Southwestern Division will fullfill its pledge to enroll more than 4,000,000 members during the present drive. Tho membership campaign, which was to have ended last Monday was continued until December 31 to enable the Division to enroll more members, pi 1 of the British Seamen's Union recently "arrived on the Mauretania and has come to this country for the purpors of helping the campaign of the American Defense Society to boycott German made goods. He is now on a lecture tour throughout the country under the auspices of the Defense Society. His organization represents eleven million pledged British votes to a boycott on German made goods. "The merchant marine officers and members of the British Seamen's Union in September 1917," says Captain Tupper, "had agreed not to salute the German flag, not to employ Germans on ships and not to touch or unload a cargo of German goods for a period of two years and that the boycott be extended one month for every atrocity the Germans committed on the seas from then on.

The boycott now extends for seven years and over 17,000 seamen have been murdered by U-boat commanders. These seamen have not been killed in fair combat but the murders have taken place when the men have been killed in their small lifeboats.

Joseph. The Colorado feeder grand champions were taken for the "movies" of the American Aberdeen-Angus Breeders' Association, and will be shown all over the United States. The famous Trigg range herd of Aberdeen-Angus on the old Bell ranch near Tueumcari, New Moxico, where Aberdeen-Angus roam the range was also shown in the "Doddie Movie' 'of the national Association at Chicago during the International show. This is the greatest range herd of "blacks" in the world. McGregor's carload of Aberdeen-Angus from Kansas also won a red ribbon in the carlot class.

"The influenza epidemic and the bad weather interforred with tho work or the Division long ago would have redeemed its pledge. "Everyone knows that the work of the organization must go on but the work cannot go on unlscs we have members. When the full report is in, providing the workers continue to do their utmost, I am certain that the Southwestern Division will be found in its old place of setting the pace for the country." That all chapters continue to enlist members irrespective of the number they have obtained was the appeal sent out to the chapters in the division by Johnson, George W. Simmons, manager of the division, Joseph Dickson, executive of the campaign, and Louis Le Reaumc, who has been directing the publicity of the roll call drive. UOOM IN SCHOOL BUILDING Public interest in the question of prolonging the school life of the American child has been stirred up in all parts of the country through the intensive drive towards that end now being conducted by the Children's Bureau, Department of Labor.

More than half the states have declared their intention to fight vigorously the too-early withdrawal of boys and girls from the public schools of the land. In many communities unusually large school building schedules have been arranged, and other measures have been taken to help the "back -to-the-school" movement and to provide for the comfort and health of the children while their, education is being completed. In New York City the largest school building program ever undertaken by the Board of Education is now tinder consideration. School buildings are urgently reeded In the metropolis. In order to speed tip construction a plan to let a general contract for such needed buildings to some big construction firm on' a basis of cost plus a fixed percentage of profit is being discussed by the New York superintendent of schools, the city superintendent of buildings and representatives of a number of big building construction firms.

The New York state education law and the New York City charter both require that contracts for construction of school buildings be awarded to the lowest bidder.

The city charter, however, permits the waiving of competitive bids when the Board of Aldermen approves. The fact that the builders guarantee the completion in eight months or a year of school buildings that it now takes from two to three years to finish, and that the cost will be more reasonable, is considered a strong argument in favor of this new "rush" plan of construction. The New York Board of Education has available for school buildings more than $10,000,000. It has plans under way for construction work that will cost approximately $4,000,000. Further evidence of a nation-wide stimulation Of interest in school questions is seen in recent steps taken by various communities to emphasize, the importance of prolonged school training, for our future citizens.

In Washington, D. the Board of Education, working in co-operation with the local "Children's Year" committee, child labor section, has requested the school authorities to throw open to this committee all lists of former pupils vi me jfieiuest needs the care and treatment of the four million sufferers of the Near East has been adequate medical attention as well as food and necessary supplies. Buildings for the fifteen former American government hospitals have already been built in Turkey, Armenia and Syria. The hospital equipment is now in France. This equipment, together with large stores of medical supplies will be moved into the suffering districts immediately.

Motor trucks have already been taken over by the relief organization and are being used in returning refugees to their homes and in distributing food to starving cities. In the aggressive move for relief supplies in the Near East, the committee did not hesitate to make estimates on the returns from the campaign for thirty million dollars which will be made in the United States January 12-19. Every dollar of the money raised in this campaign will be used in sending food and supplies to the starving, sulfenng districts. Already large sums are being forwarded to the headquarters in New iork to meet the urgent demands. Kansas City, Dec.

A call has been issued for a gathering in Kansas City, January 21, 1919, of representatives of the various highway associations throughout the country, for the purpose of federating the bodies into a league to better promote the cause of good roads.
