Returned Missionary Speaks
To Large Audience

A large congregation gathered at
the Presbyterian church last Sum-
day night to hear DR.. ADELAIDE Wood
ard speak. DR.. Woodland is a re-
turned missionary who served in
Fatehgaoh, India, from 19l4-1935.
During that time she built a hos
pital there and was twice deco
rated by the king of England for
services in India.
Dr. Woodland explained briefly
the various religions of India, Bud
dhism, Brahmanism, Mohammedian
ism and others, and contrasted them
with Christianity. She told what
she had seen of the caste system of
India and of the degradation and
misery it brings to millions of peo-
pie, and of the practice of child
marriage where little girls eight or
nine years old are married to men
old enough to be their grandfathers.
Because of the work of the mis-.
/ sionaries, through their hospitals
and churches, the Christian religion
is gradually gaining a foothold, said
/ DR.. Woodland, and is bringing hope
and a new life to thousands.
The services were in charge of
the missionary society of the Pres
byterian church, with Mrs. Linnie
Pitcher presiding. The services were
union services, with the Methodist
and Church of God congregations
attending.

School Opens
With Largest
Enrolment
Number in High School Will
Probably Exceed 200;
Other Grades Full.
SOME SENIORS TO
USE COMMERCIAL ROOM

Glasses were conducted in all de-
partments of the school on the OPEN
ing day except the first primary
where the beginners registered, got
. acquainted with their teachers and
their rooms and called it day. In
spite of few conflicts which al
ways appear, the schedule func-
toned well for the opening day and
pupils and teachers went to work
without preliminaries. Following
a custom that has become almost a
tradition, the work for the first day
was organized so that classes con-
tinued until the whistle blew" at
$780, The safety patrol has been
organized and the stations will be
supervised again by student of
ficers.
The enrolment in the primary de-
partment continues high with about
rs in the first grade. Miss Rowe
will conduct an opportunity room
where. pupils will receive special at
tention; for that reason her be-
ginning enrolment is not as large
as the other two sections of the
first grade. The effect of the in
creased primary enrolment is now
to be seen in the larger classes 60
ing into the second and third
grades. The high school will prob
ably go over the 200 mark for the
first time. All available desks have
been assigned and a number of
seniors have been seated in the
commercial room.
Time has been reserved for be-
ginning music students, both instru-
mental and vocal, SO that any per-
son in any grade may now receive
elementary music instruction from
MIR. Kemper.
The first days enrolment is given
below.

Experts Leave;
Symphony Finished

Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Expert left
Tuesday noon on the Empire Build
er for their home in Milwaukee
Wis. Mr.. and Mrs. Expert have
spent the entire summer in Libby
and vicinity.
Expert, who is one of America S
foremost composers, spent the ma
Jority of his time writing a SYM
phony on the growth of q tree. The
tentative title of his work is 1.-THE
Giant" and is divided into three
parts, namely, The Growth of the
Forest of Giants, The Tranquility
and Peacefulness of the Forest be-
fore the Advent of Man and The
Death of the Giants. The score,
which was completed last week, was
shipped to Philadelphia.
In speaking of his work Expert
said, 1T was much easier than
had anticipated it would be. Of
course | studied the whole idea a
great deal before coming out west
and had my subject pretty we'll in
mind. After arriving here and being
in the immediate presence of ma
ture, having an opportunity to live
with the trees and study them, the
music just naturally flowed out"
Expert said that usually the most
a composer can orchestrate in day
is seven or eight measures but he
averaged 10 a day because of the
favorable surroundings. The play
ing time of the symphony is 80
minutes.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Expert spoke
very highly of the natural beauty
of Lincoln county and the favorable
reception accorded them wherever
they were. They especially are
grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Louis Des
Voignes, Miss Inez Ratekin, Bill
Butt, Charlie Powell and the many
others who were SO kind to them
during their stay.
Mrs. Expert, who is also artis-
tically inclined, painted five oils
during their stay at the mountain
retreat. In speaking of his wife
Mr.. Expert said, "A composer could
not hope for a more sympathetic
and helpful wife. Mrs. Expert gives
me great support"
The finale of the sympathy is
made up of the complete theme OF
the second part and is brought in as
glorification chorale of the tree
The organ is brought in here te
produce the full effect The portion
of the symphony depicting the saw,
mill was left out, Expert said, be
cause it would tend to bring abou
an anti-climax Expert said tha
he might compose another work
along that line at a later date. Thi.
winter he plans on completing hi.

Want Citizenship

The number of requests for
naturalization papers being received
by the Helena immigration office
is decidedly on the increase as COM
pared with former years, according
to Chief Inspector G. Nj. Gates. A
similar increase in applications for
papers has been noted throughout
the nation, he said.
Gates credits part of the increase
to growing nationalistic spirit in
the nation and to the governments
demand that all federal employees

ditions on the Selway do not even
approach those of the South Fork.
Our problem is to increase hunting
rapidly enough so that our herds
will be reduced and more uniform
ly distributed. The problems n the
South Fork is one of bringing back
a range 80 to 80 per cent destroyed
to a semblance of its former
luxuriance.
Several of the 30-odd visitors
who have studied the South Fork
during the last three years are of
the opinion that the winter range
cannot recover unless at least 90
per cent of the present elk and deer
are removed. | agree, if the ranges
are to regain anything like their
normal carrying capacities within
reasonable number of years.
IF any good ever can come of
the South Fork experience, think
it must be from the lesson that
it gives us in what not to let hap
pen elsewhere. There is still time
to avert disaster in the Selway. The
low winter ranges except for
! Moose creek-may still be adequate
to tide most of the herds over one
severe winter I think that two
severe winters in succession, how
ever, will result in starvation oil

jority of the 1000 deer.
