While no fears for the Russian

! OF EDUCATION IN U. 5.
Educational Expert Attacks
Plans for Federal Control
- T. of u. 5. Education
By Herbert Little

Omitted Press Stan correspondent
Madison, Wis, May 5.-Plans for
liberalization of education in the
United States and the creation of a
place in the presidents cabinet for
the head of national education were
attacked today by E. A. Fitzpatrick,
educational expert and secretary OF
the Wisconsin board Of education, in
an article in the May issue of the
Educational Review, national edu-
cation magazine.
These plans, embodied in the Ster-
ling-Towner bill now before congress
amount to confession of the bank
ruptcy of the educational leadership
of the state and of the local commu-
miles," DR.. Fitzpatrick charged.
Federal control of education will
inevitably follow the distribution of
federal money, as provided in the
Sterling-Towner bill, according to
Fitzpatrick. Estate legislatures

GIRLS SURPASS BOYS
in HIGH SCHOOL MARKS

That girl students surpass the

Sinclair with an average Of 92.9 will
act as valedidctorian at the COM
mencement exercises, while Miss

81 will act as salutatorian. Includ-
ed in the five highest are Miss Helen
Sinclair with an average of 90, Miss
Carolyn Groves with 1877, and Miss
Marguerite Donovan with 80 q. a.,
As is the custom, however. : the
boy with the highest average will

This Is Opinion Of Manager of
. Association After Survey
= ing Situation Here
REVOLVING FUND is 49,,
GIVEN. CONSIDERATION
1t Is Suggested That Banks
of County Cooperate to
Create Such a Fund

Edison WaShburn, recently appoint
ed manager Of the Beltrami County
Land Clearing association, has made
a careful study Of the situation in
Beltrami county with the result that
he has evolved plan whereby clear
ing of land can be encouraged more
rapidly and effectively. His plan is
that of financing the clearing pro-
jects so that all settlers may take
advantage of the opportunity to
purchase explosives. He has the fol-
lowing to say regarding his survey:
"In my survey of the needs OF the
la,,l clearing problem in. Beltrami
county have this to say-that there
is one great outstanding obsticle or
element of limitation to the land
clearing problem and that is the
matter of finance.
"This county must clear and put
on an earning basis as great an acre
age as possible, as fast as possible
and as cheap as possible. This can
We done by using as much as pos
sible of the governments donation
of picric acid. This donation is for
a limited amount and should be TAX
en- advantage Of as long as it will
last and there is an immediate need
for action in this, for we can get so
much better results at this time Of
> the year when the ground is soft
and full of moisture, causing an in
creased efficiency Of the explosive.
Our expenses come in the cartridg-
ing of the product, amounting to Z
cents per pound and freight, which
is six cents from Fort Wingate, New
Mexico. = r,.: a.. sts. ...,.
"Picric acid does the work, stick
for stick, of 40 per cent dynamite
and costs 8 cents a stick less. While
a No. 8. cap is recommended for pic
rio acid and costs 8-l0r2cent more
per cap than the No. 6 cap used for
dynamite, the saving per charge is
still material especially on larger
stunips where several sticks are used
per cap.
"To enable the farmers to make
more general use of this cheap war
salvage explosive by maintaining a
supply of it on hand at all times at
various points, it is necessary to
create a revolving fund enabling
the land clearing association to order
a car of picric acid before the act
ual. orders for the same are placed:
Cash at the rate of 7 cents per pound
must accompany order. This revolv-
ing fund will take care Of this cash
with order proposition.
1T is suggested that the banks OF
Beltrami county cooperate in Great
ing such a fund of approximately
$4,000. Each bank contributing set
sum to this common pool of credit.
It is felt that the creation OF this
fund will assist the land clearing
work at small cost, as this fund
need not be maintained for more
than six months during the year. 1t
will be renewed when the farmers
get their explosive and pay for it
at the time of delivery, and discon-
tinued at end of the season.,

FIRST IS. EMBASSY
BUILDING UNDER WAY
(BY United Press

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, May s.
The first American embassy building
to be constructed abroad by the U.
S. is under way.
DR.. Carlos Sampaio, project of the
federal district Of Brazil, Edwin V.
Morgan, the American ambassador,
and Frank L. Packard, the architect,
charged by President Harding to
plan construction of the building, de-
livered the principal addresses and
broke the ground for the structure:
The project, speaking in English,
stressed the Importance the new
American building will have in ce-
menting existing friendships between
the peoples and governments of the
two largest republics of the two con-
tinents.
DR.. Sampaio declared he believed
the fact that the United States will
construct it's first embassy in Brazil
is probably the greatest expression
of the cordial relations and ever-in-
creasing friendship between his coun-
try and the, United States. He was
enthusiastic regarding the effect the
action of the United States govern
ment will have in strengthening these
relations.
Packard pointed out the sentiment
sponsoring the action Of the United
States in making provisions for cree
ton in the Brazilian capital of the
building which is to serve as the
American building during the world
fair and exposition celebrating the
Tooth anniversary of BraziPs indie
pendence, and afterwards as a per-
manent home for the United States
ambassador.
