Ninety Irvington young people are taking life very seriously these days, because on their shoulders rests the task of setting precedents that will go on as long ‘as there is a Howe High School. : \

such, they have more than Latin

Class Officers and Colors.

With these -two - matters out. of the way come requirements for class officers, class colors and constitu tion. And not the least is the probs lem of whether ta purchase a class gift for the school and set still another precedent. These are matters that can’t be tossed off lightly. To solve them, the Howe seniors have organized into committees. to make research ahd to propose action. Not one of the seniors has spent all his ‘high school days at Howe.

[GERMANS STRIP

VICTIM NATIONS

Staggering Indemnities and Occupation Costs Are Revealed in Report.

WASHINGTON, Feb.11 (U.P.).— A Treasury survey made available to Congress said today that Germany has stripped conquered nations of their resources. Confiscation of property im Poland has been estimated between $2,000,000,000 and $2,500,000,000; the cost of the army of occupation alone in France is at the rate of 146,000,000,000 francs a year, the survey said. The report was printed in the Congressional Record of an extension of an address by Rep. Laurence PF. Arnold (D. Il). German acquisition of the industrial resources of nations under her control, Rep. Arnold's address said, has been accomplished through staggering war indemnities and assessment of the cost of intaining armies of occupation in the conquered countries, “Wherever the Germans went they requisitioned existing food and petroleum stocks, irrespective of the minimum needs of the local pope ulation,” it said. “At least 1,500,00Q tons of petroleum stocks were seized in France and perhaps a half-mil-lion tons in other countries. “This is roughly cne-fifth of Germany’s needs for a year of active warfare. “In all the invaded territories the conquered country is required to pay in cash the full cost of the army of occupation, as estimated, of course, by the German authorities “This may explain the fact that the common German soldier in occupied Holland is receiving eight marks per day salary, the equivalent of $3.20 per day.”

College Bible Courses Urged

If a college calls itself a Christian college, it should require courses in religion and Bible for graduation, says Edgar H. Evans. Mr. Evans sets forth his reasons for this opinion in his booklet, “Let Us Develop Religion in Colleges,” published recently. He has had many years’ experience as a college trustees and Presbyterian layman.

He has received honorary degrees from the United Brethren School, Indiana Central College here, and from two Presbyterian colleges, Hanover and Wabash. He is also a trustee of the last. “It is no more possible to force the student’s belief in religion by requiring that he study it than to compel him ‘to accept scientific theories taught him in college,” Mr. Evans points out. “Even so it is well worth while to lay religious and Biblical information before the student; such courses stimulate religious activities in college; and such activities bear fruit in improved character and morals. “Municipal and state operated schools are under certain legal restraints regarding the teaching of religion, but church and independent institutions are free to do as they please in the matter. However, only 400 out of the 500 church schools in the country require courses in religion and Bible, while

many are content to demand th students attend semi-religious or ix spirational chapel exercises.”
