COMMENCE TASK OF
RAISING SUBMARINE
Salvage Lighters Attempting to
Bring At to Suffice

Plymouth. Eng. Jan. 23.-While not
even their most sansuine relatives
have the slightest hope that any of the
eleven men buried at sea i'm the sub
marine Al may be alive. their fate
will not be officially known until the
recovered vessel is placed in dIydocI,.
The admiralty gave orders when the
work of raising the submarine was
undertaken that no attempt To open t.
should be made until it Is safe i'm a
naval Grydock, away from the public
gaze.
The arduous task Of raising the
sunken Az was begun at dawn today
by an especially equipped salvage
lighter. The first thing attempted was
to pass several stout hawsers about
the huh of the submarine The work
was very slow and difficult, because
Of the pressure of the water. The sub
marine lies in thirty-three fathoms OF
water, nearly POO feet, and it is i'm
possible for divers to remain below
more than twenty-five minutes. Thus
the work OF adjusting the haWsers had
to be done by relays
1t was estimated that it would take
all day, perhaps even longer to get
the submarine up. 1t lies more than
a mile and a half from where it was
supposed to come up last Friday and
is deeply imberlded in sand. When the
Al is brought to the surface it will
be loated on RATS and towcd ashore.
The work was watched by a huge
crowd ashore, but none was allowed
destroyers guarded the spot above the
sunken submarine, warning off boats.
The destroyer Ernest discovered the

possibilities of direct instruction in
citizenship
Present methods of teaching civics
will be carefully investigated Wheth.
er il is sufficient that children should
know how the president is elected. or
that they should be able 10 recite the
constitution; to what extent modern
social and civic questions-clean
streets, pure water, milk supply, fire
protection, means Of transportation,
cooperation. suffrage, divorce, etc,
are to be considered: These are the
sort of questions to which the new
corps will have to give attention.
Special EFFORT will be made to re-
port the many attempts on the part of
progressive communities to give all
school subjects a more definite civic
value. In Kansas City, Kan, for ex.
ample, the chemistry course in the
high school is in effect a course in
practical civics-such things as water
and milk analysis, with tseir signifi-
cance in community life, are empha-
sized, and high school students serve
in the municipal laboratories. Cleve-
land teaches municipal problems in
the biology course. Indianapolis has
a course in community arithmetic" in
the elementary schools. Vocational
education and school hygiene both
have civic phases of immense impor.
tance. These and other practical mat.
ters in citizenship training will be
carefully examined.
