ANOTHER RAILWAY PROJECT.


The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal to be

1t is reported that number of the
bondholders of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal Company, being satisfied
that the enterprise as canal can never
again produce source of revenue,
even sufficient to keep up the necessary
repairs, are In favor of scheme of
convertingthis important short line from
the Cumberland coal fields to the navig-
able waters of the Potomac at George.
town, into railroad They urge in
advocacy of the proposed scheme that
the canal bed can be converted into a
railroad track at comparatively small
expense and that Cumberland coal and
other traffic tributary to the line can be
transported in competition with the B.
& o.. Railroad at remunerative rates.
If this project is carried out it will
give the National Capital another i'm.
portant railroad outlet connecting with
the network of railroads in the North,
and place us in immediate communica-
ton with large section of country
rich in agricultural resources and
mineral wealth. 1t is in contempla-
tion to call meeting of the canal bond
holders at an early date to consider
this important project. The United

SUCCESS TIE CRITERION.
The Basis on Which the School Teach.
ers are to be Paid.

CTS uTe 10 DC fHius
The Commissioners state that their
object in making the recent schedule
of salaries for public school teachers is
TO enable TEACHERS who hold the lower
grade certificates TO receive compensa.
tion according TO their succcssfuness
in teaching. Under the former system
teachers were paid according to the
grade for which they held certificates;
the lower grades receiving lower
salaries. Under this schedule, teacher
who shows special aptitude for teaching
primary grades will receive promotion
in salary without regard to the grade
appointment, but with relation to the
ability shown in the results.
No radical changes among the teach
crs are contemplated in the application
of this system, but new appointments
and promotions will be governed by it.
