Commission's Report Adopted. - Genoa, May S (By tbe Associated - , Press)., The disarmament question boblted up today in a plenary wasion ' of the Genoa conference. - Walter Rathenau, tbe German for. c.ign minister, said tbe world's trade ' must tie doubled -before conditions could be better.- but this could not be done while nations were "jumping at each other's throats." , .,- Foreign Minister Tchitcherin, ot So-. viet - Russia, declared In -a . plea for 1 general disarmament : ' , ' , ' "pnly by a policy of peace, can the ... nations balance their budgets." 1 Ho - ' said Russia must insist upon reserva-" tions to the report of -the financial commission of the conference as U , carried provisions concerning - the league of nations, which Russia , did not recognize. He added that Russia , could not agree to renounce govern ment control over exchsnee onerations.

Why siiUeVCmteor High School -.,fIUve a Twelfth tirade? ! 1 li iS'Beause the colleges are con- stnntly raising their, standards, - and the average Uiy or girl leaving our High School is not thoroughly prepnr- 1 ed for1 the' Freshman year in a Cni-, versity or standard y A Grade' college. Thob-e' taking an A. B. course became discouraged on account of the quality and quantity of work-piled upon them. , 2. ;W know on good authority that the students : from- ; Northern ; High -schools rank almost as high as gvad- ; nates from many of our smaller col leges,' our Higlrschool students lieing -. far liehind. The-; High' sehool course should lie more standardized in the . t'Hited States, and tlius prevent con fusion. . , .1 There 'is a place in -our 'High school for a 12th grade from a moral and spiritual standpoint, ; A child be-. ginning , school at the age of six Will : be barely seventeen ; at the time' of ' graduation, some who have skipped a grade being but sixteen. I have heard mothers say how much ' they , hated to -have the son or ilaiurhter leave liomn . when so young, but what could they do? Keeping them hoaie a year out of school, would not remedy matters. These, young'-ters set off from, home so bravely and with high aspirations, little dreaming how much they ' yet need home and mother. They are at . the most critical age of life, and . are easily led astray b. bad companions and. insidious temptations.. Many a young person has given up church at- tendance, become skeptical and j form- ed bad habits in his. Freshman year, because he was too young to decide-, what was right or wrong;- ,We do not reflect on the great State schools, but ' , when boys y and girls enter College they are supposed- to be old and ma ture enouED to aovern uirauseivrs. '-- yThen let us have a 12th grade, but ' made It a genuine advance over tbe 11th, and a grade where earnest study Will be done,' and character built tip, ' and spirituality developed. -. 1 '.,' :;v:--'y: - 1 . ;-y-,.vA MOTHER. , City League Baseball Thursday.
