From what we hear. the eonsoli-
dati0n of some of the school districts
IN this county is working hardships
to some of the people. The idea of
forcing small children to tramp
through the snow and rain three
miles in dead of winter is simply
outrageous. 1t amounts to depriving
par of the children Of any school

up with such doings with their

The advantages and disadvantages of
having the graduating examinations Of the
New York city high schools conducted by a
State board instead of by the city sdperin-
tendent, as provided for at the meeting of
the Board Of Education on Wednesday, were
stated yesterday by Mr.. Stevens, chairman
Of the committee On high schools of the
board OF superintendent. The advantages
he said were as follows;
The eli win continue to receive about 500. 600
annually from the state for the purchase
of supplies for its high schools. The State
Board Of Regents threatened 10 withho III
this ii the new method were not adopted.
The city will save the $1,000 per annum
which it was Obliged to pay its own teachers
to mark papers under the old method twice
a year, and the great drain upon the vitality
OF a large number OF teachers incident to
this marking will he avoided.
The city will have a substantial proper
tiOnate representation in this State Examina-
tons Board and will be able 10 influence its
policy and the scope and character Of the
examinations TO he set.
These examinations will be accepted for
admission TO any institution OF superior or
collegiate grades in the state. including the
Normal College and the CITY College. This
will help 10 solve the problem OF the proper
articulation Of the high schools with the two
city colleges.
II these examinations are not satisfactory
the city can at any time reestahlish its own
examination machinery.
Those opposed to the measure are iniu-
enced by the twofollowing considerations:
The fear that the State viii be able to play too
important a part in the direction and control
Of the city schools. This objection is an
swered by the fact that the city's partlcipa-
tiOn in the State system is voluntary and that
4 may withdraw at any time.
The fear that the system Of examinations
which will represent the scholarship of the
smaller upstate high schools will not suf-
tciently test the scholarship which is found
in the city high schools. This objection il
answered by the generally conceded PROPOSE
ton that II would not he an unmixed evil to
make the examination a little less severe and
by the fact that the proposed scheme provides
only that the papers shall be marked by the
readers of the State examinations board
leaving the local authorities TO set the passing
mark to suit themselves. In this way the
city Of New York may require a higher stand

QUAKE WAS PREDICTED
DR.. Becker Said 1t Would Follow San
Francisco Disaster.

The Valparaiso earthquake was pre-
dicted in the Tribune. April 10. by
DR.. G.. F. Becker, of the Geological
Survey who hen declared that the
San Francisco earthquake would be
followed by similar disturbances In
Valparaiso, because the two places are
on the same line Of uplif- Of the earth's
| surface, and would be affected by the
same fault" movement This pre-
diction Is considered by scientists here
TO have been fulfilled IN a remarkable
manner by today's reports from Chill.
Dr.. Becker, commenting on the
causes OF the San Francisco distur-
bance in an interview with the Tri
bune correspondent at that time, said
the California shake was caused by a
shifting in the earth's crust, an acute
development in the process OF earth
building, and that this geological
formation was characteristic Of a Eelt
which extended around the rim OF the
Pacific from Singapore. Japan, the
| Aleutian Islands, the coast Of Alaska,
California and South America 10 VAL
| paraiso-the earthquake belt of tha
| world. DR.. Becker said such a sever
| upheavel on this earthquake belt as C
Cured in San Francisco on April 18th
was sure to be followed by eventual
sympathetic movements elsewhere. The
lire of uplift in the eaTth's surface tx
tending from Singapore 10 Valparaiso,
he said. was subject 10 cons. ant
changes in elevation, due to changing
! conditions inside the earth, and when
ever these changes or faults" occur

a study of the San Francisco earth
| quake and its effect on the Topography
of the country have shown cOnclu-
siveIv that the tremor was the result
of an unusually severe fault" The
INVESTIGATORS have been able TO dis

| occurred. According to their report
it extends from the mouth Of Alder
Creek, near Pint Arena, in California,
to Cape MendocinO, a distance OF three

Their observations have been possible
nus far, but the theory is held by
some of the scientists here that the
rift where the earthquake movement
Of April 18th occurred with such sew
Gritty continues down the coast TO
South America. In this way It would
be possible for the changes in eleva-
ton at one point in the earth's surface
to affect another portion for a tie
