JOHNSON NORMAL SCHOOL
DR.. Peaks RESIGNATION

1t is with the deepest regret that we
learn of the enforced resignation of DR.. A..

Normal. 1t seems too bad that every
time we get a good man at the head of
our Normal schools, and things begin to

vites him to leave. II the people of the
State might have voice in the matter
they would undoubtedly urge Dr. Peaks
to remain at the head of the institution
where he has done such signal work and
which has been of such great assistance
to young people of ordinary meansin OBJ
tanning a higher education.
We note that the Rutland Herald says
that the activities of DR.. Peaks in behalf
of the Normal schools at one time
reached the point of Consciousness.
DR.. Peaks simply asked the State to
make use of the institutions already
owned before it proceeded to build more,

eyes so filed with shining tears that
it may spill them any minute from the
weight, and it's death means the end of

almost at it's loveliest when not in
bloom. 1t is like hand illumined edi-

of the kiss of child. When you pass
the tree you feel baby arms about your'
neck. You may exist without silver
acacia. but you cannot be said to live
without one-Los Angeles Times.

What power do submarines use? If
electricity, how are the batteries
charged, and, if gasoline, how is the
exhaust cared for? How long could a
submarine stay under water?
Submarines at present have two
sources of power, electricity from stor
age batteries, which can be used when
on the surface or when submerged, and
oil engines of the heavy oil type. The
latter can only be used when the sub.
marine is on the surface. The batteries
are charged from dynamo run by the
oil engine. The exhaust is always to
the atmosphere, as the oil engine is
used only when the submarine is on
the surface, as stated above. The time
in which submarine can stay under
water is limited by the battery ca
pacity, if under way. If the subma-
rine remains stationary it can stay
below several days until the reserve
air supply is exhausted.
