COX PLANS REFORMS
IN SCHOOL BUSINESS

Charging that Washington is without
adequate provision for the care OF
school supplies and without any pro-
vision AT all for delivering them to the
various schools, and declaring that no
clerical assistance is provided either
the president of the Board of Educa-
ton or it's members, President W. V.
Cox. Of the board. today made public
some Of the reforms he will try to ef-
feet in the business conduct of the
Washington school system.
More money is spent in hiring vans
to transport school supplies to all
parts Of this city from our poor. lone
warehouse on G. street than it would
cost TO maintain an electric delivery
system" declared Mr.. Cox.
when members Of the board must
go TO outlying sections of the city to
inspect a new school or 2 prospective
site, Congress apparently expects them
to walk
'Te only provision it makes is for
buying food for the horse that Super
intendent Of Schools Stuart does not
keep
That the members Of the board who
give their time to the welfare of the
schools are not provided with proper
assistance in the shape Of clerks and
stenographers another complaint
President Cox win place before the
Com rnissioners.
"The position IN which this board.
which has the supervision of a depart
ment of public activity that covers the
District of Columbia, finds itself would
be ridiculous If II were not serious"
Mr. COX said.
II am anxious first of all to arrange
some modern method of handling our
school supplies At present we are
paying much more than an electric van
would cost for this purpose, and the
wor kof the schools is being delayed by
poor service.
My suggestion viii be that such
van be purchased and that it be made
in such manner that il can be con-
verted into an affair with seats so that
members OF the board may be trans
ported to places where school duties
call them

Wallace attended lodge meeting last

tackled his wife. The ten-year-Oid son,
Cline, Who was in a bed nearby, sprang
to his feet and the father fired three
shots at him, one passing through his
heart
FELTON,, aged twelve, hearing the firing
rushed to the room and a bullet sent
him reeIing to the floor, mortally wound
ed. The father then sought the other
six children, but they had fed. Find
ing no more victims at hand, Wallace
then shot himself through the head.

Washington schools face a serious
pFedlcament because they are unable to
obtain men teachers.
Poor pay is making the system an ex-
perlenee school for men educators until
they can land positions elsewhere.
Ihese statements were made TODAY by
Harry English. chairman Of the ex-
aiming board for teachers In the pub
lie schools. who has just returned from
trip to New York.
A principal object Of the New York
visit authorized by the Board OF Educa-
rion was 70 investigate the schools there
regarding men teachers.
Half a dozen OF the brightest men ia
the teaching force Of the New York
nigh schools are former teachers in
Washington. who were compelled 20
leave here because Of poor pay" Mr..
Ell lgl,sh said:
Il found four men in the Brooklyn
schools who are graduates Of our train
ing school for teachers here. The ma
jority prefer 20 teach In Washington.
and we might get them back If we could
pay them within 33O0 Of what they are
getting in New York
Mr. English said he found that
Gotham also reported a shortage Of men
teachers. even with the higher salaries
paid there.
If New York can't get men teachers
with the salaries they pay" he said
I see a serious situation confronting US
IN Washington with a maximum salary
limit at the start of s, 800. We have
obtained only two new men teachers in
the schools here in two years, and our
best men are leaving month by month.
I have nothing but the highest re-
gard for women teachers, hut no one
viii deny that there are a GER ain num-
Der of executive positions in our high
schools which demand male teachers.
Under present conditions I sea no way
Of fitting these positions as they be-
come vacant. We can't get competent
educators at a clerical salary"
As a result OF the visit TO New York
Mr.. English will revise the examinations
given to applicants for teaching posi-
tiOns in Washington schools.

By JOHN SNURE.

NEW YORK, Nov. From one OF the
ig upstate counties in New York to-
ay authentic information came of the
esUlts of tests which show a heay fall
1g of IN the Republican vote.
This county contains large city and
number of country districts. The test
'oting showed that Stimson had but
, per cent of the strength Of Governor
hughes IN the last election. It is al
nost needless to say that if this be a
Orrect index of the situation, Stimson
beaten.
The tests il this case were made by
ending a man out in each ward and
ountry district and finding out how
1irty men regard ess of party voted
Wo years ago and how they viii vote
his year, andTwhat is their politics.
imilar tests made two years ago in a
Umber Of counties resulted in showing
he vote of Mr.. Taft in this State to
within ZOO The tests, therefore, must
e given a considerable measure of ere
lence as a reliable index.
Deep Undercurrent.
1t is of interest. however, that in one
Of the wards 200 men had TO be an
preached before thirty could be found
who would say how they would vote
This points to a deep Undercurrent this
year, which cannot be fathorled.
In the county tested. too, the anti
Roosevelt feeling is strong. At the same
ime it was found that German textile
workers and other working men who
voted the last election for the Rep1Ib-
licans would in many cases not vote
for Stimson. The German vote declined
heavier than the Irish or the Jewish.
The tests also showed the Republican
candidate for State senator would be
showed under.
Leaders Encouraged.
Republican leaders today profess to be
vastly encouraged by the series of
Roosevelt meetings here last night
They declare the effect VIII be to roll
I'D large Republican vote in Manbat-
tan, cut down Tammany's majority in
Greater New York, and enable Stfmson.
Republican nominee for governor. to
pun through.
II cannot be denied that Roosevelt. in
his sweep across Manhattan got the
voters out to hear him and Stirnson.
They were out in great force, were en-
thusiastic for Roosevelt and fairly so
for StimsOn, and were, apparently in
terested in what the colonel said when
he belabOred Dix and Tammanv and
talked about driving the crooks out OF
public life.
No Way to Count Votes.
II is true, many were present from
curiosity, ard by no means all who
went are going to vote the Republican
ticket There is no way Of telling how
many votes Roosevelt made for the
ticket, but the Republican managers
think it did them much good
II is pretty generally conceded here
that Roosevelt's efforts are going TO
get StimsOn a lot Of votes among the
motley population of the East Side.
