 Each Tuesday afternoon Dr. Her. bert c. Clish, assistant superintend- ent of public schools of New Haven, serves as instruct or of large num- Der of teachers. He has spread much information on the subject of remedial reading.
 This group contemplates the ap- pointment of c committee to gather from every source available through out the country, all information which has to do with this remedial reading crusade. Such material will be used by local teachers who will meet every Wednesday afternoon.
 John Gilmartin, principal of Dug gan and Begnal grammar schools, is now conducting @ course in practical vocabulary building, which Is well attended. He has conducted classes and has given lectures throughout the state to college and elementary units in this field. He has planned . course of study considered to be most practical and entertaining.
 Glasses in Advanced Social Case Study" are held every Thursday evening, at which time many indi- vidual cases are given considera- ton.
 Many local teachers attend week. end classes at State college for in- structions in New Britain. The social study group fosters its own organi- zation, and holds regular meetings to discuss problems of mutual in- terest.
 The English teachers of the city have formed their own unit for @ similar purpose and for the com- parison of various methods of ap- proach to gain advancement for in- dividuals in classes. Many other such instructive methods are taken by the local teachers which keep them in step with educational ad- vancement.

Many branches of educational study are given consideration---but, the branch in which the majority of teachefs are interested this year is remedial reading.
 The real purpose of learning to roAd as announced by the local committee on National Educational week is to gain ability to enjoy the reading of worthwhile liter mture which is about. Many young people have not the ability to choose for themselves, the magazines, pe- xiodicals and books which are not only educational, but enjoyable. EUr this reason teachers in local schools are concentrating upon the problem of providing suitable in- gtruction to correct this error. Then tto. local teachers want to provide the remedial aids necessary for local children to be able to read, that they may comprehend and enjoy their reading.
 With this prospective in view the Waterbury Teachers association has 3pstered two courses for teachers, both of which deal with remedial assistance in reading--as well as practical aids and methods to be used.

 AGAINST GOVT.

Washington, Dec. 22-TUP)- United Fruit Company sought to- day to collect $i0,000,00O in claims from the government because of cancellation of ocean mail contracts.
 United Fruit is one of three oper- ators of steamship lines expected to take court action against the gov- ernment before Jan. 1, the deadline set by Congress after which ship ping concerns formerly holding mali contracts are barred from suit. Dollar Steamship Lines and the Munson Line are expected to file similar claims in a few days. This probably will bring the total sought from the government to $l5,00O, 900.
 The three companies are the only operators with whom the United States maritime commission has failed to negotiate settlement. Claims of 25 companies aggregating SIS, 100000 have been settled at a net cost to the government of about $750.000. commission officials said.

 The extension was not generally expected, inasmuch as tho Soviet press recently has published num- crous warnings that the anti- Soviet polices of the Japanese arc likely to lead to difficulties over fishing rights.
 Tn view of the troubled Far East ern situation, the extension was welcomed aS deferring for at least another year the solution Of one Of the most vexing problems of Soviet Japanese relations.
