Ronald Could I Tosti Hungarian Folk Songs Korbay a) Father Was a "Thrifty Man (b) Look Into My Eyes; Come ~Swiv ST HELP TO WIN THE WAR Those who are at the head of our government realize that in order to win this war, it is necessary to have the closest co-operation of all the industries of the nation. In an appeal issued a short time ago to teachers and to school officers generally President Wilson points out some of the needs of the country which he believes the schools can meet. In his appeal he says, in part: "The war is bringing to the minds of our people a new appreciation of the problems of national life and a deeper understanding of the meaning and aims of democracy. Matters which have heretofore seemed commonplace and trival are seen in a truer light. •"In these vital tasks of acquiring a broader view of human possibilities, the common school must have a large part. I urge teachers and other school officers to increase materially the time and attention devoted to instruction bearing directly on the problems of community and national life. "Tii order that there may be definite material at hand with which the schools may at once expand their teaching, I have asked Mr. Hoover and Commissioner Claxton to organize the proper agencies for the preparation and distribution of suitable lessons for the elementary and for the high school classes. "Lessons thus suggested will serve the double purpose of illustrating in a concrete way what can be undertaken in the schools and of stimulating teachers in all parts of the country, to formulate new and appropriate materials drawn directly from the communities in which they live." AN EIGHT AND ONE-HALF POUND NORMALITE The assembly Tuesday morning was long but interesting. Dr. Nash announced that we were to have a new student in the school. Miss ;Katherine Coughlin. the little daughter of Professor Coughlin and his wife. Stacy Tucker then led the school in giving nine "Rahs" for Katherine and if this little lady could have been present we feel she would have appreciated the warm reception awaiting her. Katherine is now four davs old. JUNIORS BUY BOND The student body and members of the Faculty were pleasantly surprised in assembly. Tuesday, when Stacy Tucker, acting as representative of the Junior class, presented Dr. Nash with a United States Bond of the Second Liberty Loan of 1917. which his class had purchased and intended for the Student Loan Fund of this school. Both students and faculty expressed hearty approval of this action on the part of the Junior class. Dr. Nash hastened to express his pleasure in the matter and commended the Juniors for doing their bit. The bond was delivered into the hands of Mr. Ed-son, the Registrar, for safe keeping. APPEAL FOR YJ.C.A. Miss Eva McAbee gave a report of her trip as delegate to the University of Washington, in the assembly Tuesday. Delegates from all the high schools of Western Washington met there last Wednesday to discuss the apportionment of the $12,000, Washington's share, in the $1,000,000 budget. There were many good speakers at the meetings, but probably the principal one was Mr.White-hair, student secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Cornell University. He Las been very intimately connected with the Y. M. C. A. in the war zone, thiiteen times crossing those waters menaced by submarines as well as working with the boys actually in the field of battle. Miss McAbee told of Mr. Whitehair's stirring address to the delegates. He told of the Y. M. C. A. camps and reading rooms, often under fire. He described their mission to home-sick boys, whether pro-testant, catholic or Jew and of their great need for cheer. He said the hospitals were often very crude, without even sawdust over the ground, and often wounded soldiers must lie in the mud until they can be cared for. The Y. M. C. A. has a great work to do among the troops that go into the wicked French cities. They are often homesick and discouraged, and are not fortified to meet the temptations awaiting them there. They drift so deeply into a life of vise and immorality that they do not care to go home. They feel that they are unfit to meet their loved ones again, and say that they would rather shoot themselves after the war is over than face those at home. In many cities there are no restaurants except the wine houses with their vicious influences. It is here that the Y. M. C. A. can supply a great need by providing clean restu-rants with good wholesome American eggs. The boys, after enjoying a good meal raise their voices to sing, and at such times the favorite songs are "Where is My Wandering Boy Tonight" and "Abide With Me." They are told of the greatest sacrifice ever made, and they are ready to accept Christ. The most popular subject to discuss with these men is Christianity. There is a great battle against moral degeneracy. It is of so great an import that the success, or failure of the army depends on it. This is entirely within the province of the Y. M. C. A. They stand ready with a cup of tea or cake of chocolate for the men as with a grave determination they go into the field to face death, and they are warned not to touch the chocolate unless wounded and lying in cno man's land." The Y. M. C. A. is also doing an important work there. There has been no relief for the nurses in the hospitals from the horrors of the war and the Y. M. C. A. is establishing rest rooms for this purpose. They work with the many girls in the munition factories who are far from home, and provide hostess houses so that the girls may meet the soldiers in a wholesome environment. (Continued on Page Eight) CALENDAR 8:50- 9:40- 9:40- 10:10- 7:30- 10 ^soi l : 20- 4:10- 12:55- 4:10- 2:30- 7:30- 8:00- -Monday, Assembly. Smith Carlton and Roy Owen will discuss war work of Y. M. G.

W. C. A. meets in association room. -Thursday, Assembly. Miss Baker will speak. -Club meetings. Rural Life club. Philomathean society. Thespian club. -Friday, Teachers' meeting. Dr. Miller opened his address in the assembly Monday morning saying that if he wished to make an appeal for the Red Cross or Liberty Bonds he would use every art he possessed to reach oui* emotions. It was rather his idea, he said, to give us a truer conception of the cause of the war revealed by the actual organization of the German government. He made his explanations concrete by applying them to such a condition in the United States. The term Prussianism comes from Prussia, the state in Germany which is larger than all the other states together and is able to dominate all politics there because of its size and strength. Germany has two houses of legislature, the upper being composed of members of the royal families from the twenty-two kingdoms and states into which the country is divided, and the lower house is filled by an electoral system that is supposed to represent the people. The fact is that the people are divided into three great classes, according to their wealth, and the two upper classes, which contain a very small part of the people are able to overrule the eighty-seven per cent of people that fall into the third class. Thus wealth rules in this house. Every bill, however, must originate in the upper house and after being voted upon by the lower must be referred to the upper for approval. There is no cabinet in Germany, as the Kaiser oversees all post offices, railways and telegraph systems, makes all appointments, and in short, is the controlling power in the whole land. It is well to study the plan and organization of the German government at this crucial :period and fully comprehend what is Ireally meant by the term Priussianism. It gives us a clearer view of the situation and helps us to know our purpose in this war.
