PEN, NEW HIGH SCHOOL PAPER
 MAKES SUCCESSFUL DEBUT
Clever Stories, Poems and Articles Enliven Pages Students Support New Publication Which Does Not Rival Criterion.

The first edition of the high schools new literary publication made it's appearance Wednesday. Its sponsors were elated at the eEgerness with which the too small number of copies were purchased by the stu dents who are ever quick to grasp and support any undertaking new or unique. But five hundred copies of the Pen" were reeIed from the press, merely a trial edition. The speed with which the limited edition dis appeared re-assured the editors that the little book will never lack for plenty of supporters.
 The editors in the "debutante" Pen take pains to make known through their editorial columns that the ne" periodical iG kzserely a vehicle for the literary activities of certain of the students who are talented along this line. It is not in any way to De considered as a rival of the regular high school newspaper the Criterion The Criterion is published every two weeks and is a live neWsy little pa per, devoted entirely to events occur modelled after the daily papers. The Pen however, is strictly magazine News items are not givan space in it's columns. These are to be devoted students.
 Contains Clever Stories
 Under the guiding hand of John Waters, a young man who has had consi der able journalistic eXperlehce with a local newspaper, the Pen is expected to maintain the excellent standard which it sets for itself in it's maiden appearance. It is nveiy. up-tc the minute publication and may be favorably compared with the ela- borate and expensive "prep" school periodica1s Many of its contributors have a decided flair for short story writing, and their work will undoubt- edly improve with each effort
 The pages of this interesting maga- zine are en1ivened in many cases by clever drawings from the facile pens of certain of the students who boast a talent for this work few more cuts intersperced throughout the Pen would make it deal more attractive to it's readers. Much credit is to be given MT. Jesse R. Beans, faculty advisor who designed the first cover of the Pen" A magazine is known by it's cover, to revise the 7dage. If the Pen retains MT Beans as it's artist-in-chief there will =ever be cause to regret the lack of m attractive binding decoration

POLICE TRAINING
 FOR COLLEGE GIRLS IS W0MEN'S AIMS

A meeting of college women from every state in the Union was held at Police Headquarters, New York city, yesterday afternoon to consider inst1- tOung a course in D polfcewom ansh1p In all women's colleges.
 The organization consists of wives, daughters and mothers of college professors as well as graduate stu dents. As repr esentativeS of colleges all over the country they will spread the message of a new opportunity for trained women in the rapidly devel- opjng lines of expert investigation, fingerprinting and general education toward the prevention of crime, with a view to establishing courses in these resolution was passed indors1ng. LA resolution was passed indorsing l.Ie two weeks investigation, after which another meeting would be held at Headquarters
 Police work is 99 per cent. social serv:ce,'' said Mrs. Hamilton, explain ing why such a course would have interest for college women 'We must put trained minds to work on the problem of crime prevention, just as we have in combating disease: The women have a valuable contribution to make.
 ITO be good member of the Po- lice Department requires a certa in knowledge of law, knowing when an arrest is legal. and so forth Psychol- OSy, pOLn HOIIndl anu aOIloI IIlo1s Io useful. With the aid of women who are versed in these sciences great pro gress can be made toward more in tellieent treatment of municipal prob lens connected with crime"
 Enright Values Wolnen's Aid
 Commissioner Enright spoke on the need of a central bureau of identifl- cation of criminals, to be established. perhaps, in Washington. Women. he said, are particularly valuable in the work of educating citizens on mat tecs connected with crime
 Greater responsibility of the fpdi- vidual for his own safety could be brought about through a police woman nship course, said Special De- putty Harriss. treating of traffic prop Iens, with special reference to acci- dents. Nine hundred children year are hurt as a result of hitehing on behind automobiles, he said
 Finger printing as a means of iden- ,psartnent of police work which Mrs Baker said she felt would be of vital importance to women
 .eThe woman who is obliged to sit at home and worry when her ch1ld wanders away and cannot be found has a great human motive for inter est in the science of police identifica- tion," said Mrs. Baker to a reporter for The World last night.
 We do not know just exactly what direction the polhcew womanship course is likely to follow. Jiu-jitsu and the arts of self defense would be neces- sary preparation for any woman un- dertaking active police duty.
 Women Realize Need
 'But the great point is that these women have been so aroused by the need for trained women in police work and the opportunities for serv- ice in this iins that they feel there should be chance to acquire this SD ecfal knowledge in all colleges and Our meeting was the in itiaI e14p toward promoting womens inte,Nm in fingerprint work

samut of plot and subject Short and serial stories along serious or hum orouS lines adorn it's pages. A num- Der of poems, grave and gay, inter m1ngie with editorial comment and alumni articles. In plot selection the contributors run from midnight par ties at the Ritz to hairraisinR tacics. Of Geectives, from destroyers blowing though foreign seas to mysteries of the dissecting room. The poetic ef- forts of the students show a varied in teFeSt in things romantic, Tnelo-dra- matic, even tragic. A clever little sa- tire on the meditations of a young fapper recently out of love is decid- ediy clever. Miss Irene Conner of last years class, is the contributor.
 The large number of advertisements show the untiring efforts of the bus mess board, and the interest of Bridgeports business men in the work of the high school is herein reflected.
 CO1fribution Increase
 Contributions to the Pen" are ex- pected to arrive in the hands of the Editor-in-chief with much greater facility from now on. In order to- stimulate interest in the new paper and to maintain a high standard of literary contribution The Pen" an- nounces in it's columns that members of it's staff of contributors are eligible to compete in the Atlantic Monthly Essay Contest for colleges and high schools. The prizes are first $50 geo. ond s25, third s10. There are two sets of prizes, one for college and one for high school students
