MILITARY FUNERAL
 FOR PRIVATE WEIGH
Dead Company B Man Had Expressed Desire for Federal HonoEs Should
 He Die in Service.

:.
 In complianoas with g. request made by the dead soldier few weeks ago, the funeral of Private Joseph welch of Company E will be attended with full military formalities. The services will be held from his parents home, No. Sexton street, tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock and later from St. Mary's church. Private Welch was one of the firing squad which at tended the funeral of the late Private Attilio Jiantonio of Company I two weeks ago and at that time he ex- pressed the desire that should he meet his death while in the service he be accorded a military funeral. This re- quest is being respected by the young soldiers parents and his commanding officer. Lieutenant Ashley J. Griffin.
 Although Company B. which num- bers 101 enlisted men, is so split up in outpost guards that only about dozen men are at the armory bar racks, as many of the soldiers as can obtain temporary leave will attend the funeral in a body, The pail bearers will also be from the company and they will be Sergeant James c. Kelly. Sergeant Walter Bober, Sergeant John Curtin, Corporal Harold Thompson, Musician Gregory and Private Joseph Carroll. A special firing squad will fire a volley over the grave in the new Catholic cemetery and last taps will be sounded by regimental buglers. If possible the First Regiment band will also come to New Britain to att tend the funeral.
 Colonel Richard J. Goodman has not as yet approved the findings of the investigation committee which had charge of making full report con- corning the shooting of Private Welch ,at the hands of Private Frank Matu lis on Sunday night. The findings will probably be complete before the day is over however, and plans for court martial will be made. Captain Elmer son G. Taylor of the Machine Gun company is the officer in charge of tho investigation Private Matulis is being .lleld at the state armory in Hartford under close guard pending formal charges and Private James O'Keefe, whose gun 1t was that Pri- vate Matulis picked up and supposedly accidentally discharged with fatal effect is also being held. The other members of Company who wit messed the tragedy are not. being held under guard, although they are cited as witnesses. A strict censorship has been placed on all sources of informa- tion at the state armory and no details of ,the investigation or possible results are given out.

MINISTER'S AND THE WAR.

There has been discussion as to whether min
listers should be drafted for the army or not However,
the theological schools said already to be much de-
peted on account of the many students who have either
enlisted or have entered army Y. NJ c. A. work.
One great difficulty encountered by ministers in their
ordinary work is in getting close to men, They often
complain that if they approach group of men who are
talking and laughing all this fun stops. This may not
be because the men were saying anything they did not
want the ministers to hear But there should necessari-
~ be certain seriousness and spirituality in the clergy
mans character that does repel good many men who
do not take life seriously
The way for ministers to dssipate that feeling in so
far as 1t can be done away to mnge with men all they
can The war really gives them great opportunity The
young heOlogue who enlists who goes into Y NJ c. A.
camp work. will have great experience. He will for
ever aterWard be able to meet the common plane
ne Will have richer experience will come closer to the
struggles OF the human heart and all this will add vitality
and color to his preaching
If there is shortage of ministers owing to the war
he churches could combine arrange have one man
fill two pulpts.
may of course be said that man who has spent his
life IN spiritual and intellectual study and mediation
could not be expected to make good fighter as others
Yet the war records show many fighting parsons They
would Go lot of good the army by keeping up the hone
ana spirits OF the men, and would be great asset in anv
force would hardly if they should be exempted
such feel themselves thoroughly unfit and should
ask Tor It, Few of them would do that.

SCHOOL METHODS.

The opening of the school year brings home to al
families having children the question what the schools
will do this year for their youngsters. The children as
the years go on will be closely examined and frequently
the verc is that the parents used to learn lot in
their schools years ago.
Dissatisfaction is not confined to the homes. At any
educational convention your hear lot of criticism, to
the effect that the schools do not get the results they
ought to for the money spent At the time when it
to suggesting remedies there is hopeless division
of opinion.
Some favor manual training and practical studies
to teach boys and girls to their hands skfuly
Others would out all the manual training and go back
to the old time Three Rs which fitted girls and boys to
be bookkeepers, but not to have any skill with TOOLS
Feeling all this unrest school authorities commonly
try good many experiments If they hear that such and
such school has had good results with penmanshp
system, out go the old books and in the sys-
tenn at the cost of the taxpayer The teachers and pupils
alike have to struggle with the new method which for d
time blocks their progress The results may be better
The recommendation which they made the change may
be the result merely of particularly efficient teacher
and not the particular method employed. So it goes in
all branches of school work.
The schools criticised if they make changes and
they criticised if they don't make them and stay in
the old ru After ALL the vital thing is getting
petent teachers good teacher make the children
learn with any old system. But with who lacks the
gift of interesting children matter how many changes
in methods are made the youngsters will follow the same
old dull path
