CONGRESSMAN FRENCH TELLS
UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WHY
1T is BETTER

The advantage of the selective serv-
ice plan as compared with old vol
unteer system formed the basis of an
address delivered by Congressman
Burton L. French this morning before
a university undergraduate audience.
Mr.. French opened his talk with an
argument for the consistency of the
draft principle, saying that it had
been applied in our educational, jury
!. and tax systems and therefore might

army, as it is altogether consonant

Value of Bunker Hill
In his comparison of the present
method of obtaining men with the
volunteer system, the speaker ex-
pressed the belief the success of the
American revolutionists at the battle
of Bunker Hill had been responsible
for the nations faith in the volunteer
plan.
He blamed the old system, however
for the prolongation Of every conflict
into which the United States has en-
tered from the Revolution to the war

Call TO Thrift

One OF the first patriotic duties Of
every american citizen in the pres
en-. distressing situation is TO prac-
tice habits OF thrift. The longer the
war progresses the greater need there
will be for economy in all personal af-
fairs. The people OF Europe have
learned to practice lrugalty and
relf-denial to point that hitherto
was regarded as beyond the power
OF human endurance.
The women of America can WELD
= powerful influence in the cause Of
patriotism. The greater pai of
household expenses are in their
hands and they can. If they viii, ma
terialy reduce the wasiage that is
now taking place in this country.
Statistics recently complied at
Washington show that we are vast
ing 500, 100000 worth OF food in
our kitchens every year This is lust
one item OF the waste that Is taking
place all about rs in America today
Another proiigious example OF proilg.
acy lies IN the vast amount of waste
land that should be producing its quo
Ia CT food. II is still early enough In
the SESSION for much of this waste
ground TO be put under cultivation
Persons who have recently returned
from Germany say that not q single
foot of land is allowed to 80 10 waste
there. and substantially the same CON
dition exists in England France,
Austria and Italy.
The waste OF war makes thrift
more and more necessity, and
while we are building up our navy
our army. our munitions plants, and
otherwise effecting military prepar-
edness, it is equally essential that
we husband our future resources by
acquiring practices OF thrift Every
vacant lot IN every American city TO
day should be under cultivation for
vegetables, and every acre at all till.
able throughout the vast domain Of
this republic should be producing
grain.

property owner to see that there is

Our high school has grown so large
that we have had to give the seventh
grade teacher some high school work
this session. Her grade was small
er than usual and she had room for
the stall classes she was assigned In
her grade room for rotations. We
were fortunate in having grade
teacher in that position who meets
the requirements of the state ex-.
aiming committee for high school
teachers. Next year we shall have
to have another high school teacher.
The seventh grade will be very large
and not to be possibly considered as.
part time work for teacher.
The addition of another high
school teacher will crowd out an
other elementary grade from the
building and will require the finding
and furnishing of another room in
addition to the three needed as stat
ed above. We have, then, an i'm
mediate need for another school
building, containing not less than
four rooms. That will leave our
present building without further di
vision but still holding the audi
forum available for the making OF
two small rooms.
In the addition OF another teacher
to the high school department. !
would advise that this teacher should
be one for an additional course to
be added to the school. The teach
err could be of as great assistance as
domestic science teacher, agricul-
turist, commercial course teacher,
manual training teacher as possible
IN the addition OF another member
of the force to take care of our one
literary course. We need another
teacher to divert some Of our large
numbers and avoid sectioning OF
classes. Heretofore We have been
able to offer certain courses in al
ternate years but with our present
large numbers such economics OF
time are impossible.

department could be easiest added al

the addition Of a commercial course,
rather than the domestic science,
might prove more popular in that
it would reach both boys and girls,

science.
make thi suggestion relating
to the addition of an additional
course at this time because it will
cost no more than the addition of
another literary course teacher and
will lend added effectiveness to the
work offered by our high school.
The above will possibly provide
sufficient accommodations for all the
pupils who enroll in September but
we should be far safer If the audi
forum were divided by floor and
partitions though not seated until

SCHOOL BOARD

Perhaps at this time l should men
ton the difficulties we have had In
keeping up our attendance. The
general epidemic of measles that has
been spreading over our parish has
greatly interfered with the proper at
tendance. We have been especially
troubled because of the fact that the
people have very little faith In pre-
cautionary methods taken by the le-
gally constituted authorities. In Or
der to remove this lack of faith we
have been attempting to exclude from
any school any child coming from a
home where the disease exists. We
have also insisted upon a physicians
certificate stating that the child IS
free from contagion or infection be-
fore hey can be allowed to return to
school, am confident that it Will
not take many years for this proper
enforcement Of just measures before
the confidence in the public officials
will be restored.
