east are lighter than when going
west. He found that a 2.000-ton
destroyer was four hundredweight
lighter travelling east than when

travelling east is going in the same

life that means the concerted et-
forts of teachers and patrons to
some definite purposes. In every

brought to light through the efforts
of someone out in the neighbOr-
hood: some potent factor for pro-
gressiveness that might otherwise
be hidden except for the fact that
a place for that talent might be
found through the efforts of both
teachers and patrons alike.
