To AppOiElt
 Citizens To
 Obtain Food
Mayor Wilson Will Offer Plan to Common Council
 Tonight.
CAN GET SURPLUS
 STORES CHEAPLY

Mayor Clifford B. Wilson will ask citizens of Bridgeport to act for the city In the matter of buying surplus food of the war department for sale here. The mayor announced this morning. that although plans were not yet completed for taking advan- taEs of the War Departments latest offer of consigning goods and allow jug thirty days for payment he was working on the appointment of a com fufrtse which will probably be an- nounced at the council meeting to- night or tomorrow, to handle the proposition.
 The mayor has practically decided that he has all of the necessary au- thortty in the matter and may not take tho matter up at the council meeting tonight, except in an infor- maj way. IL is almost certain, how ever, that tho question will be brought before the board and unless Mayor Wilson offers some information as to tho plans, 1t is quite likely that the Democratic members of the council will call up the food sale and offer resolutions directing the city officials 10 act. This would make sure of the matter and answer the popular de- rnand for a movement to permit the city to share in the army food sale at 20 DOT cent under the cost 10 gov ernment
 It Is pointed out that the large sup ply which is on hand and now offer ed for sale by the War department Sns accumulated when prices even in wholesale markets were much lower than today and that buying in the enormous quantities which the war department did, the food was se- cured at q price 90 to 30 per cent off the present day prices. Allowing cit- les a further discount of 20 per cent. would mean that the people would ul- tirnateiy get the food at from 40 to 50 per cent under tho now prevailing re- tail prices.
 Wherever the government food has been sold it has been in great de- 1nand. New Jersey cities have been especially prominent in the movement pnd dispatches from some of these today indicate that the sale is greater even than expected and supplies of seyern1 articles obtained that were expected to last a considerable time are already exhausted.

 Question Of Married Teachers
OBJECTION RAISED TO POLICY PURSUED BY CARRYING SOME ON SUBSTITUTE AND
 SOME ON PERMANENT LIST.

Fireworks are due at the Board of Education meeting which will be held this evening when a number of important matters will turn what would be ordinarily a quiet summer meeting into q lively one. If the prospects of some of those in close touch with Board of Education mat ters develop. the meeting should rival any held for long time.
 Efforts will be made to force an adoption of some definite policy by the board with regard to the en- gagement of teachers who are mar ried. Unless action is taken tonight. 1t Is threatened that several of the married teachers will refuse to go into the schools when they propose next month. despite the fact that the service of all are needed. The ob- lection is raised to the policy of car rying some married teachers as per manent members of the school facul- ties and allowing them the benefits of periodical increase while others rank only as substitutes and serving without contract enjoy none of the benefits of the regular teaching force.

ON THE TRAINING OF ARMY MUSICIANS

guments in it's favor. lie says that our
army bands lose about one-uuarter of
their membership every year, and that
to secure a steady supply from which
commanding officers may obtain on
requiston the musicians whom they
need it will be necessary to have from
$50 to 400 boys in training. These
boys. he thinks, would be attracted
naturally to a school established for
their training in music, just as young
men are attracted to West Point. They
might also be recruited from the bands
maintained by orphan asylums and
charitable organizations, On this point
Captain Clappe shd
ut IA customary with many Of these
institutions to maintain bands, the
members Of which are selected from
among their inmates, Trustees and
managers Of such places would be
inclined to hail as a relief to the pres
sure upon their resources an outlet,
such as would present itself in an
army music school, where their pro-
teges would receive thorough prepare
ton for an honorable career, amid sur
roundings conducive to health and up
build of moral character. Those boys
already partly trained on some particu-
lar instrument, would be valuable &C
QUESTIONS to the school, and, after a
years special training, become avail
able, in many instances, for transfer
to regimental bands for duty.
Experience elsewhere has shown
that fully rs per cent of the boys so
trained to the army as profession
stick to the colors and serve out their
full term from first association to
eventual retirement on pension. The 25
per cent who, after their apprentice
term, might elect to 60 into civil life,
may no longer directly benefit the
army, but they would most certainly
benefit the nation. Their specialized
training would fit them to take up
work intelligently, while the habits of
discipline instilled would male them
good, law-abiding citizens. Similar
benefits, but on larger scale, would
accrue to the nation. if, after the APP
prentice term, every one Of them left
the army for civil life. From that point
of view, alone, is it not worth while ?
"In the mean time, the army would
benefit by adoption Of the proposed
system in having received by it from
six to seven years continuous service
from each apprentice, as against the
uncertainty of tenure under the pres.
cnt. The plan urged, firmly applied
and intelligently administered, would
eventually Amcricanizc our bands and
other departments OF the army, and &c
a long way toward cfrccting similar
good work for the service at large"
