FROM REPORT OF STATE SUPERINTEND-
ENT OF SCHOOLS.

That there is great need of a second normal
school in Montana there can be no doubt. It is a
well-established fact that normal schools draw
their students largely from within a radius of
comparatively few miles. For example, SAT- per
cent of the alumni of the 1917 and 1918 classes of
the Dillon normal school come from Beaverhead
and the four adjacent counties, and only 20.7 per
cent of the members came from the eastern half
of the state. AS the majority of the students
return to their home towns or home counties to
teach, the state has failed to do it's duty by the
children in other parts of the state.
In most states the establishment of normal
schools has paralleled the general educational con-
ditions and educational policies of the state, con-
sequently in states like Michigan, California and
Wisconsin we find strong normal school systems.
In other states, such as those of the south, the
development of normal schools has been retarded,
paralleling in this respect the development of
general educational conditions. The recent in
tense revival of educational progress in these
sections, however, is generally p~araleled by SINH
lar interest in normal school education.

attended the normal at Dillon. In these eight
counties are represented approximately 10000
people. The statistics show that eastern Montana
is entirely without facilities for higher education
unless pupils go to Minot, North Dakota, which is
easier of access than Dillon.
There are about 800 active teachers in these
eight counties and about 1000 teachers who are
holding down homesteads. A census taken during
the teachers institute in 1916 estimated that

merce at Glasgow, and many other like agencies
in this section, the need Of such an educational
institution has been brought to the attention Of
the legislators of the state. The city of Glasgow
has laid out a desirable and suitable site consist
ing Of more than 10 acres of land which would be

could be thus begun as soon as the appropriations
were made for the teaching force, while appro-
pirate buildings were being planned and erected.
This would save a year of valuable training for
those of our population who have been deprived of
this opportunity for so long.

ical point for it's erection.
The indications for the future development
of northern Montana are most favorable and this
argument is one that the forward looking legisla-
tors of the state should carefully consider in ma
king their decision for the establishing of an adj
ditional normal.
The territory that the proposed normal school
for Glasgow would serve is large and would meet
the necessary needs of the district served in a
most satisfactory manner.

DEATH TOLL FROM
 INFLUENZA IN PORTO
 RICO VERY LARGE

SAN JUAN, Jan. 23-Five thou sand deaths, the Department of Sani- tation fears, will be the toll taken by influenza in Porto Rico. More than 5000 deaths it is estimated, have already occurred and the Act ing Commissioner, Dr. Fonty Guillot, believes that in spite of every effort that will be made from 1,500 to g. 900 more may be expected.
 At the same time Dr. Front an. nounces that the reports received at headquarters from the Island show that the epidemic is steadily decreas- ing. Recently thfre had been a de- crease of approximately 25 per cent One hundred and twenty-five thou sand cases is given by the acting commissioner as an estimate of the number of persons in Porto Rico at tackled by influenza and he points out that 5000 deaths cannot be re- garded as a very bad record.

PREPARE PLANS FOR ROOSEVELT
 MEMORIAL HERE
Committee Holds Its First Meeting; National Coun- oil of Defense Pays
 High Tribute.

The committee appointed to make arrangements for a memorial serv- ice for the late President Roosevelt in Juneau, February g, 1919, met yesterday afternoon at the office of Secretary of the Territory and Act ing Gov. Charles E. Davidson. It was tentatively agreed that the services will consist of a few short speeches and music.
 The committee was named by the Territorial Council of Defense in re- sponse to the following telegram from the Council of National De- fense at Washington, D. C.:
 Tribute to Roosevelt.
 Washington, D. C., Jan. IS, 1919. Territorial Council of Defense, Juneau, Alaska:
 By direction of the Secretary of War, as the chairman of the Coun- cil of National Defense, I request all State, County, Community and Municipal Councils of the Defense, comprising the 1S4 1000 units of the Council of Defense system, to do everything possible to make sue cessful the nationwide arrangements for memorial services to be held si- multaneously on February 9, 1919, the date of the proposed memorial service in Congress. It is asked that you place yourself in contact with the Governor of your Territory, who has already received a telegram tol this end, for a nonpartisan commit tee of prominent ictizens.
 Because of the particularly non partisan character of the great Council of Defense system, it is singularly fitting that the foregoing action should be taken. The hon. bring of Theodore Roosevelt is a matter that transcends party belief and personal prejudice. He lived greatly for America, and that is enough to justify even those who op- posed him in mourning his death With iron courage he performed a major operation on the public nor als of his country at a time when public ethics had become dulled, and with daring and unfailing dig nifty he measurably increased the prestige of Americans abroad. of no American can it be more truth fully said that his heart was incar nadined with the flag. For these things alone all American who lived in his time should hold themselves in his debt, and should turn aside on the ninth day of Feburay to hon. or his passing from the National State Please advise what steps you take.

 s "GROVESNOR B. GARRISON,

 tional Defense"
 The members of the committed consist of Acting Governor Charles E. Davidson, John Rustgard and John w. Troy.

