DOES NOT KNOW WHY
SHE JUMPED IN RIVER
Sister of Miss Edna Hill Says
Latter Had No Reason for
Trying Suicide.

Edna Hill. eighteen years old. jumped
from the Pennsylvania avenue bridge last
night about $50 o'clock in an attempt
to end her life. She went down feet first
and landed in the mud and water Of the
Eastern branch, being found in a stand
ing position by rescuers. The tide was
flooding at the time she made the leap
of more than twenty feet, and had she
not been seen to go overheard the rising
water probably would soon have drowned
her.
Mounted Police Sergt. Stevens Of the
eleventh precinct was standing at the
Twining City end of the bridge when the
girl made the leap from a spot about
halfway across the structure Frank
Sill. who had seen her jump. ran toward
Sergt Stevens and shouted: "A woman
just jumped from the center Of the
bridge.
Looking to the water the police sergeant
noticed George French and James w.
Graham, expert boatmen, returning from
fishing trip. Shouting to them at the
top OF his voice the sergeant asked that
they make an effort to rescue the girl.
telling them to follow the line of the
bridge. while he would run across the
structure.
In about three minutes from the time
the girl made the leap Sergt. Stevens
reached the part Of the bridge directly
over her head. He spoke words Of en-
couragement to the young woman. tell
ing her she would be rescued. French
took her in the boat and rowed her
ashore, the sergeant being at the boat
house when they made a landing.
Offered No Resistance.
Miss Hill offered no resistance when
her rescuers reached her. but at first
objected to giving her name. She refused
to tell why she had attempted to end
her life.
I'm all right" she said, land 1 will
not go to a hospital
William Fletcher, conductor Of the car
on the Randle Highlands line, recalled
having seen Miss Hill several times dur
ing two or three hours preceding the
time she jumped into the river. He saw
her, apparently crying, cross the bridge
several times. and walk as far as Randle
Highlands on the Twining City side. Oc-
protecting the side Of the bridge. stop
long enough to view the water and then
resume her walk. He never thought Of
suicide. he stated. until he learned she
had jumped overheard.
Shortly after Miss Hill reached Casual
ty Hospital In charge Of DR.. A. J. Kean,
accompanied by Sergt. Stevens, her sister
reached her bedside. having been told Of
the occurrence by two boys who had been
fishing from the bridge. The sister de-
clared Edna had no reason for ending her
life She resides at home with her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd Hill. 100 9th
street southeast and is not employed.
At the hospital Miss Hill said she did
not know why she had jumped overheard
She was able to return home this morn

Method of Inquiry.

They do not teach regular classes in the
school to which they are assigned. but
converse with the higher students Of the
school. In the teachers native language
and conduct informal classes. This
teaches the students the language Of the
respective foreign country much better
than ii could be done otherwise, 1t Is
claimed. The teacher also teaches the
| customs Of the country from which he
comes. and in turn learns from the pu-
pills the customs Of the country in which
he is.
In an extraordinary bulletin concerning
the system recently sent to the local
school authorities. Henry S. Pritchett OF
the Carnegie foundation says of the sys-
| tenn: THE significance Of the interchange
OF teachers between countries in Europe
has greatly increased during the last two
years. The immediate end gained by the
| exchange Of teachers Of language is the
vitalfzng OF the instruction in foreign
languages and the corrections OF defects
In the system of instruction in one coun-
try or the other. But the indirect prod
ucts of the exchange are far more impOr-
tant A teacher transplanted for a year
to a school in a foreign country has the
opportunity to improve his whole view Of
educational methods. He returns to his
regular work with increased efficiency
and with freshened ability to teach.
New Points Of View.
by such an exchange students at an
impressionable age learn Of the social
customs and gain the point Of view Of
the people OF the other country, and this
under an arrangement which is stimulat-
ing and interesting in comparison with
formal language study.
THE exchange is therefore one that
| ministers not only to the Improvement Of
| the teaching of modern languages, but to
general educational efficiency, to a broad
er understanding of other countries and
a betterment of International relations.
Prom the point OF view Of the young
| ambitious American teacher. the oppor-
tunity to spend a year in Prussia is at
tractive and should be considered in about
the same way as fellowship in a good
American university. In either case the
| remuneration is slight.
THE American who giles to Prussia for
year will receive from the Prussian
government from 100 to ITO marks a
month. 1t is estimated that this is
equivalent to about $40 to SIS a month in
a small town in the United States, and
that 1t will meet the actual living ex-
penses of the teacher during the year"
Legislation Necessary.
The salary is said to be ono Of the
| most important hindrances to the plan,
as far as this city is concerned. Without
| a special act Of Congress 1t would be
impossible for the board Of education to
pay the teacher a salary unless he took a
regular examination the same as any
other person applying for a position as
| teacher in the local schools. This, say
the school heads. would be a very dis
| courteous act to invite teacher to come
to this city and then force him to take
an examination. With this objection in
view, and many other smaller teohnicali-
ties which would be bound to arise, the
school authorities have felt compelled to
decline the plan, with thanks and re-
gretS.

The interchange plan Is to send a

one-haf to one year. during which time
they are privileged guests of the COM
