A. T. ATKINSON'S
STATEMENT
What He Said About Uncer-
tifcated Children III
the Schools.

The attempt on the part Of an alleged
newspaper of this city to whip Superin-
tendent Atkinson over the Advertisers
shoulders. has drawn the following
signed statement from that official:
Il brought up this subject of uncer
tificated children in consequence OF
finding that there We're six children in
district which | visited who had not
been going to school for two or three
years as far as / could find out. These
children were refused certificates of
health by the doctor. From other in
formation which L had, found that
there were children in other districts.
it might be one or two or three or four,
who We're also not attending school
from the same causes; that is, the re-
fusal of the Board of Health doctor to
give them a clean health certificate.
Il considered that such thing as de-
nying children educational facilities
under these circumstances, though per-
fectly just from a health point of view,
was a matter which should be consid-
cred by the general public, and in con-
sequence of that idea. L brought it be-
fore the Board of Education for their
consideration.
THE question, to my mind, was a
very difficult one. 1, myself, after many
days of careful consideration, could not
arrive at a solution of the problem. 1t
was not that there were so many, but
il was that there were so few; and 1t
seemed to me that the proper thing was
to lay the subject before the public and
that perhaps some one might find a
solution of the problem.
II have never stated that there were
hundreds. L have simply stated that
I there were many, and even In this |
might be in error, though from the
premises upon which l am speaking 1
/ have ample reason to believe that the
number is greater than that which is
usually thought.
| 1T is possible that in the discussion
4 before the Board of Education there
may have been statements made out
side of those enunciated by the Super
intendent of Public Instruction which
may have led the listeners to imagine
that the condition Of affairs in this
direction was more serious than Ii
really is. All that / desired was this.
There was a distinct situation which
had to be met, and what I wanted was
that il should be met in some official
manner. What / asked for was the
advice. not only of the board TO whom
/ addressed my remarks. but of the
general public. whose interests are
most intimately concerned in a ques-
ton of this kind. And considered that
that was the best opportunity that
could have of putting the question be
fore the public.
| There was no idea of alarmist oil
sensational matter in what l said. II
was simply situation which l consid
lered ought to be met, and 1 still consid
or that that question has to be me-
and has not yet been solved

THE DAMAGE is GREAT.

The Reservoir mt Grand Itupids, Michigan,
Bursts, and One Hundred Million Gallons
of Water Are Let Loose.
Grand Rapids, Mich, July 2.--The
reservoir of the city water works sys-
tenn turst early today, letting loose a
deluge OF more than 100, 900, 600 gallons
of water upon thicl:ly- populated dis
trict on the hillside Immediately be-
meath it. The damage is estimated at
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Houses and bafns were washed away,
and others were badly damaged. The
Grand Trunk railroad tracks were
undermined so that trains had to be
sent around by the Pere Marquette.
Mrs. William Cooper, aged 30 years,
was swept away by tho. flood, and,
buried in mass of sand andswreckage.
Her injuries may prove fatal. Her
husband was also badly injured. A
number of others sustained minor in
juries. r.
The district swept by the food is oc-
cupied by the houses of workingmen,
and the losses are, consequently, the
more deeply felt.
Tho break was first seen by Burt
Botsford, boy, who was delivering
morning newspapers. 1t was then only
tiny stream, but, realizing the i'm ).
portance Of his discovery, the lad
aroused hundreds of people from sleep,
and urged them to escape.

