MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE
Training of Junior High School Teach
ers Feature-Will Help Relieve
Shortage of Teachers.

The critical shortage of teachers,
with the resulting enlistment of many
of the less well qualified for such sery
ice, is stimulating some of the New
England colleges TO take active meas
ures for the future relief of situ-
alton that is already serious and daily
becoming more SO.
DR.. T.. ID. Collins, head Of the depart
ment of pedagogy at Middlebury col
lege, has announced that the practice
teaching relations which the college has
maintained with the local high school
for the past six years will be replaced
by the establishment Of new model
school under the direct management
and control of the college, in which
both practice and demonstration teach
ing will be carried on, and care of the
mental, aud moral welfare of
school children will be made an es-
sentisl part OF the teachers prepara-
tion.
II is the intention of the directors of
the new model school TO receive chill
dren Of the seventh and eighth school
years. the first and most critical years
OF the Junior high school" period. For
the work of these years
very few teachers are now adequately
so rapid has been the reor-
canization Of secondary education
throughout the country on the junior
high school basis The inclusion of
these classes viii permit the college TO
confine itself, as heretofore, to the
training Of secondary teachers, but will
extend this preparation 10 include the
two earlier years. for which the short
age of trained teachers is just now
most acutely felt
Work in the modern languages will
be especially stressed in the new model
school and the cooperation of the coli
lege modern language departments
ought TO produce some unique results
with these younger pupils

carrying out such provisions of the
league covenant as international dis
armament, publication OF all treaties
entered into by league members, plans
for the first meeting of the league as
sembly, admission of new members
and many other matters.
The method of presenting these ques-
tions TO the right members of the coun-
ell has been worked out very fully and
much data assembled by the permanent
staff around which the discussion
will probably center, Suggested
coursese of action also have been
outlined and to insure adequate pre-

which provides for creation of perma
nent commission TO advise the league
on military and naval matters general

Budget matters of the league, in
cluding the determination of the
medium of exchange, whether dollars,
pounds sterling, francs or what other
units in which calculation of money is
to be made in future. have been made
especially in the province of the Span
ISL representative.
In some instances, all league members
and even nations outside the league
structure have been circularized al

bearing on questions TO come before
the council. In approaching problems

conference to be held ut Brussels May

of submitting to all powers a full ques-
tionnaire. The United States govern
ment received one Of these, but it is
not known what reply was made.
The information sought was not such
as is usually regarded as confidential
by a government but merely called for
placing in standardized form figures as
to trade and other matters which as a
rule are contained in routine govern
meat reports.

BENSON W4RNED
ADMIRAL SINS
Not to Let His Friendship for the Brit
ish to Unduly Influence His
Official Acts.

Washington. ID. G.. May 6.Admiral
William s. Benson. wartime chief OF
naval operations. told the Senate naval
investigating committee to-day that
both before and during the war he had
warned Rear Admiral Sims not to lei
his friendship for the British unduly
influence his official acts.
Admiral Benson said he could not
deny that he had told Admiral Sims
in March 1917 mot 10 let the British
pull the wool over your eyes; we would
as soon fight them as the Germans as
he could not recall all the details OF
tine interview.
The witness did say, however that o
wrong Interpretation had been placed
on the statement attributed To him by
Admiral Sims and he added that as a
result he had been done 2 grave in
Justice.
He denied that he was in any way
unfrieDdly to the British.
Asked by Chairman Hale what in
structions he gave Admiral Sims be.
fore that official first sailed for Lon
don, Admiral Benson said he cautioned
him TO be very careful of his conduct,
in view Of the delicate situation. and
to remember that the United States
still was q neutral
Il gave him very earnest iBstrlc-
tions along that line said the witness.
Il felt very strongly regarding the sit
uation and probably used very forcible
language TO impress ON him the seri-
words | used | cannot recall.
Admiral BeRson added that il Sims
said he had been told not TO let the
British pull the wool over his eyes. Il
would have to go at that
"You do not deny itf" asked the
chairman.
Il cannot deny Il under oath re-
Piled Admiral Benson. 81 do deny the
Interpretation that has been placed or
attempted to be placed on it. / don't
think anything could have been more
confidential than my conversation with
Admiral Sims"
"How could YOU say that we wouid
as soon fight the British a. tile Ger
mansg" asked the chairman.
Merely as a figure Of speech TO inn
press on him the seriousness of his
task" was the reply.
Admiral Benson said that late in
1917 a feeling had grown up in the
United States that Admiral Sims was
being persuaded To give too much at
tention 20 British shipping and was
using American destroyers too largely
in connection with British vessels.
The witness testified thar when he
was in London he told Admiral Sims
of this feeling and advised him as a
friend to be more careful not only for
his own sake. but because Of his Off
cial position.
."To say that repeated the Ian
g1iage Admiral Sims says ] used be
fore he went abroad i absolutely un-
true" declared the witness.
Il never had any unkindly feeling
or ANYTHING along that line that the
quotation could indicsse. He aid he

think I ever had a conversation with
him along that line. Ny attitude then

been done me that should BE- corrected.
