ISANCIENT CUSTOM
No One Knows Who Originated
the Ground Robin"
Long In Use on Shipboard for Deter
mining Each Sailors Wateh-often
.z g.. Employed in the Form
Of Petition.

That watch kept on board ship at
night, while lying at anchor, is called
the anchor watch. Generally speaking
it consists of one officer and one sea-
man, whose duties are to watch out for
the safety Of the ship, see that the
anchor light is kept burning brightly,
and take care that the vessel does not
drag her anchor. If there are eight
hours of darkness to be covered and
eight men constitute the crew, these
men are required to watch one hour
each. If there be more or less men
the question arises who Is to go on
watch first or last, or, perhaps, who
is to "lay over" until the next day.
1t thus becomes necessary to ascer-
tain who is to 60 on duty at a GER
tain hour and each man must know
when his turn comes. Arrangement
for this is made by forming a ''round
robin" or putting it in another way,
by "chalking for Watches" which is &C
complished In such a way that each
sailor has the time for keeping his
watch determined by lot, one not be-
ing favored more than another. The
thing is decided in this way:
One man draws a large circle on
the lid of chest, or, If that is not con-
venient, the deck. The circle is sub
divided into as many divisions as there
are men; and each man makes his
mark in one of the spaces. This may
be cross, q circle, a triangle, or any
other sign that will suffice to identify
him.
During the time the sailors are
placing their marks within the division
of the circle, one of their number is de-
tanned outside on deck and kept in
ignorance of the identity of any au-
thor of any mark. When all have
made their marks the round robin is
complete. The man who was on deck
is now called, someone else having
made mark for him. This man now
proceeds TO erase the marks, one by
one The owners Of the marks are
numbered from number one up, In sue
cession, as he grasses them, and their
numbers are chalked up on the sides
of the berths; those above number ten
lying over until the next night. As the
man who grasses the marks does not
know who made this or that, he cam
not show any Partially.
The round robin is sometimes put to
other use when the crew of a vessel
at sea wish to present a grievance I'm
the form Of petition to the captain.
Their complaint Is made out in writ
Ing, and the signature put In the form
of round robin, which prevents the
writer Of the document from being
singled out and treated, as ringlead-
er, with undue severity. A famous case
In example of similar use of the round
robin in the army within recent times
was the Roosevelt Round Robin" dur
Ing the Spanish war.
Where the custom originated no one
knows.

PRINCIPAL SMITH TO
GO GREENFIELD
Gives Prudential Committee Here and
Greenfield School Officials Definite
Notice of Decision.

Principal Edgar B. Smith of the Brat
tleboro high school Yesterday gave the
prudential committee of the Incorporated
school notice of his definite decision to
accept the offer of the school board in
Greenfield, Mass, to become principal of
the high school in that town. He also
notified the Greenfield school board yes
terday of his decision to accept their
proposition.
Mr.. Smith and the school board had a
conference Saturday evening, and in the
discussion it was brought out that Mr.
Smith at one time was considered foi
the prineipalship of large high schoo
in New York state, where the salary
greatly exceeds that of either Greenfield
or Brattleboro and that the school off
cials felt that Brattleboro was not larg,
enough town from which to select prin
eipal for the school. Mr. Smith felt tha'
the position in Greenfield would aflors
better prospects for the future than tn,
one here.
| There will be general regret at tn
going of Mr.. Smith from Brattleboro
where he has been principal the past l!
years and which is his home town. III
