training in coming before the public
will be of great aid to the pupils
Each society has faculty advisors
who will supervise the societies and
make suggestions for carrying on the
! literary work.
Debating is going on well this year
under the able coaching OF Miss Wal
| ter. The debaters are divided into
three groups. The first group OF
seniors and juniors are working on
the questions of military training in
high school. The second group OF
sophomores are using the question OF
student government in the local high
| school. The freshmen are debating
on the question OF Sunday moving pic
lures. The team which will repre-
sent the school in the state debates
will not be chosen until later in the
season.
The second issue of the High School
News which appeared last "Wednesday
was an unusually good one. The
Junior English classes contributed a
number of the articles to the paper
There is no reason why the other Eng
lish classes cannot 90 as well. 1t is
expected that every one in High school
should subscribe for the paper as
il is no more than their duty. No
one would borrow his neighbor's shoes
so why borrow his paper?
The Madison game has been called
off. A letter was received by our
coach asking him to cancel the game
Madison asked for the game at the
beginning of the season. They knew
that we would play two games. We
played one game there. 1t really
should have been played here If only
one game was to be played Brookings
has played Madison on the Madison
field for the last three years. There
fore, you will readily see why the
game should have been here.
The real reason. we think, for can
ceiling this game was, first. they are
afraid to play us, and secondly, the
matter of state championship is in
volved. If they played US, they are
afraid they might lose their chance
at the state championship. Their let
ter in part follows:
1T is very seldom customary and
never advisable to play two games
with a team in spite of the fact that
we defeated you 19-7, and a forfeited
game is always a questionable af
fair. So from our standpoint the way
you people are figuring the result OF
the game by playing you we have moth
ing whatever to gain and possibility
of everything to lose. The utter dis
regard of your defeat at our hands and
the unjust publicity given to both that
game and the standing of our team
is another reason for the decision that
it is unwise to play the return game
Although this publicity may not have
been the result of the B. H. S., yet
even for the sake of advertisement
such statements should never have
been allowed the publicity and the
wide circulation they were given

can people while appreciative in the
highest degree of the sacrifice made
by those who helped in the winning
of the war, will never again permit
themselves to tolerate inadequate
service or poor work as in the past.
And the two million men who formed
the American army overseas will as
individuals no longer be satisfied
with inadequate training for their
particular work. The future of our
American institutions; the success Of
our industrial life; the development
of our commercial relations; depend
upon we'll paid, well housed, content
ed, loyal American citizens. This
means for every man and every wom-
an an education. 1t means equal op-
portunities for schooling for every
boy and every girl. There must be a
minimum educational requirement
for all. The man who expects to CON-
pete in the channels of trade or in
dustry must, if he find himself handi-
capped in the race, lay hold Of such
educational facilities as will help him
in the forward push.
American industrial life offers
every opportunity to the man of to-
day. The developments are inevita-
able. The American people reach out
to the returning soldier the helping
hand The right minded in America

with a proper balance once estao-
lished, we shall see certainly in few
months, greatly renewed activity.
The food problem become acute dur
ing the war and for many European
and Eastern countries it still exists.
It will take the United States many
months to produce and store up such
a supply of foodstuffs as she had be-
fore the war. More than this, we are
called upon to supply great quantities
of foodstuffs to people outside our
own country. This means renewed
activity in agriculture and manufac-
turing and commerce. The building
trades will be active. The trained
mechanic will be in great demand;
labor of all kinds will be needed. In
ternal development in road building,
the bringing of non-productive lands
under cultivation, the projection OF
lines of transportation, thus connect
ing forest and mine and the products
of the soil with ready markets-all
this will call for workmen of every
type and class. Our own national
trade is to increase. Our commerce
| with foreign countries which before
has been shamefulry inadequate, will
under proper direction soon astonish
the world.

mained would gladly have exchanged
places He is certain that all men
subject to the selective draft should
have been given the same treatment.
Every man should have been placed
where his services would have count
ed for most The same salary should
have been paid to those who were
needed at home as to those who went
overseas and living furnished them
| or such additional money given them
as would cover actual cost of living.
| Under such a system, most of our
present labor troubles would have
| been cleared away forever
"The average soldier wants justice.
He will be satisfied with nothing less.
He has, through long days and nights
| in the camps, on the march and on the
| battlefront, come in contact with the
stern realities Of life. Sham and pre-
tense he will not tolerate. He has
learned the lesson to give and take
He has, through his need for help and
his willingness to extend 1t, acquired
social consciousness. Hope, there
fore, in the solving of the labor diff
culties now upon us, rests largely in
the common sense, the disciplined
mind, the poise and balance and the
desire for justice of our returned and
returning soldiers.
"In every city, town and country
village, the returning American SOL
dier is being received by chambers of
commerce, boards of trade, mer-
chants associations and social organ
iations, and every opportunity thrown
in his way to provide suitable and lu-
crative employment. 1t is not charity
that the soldier desires but a chance to
! find his place in the economic and So
cial channels and an opportunity to
help himself in the quickest and most
satisfactory manner. The national
government in recognition of the Sc
riousness of the situation has exten-
sive plans through both federal and
state agencies for road building, re-
forestation, land reclamation and 9TH
er large projects. The U. S. Depart
ment of Labor. through its employ
ment service with headquarters in
every state and in most Of the large
cities, is using every endeavor to con-
meet the man with the job. The Oc-
cupational Direction Commission of
the Army Educational Corps, A. E. F.,
while functioning in France and Ger
many was working in cooperation
with the U. S. Employment Service.
The work of the Y. NJ. C. A. in help
! ing to place men in suitable posi-
tions is most praise worthy.
THE American soldier has come
back to a changed America. The
industrial, the commercial, the eco
nomic, the social conditions of our
country, have undergone great
change during the few years past
There must soon be complete re-
adjustment, as between capital anG

were exorbitant many articles can
never again be purchased for what
they bought before the war. Wages
in many instances must increase over
the pre-war scale. On the other hand
there must be a reduction in the wage
scale prevailing for many mechanics
and artisans and laborers who
worked in the war industries.

will do everything in reason to at
once help those who offered all that
was theirs for the honor of their
country and the peace of the world.
But the American soldier must do his
part in preparing for the position he
is fitted to occupy and in filling to
the utmost of his ability any post he
may assume"
