AT - SUPT. DAVEE THINKS BOYS AND GIRLS OF SCHOOLS SHOULD ASS18T. The Butte Post has suggested that the anniversary of Montana shall be celebrated in a fitting manner and is receiving many letters on the subject, a great many of which suggest that it be held in conjunction with the state fair at Helena. We produce one from the superintendent of public instruc tion H. A. Davee, that Is interesting and'carries a splendid suggestion on the matter. To the Editor of the Post: Helena, Jan. 16. I have been reading the splendid articles and suggestions in your paper concerning the proposed celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Montana, and the more I think about it, the more clear it seems to me that the state fair, which belongs to all of us, is the place to stage the celebration, While it may seem almost selfish for me to say it, this celebration will mean more to the school boys and girls of Montana than any other class of people, and these boys and girls will be represented at the state fair as they have never been before. More Interest Taken. In the first place, more interest is being taken in the corn, potato an< > sewing contests, which are m charge of Prof. F. S. Cooley of the Montana agricultural eolege at Bozeman, than ever before, and there will hardly be a county in the state that will not' have a full quota of contestants. Then Secretary A. J. Breitenstein has completely revised the premium list for the educational department in a wnv that will trive even the smallest a way that will give even tne m ■chnols n Chance to make exhibits that schools a chance to make exhibits that will be creditable to themselves and to the communities represented, and, besides this, will offer suitable prizes for a champion spelling contest, which ought to bring many more represents-1 tives from different parts of the state. Should Have a Part. In addition to the reasons named above, the boys and girls should have a part in this celebration because of what they are doing for Montana, the state fair and themselves. Montana has always had money enough to fur nish buildings for its horses, its cat tle and its sheep, and even its hogs,; but so far it has failed to provide a suitable bui'ding for its boys and girls and the splendid work they are doing in school. Last year this want was felt so keenly that the boys and girls said they would build one for themselves, A'l over this great state they are plan ning, working, giving their entertain ments and actually turning in the money to their teachers and county superintendents, who are cooperating with them in this work, and my hope is that at least one of the sessions can be held in the new educational building, with the boys and girls of Montana as the hosts of the occasion. Very truly yours, H. A. DAVEE, Supt. Public Instruction. "Officer 666."

Concerning Louis Agassiz, natural ist, when a professor at Harvard, this story is told by James Kendall Hos mer in his "The Last Leaf": "As he strode homeward from his walks in the outer fields or marshes, we eyed him gingerly, for who could tell what he might have in his pockets? Turtles, tadpoles, snakes, any old monster might be there. He was on the friend liest terjns with things ill reputed, even abhorrent, and could not under stand the qualms of the delicate. He was said to have held up once in all innocence before a class of school girls, a wriggling snake. The shrieks and confusion brought him to a sense of what he had done. He apologized elaborately, the foreign peculiarity he never lost running through his con fusion. 'Poor girls, 1 will not do it again. Next time 1 vill bring in nice clean leetle feesh.' Agassiz took no pleasure in shocking his class; on the contrary he was most anxious to engage and hold them." Third Public Forum at Lincoln schoolhouse Wednesday evening, Jan. 28, at 8 p. m.

Holland Submarines. Philadelphia Press: In 1875 the first of a series of submarine craft Invent ed by John P. Holland, and the direct ancestor of the modern submarines in the United States navy, made its ap pearance. The first Holland was a tiny affair with just room enough for one man to sit down amidships and work the pedals that turned the pro peller. It was 16 feet long, 2 feet deep and 20 inches wide. It is probably the smallest submarine ever construct ed. In 1887 Holland had built a second boat at New York. It was 10 feet by 3 % feet by 3 feet. Its screw was driven by a small gas engine. It was used for experiments on the Passaic river, but the inventor was not pleased and took the machinery out and sunk the hull under the Falls brdige at Paterson, N. J. Holland III. was launched at New York in 1881. It was 31 feet long and 6 feet in diameter, cigar shaped. After a series of experiments this boat was dismantled and left at New Haven. In 1883 the John P. Holland Torpedo Boat company was formed and in 1884 Holland IV. was launched at Jersey City. In 1885 Holland V. made its appear ance. It was 45 feet long and 7 feet in diameter. She came to grief on the rocks in a short time, but was refloat ed and used for experiments on en closed waters. In 1892 Holland took out a patent for a vessel which he called the Plung er. This, his sixth boat, was never built; but the plans, somewhat modi fied, were used for the construction of Plunger II., or Holland VII. This design was submitted in competition to the United States government and was chosen from a large number sent in, and in 1895 a contract was signed for the building of a submarine of 100 tons displacement and 85 feet long by the Holland Torpedo Boat company. Before she was completed the Holland company had so far advanced on an other boat which they considered much superior that they offered to refund to the government all expenses connected with the original design if they would give them a contract for LOW ROUND TRIP FARES To Florida Coast Resorts via the "MILWAUKEE" December 9, 16, 23, 30, January 6, 13, 20 and 27, 1914.
