AS noted elsewhere in this issue, the Courtland School opens it's twenty second year on Thursday, Sept 26. The school has been so long and fla vorably known in the community that it is hardly necessary to emphasizesthe advantages it offers to those who en-. roll themselves as members The New England College Qualification Board has set the seal of it's approval upon its equipment and methods by grant ing it the certificate right. and it's longtime patrons gladly bear witness to the thproughness of it's training in other than college preparatory lines. and to tn etrue refinimen that char- acterizes all it's various activities. An exceedingly competent teaching corps will direct the work of the institution during. the coming year, the outlook for which is unusually bright. Miss Miner will ume her classes. in mntherna tics, after a years interval. due to the death of her late associate, Miss Marble, which neeessftated an amount of general supervision that rendered personal teaching temporarily impossible. A new Kindergarten pri- mary class has been organized to re- ceive girls and boys of four years of age. The principal will be happy to show any interested persons the build ing and its equipment, and to consult with any who have daughters to be educated. See adv.

ID. BE SOME
 BATTLESHIP
WORLDS SENSATION WILL BE REALIZED IN THE
 PENNSYLVANIA

Washington, Sept. 14-The new bat tleship Pennsylvania-the one big fighter authorized by the last session of Congress-may be worlds sensa- tion, after all, if tentative plans of navy constructors are carried out. The fact that she is to carry 12 14- inch guns and a water-line armor pro- lection of Is inches in thickness has exceptionally long in order that her beam shall not be too wide for safe passage through the Panama Canal.
 When the battleship Delaware was laid down six years ago, it was found expedient to widen the canal from 100 to f10 feet and subsequently, the batt1eships Arkansas and Wyoming and the Oklahoma and Nevada were designed to meet the dimensions of the waterway. The Oklahoma and Ne Vada, each with a displacement of 27,- 800 tons, is 575 feet long and 95 feet beam.
 Realizing the risk of taking a fif- canal naval officials have decided in the case of the Pennsylvania to sacri- flee width in favor of length.
 Accordingly the Pennsylvania will have a beam of but 95 feet like the Oklahoma, but will be $50 feet long, or 55 feet longer. The new ship will have a speed of about 23 knots or more, against the record of 20.5G made by the Oklahoma. Her displace- ment may be as much as 31, 900 tons. or 35O0 tons more than the Okla honla.
 If these plans are carried into effect the Pennsylvania will be larger, have swifter than any batt1eship in the world

TALKS OF POLITICS IN CROWD OF SOAP BOX CAM
 PAIGNERS.

New York, Sept 14-The Bull Moos- cites spent all day yesterday explain ing the rights and the wrongs of the people to soap box audiences and are sure that they won hundreds of con- verts to the Colonels cause. Miss Ethel Roosevelt was the special attraction at the noon meeting held in front of the Public Library. She wore dark blue tailored suit with white collar and a small blue turban, and chatted with several persons in. the crowd concerning the campaign out look. Miss Morrison and MT and Mrs. Robert Elder furnished the Progress s:ve oratory at this stand, sand the de- mand forsT R. bandannas was steady but not feverish.
 Miss Mary Donnelly, who was chair man of the Madison Square meeting, partrnent which brought her several rounds of applause and doubled the audience which Suspender Jack McGee had already corralled.-
 A hundred men had just grouped | themselves comfortably on the east side of the park opposite pr. Park hurst's church to listen to an -exposi- ton of the crying need for the initia- tive referendum and recall when Mi chael McGarry, tall, broad and blond, and known the Apollo of the Twen- ty-first precinct, tapped Miss Donnelly on the shoulder and said:

 those nearest him in the direction of the curb. You've got-no right to ob struct traffic.
 Sure we have,'' retorted Miss Don nelly, fun1b1ing excitedly among the papers in her black bag.
 Look at that she added, waving a typewriter sheet in his face. That s a permit from Commissioner Stover."
 The crowd jeered.
 'eGet off the sidewalk.'' reiterated McGarry.
 s Don't you move.'' shrieked Miss Donnelly. Let him arrest all of you! He's a fine example of our intelligent Tammany police force. Can't even read; this one can't. Go on, arrest me if you dare
 McGarry by this time was re-enforc- ed by one colleague, but the two stood no chance against the militant moos- ette who. was backed by a large ma jorfty of the spectators.
 When Suspender Jack took a hand in the proceedings and ordered the blue e it's to keep quiet or get out, they were compelled to capituIate entirely, and McGarry folded his arms grinly and posed for the camera squad.
