MUSEUM VISITORS
 NUMBERED 54,335
Intense Interest Shown Since h.
 stitution Opened Last May

The Museum of Natural History and Art at the New Britain Insti- ute which opened to the public on may 31 last, has had total of 54,335 visitors up to December 30, a fact which attests to the popularity of the institution. In the few months that the museum has been open it has not only had a remarkable attendance but it has been the recipient of num- erous splendid gifts.
 Two magnificent paintings were added to the collection in the Talcott Art Room, one entitled. Clearing Off, painted off the coast of Denmark, near Skaagen by Emil Carlsen, and the other German subject. "On the Rhine" by Colin Campbell Cooper.
 The people of New Britain can take pride in the work of'art it possesses at the Institute museum, as the paint ings are by artists whose works are to be found in some of the more prominent are museums. To fully ap- preciate this fact it is necessary to know something about the artists. The painting spoken of by Cooper is one of a series of Belgian, French and German subjects, done by the artist some time ago. Some may ask Is Cooper a well-known artist?
 Colin Campbell Cooper, A. N. A.. of New York, was born in Philadelphia, Pa. Studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadel- phia, and the Julian and Delacluse Academies in Paris. Bronze medal, Atlanta Exposition. 1895; w. T. Evans Prize, American Water Color Society, 1903; Jennie Sesnan Gold Medal, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Philadelphia, 1904; honor able mention Washington Water Color Club, 1904; gold medal Philadelphia Art club, 1905; commemorative medal as member of the Jury of Selection. United States section, Department of Art, and of the International Jury of Awards. Universal Exposition St. Louis, 1904. Member of American Water Color society and the New York Water Color club. New York; and the Philadelphia Water Color club. Fellow of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and the Rochester. N. Y, Art Museum. Mem Der of the Art club of Philadelphia Associate of the National Academy, New ' ork. Represented in the Art club of Philadelphia, Cincinnati Museum, St. Louis Museum of Fine Arts. Rochester Art Museum, Art Club of Boston, etc.
 A stranger visiting the museum awhile ago made the remark; "the paintings you have here are on par with those shown in the best art museums in the country"
 Such remarks are good to hear, AL though the museum has not as large a showing of paintings as many cities can boast of, it has wonderfully fine display and what it possesses is of the best. The more one visits the Aalcott Art Room the more pro- nounced will be the conviction that New Britain has really representa- tive art collection.

CLAYTON DECLARES
Youth must IKAM
Continuation Of Educational
Courses Urged.
NATION TO NEED EXPERTS
Scientific knowledge and Skill in
Industries Held Essential.

An urgent appeal to pupils, espe-
cially young men, not to drop their
education on account OF the war, but
to remain in high school and col
leges as a patriotic duty, has been
issued by DR.. P. p. Claxton, United
States Commissioner OF Education.
"If the war should be long" says
DR.. Claxton, "the country will need
all the trained men and women IL
can get-many more than II now has.
There will be men in abundance
to fight in the trenches, but there
will be a dearth of engineers, and
men of scientific knowledge and skill
in all the industries, in transporta-
ton, and other places where skill
and daring are necessary for success.
New Industrial plants, shipyards,
and our armies abroad will call for
highly trained men beyond all pos
sible supply unless our colleges and
technical schools remain open and
increase their output.
when the war IL over there win
be made upon us such demands for
men and women OF knowledge and
training as have never before come
to any country.
and American college men and women
must assume q AoAo 49, - $50
task.
1--WE must increase our production
to pay our large war debts, and car
ry on all the enterprises for the gen
eral welfare which have been begun.
I'VE must be ready to assume all
the responsibilities and perform thor
ouEhly and well all the duties that
will come to US in the new and
more closely related world which
will rise out of the ruins OF the old
world which is now passing away in
the destruction of the war.
ITO what extent and how well we
may be able to do this will depend
upon you young men and women who
are this year graduating, and upon
those who will follow in the next
few years, to a larger degree than
upon any other like number Of peo-
pie"

aims TO GIVE NEWS
NOT USEFUL TO FOE
Information More Important Than
Censorship, Says Creel.


Voluntary regulations promulgated
today by George c. Creel, executive
member of the committee on public
information, aim merely, he says, to
give American citizens legitimate
news that will not divulge military
facts to the enemy.
The censorship" function OF the
committee, he says, will be subordi-
mated to the giving of information to
the public. The suppression OF all
news matter which is obviously like
ly to be of direct utility to the enemy
is urged and expected" says the state
ment.
Practically every large newspaper
in the United States has already fol-
lowed the principles laid down by Mr..
Creel. according to a committee of
newspaper men that conferred with
him regarding the regulations"
The regulations say as to the sup
preston Of naval and military infor-
nation:
News Of possible or observed move
ments of Canadian troops through
the territory of the United States or
their arrival at or embarkatIon from
any Of our ports.
Information regarding the fixed
land defenses Of the United States,
their very existence, as well as the
number, nature or position OF their
guns should not be mentioned.
Information in regard to the train
or boat movements of troops Is at all
times and under all circumstances
dangerous during d war and should
be scrupulously avoided.
Specific information regarding the
duties Of small detschments should
be avoided as dangerous and laying
them open to attack.
Information regarding the assem-
bling OF military forces at seaports
from which inference might be made
Of any intention TO embark them for
service abroad.
Information regarding the aircraft
and appurtenRnces used at Govern
ment aviation schools and tried out
in experimental tests under military
authority"

fear Is cast out by perfect love, and

pleasing and entertaining picture.
