CHANGES MADE IN
HIGH SCHOOL COURSES
English VII Added to Curriculum
Three Glasses Dropped-Manual
Training and Botany Classes
Filled to Capacity

One new subject was added to the
high school curriculum this year and
three subjects which failed to attract
enough attention to warrant their
continuance were dropped from the
schedule. The new subject is Eng
lish VII, which takes up the various
phases of American literature. Sec
ond year short hand, com mercial law
and economics were dropped from
the curriculum, owing to an over
loaded schedule and lack of interest
in these subjects. Manual training
and botany proved the most attract
i've subjects and enrolment in these
branches has been stopped because of
a lack of accommodations in the way
of room and materials for added stu
dents.
The domestic science course is also
proving highly popular one. Elec-
trio plates have replaced the old alco-
hol stoves in this department and
other needed improvements have
added much to the attractiveness of
the course, making it one of the best
domestic science courses offered by
any high cshool in Within an county.

methods. 1t would have been easy for
the German colonial administration to
send troops and guns to Dar-es-Salam
openly before war broke out, but IT woulo
not have served the German purpose,
which was to catch the neighoring British
at disadvantage. Had the British
learned that arms were being poured In
to the, colony, they would have sent
cannon and stores to Uganda as wen,
and the German surprise could not have
been attempted.
No Market for Wares.
SO 1t was announced, early In 1914, that
a great international exposition was to
be held in -Salam during the
summer A plot of ground was staked out
and natives were put to work on build
ings which were to house the exhibits.
British manufacturers, and even some
American ones, were invited to send ex-
hibits In charge of employees who would
take charge of them and explain them
to the visitors. Manufacturers to whom
these invitations were sent discovered
that the white population of the colony
was not much more than 5000 and that
there could be no market for their wares
among the natives, and declined to par
ticfpate. But, a few months after the ex-
position had been announced, the Ham,

Guns In PnckfnR Cases
If there was an officer of the British
intelligence department at Dar-es-Salan1.
he did not learn until 1t was to late that
the packing cases contained machine
guns, howltzers, modern rifles and great
quantities of ammunition. With each
exhibit" came three or four husky Ger
mans, ostensibly representing the firms
participating in the show. The war ar
rived not long before the exposition was
to have been opened, and the newcomers
lost no time in donning the uniforms OF
German noncommissioued officers and
commenced to drill consignments of
Ethiopian recruits. The officers and
munitions which arrived for that myth
cal exposition are playing a great part
in the stubborn defense of the Germans
against the British invaders.

London, Dec. 23.-In attempting the
conquest of German East Africa with
troops drawn from India and South
Africa, under the command of Gen. Sir
Horace Smith-Dorrien, the hero of the
retreat from Mons, Great Britain is
tackling the toughest of all her little
wars"
An Indian officer, wounded In the con-
slant forest skirmshing which has gone
on for a year in East Africa, gave me
some details of the situation. They
are sending an army he said into the
biggest zoo in the world. The casualties
from lions, leopards and hyenas win be

Enemy Numbers $4,000.
There are 5000 white German troops
and 1000 natives trained and led by Ger
man officers, all well armed. who must
be conquered. No such German force
existed in any of the other African colo
MES which have been invaded, and in no
other were the natural obstacles TO be
overcome SO heavy. 1t is not permissi-
BILE to estimate the size of the British
army now concentrating for its great
task. but it is regarded as sufficient by
my informant.
German East Africa is the richest gem
in the Kaiser's colonial empire. 1t is
about twice the size of European Ger
many, and has a coast line 600 miles
long, with four good harbors. The
population is about 100000. Its re-
sources, though undeveloped. arc enor-
nous. On the North are British East
Africa and Uganda, the western
boundary is Lake Tanganyika, and to
the South lie Northern Rhodesia, Nyasa-
land, and Portuguese East Africa. There
are two railroads, one in the North,
leading from the port of Tanga, 200 miles
inland to Moshi. near the British border,
and the other running across the whole
country from the capital, Dar-es-Salam,
to UJiji on Lake Tanganyika
