Spandau was occupied by the Swedish
troops for many months during the
thirty years war, and Gustavus Adolf
plus made it his headquarters. In 1851
lie came very near being blown up there,
for the Julius Thurm was struck by
lightning at time when it contained
several hundred weight of powder. For
tunately for him and those who were
with him, the electric fluid did not reach
the ammunition chest.
In 1907. when the Austrians marched
on Berlin. the Queen of Prussia with
her children took refuge in the tower, and
were concealed there for several weeks.
During the Napoleonic wars the citadel
was surrendered to the French without
firing one shot. The commander and his
men were released on parole. He was
promptly condemned to death by a court
martial, but the sentence was mitigated
to Imprisonment for life.

Spandau was one of the first and one
Of the strongest fortified places In Ger
many, although the old citadel was con-
demned as useless and ordered removed
in 1893, because it could not withstand
modern artillery and would only furnish
a target for the guns of the enemy IN
case the city was ever invested. Military
engineers, for that reason, considered 1t a
weakness and tore it down.
Albrecht. the Bear, founded Spandau
in the year 1160 and built Notifications
in the marshes surrounding it to resist
the encroachments of the Wends, an ag-
gressive tribe Of barbarians. The citadel
was begun in 1919: it was enlarged and
strengthened in 1926 and thoroughly re-
paired in 1880. All that remains of 1t
now, however, is the Julius Thurm, the
tower in which the gold is kept. The
first reference to Spandau in history is
in 1917, when it was granted by Margraf
Ludwig c'the Roman'D to Fritzel. his
Jewish minister of finance, or steward, as

In this speech and on other occasions
Bismarck limited that the existence OF
the reichskriegschatz had prevented
trouble with one of the Kingdoms that
composed the German empire. Bavaria
was at once suggested.
Spandau is a busy town, situated at
the confluence of the Spree and Havel
rivers, and every one of it's $4,000 in
habitants is dependent directly or in
directly upon the arsenalS. machine
shops, gun factories and other military
institutions in the place. Very little
else but munitions of war is manufac-
tured there. There is a great deal of
interest to see. but very few people are
allowed to see it. No one except those
employed there are permitted to enter
the workshops, the citadel or the forti-
fications without a pass from the head
quarters of the army. and such favors
are seldom granted, especially to for
eigners.
Spandau is one of thirty-nine fortified
cities in Germany, and with Magdeburg,
Torgau and Austrian constitutes the de-
lenses of Berlin. The other fortified
cities are divided into nine festungs,
or fortified districts, each having two or
three fortified places with fields for
camps, maneuvers and other military pur-
poses and they have been chosen espe-
cially for their strategic location and
transportation facilities. AL Of these

The School Investigation.

Because of numerous complaints in
the State about the business manage
ment a legislative investigation has
been held the past yeSr. On Tuesday
the special committee submitted its re.
BORT to the Senate. Senator Freling-
huysen announced that bills covering
the committees recommendation would
follow.
Upoi is resolution the Senate order
ed thai 10000 copies of the report he
printed for public distribution. He
also offered a resolution directing that
a copy of all testimony, correspond
eace, etc., be filed with the Superin'
tendent of Public instruction for pub
lie inspection which was adopted.
The report contains twenty nine dis
tinct recommendations. They provide
for the abolition of the State Board of
Education and the substitution there
for of a State School Commissioner,
with all the powers Ct that board as
well as additional power and with the
right to appoint assistants to have
charge Of various branches of school
work and supervision.
1t is recommended that the commits
sioner be appointed by the Governor for
a term Of five years and that, if neces-
saly, the Governor be permitted to 30
outside the State in selecting a CON
missioner.
An amendment to the Constitution is
recommended to permit women TO vote
at school elections.
1t is also recommended that local
school boards. be reduced to a member
ship Of seven in cities and five in other
municipalities.
The other recommendations includes
general supervision of schools by the
State Commissioner and his assistants;
that they control the subjects 10 be
taught ..as well as the building and
maintenance of school buildings; that
school classes he limited to fOrly-ive;
that school classes be inaugurated for
detectives; that manual training be in
troduced in the lower grades; that no
one connected with schools be permitted
to make campaign distributions; that
the salaries of county superintendent
be increased to $1,000; that the school
authorities have control over all chill.
diem of school age, and be the only ones
to issue permits for children to 60 to
work.
The report also deals exhaustively
with school finances. 1t recommeds
that no school bonds be sold at
private sale unless first offered to the
school fund, except that the trustees of
the school fund be required to make
their purchase Of the bonds as the result
Of advertising for bids.
Many of the school buildings were
found unfit for occupancy, and an ex-
animation IS recommended. Great at.
tention is paid TO the collection and
distribution of the railroad tax, and the
committee says that there should be no
distinction among the taxpayers of the
State. The report continues: "Even
should no change be made in the tax
law, the State should distribute on
September ! Of each year such part of
the railroad tax then on hand as has
been allotted to the schools, and on or
about October 81 the balance of each
allotment collected to that date. If
the entire tax has not been paid by Oc-
tober 81, the part remaining unpaid
should de distributed when collected. 81
