NEW YORK, June pa dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says: Inn
portant tests with thorite, new ex-
plosive, are being conducted by the
board of ordinance and Notifications at
the Sandy Hook proving grounds. Little
is known at the war department of the
characteristics of the new explosive.
1t is the invention of Professor Tuttle,
OF Oregon, who asserts it is perfectly safe,
and was willing some weeks ago to put
red-hot poker in charge OF thorite, de-
claring it could be done without causing
ii to explode. 1t is believed to have
picric acid at it's base. Tests of the ex
ploslve by the inventor are said to have
been very satisfactory, and it may prove
to be the material the army has been
seeking.
Besides thorite, the ordinance depart
ment of the army has been experiment.
ing with joYite, emmensite and dry and
wet guncotton, paying more attention to
the last-named explosive than to any
other. So far none of them has given
the results desired before adoption for
service use.
Captain William Crozier, military at
tache of the American delegation to The
Hague conference was instructed several
weeks ago to stop in England on his
way home and ascertain if possible the
Ingredients of liddite and the secret of
the fuse used by General Kitchener's
army in the Soudan with such excellent
effect. It is untrue that he has been di-
rected TO contract for any quantity of
the explosive.
Military officers in England have ap-
parently been unable to secure all the
Information concerning the explosive
the authorities would like to haYe. It
is recalled that emmensite, discovered
in and used by France, was kept a secret,
but this government finally obtained in
formation of its ingredients and has been
testing it for some years at Sandy Hook.
Tests of iovite were made by the army
officials several years ago and were not
very successful. The navy department
has tested thorite with considerable suc-
cess, and if it continues to be satisfac-
tory it may be adopted by the naval
service.

PARENTS ARE SHOWN
Webster School Teachers
Give Unique Reception.
DAILY WORK DISPLAYED
Little Ushers Pilot Visitors
While Music Holds Sway.

The teachers Of Webster school gave
a reception yesterday afternoon to the
patrons of the school from to l. 1t was
a remarkable success in every particular.
It represents six grades OF work from
the first to the seventh, excepting the
sixth. The plan was to have samples of
the work Of the pupils on exhibition for
the parents to see as they passed from
room to room for this purpose. The work
was from the daily work and not selected
Yesterdays blackboard exercises were left
as part fthe exhibit. 1t was the pur-
pose which was carried out perfectly and
fairly to give the parents the opportunity
to see for themselves just what their chill
dren and other children are doing in Web
ster school.
The rooms were tastily decorated with
flowers and flags and on the walls were
pinned the samples of written work done
by the pupils. in spelling, writing, arith-
metic, composition and so forth. 1t was
a revelation to many who had not Wis
lied the school, to find what young chill
dren are now able to do in public school.
In arithmetic fractions are taught from
the very first This was formerly left
much later in the course. Language is
taught the same way. Gems of poetry
and prose are learned one for every month
with occasional gems in the meantime
Authors and their writings are studied in
a way to suit the grade and intelligence
of the pupil. SO with the language les
sons is found the animal stories-the foun-
dalton for natural history. With history
comes the composition which is the foun-
dation for original writing.
At the various rooms were stationed
boys and girls selected from the grades
occupying these rooms to usher the visit
ors through and to explain what the plan
was; and from the second grade to the
last were pupils who could intelligently
assist the visitor in finding out what he
came to learn. Politely the visitor was
shown in and politely asked as he left
to call again.
The drawing was in evidence and was
all free hand and showed much skill and
excellent training
The teachers giving the reception were
Miss Smith, first and secehd grade; Miss
Dorsey, third grade; Miss Cox, fourth
grade; Miss Jordan, fifth grade, and Miss
Stuckey, seventh grade. The patrons who
attended the reception were highly pleased
with what they saw. 1t will be useful
innovation if such receptions are frequent
ly given. 1t will prove a means Of
better acquaintance and understanding be-
tween parents and teachers. The attend
ance of patrons was large.
Music wa sfurnished by the High School
Mandolin club. This was a pleasant fea-
ture of the reception.
