tric.s, consolidated and transporta-
ton districts or, agricultural high
schools, have been brought forward
IN proper code form. This matter
has been completed and has been IN
the hands of the education committees
of the two houses for some weeks,
which have given them some consid-
Grafton. Instead of consuming time
by considering each code chapter or
section separately, it is suggested that
all that will be necessary in the way
of floor legislation will be considera-
ton of the general or adoption act,
which has not been submitted as yet.
At the State Department of Educa-
ton it was stated that the educa-
tional code stands a good chance for
consideration during the coming
week.

Living, Not Dead

In the death of Roscoe c. Leonard,
the first of Dorchester's sons to die
in actual conflict with the Teutons,
the war has come home to the hearts
and minds of the people. Hereto
fore the vast ocean and the many
miles of land have made the war
seem a long way off, but now it is
right at our doors, and has brought
grief and sorrow to not only one OF
our families, but the entire COM
munity.
The name of Roscoe c. Leonard
is on the honor roll of the heroes
whose lives are given wilfully for
the cause they know is right. A vol
unteer TO help save his country, and
to do his part to make the world a
decent place to live in, Mr.. Leonard
gave all he ha6-his life, which can
never be bought or replaced-to help
America stamp out German ''kul-
tur."
He has passed up higher. Today
Roscoe Leonard is more alive than
many of us who walk the streets. He
will live in the proud and grateful
memory of his town and county
when most of us have been forgot
ten. He will exercise a living intiu-
ence as long as courage and self-ab-
negation count for anything among
men.
We cannot say farewell to the boy
whom we loved. He is not dead; he
is immortal.

American Women Endure
Hardships In France

How American women who have
been accustomed to every luxury, at
home are now enduring hardshipS of
the most poignant nature in France,
working in the cold all day in the
canteens, in order to be of service to
the soldiers, and living in unheated
peasant huts, is one of the stories
told by Douglas L. Gilman, of New
York.
Mr.. Gilman was a member of the
Commission sent abroad under the
leadership of John Sherman Hoyt by
the Executive Committee of the
Young Mems Christian Association,
to inspect conditions in the various
camps and canteens there. During
his stay abroad he visited forty-eight
American camps, twenty French
camps, and fifteen English camps. He
was in large number of canteens.
Nothing that he saw impressed him
as being more wonderful than the
way in which the American women
who have gone to France are cop
ing with the needs there.
He saw women who had never
done anything more strenuous than
to order the tasks of a dozen SER
wants, making old barns over into
canteens almost entirely by the work
of their own hands. He saw them
kalsomining not only their own quar-
tiers, but those of men workers who
