In addition to the above ii credits
each candidate for graduation must
present one major in some other sub
ject than English and one minor in
some subject other than mathematics
A major is defined as three years work
in one subject and a minor as two
years work in one subject.
Wide Range of Choice
The advantages of this course are
three fold First, it gives the student
quite range, of choice yet at the
same time prevents him from scatter
ing his energies over too great an
area. Second, it enables the student
to be graduated from the High school
foreign language. Third, if
the student presents two years of for
eign language as part of his work
for graduation he will be admitted to
practically any university or college
in the country without examinations.
Active Student Body
Other things which might be men
toned as being desirable features of
any good High school is the student

room nearer to the homes of the prim-
ary children These buildings are
well constructed and equipped for
the purpose of school work. Especial
Iy so is the High school building.
Brought Down to Date
The past summer the heating and
ventilating plant of the High school
building has been overhauled and the
steam turbines for operating the VEN
tilating fans have been replaced by
electric motors. The reasons for this
installation were to increase the
amount of air sent to each room, to
economic, and to change the plant
from high pressure steam to low thus
avoiding a certain amount of danger.
Under the present arrangement the
air is changed at least six times an
hour in all of the rooms and in many
cases as many as 10 times per hour.
The High school building has we'll
equipped laboratories for the teaching
of domestic science, manual training,
physics. botany, and chemistry.
Domestic Science Strong
The domestic science is especially
we'll equipped. In fact, it is doubtful
if any other school in the northwest
has better equipment and this equip
ment is keeping pace with modern
inventions by the addition of new de-
vices as they appear upon the mar
ket- The course offers two years of
cooking and two years of sewing.
Work for the Boys
The manual training department is
we'll equipped to offer the boys two
years work in wood work. The in
structions also include an elementary
course in mechanical drawing which
gives the student working knowledge
of the plue print and enables him to
make blue prints for his own use.
The High school library consists of
over 1900 we'll selected volumes and
is being added to from time to time.
Ekne Course Of Study
Othe. particular advantages offered
the High school student should be men
tioned. First among these is the
course of study Under the present
course each student must present
go credits for graduation. Fourteen of
these must be as follows: English 6,
algebra 2, plane geometry 2, science
botany, physics or chemistry 2, Amer
lean history l. United States civics 1.

Active Club Women
Play Leading Part

In view of the important part played
by educationlin Moscow and the con-
tiguous territory, it is not surprising
that the womens clubs play an i'm

Influence of these clubs reaches far
out beyond the ordinary community
bounds.

their time and have made the Moscow

HOTTEST DAY IN TEN YEARS

The record for July hot weather
was reached Saturday afternoon, July
28th, at two o'clock, when the maxi
mum government thermometer of the
local U. S. weather bureau recorded a
temperature of 101 degrees in the
shade. Weather records over the
Northwest of that date show the max.
imum in many instances as high as
ITO. At Grand Forks the record for
Saturday was 106 degrees. R. T.

1T WAS "WALHALLA DAY"

Amid the throng of upwards eight
thousand visitors here in Langdon
last Thursday as sightseers at the
ninth annual Cavalier county fair no
section of the county was perhaps
given larger representation than
was our neighboring town across the
northeastern border county line, Wall
halla. Apparently everybody who
could get away was here. Had it
been given special designation, the
fitting appellation for last Thursday
would have been Walhalla's Day, ,
although such notables as Editor Lee.
c. w. Andrews and Jno F. Mager
were missed in the visiting crowd.
The Walhalla bunch, however, did
not return home empty handed as DR..
Landry's fast little horse, DeForest,
won the 2:2O event on the race pro-
gram in three straight heats. Another
significant coupe was the retaini ng
by VIM N. Wright of the first honors
in the farm contest of the fifth dis.
trict. Mr.. Wright has now won the
silver cup three years and now it ie
his for keeps.''

HAROLD COLLINS ENL|STS
IN HOSPITAL CORPS UNIT
A Former Langdon Boy is Leaving
Scoeby, Mont, Under Orders
for San Francisco

There are a number of Langdon
friends of Harold A. Col lins, who
several years ago came to Langdon to
take position as druggist with DR..
E. 1. Donovan, and later established
in business for himself at Wales, who
will read the following taken from
the Minot Inde pendent with inter-
est:
Harold Collins, druggist of SEQ.
bey, Mont, was the guest of DR..
Sempje several days last week. Mr..
Collins has enlisted in the service of
Uncle Sam and expects to leave soon
for San Francisco, where he will join
hospital unit which leaves for the
front at an early date. Mr.. Collins
is an Englishman by birth but he is
now as loyal an American as can be
found within our boundaries. Three
of his brothers have sacrificed their
lives in the service of England, one
in the Boer war and two in the war
which now deluges the continent of
Euroe. Two of his sisters are mem.
bers of the British Red Cross, an
other being obliged to retire from
active Red Cross service owing to ill
health. 1t is very evident from
this record that the Collins family
are all loyal and wholly devoted to
their country's cause. Mr.. Collins,
who visited his old home in England
last year, relates some very interest
ing facts which he observed during
his visit there. Mr.. Collins formerly
resided at Langdon and it was there
that the intimate friendship between
Doctor Semple and Mr.. Collins was
formed. He has promised to write
DR.. Semple and keep him informed
of conditions at the front.

ARCHIE Mckay PASSES AWAY

Many Langdon readers of this pa.
per, especially among the older resi-
dents will be surprised and at the
same time learn with regret of the
death OF Archie Mckay, druggist here
for some time with W. A. Ferguson
& Co. The passing away of Mr..
Mckay at his home in Forest Grove,
Ore, occurred July Goth and was
preceded by an illness of nearly three
months through which his wife was
in constant attendance at his bedside.
Archie Mckay was in the seventies
at the time of his death and half of
his life had been spent in North Da-
kota. Prior to becoming a Langdon
resident some ten years ago he had
been engaged in the drug busin ess
at Mimic, Cando and Williston. On
his leaving Langdon shortly after the
death of his partner, Mr.. Ferguson,
the poor health of Mr.. Mckay was
the cause Of himself and wife decid-
ing to locate in Oregon. Deceased
was cousin of Charles Chisholm of
this city and Mrs. w. A. Ferguson,
the latter now being a resident at
Portland, Ore. The immediate family
consists of the widow, two sons and
a daughter. The funeral at Forest
Grove, Ore, was held July 23rd.

RED CRRoss WORKERS

Mrs. Mahon, chairman of the knit

the yarn for the sweaters has not ar

all knitters to concentrate on socks

Mrs. Kessler, chairman of the sew
ing committee, has appointed Tues
day of every week as the regular
meeting day and asks all women who
wish to help with the Red Cross sew.
ing to meet at the domestic science
room in the high school building at

Mrs. Kessler also asks US to saw
that if a group of women, four or
more, can get together for sewing
on any other day during the week
and will let her know she will be
glad to meet with them.
Offense should not be taken because
of any criticism of the work as the
Red Cross is under supervision of
the government and all work must
conform to certain standard or it
will not be accepted. Let US then
make it as easy as possible for those
incharge of the committee to do their
