Are Still in the Oity and Will be Turned
Over to a Trustee If One is Appointed.
1t is understood that ther will be no
fight. on the part Of John II. Dandy, the
assignee, against the bankruptcy pro-
ceedlng which have been instituted in
the United States Court against II. l..
Evans & Co. and il the firm is adjudicated
a bankrupt and a trustee appointed, the
books now in the possession Of the assignee
viii be turned over TO the trustee. The
matter viii come up in the United States
Court on Monday, the time set for the
return OF the rule issued on the brokers
TO appear and show cause why they should
not be thrown into bankruptcy.
soon after Mr. Dandy, as assignee, took
charge Of the property he heard that bank
ruptcy litigation was about TO be started
and, consequently he has not made very
great Roadway in the matter of straighten-
ing out the affairs Of the firm, although
a preliminary examination Of the books
has been made and attorneys have been
retained IN Wilmington and Philadelphia
to protect the affairs of the concern.
An impression got out that Evans l.
Co books had been removed 10 Phila-
delphia, for the purpose of having them
examined there, but il has been learned
that such is not the case. The books
have been in the Office at Eighth and
Market streets ever since the assignment.
In the United States Court yesterday
afternoon c. /. Ward and David j. Rein
hardt, representing Isaac c. Elliott filed
a petition asking that a receiver In bank
ruptcy be appointed for II. l.. Evans &
Co., to take charge Of the affairs of the
firm. The original petition asked that
the firm be adjudicated a bankrupt, and
should this be favorably acted upon a
meeting of creditors would follow and
the creditors would select trustee.
Should favorable action be taken on Mr.
Elliotts petition a receiver would be
appointed to take charge of the affairs
until a trustee could be selected. Monday
at II O'Clock was fixed as the time for
argument on Mr.. Elliott's petition. Mr..
elliott alleges that he is creditor of
Evans a Co. to the extent Of "a, 500.

ln his report for The past year supt
Maxwell Of the Now York City public
schools makes most interesting com
pauson, from official sources, Of the rc-
suits obtained in the studies Of spelling
and arithmetic today, and those OF sixty
years ago These comparisons 20 far
towards dissipating the claims Of supe-
rionty Of the schools Of the past over
those Of the present in the matter Of
practical results.
The information upon which these com
PARSONS are based was obtained in this
manner Dr. Thomas s. Ballet, formerly
held the position of superintendent Of
schools in Springfield, Mass. In the school
archives Of the city he discovered q volume
Of examination papers in spelling and
arithmetic, written 10y SO pupils of The
Springfield, High School in 1916, together
with the list of the original questions.
Last March he gave these questions to
2f5 pupils in the ninth year Of the elemen-
tary schools, and the results Of the tests
were as follows:
1s46-Per cent Of spelling correct, 4O.e;
arithmetic 204.
l9O6-Per cent Of spelling correct, 51.2i
arithmetic, 65.5.
These results, together with an elabo-
rate analysis Of the examination Of ls46,
and with the questions and data estab-
fishing that the pupils Of that year we're
older and had more hours Of schooling
than the pupils Of 1906 to whom he APP
piled the latest test, were embodied by
Mr.. Riley in an interesting and scholarly
article which was printed in the Spring
field Republican. This article coming
TO the attention Of Frederick s. Mills
principal Of school No 70, Brooklyn
he gave the question to "a girls and 40
boys in the eighth year of the elementary
schools. The arithmetic questions were
as follows;
i. Add together the following numbers:
OO9, 20, l., 3Ol., o., 702., 900O., 1917
and 1 l6.

II is not presumed that the results of
these tests are exceptional. On the con-
trag, il cannot be doubted that similar
results would be obtained by general
tests throughout the country. The reason
able conclusion, therefore, is that modern
methods Of instruction, in spelling and
arithmetic at least, are twice as effective
as those which prevailed sixty years ago.
It seems shameful to shatter so many
fond illusions in respect of the superiority
of the past in certain matters, particularly
those pertaining to education, but facts
and figures are relentless and unsympa-
thetic. Our educational facilities arc
not only grander and far more extensive
than those Of sixty years ago, but far more
effective.
