Ing and ordinary business forms The out
line which 1 submit has this end in view.
As to Course of Instruction.
SIN celebrating a fuller course OF IN
struction in the future. I propose to avail
myself of the best practical experience OF
other cities whose conditions resemble most
nearly those of our own making particu-
lar inquiry into the relations OF what are
known as the special studies to the common
English branches. / believe that a course
of study designed to be a final plan for
the guidance Of the teachers of all grades
should be OF slow growth and be built up
in Its working details upon the actual school
room experience of the best teachers: for,
a fair knowledge of the whole field Of edu-
cationai theory, the skilled teacher alone
knows how to apply 1t to the development
ard permanent advantage Of the child.
Once in fair working shape. such a course
should not be subject to sudden frequent
changes.
THE vital question to be asked by the
governing educational body anywhere Is,
not What Is the ideal course Of study
Ideal In Its unity. su8gestlveness, breadth
and clear purpose?' but rather, What is
the best for this community. in this day
and generation?" / invite your wise Co
operation In a careful search for the an
swer. am confident 1t will be found that
that selection and balance OF studies IS
bes, which best fits local needs and con-
ditions
I'm the work so far done have had the
advice OF the two assistant superintenden.s
and many valuable suggestions from the
supervising principals"

ROUTES OF LETTER CARRIERS.


Statement Regarding Changes Con.
templated in This City.
The letter carriers are disturbed over the
proposed redistricting Of the city III rela-
ton to the routes now covered by them.
The attention of Superintendent Of Deliv-
cry Bell was called to the matter today and
ne admitted that change was contem-
plated but denied that the present routes
would be materially altered. For any fur
Their knowledge on the subject he referred
the reporter to Mr.. Baker who has charge
of the routes.
Mr. Baker said: THE man who laid out
the present system cut out the routes with
out regard to the length of time necessary
to deliver them. In this way it became
necessary from time to time to add what
We call bumper to several routes in
order to get the mall to the people on the
tail end OF the routes within a reasonable
time. Under the new system we have
abolished this bumper business and every
one must await his turn, as the public will
readily see, when the matter is thoroughly
explained. that the carrier cannot deliver
both end and the middle of his route at the
same time. This bumper service is In
vogue nowhere in the United States to the
extent 1t Is here. and by doing away with
1t Ne are enabled to use the additional car
rier allowed us by the department"
When asked to explain the bumper SER
vice Mr.. Baker said it was collector who
was used to deliver the tail end of large
route where the people had been kicking
about late delivery.

1t is entirely probable that the Navy De-
partment will be able to straighten out the
difficulties which have arisen with the con-
tractors over the conversion of the dry
docks at Mare Island. San Francisco and
League Island. Philadelphia. from timber
to stone docks, and be able to complete
them within the limit Of the appropriations
Originally Congress appropriated $685.. 600
each for these docks. which were to have
been constructed with timber, but subse-
quently the sum Of 100000 was appro-
priated to convert them into Stone docks
The conversion necessitated considerable
change in the plans, and the contractors
who had secured the original contracts for
timber docks figured out that the changes
would increase the expense Of completing
the docks far beyond the amount OF the
appropriation. A board of officers was ap-
pointed to examine the subject and re-
ported that the estimates of the contractors
were excessive. The contractors were then
given an opportunity to be heard, and
their statements have just been received at
the Navy Department.
Admiral Endicott. chief of bureau Of
yards and docks, Is of the opinion that
eventually the docks will be constructed
within the limit Of the appropriat ton. The
work Of constructing the docks has not as

STEAM PRESSURE EXCESSIVE
REPORT ON THE WRECK OF THE
TUG TEMPLAR.
Boiler Was In Good Condition and
Safety Valve Was Found
to he Intack.

James A. Dumont. supervising inspector
general of steam vessels, has received from
]. w. CAST, supervising inspector OF the
third district, and Edwin F. White and
Chas. w. Wright. local inspectors. de-
tailed report on the explosion Of the boiler
OF the tug Templar of Alexandria. in Balu-
more harbor, July 20.
The explosion wrecked the Templar, kill
Ing Charles E. Wood, the engineer; Jerome
Moore. the mate. and wounding Captain
Crowder and the other members OF the
crew. The Templar left Alexandria with
the schooner Nellie T. More in tow. and
had Just arrived at the dock at Baltimore
when the explosion occurred so mysteri-
ously.
Charles e. Wood. the engineer, had been
engineer for the Templar ten years or
more. and the boiler had been inspected
Just month before: The report says that
the examination Of the wrecked boiler
showed all the parts to be in good condt-
ton excepting the lower part OF the front
head" This showed deterioration. the
report says:
1.-The deteriorated part was beyond the
turn of the fange, and would be hard to
detect, excepting under hydrostatic test
MIR. Stanton reports that he made an inter
nal and external examination OF the boiler
at the time of the inspection. and no weak
ness developed under hydrostatic test after
an internal examination was made. AFTER
the boiler was raised Mr.. CAST ordered the
spring safety valve to be taken off the drum
and prepared for test. On August 81 we
made a careful examination of the valve to
see if 1t had been tempered with. We found
everything intact. the valve was tested, and
found to raise from the seat at just 100
pounds.
THE pressure the boiler was certified to
carry was seventy pounds steam pressure
to the square inch and no more. There
were two safety valves, one a spring and
the other a lever valve. the lever valve was
in such a wrecked condition that nothing
in the way Of a test could be made
I'VE find that the certificate called for
two engineers and that there was only one
on board the steamer We are of the opin-
ion that the fracture started at the longi-
tudinal seam, and that the steam pressure
at the time of the explosion was far in ex-
cess Of that allowed by the certificate"

