WORKED BY STUDENTS
Garfield Lads Had a Lot of Fun While It Lasted—False Attack on Germans.
The Tribune Tuesday received the following communication from students at the Garfield high school:
Editor of Tin/ Tri'.'in.e--In one of the papers of the cilv it lias been represented" that. there v.-as a .mass meetins' at Garfield hiirh school to protest against the teaching of Olerman, and iry name appeared in the list of the ..rcnioristrators. The whole thing was a hoax worked on the paper. There n«-ver Mas such a meeting, no such vote was laken- no protest was filed with Mr.
V.'pits, and the whole think was a joke whi.-h the students worked on the ii"'."s i:ipers v. nic'i pul.'ished it. 1 wish The Tribune would print these facts set the students o£ Garfield right it a the people.

VERA COOK,
132:1 North Sixth street. MissgOook is the daughter of a well kitowr^railroad man living at the above number. The hoax was worked on the newspaper and it was twisted into an attack on Superintendent Waits and German citizens generally.
Mr. Records Statement.
T. W. Records, principal of Garfield high school, said Tuesday th3-* there has been no change in the school course and would not be, at least for the remainder of the school year. Mr. l-tr-eords said only a few of the stu'Unts attended a '.'mass meeting" at Twelve Points and that he was informed hy them afterwards that no resolutions were offej-ed and that the whole thing was done in a spirit of a hoax. '•nie other paper was simply "strung"
Hid Mr. Records. "The matter of dropping German is, of course, up to students' parents. If the parents wish their children to drop the study, even on ount of the war, the matter probably v. ill lie arranged, but the course will st^nd unchanged until the end of the year at least. Superintendent Waits informed me that he had received no petition or resolution."
Mr. Records, in addressing the §chool Monday afternoon, made the remark that if "any one was raising a cry about dropping German that person had better look to his lessons to see if he wasn't about to fail in the study." and the students shouted with laughter.
Superintendent Waits said no petition had been offered and his understanding of the affair was that it was an escapade on the part of some of the boys who did not find German agreeable from the student's point of view. "The study of German is entirely optional," Mr. Waite said. "The state says we must offer Latin and German in the high schools. We offer Latin, German and French. One language, not necessarily modern, must be Studied for two years. Any student may drop German if he desires."
CHURCH (MEETINGS CONTINUE.
The meetings at the Tabernacle Baptist thurch, Eighth street and Lafayette avenue, will continue until Wednesday night, when further ani.ouncements will be made. Rev. John Hard, of Terre Haute, will do the preaching and W. E. Houghton, of Kranklin, will direct the music. The public is invited to all the services. The meetings will begin at 7:46 o'clock.

Another flag raising was held in the east yards of the Vandalia railroad. A towering pole was Yeared at' Adams street and the Pennsylvania tracks and the two hundredv men cheered as old glory waved from the top of the pole.
There was left a balance from the fund of $3.25 and this was sent to the Tribune office to be given to Corhpany B's mess fund. Chairman Nulty, of the meeting, said l^iat of the ninety employes, five had already enlisted. These are Charles Price, W. S. White, C. E. Galloway, B. F. Barnes, James Warmouth.
Tlie Vandalia men had difficulty in getting a flag as large as they wanted. It was finally found at Greencille, O., and had it sent here.
WHERE BOY SCOUTS STAND.
Their Organization Will Not Be Turned Into Military Company. M. A. Wheeler, scout master, Tuesday issued a statement outlining the position of the boy scout now. He said:
To the Parents of the Scouts:—This letter is Avritten to prevent any misunderstanding as to the duties expected of the Bcv Scouts in case of war Their duties will in no way b:- changed"
Th^ only effect of a war will be that they may be able to do soma seoutiiv work, suited to their r-.ar.s. or the city, and some loral good •'.urn? to the Kcd Cress.
An off3r to do such woik will he made all over the United States. Of course Boy Scouts are too young to be called on for any military purpose or for the use of firearms or to fill positions involving physical danger to Themselves. They are too vounef to undertake any service requiring'"their absence from home, over night 3ut it may lie that they could be Of service in many ways, as bv doing ri es^enger work, assisting base hospitals, signaling, etc. The Smuts, would- unroll bandages, assist in first aid work, furnish first ui.l dressings:, tents, cots and other apparatus.
Thi: Boy acout movement is a nonmilitary organization arid will re main so.
