LOSS $4,000, 900.

Fort Worth, Texas, April 3.-Fann
ed by stiff wind, a fire, which OF
iginated in barn at Jennings avenue
, and Petersmith street in the southern
portion of this city this afternc on
swept over an area 10 blocks in length
and in width, destroyed property
roughly es timed in value to be in eX
cess OF S., 600. 900 and caused the dea /
of six persons.
The fire, which broke out in a ia sb-
ionable residence district was beyond
all control within Is minutes after il
started and was not checked until
dynamite was resorted to, four hours
later.
The department was unable to cope
with the situation, and assistance Was
rushed from Dallas and Weatherford
on special trains, but, even with these
reinforcements, the spread of the
flames was not checked until they had
eaten their way TO the Texas and
Pacific Railroad reservation on the
east. On the south the fire was check
ed at the Texas and Pacific Railroad
Station, this steel and stone structure
forming a bulwark that saved the
wholesale district of the city, which at
ore time was in imment danger OF de-
struction.
The Texas and Pacific rounchouse
and 20 engines, the repair shops, four
churches, two public school buildings
and Walkers Santiarium were the
public buildings destroyed. The
others were residences, most Of them
new and pretentious, in the most ex-
elusive residence section. So rapidly
did the flames spread that people liv.
ing within a radius of three blocks of
the place or origin had no time To
save anything except the clothing they
wore
a patient whose identity has not
been learned perished in Walker ;
Sanitarium, and three men were cleo
trOcuted and their bodies burned TO
cinders in the Sawyer electric plant.
Herbert Stacy was fatally burned in
an endeavor to save his dwelling and
a fireman fell from housetop and
was killed.
Rev. r. O. Cowar, assistant pas or
of the Broadway Presbyterian Church
is missing. The burnt district is be-
ing patrolled by troops to prevent
looting, and it is estimated that 800
families are homeless. Many OF these
have gone to Dallas, where shelter
has been offered.

THE SOUTH AND EDUCATION.

MR.. EDITOR
Having written an article three week:
ago, which was published in the
HERALD, entitled Education in Vir.
ginia before the War" | ask that thi.
statement of DR.. Eliot's given in the
Sun, be published in your paper as
giving interesting information on the
same subject especially gratifying, as
it is also a fill contradiction of the
| BOysen Essay,-which has caused such
general dissatisfaction and criticism
not only with the Daughters of the
COnfederacy, but through the entire
South. Mrs. JAS. II. WILLIAMS,
Pres. Shen. Chapter.
Sin his speech at the harvard ban
quet in Baltimore the other evening
DR.. Eliot, late president of Harvard
University, spoke of the stream of
young men who went to Harvard from
the South before that section became
impoverished by the Civil War and
was eaten out by the locusts and cank-
erworms of reconstruction. He saw
signs of revival in his recent visit to
the South. "There is still in the
South" DR. Eliot said, San embar-
rassment Of finances for giving young
meG an opportunity for procuring an
expensive education. but this, think,
is rapidly disappearing, and | believe
soon the South will again be sending
her quota of men to Harvard and the
North" 1t had always been a custom
10 the South, until it was interrupted
by the war, to send many boys 10
Northern colleges-not because there
was not an abundance Of good colleges
in the South, but in order, perhaps,
that the boys might get the benefit of
more inyigorating climate and Oppor-
tunt ties for getting new ideas by mix
ing with the people from other States
The Hon. John Prentiss Poe has fav-
ored The Sun with some figures and
statistics that he gathered from the
census of 1860 which are most interest
ing in connection with DR.. Eliot's re-
marks. From these figures it appears
that in 1860 there were three times as
many collegiate institutions in the
Southern States as in the Middle and
New England States combined, about
twice as many students. OF public
schools New England had 1918 the
Middle States, %, 999 the Southern
States, 1920. OF academies and
other schools New England had S78
the Middle States, 1,6SS, the Southern
States 2,445. Virginia had more pub
lie libraries than any other State in
the Union, but not more volumes.
New York had ll5, $50 illiterate whites
over 20 years of age, and Virginia
74,O55.
The exact figures as to colleges and
college students were as follows