THE FRANCO-HAITIAN TREATY,
Has Been Transmitted to Paris 70,
Final Ratification.

HAS Been transmitted to Paris for
Final Ratification.
The State Department has received from
Deputy Consul Alexander Battiste at Port
an Prince the text Of the new Franco Hal
tan commercial treaty. which has been
sanctioned by the Haitian legislature and
transmitted to Paris for final ratification
The articles Of Haitian produce princi-
pally benefited are coffee and cocoa. I'm
der the old tariff. Haitian coffee paid $50 10
per 100 pounds: under the new 1t will pay
but $26A for the same quantity. French
goods imported into Haiti are exempted
from the 80 per cent and 80 1-3 per cent ad-
dittOnal dues imposed on all other goods
French sailing and steam vessels are ex-
empted from the same dues for the French
merchandise brought by them.
The importation Of French goods into
Haiti has gradually fallen off in the last
decade from 81 100000 to scarcely 1886, 600
last year. This latter figure should pro-
duce $3.50, 900 In revenues to the government.
Thus the reduction of the SO per cent and
1914 per cent additional dues will cause
falling off Of 100000.
On the other hand, however. the applica-
ton of the minimum duty on Haitian coffee
About 100000 pounds Of Haitian coffee is
sold in French markets annually, and the
reduction of 20 francs per 100 pounds gives
S1.544.OOO which Is a little more than the
export dues paid in Haiti on that quantity.
Therefore. the Haitian producers and the
French consumers will be equally benefite ed
by the reduction.

INCONSISTENCIES IN SILVER.
Representative Moody Speaks Of the
Right of the Treasury.

Right Oh the treasury.
A gentleman In this city has received
letter from Representative Moody Of Mas
sachusetts in which he refers to the pos
stbility Of the treasury paying its indebted
ness in silver in the event of the election
of Mr. Bryan. as follows:
1.-The right Of the treasury to pay the in
debtedness Of the government In silver.
whether that indebtedness be for current
transactions or on account of the public
debt. except that part specifically payable
in gold, Is unquestioned
ct Is difficult to conceive that Mr.. Bryan
would not cause this to be done If he were
elected President The standard silver dol
lar Is still legal tender; although it is Of
much less intrinsic value. 1t is held equal to
gold by its limitations in quantity. Its legal
tender. and the policy of practical inter-
changeability. which has hitherto been
maintained.
II should fear very much the results of
the policy of compelling the creditor Of
the government to receive his pay in sill
yer. I should fear the boarding Of gold
and it's Withdrawals from circulation and
expect a loss Of business confidence which
is so necessary for business activity"

EX-GOVERNOR CAMPBELL's OPINION.

Saws Democrats Are Gaining Daily
Throughout the Country.
Ex-Governor Campbell Of Ohio, who 10
i'm Washington today. says that the demo-
Gratis are. making gains every day
1.-The man who today predicts the result
of the election" he said to Star reporter
this morning. discounts the possibility OF
unexpected things happening within the
two months between now and the eiecnoh.
What we can talk about with certainty Is
the conditions at this time. The democrats
are now making steady gains They are
gaining strength every day in New York
I'm Ohio In Indiana-in fact, all over the
country. II the election occurred today
the democratic vote would be larger than
1t would have been yesterday This far, L
think, there has been no day when we were
not stronger than the day before. SUCH a
condition surely promises we'll for success.
ITO what extent" he was asked. are
the gold democrats going to support bry =
an?"
"a very large majority Of them ire going
to support the ticket 49,
.sHoW about the issues Of the campaign"
mo matter what the platform may say,
the paramount issue Is what the people
make it, what they are thinking about. and
what in present condition OF affairs, gives
them most concern. This is the develop
ment of the trusts and the overgroWn
money power. The business people all over
the country and thoughtful people OF all
classes are disturbed by this The trusts
and the Overgrown money power are a
menace to business interests. This eact is
very generally realized by business men.
1t is not the working people and those Of
small means whOOare most concerned.
Business men with one or two or three
hundred thousand dollars are threatened
more than any others. They are IN dang II
of being Destroyer by the trusts and the
centralized money power which is eating
them up. The weaker business interests
are being destroyed right along the line,
and even the little millionaire sees his
turn coming soon They know that the
power exists that can crush them. and they
want to find some escape from 1t. Self
preservation-escape from the hands Of the
trusts and the overgrown money power-is
the paramount issue with them