COMMITTEEMAN
 VOTE FOR SULZER
 IN CONTEST CASE
Two Members of Elections Commit tee Vote Against Wick ersham; One Does
 Not Vote.

The Congressional Record shows that two members of Elections Committee No. 1, which investigated the contest case of Wickersham against Sulzer, voted for former Delegate Charles A. Sulzer in the House of Representa- tives on the motion to recommit the report to the Committee. That was the motion, offered by Representative Burnett of Alabama, on which the two sides measured strength. The fi- nal vote on this motion, counting pairs, was 159 for Sulzer and PA for Wickersham.
 Those members of the Elections Committee who voted for MT. Sulzer were Representative Joe H. Eagle of Texas, the ranking Democratic mem Der, and Representative Albert F. Polk of Delaware. The member who refused to vote was Representative l.. D. Robinson of North Carolina.
 Republicans For SuIzer
 Two Republican members of the Committee on Territories, Represen- tative Charles F. Curry of California, said to be slated for the. Chairman ship of the Territories Committee in the next Congress, and Representa- tive Ernest Lundeen of Minnesota voted for Mir Sulzer All the Demo cratic members of that committee except Representative William c. Houston of Tennessee, who will not be a member of the next Congress, voted for MT. Sulzer.
 Representative John F. Miller, Re publican. who represents Seattle in Congress, voted for MT. Sulzer.
 Prohbitionists For SuIzer
 Representative Charles H. Randall Of California, the only Prohibition Party member in Congress, voted for the motion to. recommit.
 Meyer London of New York, the only Socialist member of the House voted for Judge Wickersham.
 Pleas For Committee Win Fight
 It is conceded that the pleas ol the members for the House to stand By its committee was the cause fol Wickersham's success, and not the arguments set forth on the merits o the case. A very great majority o those who heard the debate, say those who were present-said to bt three-fourths of them-voted to re i commit the report to the committed for a further investigation and fur ther report.

RACING

Sir Barton, the 3-year old chest
nut colt, by Star Shoot, out of Lady
Sterling, owned by the Canadian
turfman, Commander ]. X. L. Ross,
10 the champion race horse of 1919.
He started 13 times, won on eight
occasions, was second three times
and third twice and won $SS, $50,
the largest sum credited to any
horse. that performed during the
season. Standing about Is hands
an inch and a half, he is a re-
mArkably "big little horse" pos
sessing power, speed, resolution
and ability to negotiate any kind
Of footing. During the Saratoga
meeting Kimball Patterson, trainer
OF Eternal, said Of him:
"Sir Barton is one Of the greatest
race horses ever seen on the Amer
lean turf. He can carry any kind
OF weight, on any kind Of track and
does not need "a pacemaker. He
makes his own pace and seems to
say, Come and get me-" Early in
the season it was believed he vas
essentially "a front runner" Dus-
ing the autumn he demonstrated
that he could be rated away from
the pace and ultimately go on and
win.
He began the season by winning
the Kentucky Derby at Louisville.
This he followed with victories il
the Preakness, at Baltimore, and
the Withers and Belmont at Be-
mont park, a record for 3-year oil
classics which no other horse evrI
achieved. 1
His first defeat happened in tie
Dwyer Stakes, one mile and fU-
long. at AQueduct. In that eyet
he was asked to- carry 127 pouns
against 118 by that other wondc-
full 3-year old, Purchase. As usal
he set the pace and showed the ay
to near the last furlong, where he
succumbed. He did not race aein
until the fall meeting At Havrede
Grace. Rested at Saratoga ant in
the first weeks Of September, he /
was q fresh horse when the nal
Maryland meeting began. At HHreI
de Grace he won the Potomac and
Maryland handfcaps, his RESPECTIVE
imposts being 132 and 1873. Hell
finished the season by winning thel
Pimlico handicap special, NJ 2.
one mile, and the Pimlico srial,
one mile and a furlong. for all ges.
In each of these events his wight
was 100. He did not meet Pur-
chase a second time. At Lurel,
that colt became lame and was
retired for the season. l.
