There are more than ome million and a half boys and girls in the high schools of the United States. Of this number some 200,000 will graduate in June. In ordipary times almost one- half of this number of ' graduates would enter college in October. * This year, on account of the war, it is fearéd by national educators that many boys and girls who would ordi- narily go to college will Temain at home and assist in the work of waging war.. Forestalling such an at- tempt, United States Commissioner of Education Philander P, Claxton has issued an appeal to these students-to remain at their studies. He addresses them in patriotic terms and asks them to continue their studies as a patriotic society, state and natlon, that can be rendered only by those who have had special training. To lose this would De & set-back to-the nation. There are enough mature men and women in the country to insure the work of war belng done in satisfac- tory fashion, There is no need to draw upon theé Tanks of the young high school boys and girls, nor even the ones who have already or are aboyt'‘to matriculate in college. The selective draftiis designed to take men for the army between twenty-oné and thirty years of age. Of all the men between those ages in the United states 1t is figured that but ome out of every twenty will be called for actual service in the army. The others will be ‘put to work in positions where they can do the most good. There is no real need ‘of drawing upon the younger. The high school, normal, technical and vocation 'school pupils constitute only Wbout one- half of ‘one per cent. of all those rated as of ‘productive age.” There are 60,000,000 people in the country earning their own living. There are not quite 400,000 pupils in all the in- termgdhry schools, the schools be- tween grammar schools and colleges. This includes the 200,000 high school children, Should the war continue for some years to come, as it probably will, the country will have need for more scientifically trained men and women than it now possesses. There are ever 80 many men who can fight in the trenchies. It does not require a college education %o do that. There "will be men needed as officers, as en- | ‘giiieers’ at the front. There will be need for experts of transportation and other sciences at home. Scien- tific. knowledge and . skill are needed in the industries just. as much as fighting valor in ‘the trenches. These are the thoughts the high schoal pupils about to graduate are asked to ‘ponder and. think upon.

COMMUNICATED. { Watch a_ Few Moons and Find Out | How It Acts on Old Mother Earth. } To the Editor of the Herald: Fop the firbt timg in the history of this country, the ~ gxports of the United States excéeded six billion dol- | jars in the twelve months ending with | April of this year. In 1916 the ex- ports of Anferica amounteq to less than four billfons of dollars. In yea:s previous the exports avaraged around two billigh dollars. The excess of ex- ports over imports "l\mnx #the twelye months ending April, 1917, amounted to, 3,660 milijons, a8 .ghnn 1,014 muuons in 1916.

To illustrate: If the new moon makes its appearance very high and well to the north, as was the case with the present and last moons, we are reasonably sure of cold weather during its stay, and its reverse is in- vatlably the rule with a low south modn. A high north mon will bring cold weather even in July. A low south moon will bring warm weather even in January. - ‘ Tt there is gny doubt existifig in the minds of your readers regarding /the above. astronomical sign, and they should think I am laboring ulder a case of luna-cy, all they have to do to confirm this weather sign, is to watch a few moons. JAS. E. BEALE., COAL, COAL, COAL. From Producer to Consumer Is & i Long, l‘m\‘ ‘Way Via the Middleman. To the “Editor of the Herald: o The New Britain coal déalers, hav- ing made no public explanation or de- fense of their attitude in the letter car- riers’ coal affair, it seems reasonable to presume that they still stick to their guns,—that-is to say “the public be damned.” I would like to add one more illus- tration. I heard it rumored that one ! of our factories that, by the way, bought seed potatoes and fertilizer and sold same to their help at cost, con- templated buying coal in carload lots and disposing of it in the same way.

So there you are. ‘The word hoycott‘ as applied by some of the labor organizations has a rather harsh meaning. Can you see any differsnce in this case? Is not the present condition, although not quite along the same lines, almost parallel to the conditions that actuated our forefathers in throwing the tea into Boston harbor? What are we going to do about it? Some of: us unsophisticated consum- ers might think it a matter for the Chamber of Commerce to take up; but pause! The bell wether of the coal dealers, being one of the captains of the Chamber of Commerce, and that body not being noted in its attitude to. the consuming public other than to help ‘each other.demand his,pound of flesh and keep out competition, so it would probably be outside of their realm to do anything in the matter.

Nevertheless, the different Squads, within their respective fronts advance according to how best ‘they may progress, awing to peculiarities of the ground, or the possibility of cover. On halting, the men in all cases face to the front, which (in Combat or Extended order) is always the direction of the enemy. Even when a Squad marches to the rear, it faces to the front immediately upon the halt.

