OFFICES NEW YORK AN CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES Our Slogan: "Bemidji 25,000 Population in 1925" What may be the last annual em campment of the Grand Army of the Republic will be held in Washington from September 27 to October 3. It will be the fortieth annual encamp ment and the fiftieth anniversary of the grand review. The National Defense league will hold a conference in Washington the week following the encampment. The June rainfall in Bemidji and vicinity was greater than during any month during the thirty-one years that the local record has been kept and there was but four absolutely clear days and about forty per cent as much sunshine as would have been possible. Only one day in the month was there 100 per cent of the total possible sunshine. There were 12 days recorded as partly cloudy, and. 16 days as cloudy. There was more than a trace of rainfall on 15 days. There was a light frost June 9, hail on June 27, and thunder storms June 5, 12, 14, 17, 23, 26, 7 and 28. The total possible sun shine for the month is computed to be ~*66.6 hours, but there were only 190 hours recorded. Vincent's Advice. Using Minnesota rural schools not as a perch in the flight to something higher but as a permanent home where an influence for good over a long period of years may be exer cised, is urged by President Vincent of the University of Minnesota. He gave this advice at the morn ing chapel exercises of 1,100 teach ers and principals in the summer ses sion of the state teachers' training school at the Minnesota college of agriculture. President Vincent outlined the pos sibilities open to principals of con solidated schools. He suggested as a valuable model to follow the feat ure of the Danish rural schools which provide a permanent home for their principals and teachers. EDITORIAL EXPLOSIONS Why not march the militia boys to camp, instead of giving them a ride in passenger coaches? The long walk would do them good and give them a real touch of soldier life and disci pline and training. Their muscles would become hardened and they would be doing something that would better fit them for the real work of soldiers in active service.^Mankato Free Press.

Elk River Star-News. t* SEES NO RUSH TO NAME COMMISSIONER H. H. Flowers, speaker of the house, declares there is no necessity of speedy action in naming the four members he is authorized to appoint on the new economy and efficiency commission. He said he will consult with Lieu tenant Governor Burnquist and Gov ernor Hammond before his return. The lieutenant governor also has four members to appoint and the governor three. "The commission cannot get to work until fall at the earliest," said Mr. Flowers, "and although I might be prepared to name my men at once I can see no reason.for rushing the matter." It is said that Mr. Flowers has de cided to name Representatives Thom as J. McGrath of St. Paul, Thomas Girling of Robbinsdale, Hennepin county, Fred Bessette of Cook, St. Louis county, and Charles H. War ner of Aitkin, Aitkin county. From the senate it is said that Senators James A* Carley of Plain view and F. A. Duxbury of Caledonia are sure to be members, and Senator Henry N. Benson of St. Peter is also mentioned. Representative L. C. Spooner of Morris, chairman of the house com mittee which considered the economy and efficiency bill, has not been con sidered as a house appointee, it is said, by Mr. Flowers, and is he is named it must be by the governor. But it is understood that the gov ernor will not appoint any members of the legislature, and has picked tentatively three outsiders, including Charles P. Craig of Duluth, chair man of the old economy and efficiency commission. In this event there is sure to be a political ruction as Mr. Spooner hard ly will like the idea, it is believed, of being ignored in the house while the senators who supported the bill are named. WIFE OF NEGRO CLAIMS SHE IS WHITE San Francisco, July 2.Efforts of Mrs. William N. Lytle, wife of~a negro dentist, to obtain an annul ment of marriage on the grounds that a scientific blood test proves her to be pure white, have stirred up a warm discussion among physicians and chemists here. Professor Frederick P. Gay of the University of California, holds that there is no blood test which will de termine whether a person has a trace of Ethiopian blood. "All human blood, regardless of race, responds to the same reac tions," declared Dr. Gay. "I proved this by a series of experiments at Harvard. If any man claims he can tell by a blood test the difference be tween a black man and a white, he is either faking it, or he has discovered* a process that will make him famous. We have not got far enough along to tell that difference between them yet. "But we are able to tell the differ ence between human blood and ani mal blood. This is done by immu nating a rabbit against human blood and then testing the sample with the immunized blood several days later. If the rabbit's blood congulates the sample it is human blood. This test is frequently used in the criminal courts. "The only safe manner of telling whites from blacks is by comparing the color under the fingernails. This is the only method known to science." Mrs. Lytle declared, however, that her physician has clearly established her race by means of a scientific blood test, so it seems probable that there will be a clash of scientists when the case gets to court. Mrs. Lytle, who signs her com plaint Margaret Buckner, says she married Dr. Lytle when under the impression that she hadneg ro blood in her veins. Taken from a convent by a negro "mammy," she says she was raised firm in the belief that she was part negro. After her marriage, white friends ridiculed the claim that she was colored, and the blood test followed.

