HOLMES SUGGESTS
| MUSEUM FOR CITY
Superintendent Makes Report On
Meeting Of Educators.

Stanley H. Holmes, superintendent
of schools, suggested to the school
board at the regular meeting yester-
day afternoon that New Britain should
have a museum in connection with the
public school similar to that main
tanned by the Ohio Mechanics insti.
tute in Cincinnati.
The suggestion was part of his re-
port on the meeting of the National
School superintendent association in
Cincinnati. There were $500 men in
attendance and three hundred meet
ings We're held.
The museum in the institute, he
said, was started only a few years ago
and is now filled with interesting OBJ
jects of historical and educational
value One of the interesting pieces in
the collection in the desk carved by
Ben Pitman, the father of shorthand.
Their collection Of old locks probably
is the finest in the country. The mu-
scum is largely industrial, being locat-
ed in an industrial center similar to
New Britain.
Among the subjects considered at
the meeting were the standardizing Of
mental attainm ents, methods of eff
cheney, vocational schools, and gener-
al educational matters. Secretary of
War Garrison sent a recomm endation
to the superintendent urging military
training in High schools of the coun-
try. The sentiment of the meeting
was overwh Ginning In it's opposition to
the idea.
There was some doubt expressed as
to the possibility of standardizing
rental attachments. The sentiment
was in favor of increasing the eff
cheney not SO much by standards of
attainment as by improving the In
struction given by the teachers them
selves and the improved preparation
of teachers for service in the schools.
Mr. Holmes visited the continue
ton schools in Cincinnati, the first
city in the United States to introduce
this work In the schools. The large
German element probably was re-
sponsible for the estab lish ment of this
school. He also visited Cincinnatis
best equipped and most modern ele-
mentary school where one of the fea-
lures is the penny lunch The super
intendent also visited Pittsburg and
the Carnegie institution on a search
for the best kind of equipment for the
vocational school here. a.
CHAIRMAN ". w. Iraut OIL the COM
mitee on school Accommodations re-
ported that the contract for the voca-
tiOnal high school had been signed by
T. w. Grove and the bond filed. Work
on the school will be started soon and
the contract calls for completion of
the school by Jan. l 1916.
The graduation of the evening
school will take place March 81.
The truant officer reDOrted six ga spS
of truancy, Ill absences, Sc kept
home by sickness, 46 kept home for
other reasons, and eight taken off the
streets and placed in school.
The finance committee reported
bills amounting to $3,76201, which
were ordered paid.

DEMONSTRATES NEW SHUT-OFF
James Towers fnvents Device for Use
of Fire Observation-Disclosures Approyes.

James Towers. superintendent of
water departm ent, has invented a new
shut-off for the use of the fire depart
ment and before Mayor Quigley, Cap
tain Sheath and the members of En-
CINE company No. 1 he gave a demon
straton of its practicability this morn
ing. After seeing how it worked, the
mayor gave it his stamp of approval,
as did the firemen.
This shut-off is in the nature of a
clamp which is adjusted to any part
OF the hose, cutting off the water at
this point When a hose breaks the
clamp is adjusted and the water is
shut off without having to rush back
to the hydrant. 1t is also indispens-
able when a new length of hose is
added, as the men do not have to rush
back to the hydrant to shut off the
water.

to no more results than did the fire
of yesterday. At about 800 A. M,
four British vessels of the Pre-
dreadnought type had taken up posi-
tons at a point off Dardanus, on the
Asiatic side Their fire, observed
from shore, was very scattered, and
as usual in the last three days it was
without effect.
During the operations of today the
fire of the British was directed at

their marks. The bonn bardment came

At about 1915 a. M, British YES
sells entered the fire zone Of the OAR
danus and Kilid Bahr forts, which re-
piled promptly 1t was seen that two
British vessels were struck, and that
they steamed quickly beyond range.
All four of the ships taking part in
this operation \ then manoeuvred
around the bay, firing almost at ram
dom on the forts and on the Turkish
batteries of howitzers hidden in ex-
cellent positions in the hills. The fir
ing was so brisk that the sound of
it at one time was one continuous
roar. The horizon was filed with
drifting powder smoke.
1t was learned today from Turkish
medical officers that nobody was in
jured in the bombardment of the OAR
danelles positions Of Friday, March 5.
