p. m. Those in attendance were
Mrs. Effie Sweeney, president; John
Brevig, assessor; Geo. W. Penning-

John Brevig, the assessor, was
to have repairs made of
the slight damage to foundation
caused by caving near the well, and
to report at the next meeting on
The planting of the school grounds
in grain or produce of the most pro-
luctive and necessary character.
The board then adjourned to con-
vene in special session on Thursday,

RECRUIT STUDENTS
 AMONG COLLEGES
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, July 1.-The govern ment proposes to carry on a student recruiting campaign for the colleges and universities of the country, accord ing to a statement made tonight by Chancellor Elmer R. Brown of New York University. who has been called to Washington to attend a conference of educators with federal officials.
 Chancellor Brown declared his own views on the subject were based upon a recent statement by President Will son, whom he quoted as having said:
 My attention has lately been called to the falling off in the number of en- gineering students and this has given me great deal of concern. It is no, only immediately necessary that as many students as possible should pre- pare themselves for engineering duties in the army and navy. but it is also of first consequence to the country tha, there should be an adequate supply oi engineers for the period of reconstruct tion which must follow the war.
 "The role of the engineer has become more and more important in every pro- cess of our industrial life and I hope that influences may go out which will call the attention of parents throughout the country to the import ance of making any sacrifice that it is possible to make to keep their sons ir the schools even during these trying times"
