HOMES OF SEA CREATURES
Coral the Result OF Work OF the
Polype-Some islands Built En-
trely OF the Material.

Coral Is the home built for itself
by tiny sea creature known as the
polype, which resembles the sea ane-
none. but Is much smaller. Multitudes
Of them construct their houses side
by side on rock, and In course OF
time the colony may grow until II Is
miles In length. In the warm south
ern seas there are many islands made
entirely Of coral They stand for the
most part In waters OF great depth,
where there Is no shelving beach. The
smallest OF these islands, II has been
estimated, Is the work OF a colony OF
these creatures outnumbering many
times the human population OF the
world. -a-.---SszfsEkz1'E.I -
As II is known that the polype
cannot live In water OF a great depth.
the manner In which these islands
we're constructed has perplexed sclen-
lists for centuries, for II Is obvious
they cannot have been built up from
the bottom OF the vast depths In which
they now stand.
II was the view OF Darwin that
when the polype colony first came,
the top OF the rock was but q few
feet below the surface Of the water
AS the rock sank, the creatures below
died because they could not endure
the pressure OF deep water. But
their homes remained. and succeed
ing generations built upward. keep
ing pace with the downward prog
ress OF the rock.

PianiSts Gather
To Further Melody

A muoh-ncedod organization has
been started at Western In the
form OF a Pisnists' Club. This
organization was formed for the
purpose of giving major music
piano pupils confidence in them
selves when playing before an au-
disnce, whether It be the three
major music examiners or an au-
dience equivalent to the capa-
city Of the assembly hall. The
meetings will be held once In
every two weeks and each mem
Der will be required to play at
each meeting. regardless OF the
length and difficulty Of his or her
piece. The same piece may be
played at any number Of consscu-
tive meetings, so that none are
barred by reason OF small rep
ertoire.
Back of It are Miss Lynch and
Mrs. Morrison. one of the major
music examiners. who have
given their hearty approval OF
the formation OF such a club.

These boys are all interested in
Princeton, and were given this
opportunity.
The Princeton alumni in attend

HERE ARE A FEW
EASTERN GLIMPSES

Eastern is an active place.
Edna Burrows, the wide-aweke
editor of 'The FASTENER" says:
although there are 1901 stu
dents crowded in the inadequate
building, our school spirit is no
wise dampened.
1.-THE most exciting affair re-
Gently was the spring play. The
Amszons,' given last week. 1t was
a great success.
Both track and baseball are
putting in hard, regular practice
and both boys and girls rifle
teams seem to be hitting them
right into the midst thereof
''The Student Council OF Eastern
is planning a series Of sovel and
helpful assemblies. to which they
have invited members OF the alum
nj to speak on their various voca-
tions. in which they have attained
success. Mr.. Foster, one Of the
alumni who is now 2 successful
lawyer. spoke on Law as n Pro-
fession.' The value Of these talks
can be easily seen as so many OF
us are undecided as TO what course
In life TO follow.

Cooperation Is
Urged Between
Home and School

Cooperation between parents and
school authorities and healthful
home environment are the two
most important contributing FAC
tors to the success OF Washington
schools, according TO Commissioner
Tigert. speaking before the mem

Congress of Mothers and Parent
Teachers Associations not long
ago in the Hotel Harrington.
The commissioner urged parents
of school children to keep in direct

Business Wins
From Emerson
in Debating

Resolved. That the Five-Plan
Compensation Bin Should be
Adopted" This was the sub
ject of the first debate outside of
its members that the Daniel Web
ster Club OF the Business High
School has ever held. Defending
the negative side Of the question
Business succeeded in defeating
the debating team of Emerson
Institute. The speakers for Bust
ness were Margaret Ryan. Erna
Otto and Maurice Robin. with
Gladys Evans as alternate. EN-
srson was represented by Joseph
Byrnes. A. o. Stanley. jr.. and
william Hunt. with William Barr
as alternate. The presiding officer
for the evening was Charles
Baker, president OF the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations.
Judges were Congressman Carroll
Beedy. Conrad H syms and Guy
Mason
The debate. held March 81, in
ths auditorium at Business, was
well attended and proved Of keen
interest to all. Miss Ryan, OF
Business. was very convincing in
her manner Of presentation and
Mr.. Byrnes was commended by
the judges for his presentation.
The debate brought out many Of
the good points OF interscholsstic
debating and IL is hoped that
there viii soon be a series Of de-
there between the different high
schools whereby we can have q
champion In debating as well as
in athletics and cadets.

