A New Feature.

A new feature in the upper grades
is the installation Of departmental
work. This means that the grades
from vi B to VIII B will be conducted
upon the same plan as the high school.
The classes will go to different teach
ers for different subjects instead Of
reciting all subjects to one teacher.
This enables each teacher to give the
pupils her very best effort in the sub
jects in which she Is specialist. 1t
also allows pupils to have the atten-
tion of the teachers while they are
studying for one room Is always In
use as a study room and the teacher
in charge there has nothing to do
with the exception of one or two Pc
RODS, but assist the pupils in prepar'
ing their lessons.

The Teachers Are ASHAMED.

The assignment of teachers and
grades for the school year 1909-1910
follows as closely as possible the as
signment for former years. A very
large or a very small division here
and there makes some changes neces-
sary, however. These changes have
been made with the best interest of
the greatest number Of pupils In view.
1t is impossible to make any assign
ment which would not inconvenience
at least some few pupils, and it is
thought the smallest number possible
is thus Inconvenience by the present
assignments.

THE FIGHT AGAINST tDNSI MP
TIuN ALL OVER THE WORLD.

According t" a report issued re-
emily by the Local Government
Board of London, the number of
Il aths from tuberculosis in England
and Scotland has decreased by one
third in the last 80 years, falling
from - ,9l% in 1893 to -, Is during
the past year, while the death rate
PER 10000 of population has fallen
more than onr-half, or from 2J,S TO
1l.5. In Ireland, ON the contrary,
the death rate per 10000 has inrrcas-
ed in 10 years from - to y. DR..
Arthur Ncwsholmc attributes the de-
crease in the mortality from con-
sumption in England to effective
segregation and institutional treat
mpnt of the advanced cases of the
disease, which are known to be the
ntrrs Of infection and spread of tu-
b rculosis. The Irish medical au-
.oritics attribute the increase in the
a mount of tuberculosis to conbina-
ton of poor housing, insufficient and
unnourishing food, bad sanitation,
especially in the schools, and the
la &c Irish emigration.

MIR. HINkLEN AND W. VI. K. K.

Judge Morris, Saturday last, in t. c
United States District Court signed
an order appointing special master III
bankruptcy John llinklcy to examine
and take evidence in connection with
the rccrivrrship Of the Western Mary
land Railroad Company. 1t Is gen
orally believed that the courts action
is preliminary step to a rcorganlza
ton of the railroad.
The order was signed at the re-
quest of the Bowling Green Trust
Company, Of New York. After the
evidence shall have been submitted
it is expected the court will sign a
decree ordering the sale of the road
in foreclosure proceedings, but it is
not absolutely certain as yet that the
road will he sold. The proceedings
are precisely similar to those taken
in the case of the reccivcrship of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
which led to reorganization.
