TKS LAKE SHOictf KEWB, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER ii, IMS. YEARS OF SOLDIERING AT U. OF President James Says That Course la Compulsory There and Rule is Enforced. QUALIFIES FOR ARMY Have Largest Armory in the World Outside of Nar (fife- tional Schools. That military-preparedness was a vital 'thins to our country was par tlculkrly impressed upon the law saak- era it the ttme of the ciril war. Con- gress passed a homestead net in 1862. giving hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands to achoola understate Senator Morrell of Vermont i responsible for the insertion m grant of a proviBo that any inatl- m that accepted lands under it Id give two years of military in- in their course, and 'that it »uld be compulsory upon every stu- it to take that two years of military training. I Then aa now it was believed that the security of the country demanded that the young men should have some miU- tnrjr training, and he prepared to serve their country if called upon to do so, as trained soldiers, "not raw recruits with no knowledge of discipline, tactics or the use of arms. v>- i A Part of the Course. It was known that the University of Illinois made military training a part uT^fS course, and that it had received grants of land under the act of but whether that act had- ever .amended, or was still in force course compulsory in the 111! dots state university were questions put up to President Edmund J. James of that Institution, a former president of Northwestern university. His re- ply shows that Illinois university has always made that course compulsory and that graduates of Illinois who take the full military course are quali- fied for appointment as lieutenants in the regular army, "the .state of Illinois," said Presl- James, "in--common .with the states of the Union, received, the law of 1862, a land grant of id acres of land for each and representative which the Id in the congress of the United for the establishment of a of higher learning In the inter- ests of agriculture and the mechanic arts. One of the conditions was Chat instruction in military tactics should be given in each of these Institutions. ; Always In Peres There. -â- ^•flti* provision the University of Illinois bus carried out in good faith over since it opened its doors, March "We require all freshmen and soph- omore mate students to participate in military drill three hours per week during the week, so that each boy who enters the University of Illinois as a freshman and completes the course will have drilled at least three hours a week through two years. "If be desires to become an officer in the cadet regiment he has two more years of training, and it is the opinion of the wa*r department that the stu- dents who complete this work are qualified for appointment as lieu- tenants in the regular army. You will remember that graduation from West Pbttt carries with it the privilege of being appointed lieutenant In the army. irgeet Armory In the World. State - of Illinois has just the largest armory used, so is I know. In any educational In- ton except the specific military In the world. Our cadet reg- it last year numbered nearly two men. I presume It will ex- two thousand the present year. Magical Transformation by Gloede Athletic Field Front Now a Central street, Evanston, is a high- way to the populous northwest section, a much used drive to the golf clubs on the west and a popular route to Wll- mette, so that a goodly portion of the residents have seen and admired the gardens which Landscape Artist Richard F. Gloede his put in along the entire front of the Northwestern university athletic field. The cut ac- companying this shows a portion of It. It Is too extensive to get entirely in one picture. Mr. Oloede's extensive greenhouses, gardens and offices adjoin this field on the east. At all seasons they show the beauty of trees, shrubs and blooming flowers of all sorts, that gladden the eye and cheer the spirit of all behold- ers. In front of the athletic field the boundary fence is one hundred feet from the sidewalk and along the en- tire frontage, nearly 700 feet, it has stretched a desolate waste, on which not even the grass marked contrast to grew evenly, In the Gloede gar- dens adjoining. Conceiving the Idea of making this bloom like his own gardens, Mr. Gloede secured the co-operation of William A. Dyche, business manager of the. university, and during the early spring his men transformed this un- inviting spot Into a real garden, ac- cording to landscape plans of his own. Flowers were planted and grew won- derfully, until now there is not a gar- den anywhere about here that shows such excellent growths, or attracts so much attention. No Chicago park or florist has such a fine showing of cannas as is to be seen here. Big beds, showing most of his thirty-two varieties of this plant, are now in perfect bloom. The color scale covers all the shades. Their growth is phenomenal. There are all sorts of other flowers in this big gar- den, but the cannas attract the most attention. Everything seems to have flourished there in spite of the un toward season. While this improvement is going on attention has been attracted to the urgent need of new training quarters inside the fence,, for the use of athletes as dressing rooms. The old building is very inadequate and shabby. It does not have enough hot water, Is cold as a barn, has nothing but an old radiator for heating purposes and Is not only old, but primitive in every way, and dilapidated. It is said that there is a fund of $15, 000 now available for the building of a new club house and that It Is soon to be erected,-directly south of the football field, opposite the main en trance. That will be all that Is need- ed to make this athletic field, now the best in the west in point of accom modations for track, football and base- ball, the best in all other particulars as well.

