SECRETARY LANSING ENDORSES
 RED CROSS ROLL CALI

The dangers to the health of the world today are so great that every active force to fight them must be kept at its highest efficiency. This is the opinion of Secretary of State Robert Lansing expressed in a staate- ment issued today in behalf of the Third Red Cross Roll Call that be- gins next Sunday throughout the na- ton.
 Where a great organization, such as the American Red Cross is today, has been developed to meet the needs of world of war" says Secretary Lansing. it would be almost a na- tional calamity to diminish it's po- tentiality for the good of mankind by lessening it's activities or by permit ting public interest in them to lag. I wish, therefore, to commentd the plan to maintain the efficiency of the Red Cross at it's present high stand- ard and to divert it's enterprise and energy, after the demands of war cease to the relief of suffering and the preservation of health times of peace The services which can be rendered In a field so that it seems limitless should, and I believe will, command the hearty and generous support of | the American people. for the purpose appeals to patriotism. to humanity, and to commonsense." b
 Likewise, Secretary Daniels. 1 The world can never appreciate the service rendered by the Red Cross | during the world war. I count it an | honor to be a member of this hu- | manitarian organization. Its work ir | the war was upon a large scale in | secnxipg relief and succor to fighting Il men wto incarnated the American szdeal -. We cannot hope for a world

CRANE CHAIRMAN OF NOR
NAL PRESIDENTS COUNCIL

A meeting Of the presidents of the
North Dakota Normal schools was
held today and council formed
President A. G. Crane of the Minot
Normal school was elected chairman
and President Allen Of Valley City,
secretary. The other presidents in at
tendance were Black Of Glendale, May
from Dickinson and Evjen from May
vile.
The presidents are considering
starting paid newspaper advertising
campaign in their various district, be-
lieving that in this way great many
additional students may be secured
for these institutions. There isn't a
Normal school in the state that can
not accommodate double the present
number of students enrolled with very
little additional expense.
There has been falling off in the
enrolment in Normal schools of the
United States of 26 per cent this year,
while there are hundred thousand
schools that either have no teachers
or the teachers of which are ineffic-
lent. 1t is up to the Normal schools
to do their best to supply this demand
for teachers.
The new Council plans to meet quar-
terly to take up teacher training prob
lens. The chairman, President Crane,
is the dean of Normal school presi-
dents of North Dakota.

SECRETARY HOLBE|N
RETURNS FROM EAST
Attended Two Important Conventions
and Opened Up Negotiations With
Several New Concerns.

Will E. Holbein, secretary OF the
Minot Association Of Commerce, and
several subsidiary bodies, has return
ed from his regular fall trip to the
east. While away he attended the
annual convention Of the secretaries
of commercial organizations at Indian
apolis, and the annual convention of
the Direct Mail Advertising Associa-
ton. and the Association of House Or
gan Editors at Cleveland, Ohio. This
latter is connected with the Associated
Advertising Clubs of the World, OF
which the Minot Town Criers Club IS
q constituent member.
The convention of secretaries at In
dianapolis was the largest convention
of the kind ever held, and interest was
at top notch for the three full days OF
the meeting.
The convention at Cleveland was
also largely attended and great inter-
est shown by the advertising men
present. 1t is likely that group Of
members of the Minot Town Criers
Club will be formed and will join the
national organization with the view
of improving their house organs and
mail order advertising.
While in the east the Secretary call
ed upon several large concerns that
are not now represented in this city,
and chances are very good for the es-
adjustment of several branch houses
in this city the coming year as re-
suit of his visit.
The east is very busy and the manu-
facturers are working overtime in a
desire to keep up production, but the
coal strike is causing a great deal OF
uneasiness all through the east, as Z
shortage of fuel this winter will Grip
pie the large factories and cause many
shut-downs. Instead of snow like we
have here in this part of the world
the east was being treated to heavy
downpour Of rain that made the trip
anything but pleasant, and the Secre-
tary was delighted to return to Minot
where the ground was covered with q
mantle of snow.
