to hygiene and regular physical exer- cises are required of all young men of the first year. Systematic attention in these matters is also given to mem- berS Ot the R. Q. T. (. unit which in- cludes all young men of the second thlrd and fourth years. Hygiene and phySlcal exercises are prescribed for all young women of the first second and third years and made optional in the fourth year. In connection with all athletic events the department of physical education gives due regard to matters of health.
 Command of Fundamental Processes.
 The elementary schools aim to give a mastery of the so-called fundam en- tai processes, reading, writing and arithmetical computations; but the mastery of the mother tongue for oral and written expression cannot be made by the child of 12 or 14 formal re- views of lower grade work prove the insufficiency of elementary methods. English is required each year of all high school pupils and practice in both oral and written work is empha- sized

 Worthy Home Membership.
 Home-making receives attention principally through the departmen of home economics and art. For the former a regular curriculum is ar ranged with twO-fifths of the school day devoted to it's exercises The courses in cooking, sewing, drawing and design are open to all pupils in the school as is also the chorus prac- tice. Credit for outside instruction in music encourages a much wider edu- cation in music than the school can afford

The report of the principal of the High school. presented by Principal l.. P. Slade, follows:
 "Fhe purpose of democracy is so to organize society that each member may develop his personality primar- fly through activities designed for the well-being of his fellow mem bers and of society as a whole.
 For the achievement of these ends democracy must place chief re- liance upon education. Consequent ly, education in a democracy, both within and without the school, should develop in each individual the knoWl- edge interests, ideals, habits, and powers whereby he will find his place, and use that place to shape both himself and society toward ever nobler ends"
 Thus does a commission of the National Education Association set forth the goal of education in a de- mocracy. In the administration of our public high school such is the goal toward which we are moving. The main obJectives which guide us are thus expressed by this same commission: "1, Health; ?, Com mand of Fundamental Processes; 8, Worthy Home Membership; 4, Vo- cation; ,, Citizenship; 6, Worthy Use of Leisure; ', Ethical Character
 At the High school we are con- cerned with these objectives for all normal young men and young women in New Britain between the ages of fourteen and eighteen.
 The whole process of public edu cation should be an unbroken one. Neither admission to the High school nor graduation from the High school should be an objective in itself. The High school should not set special standards of admission from the lower grades: the college should not impose special requirements upon the High school. The High school is not a separate institutions; but because it is charged with education for the period of life, when our boys and girls are becoming young men and young women, it must make use of methods suited to those years, when the sense of liberty develops so much faster than the sense of re- sponsibility It should provide for life experiences normal to these years. Because the problems to be met are peculiar, the High school grades may we'll be treated separate ly.
 When our High school organiza- tion and equipment are tested by our seven objectives the following edu- cational opportunities are revealed:
 Health.
 Two instructors are concerned primarily with the health of the pu- pills; one for young men; one for young women. Systematic attention

curricula are provided. A general
 curriculum is arranged for such as
 have no definite purpose beyond the
 high school.
 In order that pupils in the currl-
 culum of commerce may have closer
 touch with the business world than
 can be given through the ordinary
 sohocl channels, arrangements have
 been made whereby seniors in this
 curriculum go out in pairs, for pc
 riod of eight weeks, to undertahe cler-
 ical and sfenographic work in the To-
 cal offices. During each half of the
 day one member of the pair is in
 school and the other member in the
 office.
 Citizenship.
 Each young man and young Wom- en as he or she comes to maturity
 should see clearly, and have strong inclination to practice, the civic duties. The right attitude toward the neighborhood, the town or city,
 the state, the nation, and toward the broader international field should be we'll determined. The High school seeks to give proper life experiences in citizenship through it's own stu dent organization. Each section or home room has it's staff of officers These officers make up college Of electors for the choice of executive councils. The presidents of these councils in conference with the head masters appoint committees on trat- fic and on progress and efficiency 1 These committees are chosen from the student body at large and are actually concerned with the matters which their names suggest.
 Courses in history, and in civics and social science extending through the four years of the High school period, and which are required in some of the curricula, make the pupil familiar with important civic insti- tutions and movements. Through current events work and visits to nearby institutions the point of view is kept in the present. Instruction begins with the known facts of the present.
 Through the specializing of recita- tions in all courses the civic con- sciousness is kept uppermost Worthy Use of Leisure. Whether called by the name or not, it is the aim of the school to I1lahS ca SOllSlueid part OL SctCll pupils work vocational, fitting him, that is, to make his contribution to the earning of the worlds living To the one who is going to a higher educational institution before en- tering upon his life work, the courses in preparation for this higher work are vocational But for every one in school and beyond there is, or should be, part of each day free for the recreation of body, mind and spirit, when there may go on a pro- cess of enrichment and enlargement of personality, not possible in the more or less dull routine of daily work. The use of leisure is often directed through club life. It is the policy of the school to have organized any club for which there seems to be real and legitimate demand. Pur- suant to this policy there are clubs in the fields of the various depart ments, the Art club, the French club,
 the Household Arts club. the Letter Mems club (made up of those who
 have won their letters on the athletic field) a CivicS club, the Amphion
 club GOr dramatic interests) the

