TAYLOR RESIGNS FROM
REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE

Boise, Oct. SIS. D. Taylor has re-
signed as republican state chairman.
This comes as climax to his pub
lie Admission" several days ago that
he signed the name of former Gov
ernor Frank r. Gooding, republican
senatorial candidate, to letter adj
dressed to himself, showing that the
former governor would accept the
non-partisan league Endorsement.
Following threats by Governor
Gooding, the non-partisan league
produced this letter as evidence that
the former governor had courted
their support. TayloF's declaration
that he wrote the letter without
knowledge or consent of Gooding
was made within a few days, and
formed a minor climax to the episode
OF which his resignation is the de-
movement.
The committee has been called to
meet here today friday to name a
successor to w. w. Won Canon, who
withdrew as secretary of state, at
which time it is presumed new
chairman will be selected.

LA GRAND BARKDULL NOW
AT FORT STEVENS, OREGON

La Grand Barkdull, who went to
Camp Lewis last month, was recently
transferred, with several hundred
others to Fort Stevens, Oregon. He
is highly pleased with the change, as
the following letter to his parents in
dicates:
Yesterday afternoon / went out to
see the ocean and It was quite sight
to see big white caps come in. You can
stand close to the water and when
the big waves come in they look as
though they would go in over the
banks. The roar is so heavy that you
can hardly hear yourself think. We
are about two miles from the ocean
and you can hear the roar of the
waves quite plainly when all Is quiet.
We are on the banks OF the Columbia
river, which Ia so wide at this point
that you can't see across 1t. ! guess
the fort was located here, so enemy
ships could not go up the river. ]
would like to see one try to get past
here without being sunk. They sure
have lot of big guns here. Every
time go out see some new ones.
They won't let us take pictures
here or / wound take some and send
them to you. The guns we will be
practicing on are 12-inch disappear
ing turret guns. We have q fine
bunch of officers here; 80 much differ
ent from the ones at Camp Lewis.
They treat us like men instead OF an
imals, and are not so hard to please,
expect to be corporal myself inside
Of a month. / am acting corporal
now and was in charge of squad
coming from Camp Lewis.
We have good mattresses and pill.
| low slips-can you beat it? The food
is just like home cooked-so much
better than It was at Camp Lewis. Il
we had a chance to go back / don't
think there would be one out OF the
1900 who would go Of his own accord

HIGH soooL NOTES.
(Continued from paee onal

greatest present task is to prepare
leaders in citizenship for the times
that are coming after the war.
History ought surely in some de-
gree, II 1t is worth anything, to play
an important part in preparing the
American youth for citizenship. It
should give him true sense of world
values, a fine, robust idealism, and a
determination to live OF die for these
ideals. to do his bit for world righte-
BUSINESS.
To correlate this question of citi-
zenship with ancient history, 1t is only
necessary to study the ancient laws
and customs OF the Orient and of the
Greeks and Romans, and we see how
this great problem has been the pre-
dominate motive down through the
ages. For example, take the Atheni-
an youth whose education from the
very beginning was not only military
in character, but was such that he
could take part in the public debates
of the Assembly, and in the 1aw-mak-
ing OF the nation.
IN Modern History we follow the
history OF the nations of Europe down
to the present time. 1t Is interesting
to note the characteristic of each
country and to see how these factors
led them to take their places In the
present world conflict.
There is to be placed in the history
room large map OF the Western
Front on which the daily operations
of the allied troops will be noted.
These will be shown by the movement
of various coIored ribbons which will
represent the allied armies. This will
necessitate the daily reading OF news
papers by the pupils, thereby arous-
ing their interest In the vital prob
lens of the day.
The class In Current History is
showing enthusiasm In the study of
these problems. Using the Literary
Digest and pamphlets published by
the committee on Public Information
as texts, they are studying the Euro
pean warts causes, the historical
background, the government and Gus
toms of the countries concerned, the
character of the war, and America Is
part In the war. Not only are they
studying these problems, but they are
also discussing new inventions and
discoveries, and the acts of congress.
An uniformed American is poor
almost a dangerous American. The
young people of America must be
made aware of the great events in the
world. of the past as we'll as the
present, in order to make themselves
useful citizens OF tomorrow
