College Club House
 Planned In Boston

Boston, Dec. 3O.-Co1lege men and women of Greater Boston have in prospect a club home, to be built at an estimated cost of $1,6O0,0O0 under plans of a committee of the present University club, the sponsor of the project. With the existing organiza- ton as a nucleus, the University club is expected ultimately to have mem- bership of 5000.
 There are known to be 28,OO0 per sons, alumni of 237 colleges and uni versailles, resident within 30 miles of the city, who are eligible to mem bership. Separate organizations are now maintained by graduates of 71 of the institutions. The present Uni- versity club was organized in 1892 at the suggestion of Amherst men, ose idea was to form a luncheon club.
 Specifications of the new structure for a building in the Renaissance style, of limestone and brick. The basement will contain squash courts, swimming tank, billiard and pool room barber shop and locker room. The two floors next above will in c1ude dining and grill rooms for both men and women, reception rooms, li- brary, lounging and guest rooms. The third floor will be given over to women's use and the fourth and fifth floors will consist of sleeping quar- terS.

simplicity and dignity of the whole conception The Gladden. school is but an addition to the group of ed ucational buildings in classic style to which belong the new buildings re- gently erected by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
 Ultra Modern Design
 The Washington Gladden. school of MT. Ittner's design is the latest word in high school planning. As a mod el of sanitation, lighting and ventila- tion it has no peer. MT. Ittner gives emphasis to gymnasiums and play grounds as essential to all types of schools. The Gladden. school is equipped with two complete gymna- siums, while the surrounding grounds will soon see the laying out of a base ball and football field.
 Within a year on the seven acre tract of vacant land on Boston and Central avenues will arise a majestic building of classic design. The now barren earth will bear fruit, hedges, trees and gardens will spring up about the structure Bridgeport has so long needed. A capacious athletic field will be laid out in the Tear, where high school teams will meet their opponents under conditions they may well bo proud of.

Turks Bring Fidget
 Beads to Lausanne

Lausanne, Dec. 3O.-"Fidget beads' made their appearance in the Lau- same conference, and are assisting the poets, philosophers, historians, antiquarians and statesmen of Levan- tine delegationse in solving Near Eastern problems.
 Djellaladine Arif Bey. representa- tive of the Angora government at Rome, constantly carried a strand of large red beads which he fingers nerv- ously while discussing how the Bos- phorus and the Dardanelles shall be disposed of.
 Other members of the large Turk ish party carry similar beads. and to a lesser degree they are used by ether Near Eastern Delegations.
 Levantines cannot relieve their nervousn ess by twirling their thumbs or playing with their watchfobs after the manner of Westerners They must have their hands engaged before their brains can function. or at least they think they must. Consequently fl is not unusual to meet Near Eastern representatives wandering through the hotel Hobbies of Lausanne in an aim less way with bright-colored beads in their hands.

SAYS COMMERCIAL. EDUCATION IS TOO
 RESTRICTED IN H. 5,

Chicago, Dec. 30-The purpose and character of public high school com mercial education has been too re- stricted, it has concerned itself too narro owly to courses in business tech niQue and has neglected to give stu dents the proper background and un- derstanding of business conduct and relations, declared Glen Levin Swig- ton, speaking here tonight on bus mess education in the public schools, before the National Commercial Teachers Federation.
 '"The problem in business educa- tion today is to coordinate skill and information, method and knowledge D he stated.
 Business education is not easy to define," MT. Swiggert said. That condition will prevail until it becom es more of a science or a profeSsi on. Recent years have seen much done to give scientific character and pro- fessional aspect to business, it's con duct and procedure. Colleges and universities have instituted research departments for the study of produc- uon processes, marketing methods and devices and systems used in bus mess procedure AS result, the in many directions by these institu- tions in preparation for well defined business careers.
 ''F'or example, many universities are offering courses in accounting, ad- vertising and merchandising, bank ing and finance, insurance, foreign trade and consular service, organiza- tion and management and transpor- tation. The scientific study of busi- ness problems involved will lead to a statement of principles and laws, and a definite fund of information gov erning new business procedure which will bring new subjects for study in the field of bushes education.''

