There's looming up before the schools cf

Under the State law, as interpreted, it
seems that every teacher IN the state.

some of these principals, and to a man
they are scholars and gentlemen. declare
most emphatcsllly that they viii not un-

forced their designations are ready, and
they will go 10 other States where neither

tions are hold up as requisites for their
accepting positions compatible with their
ability and experience.
Principals Burdotte and Pontz, Of the
Smyrna High School are away on their
vacation. They have both been reelected
for another term, and whether either or
both Of them viii submit 10 tt As perhaps
"a query But that others and among them

Prof McBee of Clayton. has been re-
elected for another term, but he WI prob
ably not serve tho schools there If this
rule Is enforced. Professor McBee is a
competent man. an able instructor has a
college record back Of him, and the high-
est recommendation from school boards
where he has taught lie has closed his
second year at Clayton with a splendid
record. and hence naturally feels that to
"stand up and be examned' now in order
to hold his certificate TO teach is both
unnecessary and unjust.
other principals in both Kent and sus-

FELL TO EARTH
FIRE ENVEL0PED
Thrilling Experience o
Eugene Raymond in
Midair

BY Our Own Wire. Publishers Press.
NEW YORK, July 15.-Suffering in
tense pain from terrible burns re-
ceived 5000 feet above the earth, when,
shot from a cannon attached to a bal
loon, his clothing caught fire, but glad
even to be alive Eugene Raymond, an
aeronaut, is slowly recovering today
after what almost proved to be a fatal
aerial trip yesterday Clinging to the
trapese of his parachute although his
very fight toward the earth only fan
ned the flames into a fiercer blaze, Ray
mond was able by sheer grit to save
his life 1t is not believed his injuries
win prove fatal. SO high was he in
the air that few of the thousands of
spectators of his ascension from Hill-
side Park. n. J, knew anything had
gone wrong until today The flames
had burned themselves out before the
aeronaut landed.
Touched Wrong Spring.
An error in touching the wrong
spring in the cannon in which Ray
mond made the ascent was responsible
for his awful experience.
Raymond and the parachute were in
side the cannon. which took the place
of a basket attached to the balloon. A
heavy spring was arranged to shoot
him out of the cannon, and as he left
il a second spring would discharge a
load Of powder creating the illusion
that it had actually blown him out of
the cannon
His Clothing on Fire.
Raymond struck the powder spring
first The explosion fred the clothing
about his feet. Fearing the parachute
would catch fire if he shot the other
spring Raymond was forced to endure
the pain until he could in safety set
himself free. For several hundred feet
as he dropped the flames fared up
around his body. Then they burned
out. Enduring awful pain, Raymond

NEW ADDITION
TO CITY HALL
Building Committee Of COun.
Gil Considering the Com
miltee Room Question

An addition to the City Hall is being
considered by the building committee
of Council and the matter will be taken
up on Wednesday evening at the meet
ing of the committee. The idea is to
build an extention to the rear of tho
City Hall from the present Council
chamber and make provisions for two
committee rooms.
1t is proposed to build over the cells
Of the womens department on the Sec
ond floor Of the police station and an
architect is now considering the sub
ject and it is understood that he will
be present at the meeting on Wednes-
day evening.
The continued alterations and re-
pairs being made at the City Hall is
causing the movement for a new City
Hall to gain more favor every day, and
it is possible that this latest move for
an additional expenditure on the old
building will start ont those who advo-
cate a new city Hall on a campaign
to enlist al the taXpavers to push the
cause along.