ship since 1891. In the three previous
races Frank Hunts Sunshine crossed
the finish line first, hut this time she
followed the Enola few buat loneths.
The race was from the jetty at the
mouth Of the Christiaua to tine Reedy
Island buoy and back total distance
of about 30 miles, 'Admirai" Barnes
was the judge at the start and the
finish, and the Senator was stake boat
at Reedy Island. good stiff breeze
was blowing when at g26 the starting
signal was given, and the treeze con-
tinued good throughout the race. The
oontesting yachts included besides the
Enola and Sunshine, the Olive, John
Paris; Maud and Ruth, Thomas Buck
master; Norway, Howard Smith; Bella
d. King, Bernard and John Ford +;
and Sunset, Robert Smith.
The boats carried so to 100 yards Of
sail. On the way out the Sunshine was
in championship form and when she
turned the stakeboat at ll.0l she was
in the lead, with the Olive about one
minute behind and the Enola about
two minutes later. But on the home
stretch, the Enola overhauled both the
Olive and the Sunshine and crossed
the line about 12. 55 with the lead of a
few boat lengths over the Sunshine.
The time of the winner was about
hours and 20 minutes. Now the Enola
will be entitled to fly the champion
ship flag until next season or until the
next race is run.

THE ARTISTS RETREAT.
Original Plans for the Naaman's Creek
Hu Tract Enlarged Upon,

orlgnM Pinns Tor the Nuanans Cfeek
Tract Enlarged Upon.
Some months ago The Gazette told
OF the purchase of 156 acres OF land
along the west branch Of Naaman' s.
Creek, near Harvey Sation, On which
1T was announced that artists would
have their cabins and they and, their
students would study nature. g. Frank
Stephens, who is widely known for his
Single Tax views, was the purchaser OF
the property, which is most delightfully."-
located for then the announced purpose.
Several rough board cabins have been
erected and few painters are on the
ground with palette and easel. Those
interested In the enterprise are con-
nected with the Philadelphia Academy
of Design, the Sketch Club and tie t.
Square Club all Of Philadelphia.
But the original purpose is being en-
larged upon and 1t is now proposed to
establish there settlement modelled on
the order of that established IN Eng
land by William Morris. In Morris
settlement, tapestry, furniture. wall
paper and stained glass were mRnufac-
tured, and tho Elan of Mr.. Stephens
and his friends is 10 begin the manu-
facture OF furniture on powell and
artistic lines. Architects and artists
and aitiZans are to work together to
secure artistic workmanship. The set
tlement Is not TO be on the community
Elan, but is to emphasize the value of
individual handicraft. Each workman
is to have his own house and shop,
huilt Of stone. There is to be one
central place where necessary power
tools will be kept. The idea is to get
away from the method OF huddling mon
in factories and to get back to the time
when men worked for the love of doing
their work we'll and not for simply
money returns.
The property includes a five-acre
field, 10 the centre of which is a
magnificent tulip tree. 1t is proposed
to establish public square for the
settlement at this place, to have q
guild hall centrally located for the
intellectual centre OF the settlement,
and to have the abode and shops on
the sides Of the square.
Should the plan work out as ia
furniture, other industries will prob.
ably be added.
With such purpose, the place
would doubtless appeal to men like
Prof. Charles Eliot Norton, who be.
lieves in individual as against machine
work, and Ebert Hubbard, who has a
printing house at East Aurora, New
York, which follows the Morris settle,
ment idea in scme respects.

CIGARS FROM MANILA.


High School Graduates Remembered by
Captain a. n. Foreman.
While the High School Alumni Asso-
citation was having its annual dinner at
the Clayton House June 7th, two boxes
of cigars intended for use at the dinner
were being borne towards this country
from Manila. They were the gift OF
Capt Albert N. Foreman, of this city,
now in the Philippines, who is a
graduate of the High School and has
been an active worker In the Alumni
Association.
OF course, the diners did not know
that the Manila cigars were coming, for
they did not reach Wilmington until a
few days ago, when they were delivered
to DIR. Swithin Chandler, member of
the association; yet without knowing
Of Capt. Foreman IS liberality, the asso.
citation elected him rs its vice president.
In order that members of the organiza-
tion can secure the benefits of the cap
tain's gift, it has been decided that
one box of the cigars will remain DIR.
Chandler's possession, and ole in the
possession Of the president of the asso-
citation, Charles B. Palmer, and that
members can secure cigars from them.
Capt Foreman is now in Luzon and
has been having some active work in
the operations of Uncle Sam.
