a number of other matters with him

of the executive departments of the

sion of experts to study the Muscle

Patriotic Council.

While the sentiments of those who
advocate peace at any price on the
ground that war has a deteriorating
moral effect may be respected, Secre-
tary Wilbur said in an address last
night before the National Patriotic
Council, the Nation should be in
state of preparedness mot only for
the sake of our civil population, but
for the sake of those who in time
of war are willing to yield the last
fun measure of devotion to preserve
the life of our country"
Directing attention to the many
who rest content that national life
and honor may be maintained with
out effort other than that involved
I'm an attempt to persuade a prospec-
tive enemy of the integrity of the
Nations intentions and the justice of
its cause, Mr.. Wilbur declared that
starving Belgium and bleeding
Armenia are unhappy illustrations of
the impotence of such measures"

222 STUDENTS ARE
ENROLLED IN The
BELFRY Hi SCHOOL
Attorney f. p. Conwell After a Visit
There Gives Some Impressions of
the School and its Teachers.

The writer had the pleasure Of Wis
it to the Belfry High School last
Friday and had the opportunity of
seeing the work that is being done
by the students there under the super
vision Of Supt. A. o. Nelson and what
is said to be the ablest corps of
teachers in the history of the Belfry
schools.
Belfry isn't the largest town in Car
bon County. Many of the grade and
High School students come from the
surrounding country, but the rooms
are we'll filled, there being an enroll
ment of 222 pupils at present. Their
school building is new and in equip
ment, appointment and arrangement
for effective work 1t is doubtful If it
has superior among the school build
ings in Carbon County. Then too, they
have what is conceded to be the best
track for athletics in the county and
that important part of school work is
being given at attention that it de-
serves. In the track meet held last
autumn it is remembered that the
Belfry High School took first place in
contest that was participated in by
every one of our high schools.
Miss Margery Freakes Of this city
is a member of the High School faculty
there this year and it is a matter of
qualification to her many friends here
to know that she is giving entire sat
isfaction and is well pleased with her
work there.
Without any disparagement to any
other teacher or Superintendent in
the county it can be said that Prof,
A. 0. Nelson is real school man. He
must be more than half responsible for
the effective work that is being done
there by a student body that Is at once
orderly, diligent and studious. The
people Of Belfry and the Board of
Education seem to take pardonable
pride in making the schools there as
good as the best to be found anywhere.
The faculty is as follows: Prof. A.
0. Nelson, Superintendent; Prof. Paul
