when the officers were lined up
there were forty two Austrians and
two Germans. The Austrians we're
told they would receive the usual
treatment given officers and gentle
men but the two Germans were told
plainly that they would receive ex-
actly the same treatment given
French officers in Germany. The
group OF Austrian officers was inn
pressed greatly at this and openly
declared their hatred of>the Germans.
A little later we heard the Austrian
soldiers cheering and ii turned out
they were cheering their French cap
tors.
"The success shows the necessity
for trained troops, as unframed
troops could not possibly have Sc
cured such results. 1t was exactly the
same as getting '15 per cent on your
money instead Of 2 per cent.
THE spirit and enthusiasm Of the
French troops as they leaped into the
enemy trenches is beyond all praise.
Their earnestness not only carried
them into the trenches but actually
far beyond them Some detachments
kept on going until they reached the
upper Piave back of the lines held
by the enemy They found deserted
villages and little evidence of enemy
occupation and could have held this
advanced position back Of the enemy
lines. But it was beyond the objec-

empetuous attachments were ordered
to retire. But it showed what en-
thusiasm can do in forcing wedge

EDUCATION WILL
GET ATTENTION
OF LEGISLATURE
Capitalization of Both
State and County School
Work is Proposed
BACKED BY RURAL
SCHOOL OFFICERS
Resolutions Adopted at Re
cent Rallies Indicate Ad-
ministration Program

Resolutions that were presented
and edopted at the various county
educational rallies recently held in
North Dakota under the direction of
the state department of public in
struction, of which N. C.. Macdonald
is the head, will become the basis
for the legislative program as af-
fecting rural and graded schools in
1919, according to the present OUT
look.
A number of the points presented
in the resolutions were before the
last state legislature, in various
forms, but failed of enactment, the
most essential OF these being the
concentration into the hands of the
state superintendent of public in
struction OF more extended powers
and duties than now possessed by
him.
The program as relates to the So
called centraliZing process is
specifically set forth in the following
paragraphs that formed a part, in
substance or otherwise, of the
resolutions so generously adopted by
the school officers and teachers Of
the state:
1.-THE centralizing process must
proceed not only from the small
district to the larger township
unit, but to the county plan of
organization. There should be a
county board of education for
the administration of the rural
and small town schools, those not
coming up to specified standards.
This would bring uniform school
taxation, uniform terms, and uni
form school standards, generally.
The county board Of education
should have the power OF APP
pointing the county superintend-
ent and his assistants; and with
his cooperation they should
administer all the schools Of the
county except the independent
city systems.
I'm a similar way there should
be a unified state board Of educa-
ton and administration, with a
commissioner Of education, who
would bear the same relation to
the state board that the county
superintendent does to the coun-
ty board Of education.
Every county board Of educa-
ton should have a bureau for
the placing OF teachers; and
there should be a corresponding
board under the state board. In
connection with this there should
be a department Of research and
statistics, with an expert
statistician at its head"
