HANDWRITING IN THE
CENTRAL SCHOOL

Considerable interest is being shown
in handwriting in the Central School.
The results of the tests given for the
six-weeks period ending March 10
show that the sixth grade has made
the unusual improvement of II points
for this period. This class began the
school year with an average quality
score of SO on the Ayers Handwriting
scale. Their present average in hand
writing quality is 81. This makes an
average gain per child of Is points.
Quality SIS is the standard expected of
this grade. This average should be
reached easily since there are twelve
more weeks of school in which to
make this gain.
Up to date the total improvement
in handwriting quality in the fifth
grade is 10 points. This class has an
improvement of 8 points to make be-
fore the end of the school year in
order to meet the standard expected
of them.
The fourth grade has made an av-
erage improvement to date of 6 points.
This grade has an improvement Of
10 points to make during the rest of
the year to meet the standard accom-
plishment in quality which has been
set up for them. q, &
~ The third grade has made a total
improvement of 8 points. This grade
needs to increase it's average only 8
points to be a standard third grade.
The second grade has passed the
standard requirement in quality and
rate. The second grade has an average
of 40 in quality. This is the average
quality expected of third grade child
rem. In rate of writing the standard
has. been passed also.
A child that develops normally in
handwriting will improve his quality
5 points during the year. A class that
will increase its average during the
year Of five points in quality of hand
writing has made an average gain for
the year: The unusual progress in
handwriting is due to the fact that
more emphasis is being placed on
the need for better writing, better
writing is being insisted on in class
work, and the work is highly motivat-
ed by the use Of carefully selected
sentences which the children write
until they r able to meet a contain
standard rate and a certain standard
The beginning standards are
low enough 50 that nearly all children
make progress. r. -

painted has arrived and the general
state of health is improving to such
an extent that it has been considered
safe to set the definite date.
The Board of Administration met
representatives of the higher insti-
buttons of learning of the state at the
request Of the State Superintendent,
Miss Nelson, in Fargo last Friday.
Plans for the 1922 summer terms were
canvassed and the administrative
practices of the several institutions
were compared and c~ontrasted and an
effort was made to induce a degree
Of uniformity so far as seemed wise.
The first problem taken up was that
of the standards of admission. 1t was
agreed that graduates Of four-year
high schools that are neither first or
second class high schools will not be
accepted on the basis of the diploma
from such high school but must show
sixteen units earned by means of
state high school examinations. The
plan agreed upon has been in oper-
alton in the Forestry Normal but was
not being followed by some Of the in
stitutions. Another problem discussed
was that of the method of computing
credits. tt was agreed to use the
quarter hour system. The usual plan
.at the normal schools has been to
compute credits in terms of "term-
credits" rather than by seemster
hours or quarter hours. Tt was point
ed out BY the State Superintendent
that the Forestry Normal has right
along computed credits III terms Of
"h0urs. 4 The term To be used ftquart-
er honr" means a class meeting sixty
minutes once i week for twelve weeks.
Al quarter means twelve weeks. Reg

SERVICE ~MEN-NOTICE

The law under which the U. S. Vet
Grams Bureau operates is very apt to
appear to be rather technical to the
average person and the likelihood of
overlooking certain benefits is high
ly probably under the circumstances.
It is the desire of the Bureau that all
persons formerly identified with the
military or naval forces of the United
States during the late wal have a
knowledge of what they are entitled
to and to what limitations are IN
force with reference to it's application.
A very important provision of the law
is to the effect that all those suffer-
ing from ~injury4or diseasescontracted
in or aggravated by their connection
with the service, have only until Aug
ust 9, 1922 to file a claim with the
Government. As the law now stands,
no applications will be received after
that date.
The principal feature to be empha-
sized Isl the filing of the claim before
that date. IF the claimant at the time
Of filing the application, does not suf-
fer q disability sufficient to be COM
pensable under the law, but has a dis
ability incurred in or aggravated by
his military or naval service, he is
furnished a certificate of injury by
the Director, which entities him to
compensation, disqualification, or vo-
cational training, if in the future his
service disability develops so as to be
of 4 compensate degree. Every per-
SON receiving notice of disability of a
degree less than 10 per cent should
request q certificate of injury from
the representatives Of the Bureau.
y The Section Of the Act applicable
10 the situation above discussed is as
follows: @
No compensation shall be payable
for death OF disability which does not
occur prior ID or within one year af-
ter discharge or resignation from the
service, except that where, after .
medical examination made pursuant
ID regulations, n certificate has been
sbtained from the Director at the time

Service or within 4 year thereafter,

Grafton with France lies any hope OF
restoring order in Europe.
What the State Department really
is watching closely is not so much the
recognition of the Soviet Government
rs the exploitation of Russia by British
and German capitalists on such terms
IA will exclud" America from the de- =
yelopm"nt Of Russian industries.
The opinion in Russia is that whether
Lloyd George succeeds M Genoa or sue
cNcdS later ~ home in Obtaining the
qualified recognition Of the SovictS or
not. British and German business will
h" sure to tnI their way into Russia.
And the Soviet leaders appear just rs
ready to dcn! with individuals on the
basis of monopolirS and exclusive con
rossionS rs they ar" with the European
Governments for recognition.
With this country refusing 10 cancel
it's war debts and with France refusing
10 take up again and modify the Yer
saillcs Treaty. Ellronr i being steadily
forced 10 some kind OF agreement with
the Rolshcyiki as the only way of cs-
Gaping general bankruptcy.
This may take either the form Of
open recognition such rs Lloyd George
proposes or the entrance of German and
British business men in Russia with the
tact support of their governments and
with the Russian Government offering
them extraordinary Inducements. In
this way Russia has displaced Germany
on the center OF the stage. The settle
ment Of German rcparations was re.
garded Il few mouths ago as the way OUT
of Europc's difficulties. Today it is
the settlement Of relations with Russia
to which England and Germany at least
are looking forward as the way out.

The crack Trinity Sunday School
team will meet the Southern Metho-

Manager Anstock will probably
choose either Upton or Brown for

fell, who sent sixteen of the st. Paul
boys to the bench via the Strikeout
route, will in all probability do the

The Southern Methodists defeated
Trinity in the last game between
them and are confident of winning
again today, while the Trinitys are
determined to add another victory
to their LONE list and thus strength
en- their hold on first place in the
championship race.
Tomorrow afternoon at $50 the

TULLOCK FIELD MANAGER

At a meeting of the Cardinal Ath-
letic Club, held at the home Of Presl-
dent Sylvester a. Breen, Thursday
evening, July 20, much important.
business was transacted. Because OF
lack of time necessary to properly
conduct the athletic department OF
the Cardinals, Field Manager Walter
Disbrow rendered his resignation; lie
will. however, continue as athletic
coach and adviser. -
Happy Jack" Tullock the all
around live-wire athlete, who is
known everywhere for his ability to
handle baseball players, was elect
ed field manager. There is no doubt
as to his making good. He is a sure
winner. Watch the Cardinals thrive
under his athletic care-grlt ana a
pleasing personality lead to the road
of success. Hereafter the Cardinals
will hold weekly meetings-on Tues,
dav evening-to study blackboard
plays that will aid them to play
better games.
