Indianas state superintendent of schools
has suggested that instruction In writing
should likewise include the writing of LETT
tiers, his observation having taught him
that many boys and girls go through the
necessary art. This suggestion is of ma
tional pcrtinence 1T is true that grammar
schools as rule compel the children to
ably upon such abstract themes that they
are valueless in teaching the children either
to think to express their thoughts. Let
ter-writing would teach them the art of
written expression along natural lines, and
thus provide exercise at the same time for
their fingers and their faculties.

ton: That is so absurd that Hardly care
to make any reply We run the New York
Central to make money. AS i6s officials we
ride over it almost daily in the same trains
with the passengers. Now, does it seem
likely that we are knowingly risking our
own lives? The only way we can make
money out of the road is 20 make it safer
than any other and we spare no expense
20 do this. / have wired the state railroad
commissioners asking them to come at once,
while the matter is fresh, and make a
thorough investigation. One of the com
1oissioners was at the scene of the wreck

Stories current tonight that some parts of
the wreck caught fire after the accident
were declared to be untrue, as are also the
rumors that two bodies had been found
near Peekskill. None of the injured IS
known to be in a serious condition tonight,
and all are doing well.
