DR.. scott after IDEAS
ON School FURNISHING

Clifford J. Scott. superintendent Of
schools. is absent from the city on
an inspection trip to several cities,
during which he visited several up
to-date nigh schools in New Jersey,
with a view to securing, information
relative to Improvements in school
equipment, especially movable furni-
ture, such as the Board OF Education
proposes to place in service in the
new High School Upon his return
DR.. Scott will be able TO furnish the
board with some information as TO
how these movable desks operate I'm
actual practice.
The selection OF the furniture for
the Wilmington High School annex is
before the Board Of Education, and
various types of both fixed and NOV
able furniture are now being display
ed and demonstrated IN the corridors
OF the present High School. The
tendency in the modern building Is
TO introduce movable furniture ex-
clusively. This permits the s0cializ-
ing Of the recitation hour and does
away with the present plan OF seating
pupils.

AGREED that GERMAN
U-BOATS CAN'T WIN war
BY CARL ID. cROAT
United Press stan Corresnondant.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 29-Amerlcan
troop transportation 10 Europe during
the next six months may be curlulled.
As a result Of the German u-boat
menace discussed with surprising
frankness by the British ministry OF
marine, the foremost question now be-
fore this country and the Allies Is dis
position OF American tonnage.
The United Press Is able 10 state on
highest authority that the grave ques-
ton has arisen whether the United
States Is perhaps crowding her side Of
the struggle In forcing over thousands
Of soldiers at this time instead Of NOV
Ing supplies. The argument is ad-
yanced In favor OF reducing troop
movements to the other side along these
lines:
France alone has a million tons Of
supplies tied up on this side of the At
lantic which cannot BE- moved while
American troops are being transported
France. Great Britain and Italy need
fuel, food. oil. etc, sorely, shipment Of
which is prevented through lack Of ton
mage.
Germany's man power is waning. and
n careful compilation oog-oletcd by the
allied governments indicares that the
allied man power. properly supplied, can
win the war more quicly than if the
present man power is augmented by
thousands Of American troops. and in
sufficient supplies are available through
lack Of tonnage
The U-boat menace is not under
estimated by the United States Govern
ment. There is not the slightest feai
that Germany can win through her sea
scavingers, but there Is appreciated tho
need for very serious consideration of
