The condition of the wheat market is
very unfavorable just at this time, The
buyers are unable to find money to buy
and carry wheat. The sellers are forced
to sell as they cannot get money in any
other way, and the result is that wheat
must so at forced sale price. The
boarding of money is the cause of all
this, and to a large extent the producers
are boarding their money, thus helping

SCHOOLS OF NEW HAVEN COUNTY
Interesting Features of the Report of the
State Board of Education.


One of the interesting features of the
report of the state board of education is
the results of the special investigation
which S. p. Willard made into the
schools of New Haven county. The
county contsins 1877 school districts and
245 public schools. The purpose of the
inquiry was to learn the methods of in
struction used, the qualifications of the
teachers, the help afforded them by the
school authorities, the general interest
in education manifested by the COM
munity and all other facts of education
al interest as far as they could be
learned from the school visitors and
teachers.
The average attendance in this county
is 90 per cent of the enumeration. This
means that more than half of the
children between four and sixteen years
OF age are in constant attendance. The
variations are noteworthy. In Bethany
the attendance reaches 70 in every 100.
This Is due to the attendance of few
over 16. In Waterbury and Derby
many are drawn into private schools,
leaving 40 of every 100 in public schools.
In Hamben there is no reasonable ex-
PLANTATION of the small attendance.
There are many places where children
do not get more than 80 weeks schooling
in the year. This is broken up into a
few days now, few weeks later on and
is never consecutive and regular.
The increase of population in New
Haven county is very great and the re-
port says: "There is year by year a
dense mass of new children for whom
schools must be provided. The problem
of overtaking and keeping pace with the
educational wants of these towns has
been met by high taxation, or by bor-
| rowing. Schoolhouses and APPLIANCES
necessities which cannot be averted-
have been provided. The task is unend-
ing, and the good result not immediate
ly apparent. 1t is a serious discourage
ment IN public school efforts, that the
| criticism of the present is ready and
sure. while the resulting and ultimate
benefit is long delayed and seldom
recognized.
The furniture in most of the schools is
faulty. The seats and desks are not
proportIoned to the heights and adjust
able.to the growth of pupils. Seats are
not adapted to the form of the body
and the tendency is to take some dis.
torted position in studying. There is,
however, gradual and satisfactory inn
provement in school furniture. Very
few school houses now contain the old
fashioned planks and few have seats
around the outside of the rooms. The
inquiry shows that in most school
houses there is entire want of any
proper ventilation.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-The injured OF

clerks who were in the building on the
day of the disaster have been accounted
for.

cial duties to-day as usual. 1t was ru-
mored that he had been suspended, but in
quiry proved the report to be untrue. The
President only has the authority to sus-
pend or remove Col. Ainsworth, and it is
learned, from excellent authority. that he
will take no action in the case until it be
shown that Col. Ainsworth was in some
way responsible for Fridays catastrophe.
1t is not customary to suspend an official
upon the presumption that charges may
be made against him.

The Sham Murder Case.

TRENTON, N. J., June 14.-In the
