The members of the United States coast guard at Watch Hill have joined with all others in that branch of the service in expressing thanks to Sena- tor Peter Goelet Gerry of Rhode lsl- and for the part he did in the work that led to the promotion of officers of the guard under authority carried in the naval appropriation bill Officers of the coast guard are most gratified with the legislation enacted for their temporary promotion in the naval ap- propriation act approved July l, 1918. The senate and house naval commit tees, of which Senator Gerry is mem Der, were very sympathetic when in formed that thus far coast guard off cers alone among all the members of the fighting forces had received no recognition regarding promotion dur ing the war Senator Gerry was par ticularly helpful in securing the recog- hilton given the coast guard. Being yacht owner, also son of the former commodore of the New York Yacht club. he has had many opportunities for observing the fine work performed by the coast guard vessels and sta tions. He therefore voluntarily took upon himself the task of actively help ing through the legislation for their relief.

Brown, 1882 1885, now aged S5, son of Elder William Reynolds Slocum, who died at the age of 90 visited the Westerly public library Monday, In the reading room is a group of de- guerotypes of Rhode Island ministers of the long, long ago. Colonel Slocum recognized the picture of his father in the group and asked for a loan of the deguerrotype to have an enlarged pie ture made therefrom, which request was granted.
 He said his father was a Sixth Principle Baptist and resident of West Exeter, and was one of the greatest preachers in Rhode Island, if he could only have kept his head. but he got cieranged occasionally He almost knew the Bible by heart. He was born

New York Symphony Concert.

NEW xork symphony concert
The initial concert this season Of the
New York Symphony Society. Walter
Damrosoh. conductor. with Jascha
Heifetz. the phenomenal young violin
list, as soloist was the attractive COM
binaton that dr6w an audience to the
Shubert-Belasco Theater yesterday
afternoon 50 large as to utilize some
Of the available standing room.
Jascha Heifets, when hrst heard in
Washington. last season. was ac-
claimed q wonderful master Of tech
nique. This year finds him still mar
velous in his technique. but playing
with marked depth of feeling and ex-
preston that constitutes the great
artist. He played the concerto for
violin, with orchestra, In d minor, by
Bruch. The three movements Afforded
the young musician wide range for
his talents. The adagio ma non
was in marked contrast with the pro-
nounced accent and declamatory style
Of the recitative. In the finale, allegro
motto, written largely in canon form,
the attack Of first soloist and then
orchestra was practically perfect and
a veritable treat. At the conclusion
Of the concerto Heifets was recalled
many times.
Beautiful melody seemed to be the
order Of the afternoon. the symphony,
Rerlioz's Harold in Italy," abounding
in tuneful lines characteristic Of the
music Of Italy. Throughout the four
movements the viola obligato by M.
Po1lain was prominent and the beauty
Of his playing won much applause.

two movements. while full Of the un-
expected that characterizes the works
Of Debussy, was not without haunt
ing melody, something seldom found
in the modern school Of music of
which Debussy is a prominent expo
nent.
The concert was the irst Of q series
Of four. all to be given with promi-
nent soloists. Mr.. Damrosch may well
| feel gratifled with the excellence of
yesterdays concert, which sets a high
standard.

tricts. It is pointed out that parents
will have to send their children to other
di tricts, and by cooperation and con-
solidation school privileges may be
maintained.
Unusual conditions imposed by the
war will have the effect of promoting
school consolidation, perhaps not ac-
cording to legal forms, but by proc
esses Of practical operation. Preju-
dice against consolidation among the
people of rural and small town dis
tricts has been difficult to dislodge,
and the efforts Of educators to estab-
lish better schools by such progressive
movements have been amazingly UNI
successful! Rural schools II Iowa have
Jagged behind. There is great vast
age every year because districts in SO
many counties are not able to keep
their schools going. The result is a.
gradual retrogression every year in the
standard of the rural district schools,
Those who have given the subject,
special thought assert that improves.
ment of the country schools can come
only thru consolidation.
One of the probable results of the
Embarrassment that now confronts
school officers will be the creation Of,
more favorable sentiment for con-
solidation. The question will be placed
before tho next general assembly, andS
that body will be urged to modify pres
ent laws SO as to remove the special
distractions to consolidation that were
placed there in recent years by infiu-
ences opposed to progress in the cons
mon schools Of the state.

THE BOYS AT DEFINING.
[Cedar Rapids Republican,

The boys at Dening are promised TO
go to France in the near future. A
little protesting. it seems. does help.
It has not been fair to keep those fine
fellows tied up in the sand drifts so
long. Many Of them were among the
very first to respond to their countrys
call They were among those who vol
unteered, not waiting to be summoned.
They entered the service in such ways
because they were told that that would
give them the first call to France. The
pledges that were made to them have
not been kept. Battery e from this
city was recruited to full strength al
most over night. AS 1t Is all the injury
can not be undone. The battery has
been smashed into fragments and the
men have been scattered into many d.
rections. That was not the understand
ing with which the boys enlisted 80
bravely and SO willingly. They wanted
to fight In France as an organization.
OF course, they were willing to be re-
formed to some extent to At IN with
the war plans, but we believe there
might have been shown some regard
for their organization. The pride OF
organization and even OF states
amounts to something. 1t is an asset
that is worth considering. In England
and also in Germany there are historic
regiments that have been in existence
a hundred years or more. They are
recruited from generation to genera
tion and there Is In the men who enter