Cadets Waring
in Skill Games

The annual war game competi-
ton began when Company @.
First regiment. and Company c,
First regiment, played.
The series is divided into four
parts, known as the preliminaries.
elimnations, semi-finals and finals.
In the preliminaries each team In
the brigade plays one game, and as
soon as a team loses a game It In
eliminated from the series. At the
beginning Of the eliminations there
are only half as many teams in
the series as there were at first.
Thus the teams are successfully
eliminated until the finals, when
only two teams remain to play the
last game which decides the cham
pionship.
The preliminary games this year
are all parallel problems; that In,
both teams have the same problem.
The idea OF the parallel problem
is to instruct the teams in giving
commands and disposing of troops.
The following gives names Of the
teams that have played. and the
winner of each game:

BUSINESS NEEDS NEW
SCHOOL AND MORE EQUIPMENT
By ALFRED MeGARRAGHY.

oF the five white high
schools. Business (now that
Eastern has a new build
ing) is the oldest and there
fore the next In line for new
building. At the present time
Business Is forced TO operate a
two-shift plan. which has proved
very unsatisfactory. Even with
this plan students are forced to
occupy the typewriting rooms
Of the school for study. Others
are forced to study in the halls
with an artificial lighting sys-
tenn.
We have an assembly hall
which accommodates not more
than TOO comfortably, and into
this hall we have often crowded a
thousand or more. There is no
gymnasium Of any size to take
care OF the physical development
OF the students. The lack OF a
field for athletics Is keenly felt,
and the cadets of the school are
forced TO drin in the streets where
they are always In danger Of an
accident.
We are now more than 1900.
occupying a building that should
accommodate only a thousand.
Surely. in the Capital Of the great
est country In the world, educa-
tionsl facilities should be the very
best, and no expense should be
spared to make them so. Are con-
ditions such as stated to continue
or is Business to have what II de-
serves-a new. fully equipped,
modern building TO take care Of
the demands OF the children OF
Washington in their desire for a
business educstion7
We are now more than thirteen
. hundred strong, occupying a
building that should accommodate
only a thousand. Surely in the
Capital Of the greatest country
in the world educational facilities
should be the very best. and no
excuse should be spared to make
them so.

their several languages. They In
vite speakers to their meetings and
make the club more educational
than frivolous.
SCIENCE ENCOURAGED
The Wireless Club has for it's
aim the encouragement OF the use
Of wireless telegraphy by high
school pupils. It's members ex-
change ideas on the subject and
have many additional advantages.
Speakers are constantly giving ex-
hibitions and short talks at the
meetings of this organization. Un-
der the leadership Of Miss Wal
lace, teacher OF physics at West
ern.the club is learning tIIe value
of Marconi's invention and Its use.
The Wireless Club is undoubted-
ly one Of great value to Western.
Another new organization Is the
Banjo Club. which. as the name
implies, Is formed with the object
Of promoting the use Of the ban
10, ukelele, mandolin and other
small stringed instruments. The
club II q popular one ana win prob
ably grow a great deal. as the in
struments Il encourages are well
liked among Western students, in
fact. those who play or strive to
play any of the above named In
struments are flocl<ing TO the stan
dards of the Banjo Club.
These are only a few of the or
Eanizations for which Western Is
famous and there are many others
an deserving of space In this ar
ticie as those mentioned. but to
enumerate all the clubs Of Western
and 20 speak OF their advantages
would take this entire page.
Although these clubs have al
ways co-operated to a certain ex-
tent they have never been drawn
together by so strong q bond as
that of the newly organised stu
dent committee. This organize
tion is composed OF the heads Of
all student activities. the captains
of the cadet companies. and the
heads of the school organizations
and It's duty In TO aid the principal
and faculty as far az possible In
their work.
COMMITTEE VALUABLE
Although this committee was
appointed only a short time be-
fore the beginning Of the present
semester It has already done some
valuable work In reducing to a
minimum the noise In the audi
toriumN during assemblies. This
IL important to Western as the
auditorium has very poor acous-
tics 80 that a slight sound In the
audience will make II difficult for
a speaker 10 be heard.
Since the committee II made up
of the heads Of the organizations.
some of which are enumerated
above, It follows that It has the
cooperation of each individual OF
all the clubs in the same manner
as the Congress at Washington
has the cooperation OF those
whom It represents, the individ-
uals Of each State. In this way
Western. hopes to bring about
perfect cooperation between the
three factors Of the school, the
student body, the faculty and the
nrincipal.
