PARKS BOOST
EDUCATION

Great progress in research and
educational work in national
parks was claimed today by Arno
B. Cammerer, director Of national
parks, buildings and reservations
Of the Interior Department.
Director Cammerer emphasized
the progress made in educational
work generally since the estab-
hshment about two years ago of
the branch Of research and edu-
cation in the Office Of National
Parks.
An interesting phase of the edu-
cational work in the last two
years, he said, has been the de-
velopment of the historical pro-
gram, pointing out the acquisition
of the Colonial and George Wash
ington Birthplace national monu-
ments as an important step.

has been exploded by Miss Elaine
Swenson and DR.. Michael P.

committee affiliated with New

In the course Of elaborate re-
search they discovered that q

for example, is "hlopnyoote" to

a Spaniard to hiss" is to
"sibilar."

Army and Navy News

Navy.
In all probability, the Naval Line
Selection Board that will be convened
here at the Navy Department in De-
cember will be directed to recommend
eight officers for rear admiral instead
of six. The increase in two more rear
admiral selections is due to the retire
ment on March /, 1884, of Rear Ad-
mirals Arthur L. Willard and George
w. Laws. The extent of selection pro-
motions in the staff corps incident to
the line promotions depends. of course,
entirely upon how far down the lists
the selection boards 60 in selection for
the line grades of captain and COM
mander-that is. what line running
mates of staff officers are selected.
AS promotions by seniority to the
grade Of lieutenant commander in the
line probably will extend TO Lieut..
Daniel H. Kane, whose signal number is
1852, by June 80, 1884, it is possible
that there will be promoted, by that
date, to the rank of lieutenant COM
mander, two officers of the Medical
Corps one of the Dental Corps, los Of
the Supply Corps, one Of the Chaplain
Corps, IL of the Construction Corps
and five of the Civil Engineer Corps.
It is estimated at this time that promo
tionS in the staff to the rank of lieu
tenant by June 80, 1884, will be ap-
proximately as follows: Medical Corps,
Z; Dental Corps, S; Supply Corps. 4;
Chaplain Corps, !; Construction Corps,
none, and Civil Engineer Corps, l.

Col. Harry L. Cooper. we'll known in
Army circles here, having served sew
eral tours of duty in the War Depart
ment, will be placed on the retired list
September 80. as he will reach the age
of "a years on that date. Col
Cooper has been commandant OF the
Tank School for several years.
Eighteen enlisted men of the Finance
Department will arrive here November
to attend the course of instruction at
the Army Finance School.
Maj. Clarence H. Danielson, now on
duty in the Hawaiian Department, will
shortly arrive in washington for duty
at the War Department.
During September, 10 officers of the
Army Veterinary Corps will be advanced
in rank to the next higher grade. OF
this group nine will be promoted from
major to lieutenant colonel, while the
remaining officer goes from captain to
major. The new lieutenant colonies
will be Jacob E. Behney, Jesse D. Der
rick, Raymond A. Kelser, Clell B. Perk-
ins, Horace s. Eakins, Isaac o. Gladish
