JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
 WORK IS EXPLAINED
Houston (Vexas) EdudltOr Points Out Place of Secondary High School
 in Educational Scheme.

Chanute, Kan, Feb. 2.-In discuss ing the junior high school plan before the Southeastern Kansas Teachers association here today, P. w. Horn, superintendent of schools at Houston, Texas, explained that 'it was a pro- vision for the needs of those children for whom neither elementary school nor high school made provisions. He mentioned the following means by which it proposes to reach this group of pupils:
 "Methods of instruction more ma ture than those generally used ill elementary schools, yet less mature and less like university methods than those commonly used in the high schools.
 Methods of discipline and control that are not such as are generally used with small children, and yet not such as are sometimes used i'll high schools.
 Keeping in schools through this critical period many boys and girls who would ordinarily drop out on ac- count of lack of provision for their needs at this special time. : r. x IuIllSlll1S q COIVCulcHl 'SLOppALE place for those pupils who cannot re- main in high school four years. keep ing them in school at least a. year or two or longer than they would other l wise stay, and allowing them to drop out at the end of that time with at ! least fairly good equipment for en- l tering into the competitions of the modern industrial world.
 Furnishing more men teachers fol boys of the upper grades in interme' 1 diate schools.
 following brighter seventh-grade pupils to begin work in certain higf school subjects sooner than they otherwise would.
 Laying greater emphasis upon edu cation along industrial lines and along physical lines.
 Laying greater emphasis upon thu treatment of the child as an individua than seems to be possible in the aver age large city high school of the ordi nary type"

BRISTOL STUDENTS
FORM THRIFT CLUB
Charles T. Treadway of State Defense
Council Makes lnspir-
ing Address.

Pupils OF the Bristol High School
were the first school children in Con
necticut to organize thrift assoeia-
ton At an enthusiastic gathering OF
the students a stirring address was
given by Charles T. Treadway,
member of the Connecticut State
Council OF Defense. Mr.. Treadway
urged the necessity for conservation
of labor and materials in order to
afford support to our troops who are
now in training for the drive against
the Kaiser.
Superintendent Reiche of the Bris-
toll schools also spoke at length. He
urged every pupil to buy thrift
stamps and war savings certificates.
He suggested that instead of the 50
per cent. quota suggested by the State
War Committee, that the quota be
raised to the full 100 per cent.
Immediately after the meeting the
pupils organized a thrift association,
and all agreed to save their spending
money in order to place il at the dis
posal OF the government.

NEW POTATO RULE

A ruling of the United states food

selling of potatoes by the hundred
weight instead Of by the bushel This
rule, which Is effective in all parts OF
the United States is effective ON re
tall dealers. and quotations must be
made on the pound basis instead of
the bushel basis
This change is considered desirable
since the standard number Of pounds
m a bushe varies in many states and
mueh confusion has arisen as result.
The placing Of the market ON the new
basis insures uniformity
The food administrator for Con

potatoes for market, setting forth the

The back yfd poultry movement
received anothr impetus when the
subcommittee q poultry of the Com
mittee of Food supply and Conserva-
ton decided al a recent meeting IN
Hartford to pusl this work in all parts
of the state, in addition to what has
already been doe among school chill
dren and WOMB by the Food Con
servation Committee of the Woman's
Committee, Connecticut division,
Council of Natiolal Defense.
The subcommittee on poultry point
ed out that at lest 80 per cen OF the
poultrymen OF tn state have gone out
of business and that a shortage or
eggs and meat is likely to follow. AS
a possible means of meeting TINS
shortage and FOR the additional pur-
pose of conserving kitchen waste and
other material unfit for human con
sumption bael yard flock of ten
hens is advocated wherever it is pos
sible to support it.
The possibilities in this movement,
as pointed out b. Prof. W. F. Kirk
patrick of the Connecticut Agricul-
tural College. are decidedly important.
He explains that thousand tlocks OF
fen hens may be easily added 10 the
number in each county, thus adding
5000 birds TO the number there. As
Stunning a production of 125 eggs per
hen. which is decidedly conservative
for back yard floeks, a million and a
quarter fresh eggs may easily be pro
duced in each county and at cost OF
from one-third to one-half the price
these eggs would bring upon the mar.
ket This increase in food production
is well worth while in these days
when every bit counts.
The committee proposes by means
of the farm bureaus and the local or
Plantations OF the Connecticut State
I Council of Defense to work with the
Poultry Association and thus bring
the Importance of the movement &c
the attention of every person in the
state.
The committee voted to erect ex
hibits at the Meriden and New Hayer
/ poultry shows. which are scheduled
for January. showing proper house;
