THRILLS OF FIGHT AND
FILM TOLD BY D. C. BOYS

Dr. Edward Gardner, Of 1910 Fair
mont street, and First Lieut.. Win
field S. Cline, of 1906 N street north
west, have just been discharged from
Walter Reed Hospital Both men can
tell thrilling stories OF military ex-
perience.
DR.. Gardner originally was commits
stoned as a captain in the medical
corps, but was discharged later be-
cause of heart trouble. In spite OF
the fact that he was forty-five years
old, he managed to enlist as private
in the aviation section. While serv-
ing as a machine gunner in an aero
plane in the second battle OF the
Marine, he was shot down and had
both legs crushed beneath the ma
chine. His pilot was killed.
Lieutenant Cline was the first man
Of the photo section Of the signal
corps to go to France. While film
ing a battle scene near Pont-a-Mous-
son, he fell over a cliff, breaking his
arm and severely injuring his leg.
He was in charge of all the photo
units of the First army corps from
Scissors to the Vosges, a front OF
about $50 miles.

Crying Need Is
Normal School
NO INSTITUTIONS IN NORTHERN PART OF STATE
TO TRAIN TEACHERS; TWENTY-FIVE PER
CENT OF TEACHERS HAVE NO TRAIN
ING ABOVE 8TH GRADE

When adequate provision has been
made to supply enough Montana train
teachers to supply all Montana schools
there will be at least five normal
schools established within the borders
of the state. To be of greatest SER
vice to the state at large one should
be located near the geographical CEN
ter of the state, and one in each ex-
treme of the state located about one
hundred miles from the borders of the
state on some transcontinental rail-
road. A normal school would thus
be within 100 miles of all parts Of
the state.
Dillon already serves the southwest,
Miles City or Glendive would serve
the southeast, Kalispel or Columbia
Falls the northwest, Lewistown or
Great Falls the central, and Glasgow
the northeastern corner.
In determining which Of these
should be established first, the legis-
lature should ascertain where the need
is most urgent and where the great
est growth has been experienced and
may be expected in agricultural de-
velopment. The half dozen counties
forming northeastern Montana are
more largely agricultural than any
other contiguous group of counties.
During the past ten years it has been
possible to secure supply of teach
ers because college and normal train
ed teachers from the east have been
attracted to these counties by the
free land, so these teachers by home
stealing and securing school con-
venient to their homesteads have done
pioneer educational work in these COM
munities. After proving up on their
