MILITARY DRILL IN sOHOo1e.

President A. T. HadIey of Yale fgi the first college president to come out for a broad course of military tradni1e. for college students. The movement for better military preparation has led many people to favor introducfnE it into colleges and high schools. This is a matter on which there are many points of view. Most people Wo1lld admit, however, that a certain amount of such work is very useful to any boy.
 Performance of military exercises. and evolutions under a good driIImas- ter, should give 3, boy an erect pos ture, People stoop too muck. They cram down their lungs into a narrow box of bonea when the organ was meant to be free and loose. The body misses it's fresh air and becomes anaenic.
 There is too much shuffling and shambling along the streets by these stepping people. Going along with their eyes on the ground, they look absorbed or discouraged, which is for bidding and depressing. The fellow with head erect looks hopeful and inspires confidence.
 Military drill also makes boys quickly responsive to commands. The human mind naturally works slowly. If unused to acting in company with others. the order of a commander seems to run up against some blank wall of slow thought. So it is that the bunch of raw recruits are all over the street Their mental reaction is slow, and their nerves and muscles don't keep time with their minds. As they practice the taking and recefV- ing of orders, these faculties become alert and resp onsive and the drill ac- quires precision and uniformity
 Modern life calls for quick thinking and immediate reactions Any ex- perience that promotes these acquire ments has great value. The sense of rhythm and the enthusiasm Of numbers make any kind of drill by companies of people an InYigoratinE and awakening experience Boys are never tired of playing soldier. They would find such drills as a part ofi school or college work, physically stimulating and mentally p1easurable.. to say nothing of the possible mili-- tary value.

A PROGRESSIVE MOVE.

County Superintendent of Schools,

tire all week, visiting public schools in
this vicinity. Saturday he will con-
duct teachers and parents meetings
in the High School assembly room.
The morning session will be held at

better mutual understanding and
closer cooperation. Supt. Boerger

day local organization of teachers
viii be perfected, which will carry on
work outlined by Supt. Boerger in a

Sucking Fish.

A curious looking object is the suck.
ing fish. which has a peculiar disk
fitted to the crown of it's head. By
means of this it attaches itself to any
fish it chooses-a shark or whale. for
instance, or turtles and even ships
and so it is carried about without any
trouble. When once attached they
stick like glue, and they are occasion
ally used for purposes of fishing. A
line is fixed to the fish's tail, which is
then set free. AS soon as it discovers
a fish or a turtle it takes a firm hold
In the simplest form of fishing the line
is dragged in and the sucking fish
hauled up, together with it's captive
In the case of a turtle the fisherman
dives after. the line and so secures the
victim .-..s. go. -.

SUBMARINE TACTICS.

Locating the Enemy, Getting the Range
and Making an Attack. -1@-
How does submarine attack? How
does it locate the vessel it wishes to
torpedo and how does it proceed about
the business of sending such vessel to
the bottom? Here is the way the com
mander Of Uncle Sans submarine flo
tilla tells it: .HE.z7% ~1)As ~s ~
"a submarine will come to the sur
face at 5000 or 5000 yards from the
vessel it is attacking--far enough So
the enemy Is not supposed to see the
perfscope. 1t stays up long enough to
get the enemy's course. then goes down
and sets it's course to intercept the en-
emy's ship.
1.-THE vessel must be coming more or
less toward the submarine, otherwise
the submarine, with its low submerged
speed, cannot catch it.
1.-THE officers of the submarine will
know the revolutions of the approach
Ing ship and will use the gyrocompass
with which to work out it's exact posi-
hon. They will know just when to
come up to be within range.
when the submarine comes up 1t
will show the periscope as little as pos
sible, take quick aim and fire its first
torpedo. If 1t wants to remain there
out of curiosity to see the effect it can.
But If it does not it goes right down
again.
1T stays short time under water,
turns the cap bringing new torpedoes
up into the tubes and then comes up
for a second shot If necessary" Pitts

RELICS OF A LOST RACE.
Articles That Were Used by the Ara.

Articles That Were Used by the Ara
WAX Indians Of Jamaica.
When in 1894, on his second voyage,
Columbus discovered the island of
Jamaica, it was populated by the Ara
wax Indians, who. although at first
hostile to him. became friendly on his
giving them clothing and other articles
before unknown to them.
When later the Spaniards settled the
island they forced the Indians not only
to do agricultural work in their own
island, but to labor in the gold mines
of Haiti So hard were the Spanish
taskmasters that by 1858 the whole
Arawak nation was exterminated.
During recent years G. G. Longley Of
Pelham Manor has been seeking to re-
cover all possible traces of the lost
race. To that end he spent much time
on the island in exploring the old
kitchen middens or refuse heaps of the
Arawaks, in which he has found, be-
sides shells and pottery and fish, turtle
and cony bones, many celts or rude
chisels. grinding stones, stone pendants
and axes-1,5O0 objects in all.
The whole collection he has given
to the American Museum Of Natural
History in New York city.
The most interesting objects are the
stone pendants. which were
fashioned with sand and stone by
endless rubbing. Pendants of exactly
the same sort are worn today as in
