Normal Department to Open
Anril 9th

All children in Warren who will be
entitled to begin school next September
may attend this school, The teachers
Of the Normal department, under the
supervision of Miss Perkins, will have
charge of this school. Parents who
wish their children to take advantage
of this should take same to, the Wash
ingtOn building at a. NJ, Monday on
the date above mentioned.
Several of the high school boys are
finding it necessary to leave school
early this spring to help on the farms.
Those who do this must have those
who employ them confer with the
superintendent that we may know they
are really needed at this time. The
boys~should be engaged where taeN
may be of greatest service to their
country. In most cases. this is in the
schoolroom. hard at work. but in some
cases it is on the farms or in other
vocations where shortage of. labor eX-
lists. Where they leave school, ar
engagements will be made for them to
take examinations so that credit may
be received for the work. We wish the
farm job to seek the high school boys
and such will be the case. if they are
badly needed:
1t is hoped that everyone in school
may, before long, hold thrift card
and be persistent in saving the small
amounts for the purchase of thrift
stamps Parents! please remember
that you can find no better way in
which to encourage your child to be
saving: and at the same time he is
learning most valuable lesson Of
citizenship. that of patriotic service to
his country
Professor Martin, Of the Moorhead
Normal, visited the high school recent
ly, where he gave one of the best pa

time in the War Region and speaks
with full knowledge of conditions
there. He is also urging those in this

easily be spared from the home. There
ar many married ladies who would
teach much better than some unmar-

an advantage to everyone if the SER

not believe that a married lady should
be taken and the home made to suffer
as the result but there are numerous
cases where such would not be the
case.

the onslaught and most valiant and
glorious has been the defense The
Kaiser it seems is stalking all in one
supreme effort to smash the British
lines, and is sacrificing human lives
without stint A million men on each
side are engaged in: deadly combat and
powerful guns rip and roar continually,
their reverberations being distinctly
heard even in Old England But the
Kaiser will not succeed. According to
the latest reports the British lines,
though driven far back at many points,
are hol ding well and have not yet been
pierced. The tide of battle appears
now to be turning against the advanc-
ing German legions. The German
casualties for the week are believed to
be more than 100000. The losses of
the British and French have also been
large. Americans are reported to be
taking part in the great battle and
acQuitting themselves with valor The
resistance which has been offered by
the allied armies to the German
advance constitutes, one of the most
heroic pages in the annals of warfare.
The result of the battle is still in
allowance.
