Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 14.-N. G.
Macdonald, state superintendent of

letters concerning teacher certificates

Mr.. Macdonald says in this circular
that more certificates have been is
sued for the year just closed than dur
ing any preceding year and that the
increase is greater by 100 than the
increase in the number of teaching po-
%sitions, and that those securing certi-
ficates average with two years more
training and one year more expert
ence than heretofore. In order to
help keep up the supply. of we'll
trained teachers for rural schools,
third grade certificates CORNER first
plpmas granted by public high
schools will be re-issued upon by the
state board to expire sumo 80, 1921.
The purpose of this action is to bring
back into the service married women

in their schools and thereby release
the younger women for teaching else
where.

Mo. they did not know that they had

they soon found out, according to d
letter received here from Mr.. Curtis.
Two young Indians boarded the
train in Montana to go to Jefferson
Barracks with the boys, having vol
unteered in the good old American
way and they took along with them
plenty Of feathers and war paint with
which they intended to have some fun
and they sure did entertain the peo-

Canada Will Send
1000 Men to Siberia
Will Comprise Units Of Infantry, Ar
tillery, Mcdicals and transports.

Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 14.-The new
Canadian ex~peditionary force of 1000
to be SEN to Siberia as a part Of the
Allies army to join forces with the
Czecho- Slovaks against the German
occupation of Russia will consist Of
both volunteers and draftees. 1t will
comprise units of infantry, artillery,
medicals, transport and other branch
es of the service.
The Canadian force, with which, it
is understood. will also be associated,
a preliminary British force, will be
brigaded with the American and
Japanese armies under a central
command arranged by the Allied gov
ernments.
The decision Of the Canadian gov
eminent to meet the request Of the
British war office to send a force to
Siberia is a natural one. German &C.
cupation Of the Russian Pacific coast
would constitute a more serious men
ace to Canada. Shipping on the Pa
cific, now practically free from all
submarine danger, would be in peril
and in consequence there would be at
once a serious dislocation of trade.
Furthermore it is noted that postwar
commercial exploitation of Siberia
promises to be on an enormously
profitable scale and Canada will have
better opportunity to profit therefrom
than If all the work of saving it from
the Germans were left to Japan and
the United States.

his position today in the following
