1 A for what he has done TO further the
vacation school idea.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1901-07-15

Those skeptical persons who were OPP
posed to the establishment OF vacation
school and summer Fairgrounds
in this city, wcIld have had all
doubts and fears dispelled could they
have been present at the opening of the
Charles street school this morning.
Just before o'clock this morning an
eager throng of children appeared accom-
panied by their parents or older brothers
and sisters who were anxious to see that
the little ones gained admittance to the
school, for the prospect was that not all
who came would be accepted.
MI. Augustus f. Rose, the supervisor
of the summer schools was early on
hand. together with his able corps of
assistants and in very short space OF
time the children had been enrolled and
assigned to the several departments OF
work.
The work was largely facilitated be-
cause of the fact that, at the close OF
the school year, Mr.. Rose had sent TO
the principals OF the different schools
of the city tickets which were CLASSIFIED
and given 20 those ct1fureu VINO des1reu
to attend the vacation schools.
As result of this wise provision the
children came, armed with their tickets
this morning. and were at once assigned
to their proper places.
Fully 800 were enrolled at the Charles
street school and 100 disappointed ones
were turned away because of a lack OF
accommodations for them.
The Charles street school has been
graded for children from s to Is years of
age kindergarten department. is main
tanned for those under s.
The school has been divided into d.
nf and
The school opens at $3.50 in the morning
and cntinues until noon and these several
divisions rotate from one room 10 the
other at four different times during the
morning. which is divided into periods OF
20 minutes.
The wisdom OF this plan will be seen,
since Il enables the children 20 get ~
minutes OF each subject taught in the
school besides making an agreeable
change at frequent intervals thus elm
mating the element OF monotony from
each study.
There is TO be no book work OF any
character at the Charles street and other
schools, the aim being to make regular
change from the ordinary school routine
and TO render the work in each depart
ment a pleasure rather than task.
The subjects 10 be pursued are manual
trimming, which will include the teaching
of sIoyd or whiting and wood work as
applied 20 carpentry.
Basketry. a most interesting occupa-
ton, will also be taught as well as draw
ing, clay modelling, nature work, sewing
| and cooking.
The yard Of the Charles street school
presents an insuperable attraction 10 the
small boy and the small girl for there are
great boxes OF the whitest OF sand pro-
| vided for their use. Aside from these
there Is a combination frame, covered
with canvas,-to be used for gymnastics

rection OF Mr.. Paul T.. Rauschenbach

union more mills than ever before. but
insisted on protecting the non-union men

ALL ANXIOUS.
Feeling Of Uncertainty Among
Operators on London Exchange

London, July 15-The stock exchange
today was engaged with the preliminaries
of the settlement. There were marked
and heavy declines in prices and large
movements on the money market.
feeling of anxiety prevailed, especially
on the market for Americans.
The rurnor that bankers would not iend
on American securities is gross ex-
agaeration, but lenders are chary all
round where long periods OF time are
asked for.
Consols have fallen another -, breaking
the low record of recent years
Prices of Americans opened with
general fractional recovery but later oe-
clined. Steel Common railing 4i4 anu
Steel preferred points.
Since the last settlement many Ameri-
cans have fallen from to points and
one or two l6 or Is points. The depres-
sion In steel is chiefly due 10 the report
that the London bankers refused to loan
money on steel stock. The Associated
Press, however, learns that the bankers
have not taken any such organized ac-
ton. In few cases advances were re-
fused on steel. but dhis was owing more
to the fear of the solvency of the appli-
cants than to the value of the stock.
In this connection j. p. Morgan, Jr,
said:
1--WE have had no notification that the
banks were making difficulties, the only
reason which can explain the decline In
steel. is that there are more sellers than
buyers. j do not believe the strike to be
serious, only a few mills are concerned
and the effect cannot possibly be judged
for a few days When these matters
have developed. II the banks should de-
cline 10 lend money on steel we would
be glad TO do so II we have got money
available for such purposes"
