Hiah School will Offer
Choice of Four Courses

Idaho Springs High School TINS
year four courses of study. They

course is a new one. All students
who expect to teach upon gradua-
ton or later will do we'll to take
the course. Any course may tit

+ Rev. Withers is pastor of the Sec

vice was held in the auditorium of the

COlOred Pastor Proud of His Race as
Scholars

SOIOlerS.
Rev. M. W. Withers is proud of the
loyalty Of his race in the past as SOL
diers. In speaking on the wars from
the text II Timothy, 2:3, he said it
meant sonnet hing to be Roman SOL
der in Paul's time. He carried prob
ably a hundred pound weight and
fought a hand to hand contest. It
means more to be soldier now with
our advanced two thousand years of
civilization and inventions of firearms
and apparatus of warfare, the most
dreadful the world has ever known.
He urged the six colored boys who will
soon 60 to the front to be good SOL
diers and above all to enlist under
Jesus Christ, the Afeat Captain of
our salvation. The preacher said:
II am glad to have floating over me
the American flag and enter into the
spirit Of our President Wilson to make
the world safe for democracy. Am
erica, as no other land, is reserved for
the accomplishment VI great ends to
my people through the loyalty Of
every citizen in respect to education:
obedience to law and moral character.
i believe when our boys reurn fro.r
this war with victory perched upor
the flag it will mean the lifting Of the
black hand of lynch law and Jim
Crowism in that South that is such a
menace to our people.
"Some of the first blood spilled for
our independence was the blood Of a
negro in the streets Of Boston. The
Declaration of independence means
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1918-03-14

that man has right to live; the right
to make his living; the right of ado
quate compensation for the labor of
his head or hand and the right to have
some leisure left in which to pursue
happiness in his home by society,
study and contemplation. One should
always remember that the future Of
the republican government depends
upon the performance Of duty by
every citizen. When we have done our
duty to the family we should see that
we maintain the state in good order
so that our children may enjoy the
benefits of government, just as good
and just as pure as that bequeathed
to us by our fathers.
"The great Civil War abounds in
striking examples of public duty prop
erly performed that the nation might
live, and we who now survive might
enjoy the rights of government of and
for and by the people. During this
great struggle over 100000 negro SOL
diers followed the national colors ir
the field of battle and few of these
devoted freedmen ever returned to
their native homes. They fell in open
battle and were decimated by slaugh.
ter and disease. Man does not exist
for the government but the govern
ment for man. Democracy means
generosity.
"In the Spanish -American war the
colored soldiers so won the admiration
and respect Of their fellow soldiers
that all thought of prejudice against
them because of their color disappear

Oppose Medical Inspection of School
Children.

The Minot Medical Freedom League
held meeting Thursday evening in
the First Baptist church and Friday
evening in the Salvation Army hall
addressed by Mrs. Lora c. Little of
Portland, Ore. The object Of the
league is to discourage compulsory
examination and vaccination in the
public schools and to secure the re-
peal of such compulsory laws.
The following resolutions, which
are intended to "start something"
were adopted at a meeting held Mon
day night at the rest room of the
First Farmers Bank:
eve oppose inspection of children
in the public schools because it is USE
less, mischievous and waste of pub
lie money. Useless, because it cannot
prevent contagion as is claimed with
out an inspector in every room able to
detect contagious, and if pointed out
will not remedy them, hence the re-
suit of inspection will be compulsory
treatment, which is intolerable in a
free country. Compulsory medical
treatment of children is an assault
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1918-03-14

upon the home and parental control
that cannot be tolerated. It tends to
spread disease on the theory of con-
tact, doctor becoming a carrier
as he handles one child after another,
also causing disease by suggesting it
to impressionable children. Resolved,
that the law requiring the medical in
spection of school children once a
year should be repealed at the next
session of the legislature and these
useless and pernicious officials elm
mated"

sacrifice should be made, who can gain
for the Government the full support of
our citizens and who knows and can eX-