MANY TOWNS DESTROYED
HOW WINNING OF WAR
 WAS BEING DONE

WASHINGTON, May 27- Ma chine guns and small arms produced by the millions, ammunition turned out by billions of rounds and tanks built by thousands when the armiStice ended hostiIitics, furnish the subject of chapters made public today of the Wa Departments history of the "ma- teiaw side of winning the war.
 The story of machine gun produc- tior. about which such a hot contro- ycr.y wagcd in Congress as a result of the failure of the American army Co adopt for standard general use tn" Lcvis weapon used successfully ab oad is told as follows:
 "Tho manufacturing facilities fo' machine guns in ihi5 country were much more limited in extent that th" ?. bile had any notion of them (wh'n thn United States entered the wa) or today. We had at the outbreak Of th.
 ar only two factories which were aa' rally producing machine guns in 2ny quantity at all.
 Tt was therefore evident that we ho1 10 build up almost complete 0".v capacity for production. Ncvcr'h"c.s. we took advantage of what facilities were at hand; and at once in facr within a week after the d"claration of war, were placing orders for machin" guns. In this connection the rooio" should bear continually in mind that throughout the development of ma chine gun manufacture we utilized aN existing facilities to the limit in ad- dition to building rp new sources Of supply.
 "lr other words whenever co0- ocrs worc engaged in 'ho lnanufaor. nrc of machine guns. rha'cvor thoir make or tyne, W" did not stop tho pro- hrtior of those ty0os in these plan's and converted the establishments into factories fo" making other weapons; but wc had thcm continue the manu- ractu"c in which tAoy wcrc cnraCoj. ~ivinr them orders which would en- able them t2 oxDand their facilities in 'hoir particular lines of productions"
 The statement shows that the two Browning guns the heavy and tho light automatic rifle Cof the tyne nov in usc bv the troops in France) were pronounced by tho special test board which held q conference in Nav 19'9 "thn most effective guns Of their tv- n"s known to the members" in ad- dition to boinn dcsirncd for the pur- pose of quantity production. At the same test improved Lewis guns also proved highly efficient and were TO- commended by the board. SUbsoQucnt. " ,hc Lewis guns were shifted 10 air craft work because of special adaDt- bilitv and on recommendation of Gen oral Pershinc's staff.
 The report says there was great doarth of heavy machine guns for air craft work, to be syncronized with propellers. This shortage existedin the French and British service as well aS in the American. The Browning air craft gun would have met the require mcnts, but it would be long time be-

searching for his son, Henry Blake

Camp Merritt more than a year ago
just as the boys unit was about to
sail for France.
A friend saw the message. ROLAND

land Phillips in Flushing. He is
supposed to be dead"
The two families on Tuesday COM
pared notes. Pictures of the two
boys were laid side by side, and it
was seen that a soldier in a Paris
hospital, who a friend of DR.. Mac
Leods had thought resembled young
Macleod, might have been either
boy. Both were nineteen years old,
slightly over six feet tall, with blue
eyes, fair complexion, and with a
small scar over the right eye. There
was also a marked similarity in the
ears, in the shape Of the head, and,
according to Mrs. Macleod strik-
ing similarity in facial appearance,
particularly from the forehead down.
On this latter point, Mrs. Roland
Phillips disagreed. She does not
dare to let herself hope. Neverthe-
less great difference of opinion ex-
listed as to whether or not the boy
coming home is her son.
