unity ir the state promises to be
ne OF the most helpful. Hereto
re a number of meetings of trus-
res have.been held in connection
ith Institutes, county fair F, ETC.,
ut nothing of permanent nature
suited. The plan suggested by
superintendent Davee provides
;or an organization that stands on
is own merits and not as a side
show to some other meeting. AS
such, it is appe ling to the trus-
lees in such a way that it will be
but a question Of short time I'M
I'll every county in tile state will

stitution can be made to suit the
needs of each county, d simple
form, providing for the usual CT
fices and an executive committee
of five members that leaves both
the tape and the detail to be
worked out in the bylaws where
they really belong, is proving to
.be the most satisfactory.
The annual meeting is called at
the county seat, where a one-day
session is held with the county
superintendent and the local board
acting as hosts. Opportunity is
given each district to bring up
and discuss the questions that
most vitality concern it, and the

the expense of his own plate, ii |

incurred. Then other meetings |

heart is right, it is no farther from
the co"nty seat to the most re-
mote part of the county than it is
from the most remote part of the
county to the county seat.
Among the questions that are
proving the most profitable for
discussion are: Transportation Of

10 recommend to Congress a naval build
ing program to extend over a period ol
tive years.
of course" he says, no Congress
can bind another. but if Congress would
appropriate on the basis of five-year
building program plan. We could 60 for
ward with construction more rapidly
than hitherto"
The details of the naval building pro-
gram have not been determined. the
naval general board being engage upon
the number of ships of various types and
the chief characteristics of the vessels.
1t has been decided to include in the
1916 building program battle cruisers and
battleships in equal number. certainly
two of each type and perhaps four: de-
stroyers. of such ne1 design as is suS-
Gcsted by new development in the type;
submarines. possibly to the extent OF
forty or fifty of the smaller and the sea-
going displacement: Gunboats. which are
OF value in Central American and Asiatic
waters; auxiliar ries which shall embrace
fuel ships and hospital ship.
The general board in its report this
year will suppy the Secretary Of the
May with the arguments in favor of
the retention of battleships. destroyers,
and submarines and of the admission OF
the battle cruiser as the leading features
in the building program. There are. OF
course, the usual differences Of expert
view regarding types and chief char
actristics with special reference this year
TO the usefulness of the battle cruiser
which gains support among the skeptics
on account Of the Japanese adoption OF
the type.
There is also the usual discussion OF
the relative value of armament. protec-
but hn Indlr2-
tions are that the battleship of the 1916
program will not be materially different
from the design of 1915. unless the Eng
lish-German fleets have their long-de-
ferred collision and furnish a dcmonstra-
tion that will aid in the determination
of new chief characteristics.

speed. that of 81 knots. on the theory
that If we are to have a ship where
speed is an essential We may as well
go the limit.

naval aviation and opportunities for the

Secretary Daniels has taken a keen in

and resources of that branch of serv-
ice activity and has fortified himself with
statistics which shall convince Congress
of the practical value of an adequate

Army and Navy Jottings

There is no present prospect of any

ing an annual test ride for field officers
as demonstration of physical fitness
to perform active duty. Some effort in
that direction was made. and tho sub

staff \ report was made to the Chief
Of staff on the subject but the Secretary
Of War was disincined to make any

time believing that the benefits derived
from tho test ride justified the continu-