Coming to the registration booth armed with this accurate data they could read off the replies quickly and easily and thus make the work easier and more speedy for themselves and the regis- trars. There have been numerous ques- tions propounded to the ¢ity clerk by out of town men and also by friends of men who are ill, relative to regis- tering. The rules in reference to the items are briefly: Go to the place of registration in your own ward ber tween the hours of'7 a. m. and 9 p. m. on June 6.° If you‘expect to be ab- sent from home on-Jane'§ go ‘at once to the clerk of the o to be in, or if in &' city of 30,000 or miore go to the city clerk, and get in- #tructions from him. If a person who ought to be registered is teo ill to visit the booth he should send a com- petent friend and the clerk mgy depu- tize him to prepare the card. People should not forget that the burden is upon the person to be registered and it is hiz duty to register, rather than the duty of ‘the registrars to see that he registers: When the census is over it will be the duty of certaln officla)s to ferret out those who have proved themselves to be slackers and see that they are brought to justice.

Rawlings had an ex- follows: “Ag Skirmishers, Guide (Mor Center), MARCH.” It marching, the Cerporn.l of the Base Squad deploys it and moves straight to the front. When Ms Squad has ad- vanced to the point on which the Cap- tain desires to form the Skirmish Line, the Captain commands, “Com- pany HAUT.” The Squad then halts and the other Squads halt on the same line. If the Guide is Right (Left), the other Corporals move to the Left (Right) front, and in succession from the base place their advance to the left front; if the Guide is Right—ob- scrve—the Squad must advance tp the left front; if the Guide is Left, then to the right front. If the Guide be Center, the other Corporals move to the right or left front, according as they are on the right or left of the Center Squad, and in succession from the Center Squad place their Squada'* on the line. If at a halt, the Basé Squad is de- ployed without advancing. The other Squads ‘are then conducted to their proper places by the Flank. Interior Squads may be moved when Squads more distant from the Basé have gained comfortable marching distance. That is to say, while the Squads de- ‘ploy in succession, according as they are near the Base, it is necessary first for the other Squads to clear a front for them by marching off on the Flank. At this point it may be expluned that, as in the Close Order drill, at- tention has so far been confined to the Company and the Squad, wishout reference to the Platoon. - This has been to avold confusion. As a gen- eral principle, however, it may be said that the rules for the deployment of a Platoon are the same.as those for the Compaily.

As a guest of Superintendent of Police John H. Redgate with an army officer as pilot, a number of state police heads were taken about the city, visiting the works of the Lake Torpedo Boat com- pany, the Remington plant and Sea- side park, now largely used as a mil- itary reservation. At the Lake plant Chief Rawlings and a number of other visitors went aboard the historic submarine “De- fender” and were informed relative to handling of this type of boat. Although the “Defender” is of a somewhat ob- solete pattern, the general and basic principles of construction and hand- ling are the same as ih vogue with the most modern specimens of this type of craft. At Beaside park the coast de- fense with monster hidden and dis- appearing guns was inspected. There was a demonstration of target prac- tice by the gunners, the spectators being agreeably surprised over the ac- curacy shown. LURE OF THE CIRCUS Ringling Brothers, Exhibiting in Hartford, Attracts Many People: to See Parade and Show This After- Big circuses like Ringling Brothers have long sinceceased to visit New Britain, due principally to the lack of main line railroad facilities, the proximity of Hartford and a dearth f centrally located property large enough to agcommodate a circus. There wWas a time a number of years ago when all the big circuses in- cltded New Britain, among them be- ing Buffalo Bill, Barnum & Bailey, Pawnee Bill and the great Ringling Brothers circus which is exhibiting in Hartford this afternoon and evening. and Meriden tomorrow. The lure of the circus, although it is ten miles away, has been felt and people went to the capitol city to watch the parade. This_ afternoon many visited the show. Tonight more will go.' The Hartford circus grounds are on Van Block avenue and the evening performance begins at 9 p. m., with the main doors and menagerie open one hour earlier. Ringling Brothers has more than 1,350 people, forty-one elephants, 735 horses and 108 dens ,including 1,000 wild animals of all kinds, all transported in. a special train of eighty-nine cars. The performance opens with the presentation of Cin- drella, said to be the most gorgeous fairyland spectacle ever created.
