HIGH SCHOOL NOTEs


 It is hard to realize all the work done by Miss MacAfee on the various high school productions. Through her tire less efforts the glee club plays were made successes, she assisted in direct ing the junior and Spanish plays, and from all indications the senior and or atory plays will be successes as well.
 Contrary to a rumOr that has been spreading, the Annual will be out be- fore the close of school. The Republi- can job department, which has the printing job, is working day and night shifts thereby assuring the appearance of the annual on time. Because of a special method of going to press, it will be impossible to produce a second run of these annuals, so if you are not ''in'' on the first 750, you will find yourself without an annual.

Such club. which having no duties, rights or powers as peace or ganiZation, can nevertheless unofficial ly offer it's services to the sheriff of the county and if Officered and drilled as a drill corps, can be of invaluable ser vice if the necessity arises.
 State Training Camps
 (d) State Training Camps. Again subject to the limitations of absence of funds, it might be desirable to consider the formation of state training camps, say at Prescott. and Huachuca These could take care of the men of 20-26, for D month as already indicated under section E.

In this plan all men physically fit will be called upon for training service, ire spective of wealth, education or social standing, In this manner alone will ev- cry man be prepared to step to the colors at a moments notice, and sub ject only to the necessary hardening process, it will he possible in a mini mum of time to raise a maximum army NiItl q ID4llfnul0 Ol expense.
 (f) Coordination of existing organi zations. It seems advisable that 9 study of our new state law for military training in the high schools. as well as the new Defense Act of 1916 should be undertaken by the law committee Of the council Of defense. This is es- pecially advisable as the federal law provides for the organization of junior units. 0. R. C. and carries provisions for the assistance to some extent with uniforms. rifles and other equipment
 State Furnishes Supplies
 (g) Data ds to armories, munitions supply This should be obtainable from the state quartermaster. Furthermore, every motor car, and truck should be tabulated for immediate reference. Only part of this information can be'ob- tained from the secretary of state Also every draft animal should likewise be recorded with the most important points concerning same.
 (h) Aviation, equipment and instalia- tion Signal Corps and communication. This is a very expensive proposition, including not only aeroplanes of differ ent types but motor truck divisions, wireless and telegraph and telephone work.
 If way to finance such work could be evolved 1t would be of assistance to our forces in the field in that at least partially trained men could be prepared for the more advanced work of the ar my schools. Or it might be possible to devise some scheme by which men desiring this training could be sent to one of the civilian schools now in op- er2tion. This work should be organ ized at the earlies possible date. To Train Women
 l would further suggest the possible desirability of training some, possibly women, in camp and field cooking, so that our soldiers might not only be properly fed, but that The tremendous waste noticed in the early days with the English army might be prevented
 1 would also suggest the cataloging Of telephone, telegraph and wireless op- orators and the instruction of others especially women in these lines.

Despite change Of administrati0n in the state of Utah, it is apparent that even politics, which rules many things not properly within it's range, could not displace Horace $. Ensign, the efficient secretary of the state fair of Utah.

To Encourage EnIisting


 (a) Announcement of enlistment. This question seems to be about solved by congressional action in the un doubted passage of a selective con- scription act in the very near future. To my mind this is the only logical man ner of treating this proposition. It will mean first that the patriotism and sentiment of our young manhood will not be permitted to be exploited by those less patriotic, but none the less indebted to this government and its institutions. who would otherwise re- main at home, profiting in many ln- Stances by the absence of those Volun- teering to serve with the colors. Sec ondly, it will mean that many whose greatest duty can be fulfilled in indus trial lines will be refused enlistment. Thirdly, it will prevent the marching away only of those most patriotlcaliy minded, leaving behind those less pat riOtic or even unpatriotic, as well as those that might be traitors, to control or at least influence government and public opinion to an increased degree. have constantly and consistently urged enlistment in the army, navy, marine corps and national guard, and particu larly the attendance of those qualified at the training camps this summer as well as entrance into the officers re- serve corps.
 (b) Training additional forces. It ap- pears to me that provided funds can be raised, it would be highly desirable fol junior camp to be established. for eX- ample at Oracle, where for two to three months as many boys of 16 to Is could be obtained should be subjected tC fairly strict military discipline, routine and training. Possibly non -commis- stoned officers from the U. of A. anC | normal battalions could be obtained tC assist in this work.

Yesterday was the thirty-sixth ami
versary of the assassination of Presi-
dent James A. Garfield. Charles Jules

dent on the forenoon of July 2, 1881
One of these struck the President in
the back and he fell to the floor Of the
waiting room Of the old Baltimore and
Potomac railroad station. Physicians
were called and he was removed to the
White House. The bullet had grazed
the liver and lodged in the front wall
Of the abdomen. 1t was believed by the
surgeons that the wound might not
prove mortal, but it was considered in
advisable to attempt the removal of
the bullet. Various bulletins from the
dent might recover, and July 10 Gov.
Foster Of Ohio suggested to the gov
errors of all the states the appoint
ment of a general day of thanksgiving
for the Presidents escape from death
and the prospect of his speedy re-
covery. In several states the sugges-
ton was acted on. The first serious re-
lapse occurred July 49,
september he was removed to Long
Branch, the cottage of c. J. Francklyn,
IN Elberon Park. having been prepared
for his reception. Nearly a mile of rail-
road track was laid to carry his car
close to the Francklyn cottage. The
bulletins varied from a hopeful to a
hopeless tone. September 16 there was
a serious relapse. and at 1895 o'clock
on the night of September 10 the Presi-
dent died.
The body lay in the EIberon cottage
until Wednesday. September FL. On that
day 1t was brought to Washington.
There was an imposing funeral escort
and the body was borne to the rotunda
OF the Capitol. where 1t lay in state On
the afternoon of September 23, after i'm
pressfve ceremonies at the Capitol, the
body was taken to the Baltimore and
fotomac station, and at 5 o'clock the
funeral train began it's journey to CIeve-
land. There. on the Gath. the body was
placed in state on a catafalque beneath
a pavilion erected for the purpose in
the center Of Monumental Park. On the
18TH the body was deposited in a tomb
IN Lake View cemetery. there to await
nnal 1nterment. The day Of the funeral
was observed throughout the country
as day of mourning.
Guiteau was hanged at the District
1a1! June 80. 1882. An autopsy was made
under direction of DR.. D. S. Lamb in
the presence Of a number of physicians
and the result of the examination Of
the assassin's brain was that some
deviations were shown from the nor
NAL brain, but they have absolutely no
slsnihcance from the point of view Of
mental arrangement"

WANTED TO SEE PRESIDENT.
]. T. Lasher Is Taken to Washington
Asylum for Observation.

James Turney Lasher, twenty-three
years old. was the name given by a
stranger in the city who wanted two
policemen to accompany him to the
White House yesterday afternoon and
arrest the President, declaring Presi-
dent Wilson had been elected unlaw-
fully.
Incidentally the young man said he
had been told by the Lord that he
would smite with scarlet fever all per-
sons who are promoting British inter-
ests. Another thing he told the police
was that secret societies have been
making public his dreams, and all of
them. he said, had come to pass.
Lasher said he came here from Pacific
Grove. Monterey county, Cal, to see the
President He expressed disappointment
because of his failure to get an audience
with the President. and asked that his
plans not be made public. He was
taken to Washington Asylum Hospital
for observation as to his mental con-
dition.
