Pupils Taking General

ing Next Year

Naugatu:k, April 3,-Puplls TAX.
Ing the general course ct the Tuttle
house will not be In the Tuttle
house next school year, only those
taking the classical course will use
that building, The board Of edu-
cation so voted at, its meeting yes
terday.
Supt. of Schools H. e. Chitten-
den recommended the transfer OF
general course students next year,
indicating these students did not
mix we'll with the classical course
students, and that the experiment,
which has been in progress two or
three years, has not been 100 per
cent successful.
So rs a result there will not be
more than so students ct the Tut
tie house next year. The school de-
partment IN the past few years has
spent considerable money to make
improvements on both the first and
second floors OF the futile house,
TO which pupils were first sent be-
cause II was said the high school
was overorowded. There are about
80 there now including students Of
both courses,
Clarence Austin questioned the
recommendation, pointing out the
board had helped TO clear up the
situation of overerowding ut the
high school and asking II II Is now
starting right back to fill up the
high school again. Stunt. Chiffon
den denied this, saying that re-
turning the general course students
to the high school would not cause
over-crowding again. Seats have
been removed from some rooms as
much as possible TO relieve the sit
uation, he said.
The transfer to the high school
will mean one substitute teacher at
the futile house employed In q Su-
pervicing capacity this year, will not
be needed and there will be one
room vacant Mr., Chittenden said.

newspapers tell us, that the Russ
lans will destroy the German
army, that our navy has a secret
weapon that will wipe out enemy
ships and submarines, that some
unexpected miracle will take
place which will suddenly bring
the war to a glorious close.
It's all right to hope those
things-but it's all wrong to de-
pend on any such vague possibil-
tiles. We need to expect a long
war, plan for real hardships and,
instead of hoping for personal es-
cape from participation in the
, war, 60 out looking for every
door we can open to get into it.
PREVENTION cure
Maybe we need more bands
playing.
Maybe we need to see thous-
ands Of soldiers marching through
the streets with their mothers
running along beside them.
I don't know just what it is we
need, but words don't seem to be
enough. Words roll off our minds
without cutting below the sur
! face. There is no question but
that America would rise up in a
to drive out any enemy which
tried to invade us and destroy
our homes-if we saw enemy
soldiers and enemy destruction
with our own eyes.
But the difficult thing, those
who are trying to build morale
in this country agree, is to ar
ouse us before we see war in or
der to force the war into enemy
lands before it comes to us.
All our lives we've had il
preached at us that an ounce OF
prevention is worth a pound Of
cure, but we've never taken pre-.
vention very seriously. We have
excellent facilities for putting
out fires but we don't do nearly
enough to keep them from start.
ing. We have excellent facilities
FLOR patching UP people hurt if
automobile accidents but we are
lax about preventing accidents.
Now, with the most horrible
wave of destruction ever known
to man approaching our shores
the future of our nation depends
on a quick reversal of that att.
itude. We must give every ounce
of our energy to the cause of pre-
venting a disaster for which there
will be no cure.
