TILE .AACEDoNIAN FRONT.
What is Said to Be Object Of the
Movement in MaeetlOnia.

Washington, Sept. .4s.-It has been
limited in military circles for some
months that this autumn would see
major operations on the Macedonian
front. and from the news of the past
few days il appears that it has begun.
While not possible to give the num-
ber of men that it is intended will
participate it's object is clear to cut
off Turkey. crush Bulgaria. free Ser
bia, and Jugoslavi Of southern Aus
tria.

In the High Schools we are trying
an experiment this year by extending
the school day 20 minutes. All who
are connected with the school have
realized how important it is to have
the services OF the boys and girls or
the outside just as much as practi-
cable, and, paradoxicaF as it may
seem, this is one Of the reasons for
lengthening the school day. We thus
hope by having this extended period
in school to arrange for supervised
study in the High School. This sort
Of study should be very much mor5
profitable than the aimless study
that the pupil frequently does at
home. This will give the pupil more
time at home free from his schoo:
duties.
In addition to this, while the time
in school may seem longer, there is
not the necessity for the nervous
strain that pupils and teachers feel
when they know their time is very
limited Another consideration is
that the teachers will have in the
class room more time for actuai
teaching.
For these considerations, it is be-
liexed that the experiment will prove
successful. 1t is believed also that
the 20 minutes asked will not Sc
riously disarrange the order of our
home affairs; for pupils are frequent
ly detained later than this to make
up work after school.
The sole purpose Of the expert
ment is, of course, the entire wei
fare Of the High Schoo. students.
The school approaches every expert
ment with a perfectly open mind, and
while this experiment is being tried
it is earnestly asked and hoped that
the school will have the sympathetic
cooperation of all the parents
This proposed change applies only
to the High School. The Primary ano
Elementary schools will operate upon
the same schedule as that OF last
wear

this city. When the war began, be
was first lieutenant in the Wilmington
Light Infantry. When q wedding ou;
process was begun in the national
guard, he was thrown out on the
ground of physical disability. Tbs
experience was a. bitter one for the
young man, but it did, not daunt him.
He underwent an operation to repair
the physical defect, minor matter,
and although he had served as first
lieutenant, he pluckily went to Camp

was commissioned second lieutenant

Wilmington has been called upon Sc

heroes, than David Worth Loring,
who could have stayed out Of thF

country.
