The school Plant and Recreation.

Men will not tolerate in a public
school building a performance they
might witness without protest in other
places. says Clarence A. Perry. in a
bulletin just issued by the United
States Bureau of Education. For this
reason DR.. Perry thinks the move
ment to use the school plant for social
and recreational purposes is destined
to purify as well as popularize amuse-
ments.
"The teaching staff and other ma
chinery of the public schools are dedi-
Gated by the people to betterment
service" says DR. Perry. Therefore
society will not permit the building
erected solely for that purpose to be
put to a contrary use" Statistics
gathered by DR.. Perry from forty-five
leading cities in the United States show
that in one month there were over S00,-
900 attendances upon evening functions
in the public school buildings of these
cities. The bulletin declares that these
figures mean so many evenings in
wholesome activity by persons many OF
whom would otherwise have spent that
time in less beneficial pastimes.
These 100000 instances OF the in
fluence of the school in one month
whether scattered over many persons
or concentrated upon a few, indicate
the tremendous force for righteous.

NEW EFFICIENCY
REFORMS FOR NAVY
Daniels AbOlishes the Three months
Overhaul Period for Battle
ships.
TO BE ONLY ONE MONTH.
American Navy Warships Not to Lay
Up Three Months for Repairs.

Secretary Daniels announced Sun
day night the abandonment of the Gus
tomary three months annual dockage
period for battleships. In place OF this
annual overhaul he will substitute two
docking periods a year of not more
than two weeks each.
During these periods all repairs which
the ships forces are not able to make
viii be effected. Docking of battleships
for repairs at any other time viii not
be permitted except after examination
by board of inspection and survey.
The purpose of this change in this
routine is to avoid the disruption of the
battleship organization and impair OF
efficiency. Commenting on the change
Secretary Daniels said:
Efficient training requires con-
slant effort to reach a standard of ex-
cellence in skill OF officers and men in
all their war time duties, the cultiva-
tion of the spirit OF contentment are at
tanned by devoting the energy of the
personnel to all necessary drills and ex
ercises, to athletics, leave and other re-
creation all in due proportion. Any Sc
rious or prolonged interruption TO a
well balanced scedule of employment
of both men and officers cannot be
harmful to progress toward efficiency
and usually it results in the halting of
proper effort and in retrogression
when ship was sent to its home
yard annually for overhaul officers and
men were given extensive leave and of
necessity all drills and exercises had to
be wholly or suspended or imperfectly
carried out. This necessity followed
from the facts that the crews remain
ing on board were reduced by the large
number on leave, that much extraordi-
nary repair work had TO be done by the
ships forces that the ship filled
with yard workmen, were necessarily
more or less disorganized throughout
the whole repair period.
THE consequence was that upon com
pletion of repairs il was found that the
ship and crew, instead of resuming ac-
tive service in a state of trained eff
cheney, comparable to what it possess
ed on entering the overhaul period,
would have suffered in discipline, in
morale and in ship spirit and required
several subsequent months of active
drill and exercises before they could be
restored to their former state of read
mess for war"
Secretary Daniels said that provis-
ion would be made under the new pro
grams for adequate leave for both the
officers and men of the ships.

NAVY TO BE PAJAMALESS.
BIuejackets Did Not Appreciate Effort
to Supply Sleeping Garments.

Pajamas have been rejected by Uncle
Sans bIuejackets. About two years
ago orders were isued that pajamas
should be privided for the enlisted men
of the navy. and it was assumed that
article would become very popular with
the bluejackets.
Something like 100000 pairs were
purchased. Recent investigation shows.
however. that between 5000 and 10000
suits of pajamas are on hand. with lit
tie prospect of their being drawn by the
sailors. 1t is stated that most of the
sailors who draw pajamas used them
as underwear and to work in while at
work coaliRg ship.
AS result an order has been issued
to strike pajamas from the list Of the
nlisted mems wearing apparel, and the
stock on hand. vii be offered for sale
