CHINESE MAKE PLEA

of Chinese who were captured by the
Shantung train bandits and escaped
or we're released deplore the lack OF
interest in the fate of the large num-
Der of Chinese held In the mountain

foreigners.
''The lives of Chinese people" says
the communication never move the
hearts of officials. The foreign cap
tives number only ten or 90 per cent
of the Chinese victims but how en-
enthusiastic foreign officials are In
seeking their release. Chinese officials
and militarists also are busy. but their
assiduity is prompted by fear of dip
lomatic complications more than by
anything else. The hundred odd
Chinese prisoners therefore are left
conveniently to their fate. What do

President Ames
Attends School
Bill Hearing

President Ames left Tuesday for
Madison to appear at the hearing on
the bill for the certification CT High
School Teachers, yesterday. Presi-
dent A1nes is a member Of the conf
mittee having ttis bill in charge.
The bill provides for a definite re-
cognition of the Three Year Courses

made that after 1924, graduates from
Two Year Courses will not be licens-
ed to teach in high schools or as prin-
cipals of state graded schools of the

Courses, if this bill becomes law,
will be granted temporary high
school certificates good for a period
of five years. The temporary certi-
fcate will become permanent life

pletion of 80 semester hours of addi-
tional work. The State Superintend-
ent's office, the College of Education
at the University of Wisconsin, and
the Normal Schools have united in
the support Of this bill. 1t is felt
that it will make an important step
in advance in the preparation of high
school teachers.

Victory Celebration

Following the game Saturday even
ing, the Normal school students at
once became interested in celebra-
ton of the State Championship. Pres
ident Ames appointed a committee
Of twenty-five students to take charge
of the celebration and to make con-
structive suggestions as to what
should be done.
The festivities began on Tuesday
afternoon with mass meeting in
the auditorium, at which Mr.. Hunt
presided in very poppy and witty
fashion. In the opening speech,
President Ames congratulated the
team on it's fine showing, and the
school on the fine support which they
had given the team. He pointed out
that in the last years, the State
Championship in basketball had been
won times by River Falls, twice by
La Crosse and one each by Oshkosh
and Stevens Point. He also announc-
de the surprising news that had our
team lost the close game on Saturday
night to Superior, they would still
have won the State Championship.
Oshkosh was defeated on Friday
night by Platteville on the Oshkosh
floor by a score of Is to "a. This puts
Oshkosh and La Crosse in a tie for
second place as each has dropped two
games. Following the speech by Pres
ident Ames very clever sketch was
presented, depicting the wooing of
Miss Championship by her various
suitors, with the final success of Riv-
err Falls. The Coach and squad were
then called to the platform and after
great ovation, each of them gave
a brief speech. All attributed the
success of the season to the spirit of
harmony and cooperation existing
among the players and to their CO.
operation with Coach Eggebrecht.
At the close of the mass meeting
the squad were carried off by the en-
thusiastic fans for a parade down
town. Preceded by the band, the men
of the student body hauled a sleigh
in which the squad were placed. No
slackening of enthusiasm was to be
seen, even when they struck the bare
stretches of the pavement. In the
meantime, a committee of boys had
accumulated an immense pile of box
es, brush and other combustibles on
