COMMERCIAL PUPILS
 AT PART TIME WORK
Factory Offices Offer High School Students Practical Experience

The part-timc work plan that was 1nstituted hy J. C. Moody for the seniors Of the commercial department of the Vocational High school two years ago and which has proven very successful will be continued again this year.
 Letters in which Mir. Moody states that the plan for this year will go into 'ltfr1 next week. have been received ny the office managers of the fac torres in this city The plan in brief Is dS follows: Pupils are offered for q period of eight consecutive weeks, in pairs. One 10 work in the forenoon and the other in the afternoon. These pupils are treated as regular employees with tho exception that they receive no monetary remuneration for their services. TheyWra expected to do any kind of office work assigned them, and be in their places during regular office hours.
 Some of the advantages of this scheme are: The young people get the experience of actual business con- ditions, and they have an opportunity to learn the different methods used in the offices. Due to this experience they enter positions after graduation with greater confidence in them selves, and are Of more value to their employers when the! take permanent positions.
 From the employers side: The pupil not only proves of actual worth while learning but it also gives the em- ployer an opportunity to observe several different young men and young women. so that he can make a more intelligent selection when he wishes to hire additional help.
 This plan of cooperation between the business community and the scool works for the mutual advantage of both, and is in the line of progress in NOratiOual training.

The Flags Without Stain.
(Watchman- Examiner


 To our many causes for thankssiv- ing in these days let us add this that our flag has come back to us not only in victory. but in honor; that upon it Is no foul stain of brutality or hestiality; no siCkening smear Of babies blood or wOmans dish or cruel and wanton destruction and waste. Tn the full reckoning of his tory one thing will be likely to at tract the attention of the careful stu dent-thc sy-telnpercd and self-restrained conduct of the armies of the allies during the war.
 There was so much to stir them to hottest indignation and passionate anger. The greatness of the provo cation to make reprisal for the abominable deeds that the saw and appreciated as no one else could, and the opportunities given into their hands to repay Hunnish devilishness in kind, would seem to have been sufficient excuse in the eyes of the world for the severest application of the lex talionis, and more than once it almost appeared that they were oVerscrupulous, and as if the winning of the might be haStened by fighting the foe with the weapons with which he was fighting. He elected to bomb defenseIess cities and hospitals filled with the sick and wounded. To him it seemed legiti- mate to send vessels crowded with women and children to the bottom of the sea. Why should he not be made to drink his own medicine. Why try to fight on a plane SO high that he could not understand it. and would inevitably construe magnanimity as cOwardIce. and interpret sentleness as weakness?
 Thus. many of Us thought and felt. It is a, matter of grati- tude to God that such thoughts and counsels did not prevail The greatest cause for shame on Ger many's part is not the result of her fighting. but the manner of it; not the fact that she was whipped, but the fact hat she fought dirty and ;t dshOnOrable fight. Our greatest glory, and that Of our allies is not that We won out in the cOntlict~-that might have been a matter of greater resources of men and materials huf that after the war is over we have nothing to be ashamed of nothio,r to excuse or apologize for in the way in which our soldiers conducted tba,,, selves either in the face Of their en- emies or toward the peoples in the countries in which they found than selves. It is a matter of glory that Old Glory came back to us in glory.

Yet Mem phis shows an improvement in 1917. figures for which have been collected by Frederick L. Hoffman, and pub lished in the Spectator, a weekly in surance journal. Uncertain popula ton figures toward the end of the l0- year census period make any homi- cids. record somewhat unrelia ble, but Mr Hoffman finds that the rate in 1917 increased in IT cities and de creased in IA.

Speaker Walsh.
Bridgeport Post. )

In the election of Judge James F. Walsh of Greenwich as speaker Of the house at Hartford. an interesting re turn to political activity is recorded. For many years Judge Walsh was all active factor in republican county and state politics. But he seemed to re- tire some years ago, it was thought that the political scenes which knew him so long would know him no more. although be was still in the prime of life.
 But for Interesting reasons Judge Walsh experienced a desire to come back. ttc felt that in his previous activities he had played the game VerN much as 1t was played in those times. He now wanted to see what he could do in the modern demand for public service.
 Possessed of a keen judgment. recognized as sJillful politician from every point of measurement, II not always up to idealistiC standards. ne can easily be a successful leader m up -to-date effort if he cares to bend his recognized talent in that dlrectlon.

INFLUENZA LINGERS;
 IS LESS VIRULENT
No New Gases In Two Days, But Germ k Still Tn This Neigh
 bOrhOOI.

Up to noon today there had been no new influenza cases reported in this city for the past two days This is encouraging to those Interested in the general health Of the city. The cpl demic probably spent it's force in this cit vwhen it attacked here so hard few months ago. It will proha bly, be noticeable at times and then again it will practically die out. The state board of health, in an article pub lished recently. named two years aS the probable length of time before the state would be entirely rid of the disease. The number of cases being reported at the state health depart ment is much decreased. only q few more than 300 cases being reported recently for one day throughout the entire state.
 The matter of the disease being in this city at the present time Is noth- ing to cause any great worry. It can best be compared to an ocean wave which is whipped into action by the wind, and then dies down and be comes as smooth as glass when there is a calm. The influenza in this city is acting the same way. Yesterday and this m morning there were no cases. To morrow there may be more cases re- ported. There are. however, some cases of Influenza and the local doc tors are again reminded by health off cia1s that the disease can become cpl demic and that their reports of eases should be prompt and accurate. General cooperation of everyone will help rid the city of the pestilence quicker than any single piece of work by the doctors, board of health or others interested in the matter,

Before my son, the late Sergt. Joyce Kilmcr, sailed for France he gave me a little gold service fiag-rcd border, white enamel and blue star--and I always wore it and shall always wear it. He was killed ia action July 30. I was in Litchfeld Conn, when the news reached me. in August, and I said to my husband, T shall always wear the little service flag he gave me, but I'll pin it on a bow of black ribbon While l was doing so. to my great astOnishme ent I saw the blue star had changed to gold!

TOLL RATES UNDER FIRE.

Postmaster Burleson' standa rdized sic toll rate schedule has met with first official opposition through the tice of the Pubic Utilities Com |Bsion of Massac that this heduIe provides for so large and so belal an increase within Massa- |lsetts that the commission has felt hL it ought not to permit the new Ees to go into effect, with it's ap- bval until cause has been shown. Et is the belief of the Bay Stlte
 nmission that the readjustment of | rates will impose a heavy tax on Ew England although their an |uncement was coupled with the Item ent that they represented a flashing of toll rates. They are to
 into effect on January 21 but un- Is Mir Burleson points out the saw effected the commission will,
