Shortening Of classes for students
In the sixth, seventh and eighth
semesters of. the high schools Of the
District OF Columbia, with the giving
Of intensive courses Of study SO plan
ned as to provide for the students in
these classes the fun training in
major studies required and to cover
this work in shorter period of the
school year, has been ordered by Su-
perintendent Of Schools Ernest l.
Thurston.
Modified School Day.
To effect this end the classes will be
organized in a separate group with
special accommodation, with modified
and somewhat heightened school day
and will be taught by teachers care
fully selected for the work. Students
subject to the selective draft who
desire to make notifications in their
general courses leading to graduation,

ted to enter these shortened courses
in order to train them in fuller meas
ure before they are called to the
Army. Notifications of this kind Will
be limited Tor the present 10 StuueAlS
subject to draft and to- those ap-
preaching draft age.
In a statement addressed ITO the
public" Supt. Thurston makes known
his views concerning intensive train
ing in the school curriculum of stu
dents in the draft age, with view to
better Qualifying them for military
service. This is the first step taken in
any city in the country looking to in
tensive training in the public schools
Of students for military duties.
Physical Development.
In this connection supt. Thurston
says, in part:
at is believed that the school sys-
tenn should do everything possible for
the physical development of the stu
dents subject to draft. 1t is believed,
also, that every student doing inten-
sive work would benefit materially by
special attention to physical training.
On that account all intensive students
will be given special courses in physi-
cal training as part Of their regular
work>in the schools. Every effort will
be made to build up the individual and
to give him the special consideration
and treatment that he requires"

they do their work.
 The full realization of this only came to Paris with the notorious Bolo spy case, says an article in the London Ideas. Evidence at the trial showed that Bolo, when exposed as proven agent of the central powers, flew to the gaming tables of Monte Carlo where he was protected in some mys- terious manner from arrest.
 This immunity continued until the advent of M. Georges Clemenceau, "The Tiger" to the premiership of France. Then, and not till then, was the insidious intrigue of Monte Carlo investigated and efforts at circumven- tion made.
 "The Tiger has acted promptly. Realizing that for such a state of af- fairs to exist Monte Carlo must be rot ten to the core, he has had the whole system of police and detective service overhauled, and found that the off, cials themselves who operated the fa- nous gambling center were but the tools of Germany.
 These spies are now being removed from office and tried and trusted agents of the Paris Surete installed in their place. Meanwhile M. Maringer, the new chief of the intelligence de- partment, is obtaining conviction, and each man is taking his turn for an early morning against the wall with . firing party.
 Germany's reason in selecting Monte Carlo as a center of espionage was undoubtedly because of it's popularity with members of the allied armies.
 For three and half years the play ground of Europe has been the rem dezvous of Engiishmen, Frenchmen Italians and Russians-men highly placed in the council of the allies whose object was simply to obtain a little recreation from the turmoil oi | their tasks.
 Naturally enough, with such visitors Monte Carlo held all the secrets of the war, and Germany was quick to recos nize and avail herself of the fact. She sent the cleverest of her women spies l to the famous resort-beautiful ad- venturesses, whose siren charms have since woven many a. net round ;

SPIES AT MONTE CARLO

It is probable that before long the whole world will be startled by con- firmation of a rumor that is now set ting Paris agog with excitement
 Briefly the rumor is thus: With the approval of it's owner. the Prince of Monaco, the French government pro- poses to exercise it's authority and close down the famous casino of Mon- te Carlo and it's kindred places for the duration of the war.
 This decision, if it is arrived at, will have been necessitated by the fact that the famous resort is nothing less than the veritable nerve-center of Ger man spying and intrigue.
 Here at Monte Carlo, the sea-lapped paradise of pleasure and gayety, are congregated some of the cleverest of the agents of the German Wilhelm strasse, and here it is, in the stifling atmosphere of the roulette rooms, that
