may the legislature deliver u"
That Is an apt Characterization OF
the school work that has been done, -
touching teachers. In Des Moines they
hired force OF high school graduates
to pass on the examination papers Of
teachers who had a long experience In
the school room to their credit. The ex-
animation papers tell only part Of the
story Under the old system the county
superintendent came into personal con-
tact with the teachers and knew their
qualifications and capabilities. The new
system has developed characterless
teaching, teachers without the individ-
ual force. The whole scheme Of CEN
tralization is wrong and it will contin-
ue to be wrong. It has as its object the
xlorification of few individuals who
think that they have superior know
ledge. but as matter OF fact 1t is pos
sible to elect even state superintend-
ents who are no bigger than nine
.enths of the humble teachers OF the
state and who have no superior quail
fications for their offices. But it al
ways happens that there are men who
want to build up themselves and to
build up systems which they may
have evolved out OF their own conceits.
We are glad the Davenport teachers
have spoken up. We want more free
expressions Of that kind.

WEEK
FOR DEALERS
Little More Activity in Real
Estate Market.

Real estate took a brace this week
and local promoters are wearing
smiles. Several important transfers
were made and various other items
of business, interesting to real es-
tate dealers, were transacted during
the past few days. Perhaps one of
these is the announcement that c.
P. Convery is the new owner of the
E. W. Barnes property, in High
street. The price paid, although not
disclosed by Fraser Bros, the agents
in the deal, was said to have been
around $4,000.
Adolph Greenbaum came to the
front during the week and purchas-
ed two tracts for investment. He
bought a four story, brick building,
at 451 Mechanic street, which is
occupied by tenants. The other
speculation was in Market street,
near Davidson avenue, and is an
unimproved tract 83x1O0. He will
build two houses there. The Citi-
zens' Real Estate Corporation sold
both of these properties through
Lawyer Leo ~Goldberger.
Koyen and Ostergaard made a
number of private sales this week,
as noted in the transfer book at
| Collector Whites office, in city hall.
Their sales included sites for home
builders and are most desirable in
keeping with the enormous growth
of the city. The MassOpust COrpo-
ration is another concern which has
the same idea and purpose in view.
They continue to dispose of plots in
the Lehigh Terrace tract like hot
cakes and, ten years from now,
many will regret their failure to Sc
cure a big slice of this bargain.
John Hanson is busy running for
sheriff and hasn't much time for
real estate. Thomas F. Burke, of
Burke and Bolger. also aspires to
the same position and this firm is
a loser thereby. A handsome safe

BUILDING FOR
CHESEBROUGH
Several New Structures Soon
be Under Way.

1t is expected that the Turner
Construction Company, New York,
will break ground Monday for the
the ChesebrOugh Manufacturing
Company, to be erected in Grant
street. According to the latest de-
cisiOns of the owners the building
will be constructed of reinforced
concrete and will be two stories high
instead of three as originally plan
ned. The approximate cost is UNI
derstOOd to be $4,000.
The architectural firm of Dayton
& Smith is preparing plans for five
modern residential buildings for the
Railway HOmesteads Company, to be
erected in Woodbridge at an approx
innate cost of $500 each. The ar
chitects also have the contract for
drawing plans and specifications for
ten residential houses to be erect
ed for the same company at SteltOn,
near Metuchen. They will range in
cost from $1,000 to $4,000. A few
of them will be constructed in bun
galOw style and some will be of
brick, some of frame and shingle
construction. Both the buildings to
be erected in Woodbridge and SteI-
ton will be modern in all respects
and will be equipped with most
modern improvements.
Dayton & Smith have completed
plans for a $4,000 brick apartment
house to be erected on the easterly
side of tombstone street, near Ridge
ley, and for a $4,000 frame resi-
dence for Samuel Kyark, to be erect
ed at tombstone and Ridgeley
streets. Both will be modern in all
respects.
Bids for a double two-family
house for Michael Fee, to be erected
in Kearny avenue, will be opened at
9 o'clock tonight. The building will
be erected in accordance with plans
and specifications prepared by Day
ton & Smith. Each apartment will
contain eight rooms. The structure
will be frame.
The carpenter contracting firm of
c. Donehue & Son has contracts
for an extensive addition to the lum-
,er mill of Hazard & Hillman just
forth of the Lehigh Valley coal
yharves and for an addition to the
esidenCe of Alderman L. c. Dalton, J

ue. The latter will be two stories
Ugh and of frame construction.