Qualities Mutt fie Cultivated by Prac tice and Becomes Fixed Habits. [Prepared by the United States bureau of education.] "Training for Citizenship" has a meaning comparable to that of "train ing for athletics." It suggests being "in training," with the activity largely on the part of the learner, while the teacher takes the part of a "coach." Training for citizenship, like train ing for athletics, includes learning "the rules of the game," a certain amount of necessary information. A problem of the teacher is to determine how much and what information is neces sary. There is no fixed rule for this, but, broadly speaking, that information is most valuable which can be embod ied in the present life and experience of the learner, and not that acquired' merely because "it may be useful some day." Mere information is not enough to qualify an athlete. There are other qualifications, the cultivation of which is a part of his training. The same holds true in citizenship, and the qual ities for which an athlete trains are in a measure those demanded by good citizenship. One of these is an interest in the game, supplying an impelling motive. The apathetic participant cannot be ef fective, either in sports or in citizen ship. The athlete differs from the citi zen, however, in that the athlete is one from choice, while the citizen is one from necessity. If a boy has no in terest in athletics he simply does not become an athlete. If he has no inter est in his citizenship he is still a citi zen, but an ineffective one. It is a part of the citizen's training to discover why his citizenship is a matter of vital moment to him. The right kind of in formation, the kind he can embody in his present life and experience, will help him to make this discovery. Most of the qualities of good citizen ship, as of good athletics, cannot be acquired merely through instruction. They must be cultivated by practice and become fixed as habits. Some of the qualities best cultivated in this way are a spirit and habit of team work (co-operation), a sense of per sonal responsibility for the success of the group, good judgment and loyalty to the group. Even much of the best information comes through doing rath er than through formal instruction. A group of boys was studying the community in which they lived from the standpoint of cleanliness and beau ty. They "observed" the condition of the streets and alleys and of their own front and back yards and "discussed" the reasons why their community should be clean, wholesome and beau tiful, the arrangements for removing rubbish, the effectiveness with which it was done and the responsibility of each citizen for the community's ap pearance. So far it was a good lesson in com munity civics. The boys were acquir ing valuable knowledge, much of which could be put to immediate use. But they needed to "do" something about it, not so much to clean the city as to cultivate habits of good citizenship by practice. At this point their train ing went wrong. A well meaning or ganization desiring to co-operate of fered a prize to the boy who should bring in the largest number of old tin cans. There was great competition, and some of the boys actually carted "into" the city loads of cans from the city's dump heaps. The fundamental error in judgment was in cultivating a wrong motive. It resulted in substituting selfish compe tition for community co-operation, in submerging the sense of personal re-. sponslbility and in developing disloy alty, to the community for personal ends. It shows the need of standards by which to test the value of methods of civic training and of particular cases of children's participation in civic life. In Japan marriage signifies adop tion, and a wife ranks only as an adopted child in her husband's fam ily. The Japanese mother-in-law is an awful tyrant but is always the wife's mother-in-law.
