STUDENTS VOLUNTEER FOR
 MILITARY TRAINING

Atlanta, Ga, March 3.-The stu dents of one of the high schools in this city signified willingness to take up military training voluntarily, at a preparedness discussion recently, and informed Governor E. N. Harris, of Georgia, who spoke at the meeting, that it was their desire to train as reserves for the United States Marine Corps. If the school authorities sane ton the movement, the Atlanta Mar inc High School will be the first in the United States. The United States Marine Corps has no reserves, and, in time of war, could have the assist ance of only one company of marine militia from Massachusetts. The students are delighted at the pros pect of training for "soldiers and sail ors too."

COMMITTEE OF
 HOUSE IS AGR4 ED
One of Provisions is Designed to Control Manufacture of Muni- tions in Time of War to Se- cure Preference.

Washington, March 2-Final agree ment was reached by the house mili- tary committee late today on it's bill for increase of the army, and it will be reported to the house early next week. In round figures the measure would authorize the formation of an army composed of peace strength of approximately 100000 men.
 It provides for a maximum strength of 170,000 fighting troops for the regular army; for a minimum of 425,000 for the national guard within five years, and for organization of federal volunteers through an exten- sion of summer training camp idea. It is estimated that 100000 men can be enrolled in the latter force.
 The bill retains provision for or ganization or industrial and technical reserves behind the fighting lines, and authorized the creation of board of officers to control an industrial mo- bilization in time of war or imminence of war.
 It also provides that manufactur- CTS of war materials must give imme- diate preference to government orders in war times under heavy penalty for failure to do so, while the minimum strength of the regular army re- mained at 10000, change was made before the final vote to fix the maximum fighting forces at 10000, bringing the total authorized strength of the regular force to 100000. While all members of the commit tee will sign the bill, they do so un- der the reservation they may support on the floor of the house any amend ment they may desire.

 Mir. Cook says that it was most
 important session, and that two sub
 iects especially were given the most careful and thorough attention. One of these is the differentiation of the course of study, the question being whether it shall be made more prac- tieal rather than wholly cultural, as if has been in the past. There is a tendency throughout educational cir cles to teach more practical, every day subjects. rather than to devote so much attention to higher mathema-

MARKET QUIET, BUT

Steadier Tone Develops, and
 Close Shows an s to 15 Point
 Gain-Trading Was Extreme ly Quiet During Early Session

New York, March 2.-While busi- ness continued quiet, the cotton mar ket showed a steader tone today, with May contracts selling up to 11.60c during the afternoon, or r points above last nights closing price and 26 points above the recent low level. Slight reactions followed, with May closing at 11.55c, and with the general list steady, at a net advance of 8 to 15 points.
 Trading was extremely quiet dur ing the early session. Liverpool made a relatively steady showing and the market here opened at an advance of points on March and 1 to points on later deliveries. After selling up another ? or points the market showed little feature until early in the afternoon, when a few buying orders arrived here from New Or leans and Memphis. This demand was accompanied by reports of an AiiptONIQ SpOJ QtiltsAti lll 4NGW oI- leans, while more favorable view of the spot situation was encouraged by the absence of the scattered sell ing that has been one of the depress- ing features lately and the demand from shorts became more active dur ing the afternoon.
 1 March was dull, but relatively firm selling up to 11.44c, or 19 points net higher, while July touched 11.79c and October 11.95c, with May and later deliveries showing net gains of about 13 to F points.

tics, dead languages and abtruse sciences that are of very little benefit after the pupil leaves school.
 The other subject was the read justment of the high school course to meet changing conditions. At pres ent, the prevailing system is eight years in the grades and four years in the high school. It is proposed to change this to six years in the grades, three years in junior high school, and three years in senior high school. This system has already been adopted in Hot Springs and Texar- kama, and probably a few other places in the state, and is approved by all as great improvement
 Statistics show that not more than 9 per cent of those who enter the public schools finish high school, and they begin dropping out with the fifth grade, after which the reduction is very rapid. By advancing the pupil earlier into the high school course, it is the theory, and the ex- perience of schools where it has been tried, that the graduates will be doubled or trebled. They are given a greater incentive to remain in school than they are under the pre- vailing system.
