While this was their first banquet, yet it was de- clared by the 130 present to have been perfect in every detail and , highly enjoyable. The work done by this young mems class is some thing marvellous indeed as already they are the largest class in the state and bid fair to soon become the largest in the south.

Of Universal Concern.

Aside from questions of direct in- terest, MT. Fox maintains that all New England communities are not less deeply concerned in the improvement of water routes throughout the nation. The manufacturer of cotton in a northern city is helped by the deep ening of the Trinity or the Arkansas or the Yazoo, since better conditions on these rivers permit cotton to be moved at a saving of from s1 to s3 a bale. Relief from the present freight congestion, MT. Fox explains, is anotho CT important consideration. In the last 10 years the output of American freight to be carried has increased 110 per cent, while the facilities for trans porting it have increased only 20 per cent, so that the improvement of nat ural routes of transportation by water will not cripple the railroads, but will simply relieve them of their surplus load.

 In Camden, New Jersey a special committee of the board of trade has reported in favor of increaseing sal aries from 25 per cent. down and and the Philadelphia Telegraph states that the board of education of Camden is known to favor the increase and will provide in it's budget for next year for higher pay.
 In Grand Rapids, Mich, population 87,565, the News of April 22 announces that the board of education will pass on increase of salaries to date from the opening of the spring term. The raises there affect all the grade school teach CTS and the minimum for teacher be- ginning work for the first year is rais- ed to $400 from former rate of $35O.
 These examples of what is going on about the country are but some of many instances and showed general willingness on the parts Of school com mittees to acknowledge the demand for increase as just and to meet it as fully as possible the tendency is clearly upward.

Head Of New HOrk Telegraph company
 Expires Suddenly.
 New York, May 19,-Charles Freder- ick Cutler, of Morristown, N. J., presi- dent of the New York Telephone com pany died suddenly from heart disease last night at the saranac Inn, Saranac Lake, N Y. MT. Cutler was born in Ashland, Mass, in 1841, and began his business career at the age of twenty four in South Birmingham, Mass, as a commission merchant. He became interested in the telephone business in South Birmingham and later moved to Brooklyn, where he organized the New York and New Jersey Telephone com pany, of which he was made president. He then came to New York with the Metropolitan Telephone and Telegraph company, afterward the New York Tel ephone company.
 Mir Cutler married, in 1885, Miss Ella s. Poole, of Boston. He leaves, besides his widow. a daughter, Mrs. James B. Curtis, of this city, and one son, Earle N. Cutler, student at St. Paul s school, Concord Mass.

 John F. Clouse, formerly employed at the dining hall was seen by a re- porter and asked concerning the din- ing hall. MT. Clouse did not care to talk further than to state that he had been dismissed by Capt. Smoke without explanation and that while he might have made some plain statements in private he would not repeat them to a reported.Mr. Clouse is steward at the Dwight hall grill room.
 Talk among the students themselves is still rife. One of them in conver- sation with reporter ridiculed the statement as made above by MT Whit ney to the effect that the students com mittee had voted unanimously to raise the price of board, saying that he knew it was not so.
 The students executive committee of the Dining hall has become laughing stock among the students. This is committee composed of one member from each of the eighty or. more tab les at the commons.
 During the first year of Captain Smokes administration the committee met quite frequently, last year less frequently, this year seldom and one student remarked that the committee would probably be abolished next year but that it did not make much diff ference because the committee always voted to do whatever Captain Smoke recommended.
 Among outsiders the general impress sion that the "kicking" is the result of the rise in price Is wrong. It is rather due to the poor quality of food and the fact that many of the articles which were on the free list are not there now. workers at the hall, who are aaid by meal checks which are supposed to equal in amount the average spent at the hall by the boarders, have not been paid the full amount in the 9ast.
 A change was made some time ago, but not until the mana=ement was practically forced to do so.
 An interesting bit of information ob- tained by a reporter is that the assist ant bookkeeper at the hall Is receiving $100 a month with board and room. He pursues studies in the graduate school and is at the office only part of the time. The head bookkeeper, it was learned, received about half the amount paid to the assistant bookkeeper.
 lAn amnlove at the dining hall states that the goods delivered there were never examined. While admitting the poor quality of much of it, it was stat ed that the workers had no means of knowing but that it was just what had been ordered.
 Inquiries for Captain Smoke last night ehcited the information that he was in New York and would not re- turn until to-dsS

INLAND WATERWAY
FROM BOSTON TO GULF
Scope of Plans of National
 Rivers and Harbors Congress.

The agitation of the National Riv- CTS and Harbors congress which is seeking to promote the utilization of
 American waterways Is to be ener- getically pushed during the next few
 weeks in New England. John A. Fox
 special director of the work, is mak-
 ing tour of the principal New Eng land cities, explaining the propagan-
 da and showing in what way it is of
 direct interest to this section. A re- cent report of the committee of archi-
 tects on the architectural require ments. of the Greater Boston called especial attention to the needs of New England in the matter of improved
 waterways. To enforce these and
 similar suggestions is the object of MT. Fox's mission among boards of trade and other organizations of the New England manufacturing cities.
 The organization which MT. Fox rep resents is one of national scope. It
 has in it's directorate four of the members of the rivers and harbors COIlIltlle6 OL COHSI6sSS, Oll6 OL WHOllli the Hon. Joseph E. Ransdell, from Louisiana, is president. The board of twenty three directors takes in all sec tions of the country The association
 was formed for the purpose of arous- ing public opinion to the fact that this country has Jagged behind other coun-
 tries in the development of its water
 ways and that, whereas American rail-
 roads have admittedly been unable to
 keep pace with the progress of com
 merce, we are wilfully neglecting the
 cheapest of all forms of freight dis tribution, one which might properly take some of the burden from the overloaded railroads of the country.
 Part of the undertaking of the rivers and harbors congress is to accustom lpeople to think that 1t is as necessary for congress to spend money on wa terways, which are natural avenues of
 communication between centers of
 population, as upon the army and
 navy, both of which are far less pro- ductive factors in the national life

Projects in New England.

A considerable number of projects have lately been started in New Eng
 land which are in line with what the national rivers and harbors congress is working for. This section will be the natural northerly terminus of the vast system of intercoastal waterways which, upon the completion of the Cape Cod canal and of the proposed canal from Boston to Fall River, via the Taunton river, will give a pro- tected course for freight and pas senger transportation extending from Boston harbor through Long Island sound and thence by canal across to Delaware Bay, to Chesapeake Bay and so on through the sounds of North and South Carolina to the Gulf of Mexico. Such an avenue of communication will be likely to put New England in a position to receive Alabama eoals, whose price is now prohibited on ac- count of the necessarily high railway charges. The Improvement of the Connecticut and Merrimac rivers above the cities of Hartford and Haverhin respectively, so that the other places in those valleys may re- .ceive coal and similar heavy freights from the sea without breaking cargo is another vital proposition, and many minor projects are contemplated.

What Has Been Done.

Under previous appropriations by congress a considerable amount of work has already been done along the New England coast, and in some in stances this has been carried for a distance up the rivers; though nothing has been accomplished that is at all comparable with the magnificent de- velopment of German waterways. The amounts spent on some of the prin cipal projects since the beginning of this work nearly ninety years ago are as follows:
