OI-TICK OK County Superintendent of Schools Dakota County Regulations Governing Pupil Eighth Grade Examinations in 1918 1. Eighth grade examinations will be held in Homer, Dakota City, South Sioux City, Hubbard, nnd Juckson. However, if pupils take -their examinations at other points than these, they must see to it that their ex amination papers are sunt by express collect to Wilfred E. Voss, Dakota City, Nebraska. For the convenience of the conductors who send the papers or booklets to tho county superintendent of Dakota county, all Huch manuscript should have these words put in the heading: "Semi to Dakota County." 2. The examinations will be given at these points on tho following dates; Thursday, April 11th, and Friday, April 12th; and Thursday, May 9th, and Friday, May 10th. !l. Tho examination program shall bo as follows; Thursdny forenoon 9:00 to 10:U0, Grammar; 10:30 to 12:00, U. S. History and Civics. Thursday afternoon 1:00 to 2:30, Orthogiaphy, Writing; 2:30 to -1:00, Physiology, Drawing. Friday forcnoon-9:00 to 11:00. Arithmetic; 11:00 to 12:00, Reading. Friday afternoon 1:80 to 2:00, Mental Arithmetic; -2:00 to 4:00, Geography, Agriculture. 4. Tho average passing grade shall be 75 with a minimum passing grade of G5 in any subject. 5. No pupil will bo permitted to retake a subject in which he has a grndo of at least 80. (j.jj When it has been determined that a pupil has passing grades in all required subjects and an average grade of at least 75, his remaining manuscript, if any, will not be graded. 7. No grade below 80 earned in previous years will be accepted towards completion of tho eighth grade course. This includes seventh grade grades also, it follows, therefore, that passing grades must be earned again in lieu of those old grades that aro below 80. 8. Where, in order to facilitate the work of a rural school, seventh and eighth grade subjects have been combined, pupils may be privileged to take examinations in such subjects in, which the work was completed as outlined in the course of study. However, the pupils may take no such subjects for which they have not been recommended bv their teacher to take. Furthermore, pupils who aro not 14 years old bv the close of this school year should not take eighth grade examinations in such subjects except upon the advice of the County Superintendent. 9. Any seventh grade pupil may take tho eighth grade examination in not moro than one subject in which ho has completed the work as outlined by the course of study. 10. Certificates of achievement earned through bpys' and girls' club work will be accepted in lieu of a grade in agriculture by examination. For the first certificate submitted a grade of 75 will be awarded; for a second one earned by work in tho same club 5 will bo added, but 10 will be added for a certificate that covered another kind of club work. If a third certificate is submitted an additional 5 will bo added. However, if a grado in agriculture is earned by examination, 5 may be added for each certificate submitted until a pupil has a grade of 95 in the subject. 11. All grades will be sent to the principal or to tho rural teacher so they may be given to the pupils at such times when the knowledge of the grades to the pupil will no longer interfere with tho work to be done in certain classes. 12. Teachers should caution their pupils against collusion, and sug Kest ways to prevent, as far as possible, even the appearance of giving or receiving help from others taking examinations. 13. Each pupil must protect any and all of his writing, as far as possible, from tho view' of others being examined. To give, receive or obtain aid in any manner1 to bring about the answer to any question will warrant the cancellation of tho grades of all concerned. 14. The name of tho textbook studied by the pupil should be given in tho heading of each examination paper. Teachers should see to it that the pupils know tho names of the textbooks used. t 15. Pupils who do not have free high school privileges in their dis trict should send for tho free tuition card and apply for the tuition early in May. This will avoid delay and inconvenience. If a pupil fails to pass, his parent's application will merely become void. To Examination Conductors 1.

Pupils, too, should avoid, if possible, having to indicate corrections on their papers. 9. If a pupil does not writo on a question, he should put its number in the proper order, and writo the words, "Left out," in the space below the number. 10. Underscore words or parts of sentences when it will help to make the answer to a question bettor understood. The examiner will give but little credit for what ho will have to take for granted. 11. Rural school pupils attending in town districts should put tho number of their home districts on the examination papers, for the grades Bhould be charged to tho district that will pay the pupil's tuition in the high school. 12. On the final examinations, pupils should bo naked to retake enough subjects in which they have below 80 to assure them an average of 75. 13. A pupil should bo made to decide whether or not ho wants to hand in bin examinations. If his papers aro handed in, no one should take it upon himself not.to sond them to tho county superintendent. 14. Examination papers will bo on file for 90 days after the examina tion in May, subjoct to review by the proper.persons concerned, 15. Use pen and ink, except for drawings. 10. Permit no pupils to loavo tho examination room aftor opening the examination until tho close of the quartor concerned. WIM-'ltKU 13. YOMS, Superintendent "GO ON OR GO UNDER" By Hots L.

Sir. Hum-1 rfioinl Ik publisher of tho Dally and Trl-I viikl' Tilhuno of Kreinont, Nob., and In tilling many public ripcaklnt; engagement)) a the. prunctit time.) PrenUor Lloyd Gcorgo never coined a truer epigram than that "Wo must Ko on or go under." How tlio war is "going on" can bo understood, ovon in part, only by nose who have been near to it, which l.rlvllogo I recently had. That it is i ho moat colosual tragedy in human history is proved by n, glanco at any phnao of It. America's part in tho struggle Is be ing performed becauso America can not avoid It. Autocracy is running ninuclc and wo etand in its road. Hither It stalks triumphant over all lliut wo havo been taught to hold flncrod and dear or wo and those with U8 slay tho dragon from whoso red Jaws blood Is dripping. "Wo nnd it o.'innot livo in tiro world together. I havo Keen England, Franco and Ilolgium battling with tho beast. Now my own country la sending its men Into tho fray and tho effort and tho saorlflppfl that aro being mado abroad v. Ill noon bo witnessed here. Wo may not heo hero tho actual fighting. Lot uh hopo not. But wc cannot escapo tho other appalling features. Kngland is vindicating her tradi tions and her ideals. Sho is not fight ing for territorial expansion. This is by no means as vital or essential to her as is proof of tho binding naturo of her compacts. Tho preservation of Uelglan neutrality dr.ew her into l ho Htrugglo. For this her soldlors aro battling and her great navy is steamed up ready for tho master stroke; for this her women' aro work ing In field and factory and aro pour ing out their merciful ministrations in innumerable hospitals. Fianca is making tho great sacri fice. Paris, which sets tho styles for tho world, is wearing black as a sym bol or sorrow, and tho world is adopt ing It, for all tho world is mourning. But Paris and Franco, though in toarB, aro not without hopo. Thoy aro look ing eagerly forward to victory, when tho invading Huns aro driven from Trench soil and tho lost provinces of Alsnco and Lorralno will bo restored lo thoir rightful owners. Tho coming of tho American troops has given them new courage. With unexampled bravery they aro holding tho lino un til tho strength of Amorica can be hurled against tho foo. Tho republic still echoes with tho wild acclaim given to Gonoral Pershing and his ex peditionary forco. It will bo a mighty task for tho United States to measure up to French expectations. Hiding as I recently did up and down tho whole battlo front in Franco and Flanders, 1 saw much of tho suf fering Franco has heroically endured. Tier ruined cities and towns, her de vastated territory, her dead soldlors, her outraged womon, her tortured children, all cry out for vengeance. Every reported atrocity of tho Ger man army is true, and very much more. I got much ovidonco from oyo witnesses of unspcakahlo barbarities. All tho wators of tho sovon seas can never wash away tho foul stains. In Belgium, at a rccoptlon given by King Albort, I asked Ambassador Brand Whltlock what word could bo taken hack to tho peoplo of America. Ho said: "It is difficult to put it in a word, but this Is to bo said of tho Gormans: thoy disregard ovory sontl mont of honor and intogrlty, every thing wo hold sacred and dear. Thoy havo violated with utter Impunity ovory agreement I havo ever mado with them." Tho conclusion from this and a flood of other llko testi mony is that "wo must go on or go under." No compromiso or settlement with tho Hohonzollorns will bo moro than "a scrap of papor," Tho United States has one supremo duty at this hour. That is to furnish tlio monoy and tho man power to dofoat tho arcli enemy of liborty and of tho jieaco of tho world, 'W mm i r THE FARMER AND THE WORLD WAR By Henry J Waters C.Mr "Waters, an agricultural authority, formeily president of tho Kansas h'tnto Aki hull hi hI College and at present edi tor of tho Knnsns City Weekly Star, was In i:urop when tho world War began.) No class of men in this country should be moro interested in tho suc cess of tho war than tho farmers. Tho spirit of tho farmer is and al ways has boon tho essonco of democ racy, and this war is being fought, as tho President has so fittingly stated, to mako tho world safo for domocracy. No undemocratic civili sation has over given tho farmer a squaro deal. A world unsafe for democracy Is a world unsafo for tho farmer. With his Intorosts thus at stake, the farmor may well invest, to tho limit of his financial ability, in tho Lib erty Bonds which tho government is sues to help insuro success in this great struggle. It is truo that ho is "faking his land produco its full meas ure of crops, as a sorvico to the na tion. It is truo that ho ha3 given and is giving hla sons to fight in tho great cause. But theso alono aro not enough. If every man would do his best in whatever industry he is en gaged in, or ovon if every man could enlistx for actual combatant service, thero would still bo tho need for monoy. The examplo of Russia shows tho hopelessness of carrying on war without money. The citizens of tho United States all tho citizens must get back of tho "United States with every financial resource they possess. Aside from tho fact that they rep resent patriotic sorvico, Liberty Bonds aro tho surest investment in tho world. Tho credit of the United States better and greater than tho credit of any other enterprise on earth guarantees tho interest on these bonds and guarantees tho payment of tho principal upon maturity. They arc tho ono investment that drouth, lack of labor, financial panic, or any other contingency can in no wise af fect. The farmers havo at all times been wise investors-; thoy havo also been loyal, whole-hearted patriots. Be causo of theso facts tho country is counting on tho farmer. I am confi dent it is not counting in vain. THE WOMAN ON THE DOLLAR. It Is gonorally conceded that womon speak their minds freoly.
