installed. Ii is the opinion of the |
Board that Concord has been given |
one OF the strongest teaching forces
in the state.
Preparation for College and Teaching
The four new courses OF study
which are offered provide for full
college preparation. Students having
taken a complete course at Concord

years credit at the State Univer-
sity

tages to students expecting to become
teachers. Miss Davenport is a grad
uate of Teachers College. OF New
York City. and has had an unusu-
ally wide experience in the training
OF teachers. Miss Rowland. the head
model teacher. comes to Concord
from Fairmont Normal where her
work in the model department has at
tracted unusual attention among
school men. Special classes in pho
netic systems OF teaching reading. in
basketry, clay modelling and draw
ing.
Dormitory on New Basis.
The dormitory has been improved
in many respects and established up
on a new basis.

ability and worth. has been put in
charge Of the dormitory as precep-
tress 1t is her duty TO keep I'm close
touch with the girls. look after their
physical welfare and provide for
social life i'm the dormitory.
By this means high order of
social culture will be open TO young
ladies' making their home in the dor
mitory.
Commercial Courses.
Few young men leave school and
| go out into business life without
feeling the need of some knowledge
Of type-writing, bookkeeping and
5tenography. To meet these needs,
courses In the above subjects and in
penmanship are offered under the
instruction of Mr.. Little.
Physical Training and Athletics.
No school does juctice TO the
young men and women in it's charge
unless ii makes provision for phys
zeal training. Mr.. Shaw who form
erly had charge of this work in the
Fairmont Normal. will have physic-
al training among the boys. Miss
Hughes, a graduate of Wellesley Col
lege, will lhave this work among the

ARMY OF LAWMAKERS.
More than 5000 of Them equire
to Frame Our Statutes.

10 fThhhe our
There are $3.50 lawmakers in the
United States, counting both State and
federal legislators and those who are en-
gagged in the framing of laws for Ea-
wall and Porto Rico. These lawmakers
cost a lot of money. In New York the
members of the Assembly and Senators
used to get SO a day each, with the idea
tha the session would last on an average
of 100 days. d"
This limit was overrun so often, how
ever, that q change was made some yeas
ago, the aymen of zach session being
fixed at $500 for each of the 2OO SEN
ators and Assemblymen, or just 100000
a year in salaries for the lawmakers them
selves. These salaries, of course, are only
a beginning in the annual cost of the
law7naking mill there are Legislative en-
ployes of many sorts and grades; all
nave to be paid, and the grand total would
be a fortune every year for anybody with
notions of wealth below the multi-mill-
ionaire level.
In most other States the pay is by the
day, ranging from So in Kansas and some
other States to So in Florida. Penpsyl-
vania pays $1,000 a session, like New
York Massachusetts,, $3.50; Illinois, ST.
600; New Jersey, $500: Wisconsin, $500
mississippi, $500; Ohio, 5000: Iowa.
$3.50; Washington, $500, and Maine,
$3.50.
Such investigating committees as the
insurance committee, whose report is now
up in the New York Legislature, are a
fruitful source of cost, and years when
such Investigations are made the aw-
making expense is increased in New York
by man. thousands of dollars.

Morgan Quizzes Cromwell.

The appearance of William Nelson
Cromwell, the New York lawyer who has
been prominent in the affairs of the
Panama republic and the Panama canal,
before the Senate committee on inter.
oceanic canals, gave Senator Morgan OF
Alabama the opportunity he had been
looking for and he did not neglect it. Mr..
Cromwell began by explaining his con.
nection with the French canal company
and with the American enterprise. He
said his firm had been counsel for the
Panama railroad for twelve years. He
denied that any part of the 100000
purchase money for the French rights had
gone to his firm. Since 1904 he had serv-
ed Us legal adviser for the republic of
Panama. At one time Senator Morgan
said he would attend to Cromwell on the
floor of the Senate. Mr.. Cromwell adj
mittel that he had received about $780,
900 from the new Panama company.
Whea asked what service he had render
ed he said that professional secrets were
involved in the question and that hiscli
ents were satisfied.

Bill to Incorporate . Company IL
Presented in Congress-.
The bill to incorporate the Lake Erie
and Ohio River Ship Canal Company was
taken up by the House by the vote of 1S0
to 81. Chairman Davidson (Repubii-
CAM of Wisconsin of the committee on
railways and annals said this would be
the last link. in the chain of waterways
from New York 70 New Orleans, over
which the of twenty-four States
could go, and, 'as canals everywhere
have proved to be, would be a regulator
OF railway rates." Leader Williams of
the minority said he suspected that the
franchise had already been turned over
ito the Pennsylvania railroad or some
other railroad interest at Pittsburg. His
objection to the bill was that the govern
'ment surrendered it's power over a river
and harbor improvement to a private cor
poraticn. Mr.. Dalzell (Republican) OF
Pennsylvania, who is the author of the
bill, declared it to be a great national
project, the construction of which would
not cost the government a penny. He
said that the idea of connecting the lakes
and the Ohio had been advocated as far
back as 1924, when the government made
the first surveys.
