending cent. Now he admits
that he owes something to Brooks
and Blankenship for the support they
give hlm-gratltude he calls it,"
On the other hand, the Three BIS"
maintain that Melvin is not fitted
fer the presidency.
Said Bruce: Il do not care what
they charge against me; I have my
idea about school discipline, and If

icusly in the future 1t must begin on

Inc at It's original strength. II was
formerly considered that an attack
could be successfully carried out with
prepondernnce Of three to one. The
experience OF the present war has
shown that a well organized position
held by determined troops can fire.
Quently withstand the attacks of ten
TO twelve times their number. This
Of course does not mean along the
whole Of the many miles along the
flonl of modern offensive. It does,
however, apply to all the strong
points.
Some idea Of what modern attacks
cost may be had from the fact that
the British losses in the battle OF the
sommer were around 10000 There
was a period during the defense of
yerdnn in which the French used up
sixteen divisions q week The In
fantry alone OF a French division
numbers about 10000 rifles.
Examples Of This War
This does not mean that the cas-
l.alties alone equal sixteen divisions,
but does mean that sixteen divisions
week we're SO used up that they
had to he replaced by fresh ones. The
war since the beginning furnishes ex-
fmple after example to prove that a
force of 100000, which is all that it
Is planned to raise at present is a
small one indeed. AS soon as its
training and equipment are well un-
der way we should start on another
million, and as soon as that Is start
ed. on still another Even then we
should expect and plan for tne time
when other millions will follow.
The total defeat of the enemy de-
ponds upon crushing his armies on
the battlefield. This can only be done
BY force much superior in numbers
and kept so by an unceaslng supply
! OF trained men and officers.
