URGE PARENTS TO
WATCH CITIZENSHIP
GRADES OF PUPILS
AND ATTITUDE
FACTORS IN FAILURE OF
MANY STUDENTS. PROBES
SOR o'BRYANT REVEALS

Parents of pupils in Senior
High School are asked to watch
for citizenship grades on report
cards of their children The
faculty feels that academic grades
alone do not give true picture
for the parents.
Conduct and attitude may be
factors that explain why a GER
tain pupil is not succeeding in
school-hence, the grade in citi-
zenship, which is based on the
students conduct in class and his
attitude toward the school and
its teachers, is of utmost import
ance.
Three grades are given: good,
satisfactory and unsatisfactory.
They appear on the report cards
as CO., IS" and "U". These
markings we're chosen in order to
avoid confusion with grades Civ
en- for history. music, etc.
Parents are urged to watch for
these grades. A ~" in citizen
ship should be investigated so
that both parent and pupil will
know where the trouble lies.
Many bright pupils fail or
bring in marks far below the lev
ell of their ability, Professor
Horace O'Bryant explains, "sim-
ply because they will not work
or because they are too busy an
noying others or amusing them
selves to pay attention to the reci-
tation at hand. This is one of the
tragic elements of school life-to
see intelligence wasted and wrong
habits of work and thought built
up. 1t is hoped that these citi-
zenShip grades will help parents
get on the track of the solution
of some of their problems. This
will succeed, however, only if
parents do something about if.
Every time they Sc U on a
report card they should investi-
gate the cause When a pupil is
busy learning his lessons he does
not have time to get into trou-
bic.

The first report that a long

this country is believed to have
come from British Ambassador

embassy official here, although
admitting he knew nothing of
the story one way or the other.
said he did not believe II could

Prime Minister Winston
Churchill in London said today it
is likely submarine might have
been dispatched to the waters off
the United States and added that
German raiders and U-boats al
ready are operating as far west
as the forty-second meridian.
Although Churchill did not in
dictate the exact location where
he believes the ships are operat-
ing, the forty-second meridian
runs from the tip of Newfound-
land past the bulge of Brazil in
South America and is about 500
miles east of Cape Cod
Just what American naval
ships would do if they did find
the submarine operating within
the 600-mile neutrality zone Is
unknown. Previously. both Great
Britain and Germany have in

Especial to The Cifizenl
WASHINGTON. D. c.,
March Ex-senator Pepper
announced today he anti
cipated that within a few
days the Bureau of Yards
and Docks of the Navy would
contract for the construction
of a 135 mile water main
from the Florida mainland
to Key West to provide for
the needs of the Navy and
the civilian population of
Key West.
For several years the
citizens of Key West have
been striving for a source of
water supply to displace the
age old system of catching
rainwater," Senator Pepper
said, land it now seems that
within a few months this
great need will be supplied
as a result of a cooperative
agreement between the
Navy and the citizens of
Monroe County through its
Aqueduct Authority created
by the 1889 Legislature.
With the prime view of pro-
vldlng a certain and constant
source of water supply for the
Nays needs at Key West, the
10th Congress appropriated ST.
000,00000 for the construction of
a II inch water line from Home
stead to Key West. Subsequent
negotiation by the Aqueduct Au-
thorlty has resulted in agreement
between the Navy and the Au-
thority whereby an Is inch line
Will be constructed to supply not
only the Nays needs, but, as
well, the civilian needs at Key
West and the various small is
lands between Key West and the
mainland BY I virtue of this
agreement which has just been
reached, the Aqucduct Authority
will add $1,000. 10000 to the 81
0OO,0000 90 made available to the
Navy by the Congress. This ST.
0O0000 Will be loaned by the Re
construction Finance Corporation
to be liquidated from the proceeds
of water service charges"
Last week representatives OF
the Navy and the Aqueduct COM
mission were occupied in drafting
n contract satisfactory TO both
This negotiation was concluded
Saturday and 1t was expected that
signatures would be affixed by
necessary authority within the
next few days The Navy has al
ready received bids for the fur
nlShing ~ the piping and it is an

LANSING, Nov. 28.-The state

ito take over supervision of &c
Nearly forgotten sex offenders now
being kept at Jackson Prison,
Director Garrett Heyns said today.
The offenders who cannot be

"Under the 1889 law, these
criminal psychopathics are sup
posed to be entirely under the

But the commission has no

when you throw ashes on top of
a fire it acts like a wet blanket
and prevents the air from coming
up through the fire-bed. It is this
air that carries the heat upward
away from the CRATES. When you
put ashes on the fire the air travels
downward, overheating the CRATES
and fusing the ashes on the CRATES.
Moreover, the next time you put
coal on the fire, the air again
travels upward and causes the
ashes on top of the fuel bed to
fuse and form a solid mass of
clinkers. This of course chokes the
fire and makes it impossible to
heat the house.
The only place for ashes in the
furnace is the ashpit-except for
the thin layer of ashes on the
CRATES. Don't mix ashes and live
coal. (10)

sire to extend my congratulations
to the lady conductor for her abil-

The singers and musicians de-

had the music before them to guide
them in playing. Not so the vast

Played for Presidents

Older than the National Capital,
the United States Marine Band can
glimpse back over its stirring his
tory Of more than seven score
years.
Established in 1898, the band was
already two years old when it set
out from Philadelphia to the new
capital at Washington, travelling
most of the way afoot, while its in
struments and supplies were haul
ed in Conestoga wagons over deep
ly-rutted roads and dusty trails.
The journey took two weeks.
Arriving in the capital in July.
1900, the band gave its first concert
a few weeks later. In December of
that year the tiny band could
muster no more than two oboes,
two clarinets, two French horns, a
bassoon and a drum. ~
At that time our capital was
hardly more than sprawling
