CHAN MADE A
LUTHER ]. COLLEGE
FULL HIGH SCHOOL COURSE IS
STARTED THIS YEAR.
FOR TEACHERS.
OPENING OF LOCAL SCHOOLS
FOR FALL COMPLETED
TO-DAY.

With the opening of DR.. Martin Luz
ther College, today for the school year
1919 1920, vacation times comes to a
close for all children and students Of,
New Ulm. The Holy Trinity Catholic
Parochial School opened its doors yes
terday and the Lutheran Parochial
School on Monday, while the local High
School and the other public schools
put on their working day appearance
q week earlier. 80
AT the DR.. Martin Luther College a
Considerable change will be- made ia the
curriculum Of the high school. Two
years have been adde's to this course,
according to a decision made recently
by the Evangelical Lutheran Joint
Synod Conference which has charge
over these matters. This brings this
school on an equal footing with all other
similar institutions in the country
Heretofore, the course Of this high school
was only Of a two years duration, having
a preparatory course Of one year CORE
spending to the eighth grade in other
schools. This preparatory course will
be retained together with the two years
in the Normal School, which follow the
four years high school course.
The changes in the curriculum will
be made as time goes on. A start will
be made this year with those entering
upon the first year Of the high school.
those who began taking their teachers
training at the institution last year
and earlier will be allowed to. finish
their course according to the old plan.
Dr. Martin Luther College opened its
new year today with church services
and opening address by President John
Meyer.
Attendance at High School.
Although the number of pupils en-
rolled at the local high school on the
opening day Of the school year, last
week Monday, was not as large as on
that day last year, it is the opinion Of
Superintendent Hess that the attend
ance later on will increase to such an
extent that this will be a record year in
point Of attendance. The County Fair
and Labor Day gone, it is to be expected
that quite few pupils will add their
names to the list now containing 21s
names.
Besides this number, there are nine
students enrolled in the Normal Class
bringing the total number Of students
in this institution to 227.
The enrolment at the public schools
was about the same last year on the open
ing day. There were 485 pupils asking
for ad1niittance Ito the different classes
Eof the grade schools. Emerson School
showed an increase Of S, while the
Others had a small falling off The
figures for these schools are:

NORTHWESTERN ROAD
MEN ON EIGHT HOURS

With the exception or about i've
men the employees of the Northwestern
road in Madison are working eight
hours a day. Nearly every depart
ment, including passenger, freight and
switching, received pay for an eight
hour day. 1t will only be matter of
a week or two when all employees are
to be on the same basis. Part Of the
force began working eight hours Jan
uary and others have changed few
at time.
This order is being effected to meet
the demands of the various unions and
will mean a cut in the wags schedule
for the two hours overtime which has
been allowed the men. The work has
been so arranged that the working
force will be able to complete it with
out overtime. In some cases this will
mean a decrease of from 81 to 30.

Money must become tho seyTant and
not the master Of men. We must for
get the past, despise the things that
are old, live in the present and dream
of and build for the tomorrow that is
always one day off These things we
must do if we are to remain a rising
rather than a decadent nation.
The liquor business must go and
stay gone. The public moral must be
guarded as never before dreamed Of
Education must be more compulsory.
Parks and Fairgrounds, must be built
and directed. Recreation must be.
democratized and made heahhful and
attractive. We must have bath tub
in every home We must admire the
natural and despise the artificial and
as Moses lifted up the serpent in the
wilderness, even so must the Son of
man be lifted up, Our churt@es must
try themselves by fire and cast to the
fire the unproductive trees in their

be men and women in the largest

we will not survive individually or ma

The purchase Of the enamels, which is
said to have been completed some months

Friend Of Wagner, Best Known
as Author of Dramatic
Opera 'T Pagliacci."
VISITED AMERICA IN 1905
Reception Somewhat Frosty
. After a Disappointing
Initial Concert.
ROM. Aug. e.-Ruggiero Leoncavallo,
the composer, is dead.

RuxEiero Leoncavallo was born in
Naples on March s, 1853, and was widely
known as one Of the younger composers
Of his country who called Verdi "the old
man" Leohoavallo had the friendship
OF Wagner and one of the German com
pendiums of the lives of those well
known In the world has not hesitated
to say that the form of his work as a
composer was similar to that Of the
Bayreuth wizard. OF Wagner Leon
cavallo himself said HE was not a
man he was a revolution, Nobody can
contemplate denying q principle with
out thinking OF him. But II cannot be
denied that one way does not do for ALL
II I want to put a modern man Into
music, such q man as would walk on
the Ringstrssse, / cannot take classical
music or The Ride OF the Valkyries for
the purpose. Humperdinck unrolls the
severest whgnerian floods Of tone over
a tender fairy story, and always have
the impression Of seeing a dove In an
iron harness."
deoncayallo lived for a long time in
Paris. There ne composed songs as well
as occasional pieces and there he planned
his trilogy OF italian history, of which
his ''Medici" Is a part. He produced his
short dramatic opera u PagliaccP' at
Milan In the spring of 1892. and 1t has
remained his best known work. The
"Medni" was performed first in the fall
of 1898. also at Milan. 1t was said of
him that the success of Mascagnrs short
operas paved the way for the success of
his own. Works Of his were often heard
at the Metropolitan Opera House and
at Covent Garden, and also at Vienna.
Among his other publications were La
Rohefne" mot 80 we'll known here as
Puccihrs), "Zaza," Roland Won Berlin"
The Youth Of Figaro and THE Red
Blouse"
In 1906 Leoncavallo made tour of
this country couple Of months after he
had sent specially prepared copy of
his then new march "Vive pAmer ca" to
President Roosevelt with an autograph