As yet we have not put up the standards for basketball and I under- stand that is the game which the boys wish to start in with. We do not know how many nights a week the buys may have the use of the floor, but that will bo arranged when the petition for uso of the gymnasium Is acted upon by the board of education." School House for the Public. "We aim to open the school h<>».<sc- to the public," added Mr. Zipf. "and application should be made t<> the board of education. A charge of about ten dollars will be made to any club or organization which uses the gym- nasium. But when the attendance is not limited to any particular set there will be no charge except possibly for light, heat and the services of a care taker." In the ctChOold of South Ki uiintou there is a program every nl6ht In the week and it Ib the plan of tt>« local board to do some of the things here that are carded out In the schools of the city In District 76 an informal dance is held In each ocnool esach Fri- day night. The affairs are under the auspices of separate neighborhood as sociations. A lecture generally pre cedes the dance. Talks on topics of current interest are given by men who are known as expert in their field. In this way a community spirit has been developed. The meetings are always well attended, the chargabeing only a dime. \7*" T- That community spirit is needed In Wllmette Is the gibt of the discission which took place Monday night. Mr. Illff told of an incident Which is char acteristic, according to many resi- dents of Wllmette. "A year ago Mrs. Illff and myself were asked to chaperon a dance to be given in Wllmette." said Mr. IIiff. "It was a dance which should have been attended by a large number of local people. Only one couple was present." All who wort at the meeting seemed to favor the movement for a club, where young men may spend their spare time nights, Saturday after- noons, and Sundays. "Of course," said Rev. Mr4Bowers, "it is not expected that the young fel- lows will be In the club rooms playing pool aTl day on Sunday. Those things will be cared for later on. The Idea excellent one and I think that it will receive the support 1 do not believe business district so that they will be accessible to all. There will be no red tape connected with the club. Any young man will be eligible for mem- bership. The aims of the club will be threefold â€" educational, moral . and physical. From time to time speak- ers will address the club. J. A. Teske again offered to allow any young man to address the New Trier Commercial association upon the proposition. It is planned to gel together as many names of young men who would join the club as is possible and then pre- sent the petition to the village board asking that they allow the club to move into the second floor of the hall. But before the petition is presented a contractor will have gone through the place and have prepared an esti- mate of the cost of fixing up the big room foi club headquarters. HAVE REGARD FOR THE SHOP GlRi£> "I got her first," said the girl, "and the queer part of It was, this waist fitted her exactly, only it's marked size 38 and she Said she's always worn 34, and she hasn't got any fatter either. I tried to tell her this make runs small, but nothing doing. I saw her going for youâ€"I know her kind. Thank goodness, there goes the bell!" And the girl began to fold away her stock. I looked from the harassed floor manager to the tired salesgirl. "The courteous customer!" I thought, and 1 hurried home. CUTGASRATEA SURPRISE TO BOARD Offer of Public Service Co. to Slice a Dime Well Received. [Continued from Paso. *1 Horace Drury, who spreads special assessments >ln the village, asked the board to consider a new method of redeeming tax deeds. The plan is to reduce the expense to property owners for redeeming tax deeds. The whole proceeding will be turned over to the state for service. It will save the owner $2.25 for service by local authorities and publication. The letter was highly praised by members of the board and referred. Several residents in the vicinity of Forest avenue and Twelfth street com- plained to the board about a colony of Italians living in a house on that cor- ner, who are alleged to play their na- tive musical instruments at unearthly hours and who_do not keep their homes ss tidy as their neighbors. - Attorney C. C. Carnahan, -music ex- pert, will Investigate the case. He will tell the board Just how far that body may legally aa to abuts the al- leged nuisance. Health Commissioner E. E. Moore will make an inspection of the place to see whether health regulations are not violated. The Garbage Plan. The board expressed its gratitude to the Wllmette Improvement associa- tion for an ordinance which that body drew up and presented to the trustees. A letter from Secretary Joseph Schantz accompanied the proposed or- dinance. By the ordinance, which was given to the Public Service commit- fee to work upon, garbage will be re- moved In Wllmette for from ten to seventy-five cents per week. "The rate la the lowest of any place In this country," said Trustee Baker. "Fifteen cities in Wisconsin have al- ready adopted the system of disposing of garbage. We figure that the village will collect about $14,000 per year to devote to thla work." "The clerk la Instructed to write a letter of thanks to the Improvement association for their work in prepar- ing this ordinance," said President Schmidt, and I appoint Trustees Bak- er, Helnsen, Attorney Carnahan, Health Commissioner Moore, and my- self to prepare the ordinance to be- come a law."

Tom had just come back from a five weeks' vacation on his farm uear Grand Rapids, Wis. Tom has spent his time clearing up a piece of timber land, and he says that since he has cut the underbrush, that he has a ten acre park. He plans to build a cottage on this piece of ground next year. "Is your land near a lake, Tom?" was tbe question put by a reporter. "I should say it Isn't. When I get a vacation I want to be a land duck and get away from the sight of water, that is. more than enough to drink or fill a bath tub." Tom promises a good swimming team at Northwestern this year, but says that competition Is going to be strong, for all the colleges are well- heeled with swimmers. He even ad- mits that Chicago has championship stuff on hand.
