AWFUL DEATH
 FOR WORKMAN

Massive Bucket Full of Coal Crashes Away From
 Rigging
Young Victim is Survived by Widow and Two Babes
 Coroner Investigates

Several laborers of the billet mills of the A. T. & S.. Co. in the East End were guiding a massive bucket laden with bituminous coal along a runway near the boiler room. at 8 o'clock this
 morning, when the cable supporting the bucket snapped in twain. ss
 Domenico Valentino. for eight years foreman of the gang of laborers work ing in the coal carrying system of the big plant. was directly under the terror when they saw the impending catastrophe. He looked up. an in- stant before the bucket struck him, and tried to leap to safety He was too late.
 When his fellows dragged him from beneath the wreckaRe and the two tons of coal that had covered him, one ran to the office to call medical as- sistance, others carried him towards the main offices to await the doctors arrival.
 Dr. W. c. Watson who lives a few blocks distant and is the regular phy- sician for the plant, came post haste in his. automobile. Life was extinct only a few times after his comrades had tenderly deposited his coal stain ed and bruised body upon the grass near the office building.
 Medical Examiner Garlick, notified by telephone, gave permission to Louis E Richards. funeral director, to take charge of the body. He. reported the circumstances of the accident as they were related to him. to Coroner sPhe- Ian, who will make zn investigation of the equipment that caused Valen- tino'ss death.

Unless something is done to remedy the conditions on Fairfield avenue there will. be a small revolution in Bridgeport. This Is the thought ex- pressed by those who know the state of this important thoroughfare, from Main street to Park avenue.
 One of the most important main ar- teries of the state, and an important highway of the oity, this part of Fair field avenue has been discarded by two-thirds of the immense traffic that formerly soueht 1t. to the inconven- fence of many teansters, truckers and owners of automobiles.
 A serious injury fs done to the bus mess upon the avenue. since most of the transient trade has disappeared with the disuse of the street.
 Illustrations of the sort of injury that is being inflicted by the neglect. .carlessness, or wprse. of the authori- 'ite1y. M

 It Is understood that the forthcom- ing Blue Book. of the Automobile club of America will withdraw this sec- ton. of the highway from its through routing, which ,.e VII 9ssn g further not only to Fafrfield avsnue, but to all business. since many automobilists seek routes which do not carry them through any part of the business sec tion. sg

 No6ody seems 10 know why the street has been allowed to fall into disrepair, and why it has been allow ed to remain for many months plf-. fall for traffic. The dissension be- company over ten foot centers is not regarded as any adequate reason, or, in fact. as anything but an excuse.
 The city has full power to pave it's portion of the street on both sides of the tracks of the Connecticut com delinquent in making the repairs the city can pave the Connecticut com pany's portion and collect the cost from the company
 Sec. sS37 of the Revised Statutes provides that the city may order the street railway company to repair the pavement between it's rails and two feet on either side, to the satisfaction of the city. The last four lines of the statute provide as follows:
 Upon the failure of such company to make the required repairs within the time fixed by the order, such re- pairs may be made by the municipal a authorities interested, and the ex-

It doesn't always pay to be too rip pingly funny. The other day one of Broadways brightest little comedians began the day with green mouldy grouch By the time he had reached Forty-second street he had quarreled with every one but the subway guard. That individual seemed to be bit irritable himself. The comedian went into John, the barber's.
 Shave, sir?" asked the barber.
 Nav" snarled the comedian. "I never want a shave at this hour in the morning. I came in for little merry chatter"
 Saying which he pumped himself down in the chair and dragged the apron up under his chin He waggled his hand at the lather cup as an indi- cation of his needs. The manicure girl approached him. just as the bar Der was concluding his ministration.

Schools to De hnprooed by Consolidation

The following bulletin issued by Prof. J. L. Bond of the State Depart ment of Education briefly outlines plans for consolidation of rural schools.
 Meaning of Consolidation.
 Consolidation of schools in rural districts is simply plan whereby two or more small, weak, inefficient schools are united into larger ones centrally located and equipped for the best possible work. There are today many agencies at work seeking to improve the social and educational conditions of the people in the rural communities. The basis of all reform of the rural school is the problem of consolidating small schools into larger ones more centrally located. Consolidation does not mean the

1 ed in the new consolidated district. The territory of all districts voting favorable to consolidation is included in said consolidated district
 In Conclusion.
 There can be no doubt of the wis dom and sound judgment of consoli- dation for hundreds of districts in the state. It is practical, common sense way of meeting the conditions existing in a large number of com munities and school districts. In these districts under old conditions, a three or four months school, in charge too often of an underpaid teacher, has been taught more or less indifferently There has been in many of these schools practically no equipment and the school houses in some of these same districts have frequently been the poorest and cheapest buildings that could be found in the districts. These things are true in many instan- ces because very often the districts are small, weak and altogether insuf- ficient in the matter of available rev. enue From an examination of the | County Examiners annual reports for the year ending June 30, 1911, it was found that for the school year cover ed by these reports there were re- ported:
 146 one-room schools in the state l ott of than 10.
 1,S27 one-room schools with a daily attendance of 25 or fewer than 25. 2S53 one-room schools with a daily attendance of 35 or fewer than 35. These statistics within themselves are strong arguments for consolida- tlon where conditions are at all fla yorable and the conditions in large number of these districts are entirely favorable to consolidation.
 Let 1t be well understood that the advocates of consolidation in rural districts always admit the impracti- cability of changing all one-room schools to consolidated schools, but they know that the history or the con- solidation idea in other states clearly proves the economic, educational, so- c1al and moral benefits of this plan which can be adjusted to hundreds, yea thousands, of our weak and iso- lated schools. Certainly any plan that has promise of better school condi- tions for the rural communities of the state should receive hearty SID. port on every hand.
 Directors, teachers or other per sons desiring to know more about consolidation of schools are requested to communicate with the Department of Education, Little Rock, Arkansas, Any further information desired at any time will gladly be given and any possible aid or assistance render ed In efecting consolidation by ad- dressing J. l.. Bond, Professor Ele- mentary Education, Department of Education, Little Rock, Arkansas.
