United States into the war.
Secretary Baker informed the co01s
mittee that while his mind was opou
in the matter he felt personally t1h84
he was under IA sacred obligation NOT
to disturb the body of any soldiers
not yet identified. who had fallen %
the field of honor. There are from
1900 To 1900 soldiers in that category
at present. he said but. it is hoped
that many OF these may yet be
identified and their bodies claimed by
relatives or friends.
The Secretary said he thought that
any plan of honoring the unknown dead
in the manner indicated should be car
ried out under government auspices
rather than by any state, city or
organization. He promised TO con-
slider the suggestions of the New York
committee. however, and would in
form them as soon as the matter 10
settled.

over the country are to be worked out
! by committees named at twelve re-
gional conferences recently held at
strategic points in each OF the twelve

education.
! The conferences were called by
commissioner of Education Claxton
and were presided over by Glen Levin
iSwiegett, specialist in charge of COM
mercial education of the bureau of
! education The first was held at CO.
lumbia, S. c., and the last at Phila-

The regional committees include. in
addition to the state superintendent

ents Of schools in the larger cities.
DR.. Swiggett says the task of the
regional committees will be TO plan
and construct, in cooperation with
the bureau of education, better ar
ticulated and co-ordinated course of
study in preparation for business and
commerce that will not only give the
business, as the need presents itself,
boys and girls trained for the more
elementary types of business service,
more or less routine in character. but
will early lay the foundation. with
proper sequence, in those subjects
upon which the universities must
build their courses for further train
ing and education in the major fields
of commercial production and distrl-
button, of finance, and of foreign. pub
lie and social service.
THE immediate task of each state
and regional committee" DR.. Sw1g-
gett continued, "is to ascertain by in
vestigation and survey those major
types in productive and distributive
business for which state and region
may have rea economic advantage;

A school for officers in chemical
warfare instruction has been opened
at Edgewood Arsenal, Md. Students
now In attendance are confined to se-
lections from the Chemical Warfare
Service only. At the beginning of
next year this school is expected to
be sufficientiy equipped to receive Of
ficers for this special training from
all branches Of the service.
The Chemical Warfare Service is
now sending ont instructions to all
reserve officers in regard to duties,
age. etc. under the new Army organiza-

THE NAVY.

The Navy has been invited by the
Aero Club of America to take part in
the aeroplane races to be held Thanks
giving day. November 25, at Mitchell
Field, for the Pulitzer trophy. The
Navy will place entries in the various
classes. approximately half of the
machines will be manned by naval
officers and half by marine officers.
During the past summer the Great
Lakes naval training station enrolled
1924 officers and 4,4S1 men of the re-
serves, who took part in training at
the station. Although reports from
all the districts to the bureau of navi-
cation are still incomplete in many
respects, indications are that about
5000 officers and 10000 men took
training during the summer mo-. this
on board battleships, cruisers, eagle
boats, destroyers and subchasers.
At the Navy Department it is de-
clared that the reports and recent edi-
worthiness of the eagle boats, are
without foundation. The departments
statement is substantiated by a re-
port received in the bureau of navi-
cation on the cruise of eagle boat No.
81. from Portsmouth, N. H., to New
York, stating that the officers and
men were delighted with the way the
vessel behaved when very heavy seas
were encountered. The officers de-
clared that the boats. as now bal
lasted, are excellent seacraft.
Regarding Uniform Gratuity:
The bureau of supplies and accounts.
Navy Department, in a circular just
issued regarding uniform gratuity for
naval reservists. states that reserv-
lists who are now or have been on
active duty for training are in the
same status as those who were on
active duty In time of war and are
therefore entitled to all the benefits
of that status, including payment of
uniform gratuity and re-enrollment.
According to Secretary Daniels,
there Is no foundation for the recent
gossip that Rear Admiral Archibald
H. Scales. U. S. n. would be relieved
as superintendent of the United States
Naval Academy. On the contrary. the
Secretary said: "The splendid work

open for two junior lieutenants of the
U. S. n. r. F. on each battleship of
both the United States Atlantic and
United States Pacific fleets. Each ship
will be authorized to ship for these
cruises fifty reservists on enlisted

in excess of the fifty for each ship
will be given berths on the battle
ships. Reservists will send their ap-
plications for this duty to the COM
mandants of their respective naval dis

COLONY EDUCATIONAL
FEATURES RENEWED

AT meeting held Tuesday evening,
in the schoolhouse, for the school chill
dren and their teachers, the foremen
Of the various departments were invit-
ed. and after announcing that the
school would reopen after three
weeks vacation, Mr.. Pickett outlined
plan for the educational features OF
the Colony
Among the subjects suggested for
the educational classes for grown-ups
were, penmanship, agriculture. hygien-
les, Esperanto, music; biology, and So
ciology. The idea is to have one of
these subjects taught each evening for
one hour, and ifsthere is call for more
than one night a week for. any sub
ject, arrangements can be made ac-
cordingly.
In addition to these, there may be
a class formed to study mental science
and the New Thought philosophy
The vocational training Of the chill
dren was stressed to the foremen Of
the departments. who will each take
some Of the older children who think
they would like to learn any Of the
trades, and help them learn BY doing.
The smaller children will be taken
care Of also, and, as soon as arrange
ments can be made. the older girls will
learn domestic science in connection
with the providing of special meals
fer the children at their clubhouse.
1t was pointed out that the school
policy Of learning by doing, as against
learning by memorizing, is proving its
worth to many Of, the children ,sgho
have left the Colony after a year d so
in our schools. Instances were giveis
where~a girl came to the Colony in the
first grade, and after three years went
back to California with her patents,
and, on examination in the schools
there, went straight into the sixth
grade-after three years work In the
Colony school. Other similar cases
were cited showing that the learning
by doing method of education is much
superior to the old method of menoY-
izing.