 Sixty other education institutions are broadcasting educational and mu- sical programs, 47 of them being col leges and universities. The cOmbine ed area nominally covered by these in stitutions has been estimated to be seven or eight times the total area of the United States"
 The National Radio Chamber of Commerce, which has set out to end confusion in the radio industry by bringing into harmony all of it's in strumentaiities, is devising a scheme of practical assistance to educational institutions.
 ''The importance of radio broad casting as a means of reaching a large number of listeners in the Uni ted States, otherwise inaccessible, is being foorced home to us every day., it's announcement says.

Some time since, plans to save the Glory of the Seas were in full sway but were abandoned Yesterday they were again in full swing, with Boston marine lovers behind them. and indf- cations were that they will be car ried to completion.
 She is to be restored to all her former glory and, as the same ship that poked her nose into ports all over the world and that was the won der of sailing men and landlubbers alike with her speed, she is to sail once more in past Boston Light to spend the last of her days in the port where she was launched.
 The Glory of the Seas, a full-rigged ship and beauty, was launched East L oston in 1869 and when sne pol1ed her nose outside the harbor and sailed down the coast with her first cargo, hardy old sea-dogS mar veled. And when she made her first port with cargo they marveled still more.
 Fastest Craft of Her Kind.
 For the Glory of the Seas was the fastest thing of her kind a1oat. She carried the Stars and Stripes into almost every port in the world and in every port she was the object of all interest. Through storm ana calm, she held her own and 35 years ago she became world-famoLs when she made the fastest run from San Fran cisco to Australia that a sailing craft ever made. And nobody has ever built ship that has equalled her record yet.
 Until as latte as 1912. even when steam vessels were making fast runs across the oceans the Glory of the Sea held her supremacy. No full rigger could beat her and she won "yachting weather'' races were hers either. They were stern battles in gales and hurricanes. around the Horn or across the Atlantic, as the case might be. She cargoed all sorts of things from port to port so quickly that she was mint for her owners.
 Battle With Pirates.
 Her decks fairly reek with history. The most famous battle that was ever fought with Malay pirates was stag ed on the blanks that were heWed in New England far the "Glory of the Seas" decks. Anywhere that old time sailor men gather they still talk of the 24-hour battle with the pir- ates on the "G1ory of the Seas-'' Loaded with silks and priceless oth- CT riches of the Orient, she was en route to San Francisco. Becalmed somewhere en route. in the dead of night, her watch suddenly was over powered as a ha1f-dozen forms came over the rail. Once he shouted and then a knife sti1led him forever.

England and Germany have quickly grasped the significance of cationaI contact and preparations are being made to broadcast university extension courses in those countries.
 Extension lectures may be broad casted from the college or university without in any way interfering with the local audience within the school. It is not now necessary that the school have its own broadcasting sta- ton; a powerful central station near by connected herewith by the micro phone in the lecture room may be used. In some Instance the lectures are being followed up by question: naires and suggested reading which are mailed to the listeners upon re- quest, and by examination sheets fol- lowing at the end of the course.
 "Pioneers are already active in this dicate both individual and concerted action. There are, however, a great many intricate problems connected with the subject of broad casting. which the National Radio Chamber of Commerce hopes to see solved within a comparatively short time. These problems have an intimate connection with the success of any considerable program of education extension by radio"
 Kenneth P. Gregg, one of the en- gineers and managers of the National Chamber, said the Chamber was col lectfng a large amount of data to place at the disposal of educational institutions. The aim of the Cham Der, it is stated, '"is to see that radio broadcasting assumes, in the course of it's evolution, a sound economic position of greatest possible useful ness"
 Prof. Michael I. Pupin of Columbia University, noted wireless inventor, thinks that radios greatest field of usefulness will be in popular edUca- tion. The "craze' stage is passing and the stage of real utility is ap- preaching, according to Prof. Pupin, who predicts that through radio edu- cation will be carried to multitude es of working men and women who oth- erwise would be cut off from the sources oS higher learning.

KINDERGARTEN
 PLACE TO BEGIN
 AMERICANIzkTION

The kindergarten is the connecting link between the home and the school; it partalSeS of the nature of both. The kindergarten is the right beginning of school for all children, whether they come from the [homes of Enslish-sp eaking parents or whether their parents speak a foreign language. The child's relationship to the kindergarten teacher, who is wise and loving like a good mother, but who is more impersona1 in her atti- tude, brings him into sympathy with the institutional life of the school When child is forced to go directly from the natural atmosphere of the nome to the oppressive atmosphere he begins his school life with a sense of discoura cement that may affect his whole later development.
 But If the transition from home to school needs to be made a more nat ural one for all little children, how much more is it true of the little children who can not speak word of English. When the shy foreign child the threshold of strange place and encounters strange children who speak a strange language, and who are being initiated into strange schoolroom practices by a lady who is stranger. This beginning in the process of being Americanized is a trying experience. The simplicity and natural character of the kinder
 
 games that are common to children of all nationalities, makes the for e1gn child feel at home.
 The kindergarten teacher visits his own mother in his own home and invites her to come to the mothers s meeting held in the Kindergarten room, and persuades her to visit the kindergarten while it is in session. All this is part of the emphasis which the kindergarten places upon the social aspect of education, and is the best type of Americanization work; the mother as well as the child Is learning the language and customs of America, and so there will not be that alienation between the child and his family which may be a menace our school children.
 While the life of the ndergarten is more informal than the convention al schoolroon. it would not be a happy place if this society of little children were not founded on the law and order which are coincid ent with respect for the rights of others and obedience to just auth hority. Here the child of foreign parents is learn Ing his first lessons in citizenship in a truly democratic atmosphere. As he salutes the flag and sings the songs Of his country, he associates the sym bols of patriotism with the happy companionship and cheerful obedi- ence of this group of young citizens in the making When the right at titudes which are begun in the kin dergarten are carried on in the grades of the school, the foreign child becomes a true citizen of these Uni ted States

HARVARD GETS
 VALUABLE DATA
 OF GREAT WAR

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. SO-The Harvard University Library has made effective progress in accommodating data of the World War which will enable the historian of the future to determine the exact disposition or the opposing military forces at all times throughout the period of active fighting. Detailed maps and airplane 11hotographs form important part of the collection.
 An official of the library, explain ing the collection recently, pointed out that the fighting in France was in a region of which the French gov ernment had prepared detailed maps, showing houses, woods, fields, books, contours and every other feature.
 s'For the most part he continued, 'tthe trench warfare was sufficiently static to make it possible for the in telligence department of each army to prepare exact maps revealing the precise layout of enemy trenches, and to a great extent the disposition or machine guns, artillery, etc The mechanical processes of making such maps from week to week or from day to day reached, during the war, a perfection hitherto unknown.
 1.-The historian of the future will be able to take the French maps of their own and of the enemyS lines Tn a certain sector and the German maps of their own and of the French lines, all of which were prepared at frequent intera1s, and by comparing them will be able to see exactly how the warfare in that sector progress ed He will not have to depend, as the historian of former wars depend- ed partly on personal recollections and impressions of where such and such a charge took place, and where the lines ran during such a week.
 we already have 8 large collec- ton of such maps, in addition to hundreds of books and documents re- lating to military, economic and po- littcal conditions dn the warning countries, ranging from complete files or Parole, the German army pub Ication, official casualty lists and files of airplane photogra phs, to collec- tons of war posters and official memoranda. We have a complete set of the official proclamations issued by the German government from June, 1914, to the arrnistfce. and are now acquiring the German cOnfiden- tial review of the foreign press. In getting material from Germany we have been greatly aided by Ellis l.. Dresel former American commits sioner at Berlin, who is a Harvard graduate.
 I've are trying. with the assistance of friends of the university and Oth- CTS who have valuable material at their disposal, to build up not mere ly an entertaining assortment of war documents, but a working collection of source material which will be of positive value to those in the future who may wish to study the precise progress of events and their under lying causes throughout the war"
