Power Boat to Resume Service Be
tween CITY and Steel Plant.

Having had her hull covered with gall
vaniZed iron as a protection against the
cutting power of ice and having had her
machinery overhauled, the power boat
Adelaide Capt. Harry Randall. was yes
terday put overheard from Benefits ma
rine railway. She will resume service
between this city and the steel plant,
carrying the mechanics employed there
and residing here to and from their work.
1t is the intention Of Capt. Randall to
keep the Adelaide in service through
out the winter if possible.
The tug Martin Dallman Of the Miller
fleet. which has been lying out of serv-
ice at the wharf Of her owners on the
Eastern branch for several weeks, will
be brought to Benefits today and will
be hauled out there. The Dallman is to
be fitted with new engine and while
this work is in progress the hull Of the
tug will be overhauled and put in good
condition. She will be ready to return
to service in about three weeks if the
river remains open.
Weber & Thomas have been awarded
the contract for the rebuilding of the
boiler of the tug Powhatan of the Poto-
mac Sand and Gravel Company fleet, and

BARGE TO CARRY r. r. TIES.
Cargo of 10000 to Be Conveyed to
New York.

The barge Clara Brooks has arrived at
the Alexandria shipyard to receive the
last cargo of railroad ties to be shipped
from the Potomac to New York this sea-
son. 1t had been intended to partially
load the barge in Occoquan creek, but as
one of the cold snaps in the early part
of the past week covered that waterway
with an inch Of ice it was concluded not
to risk q further freeze and the barge
was brought to Alexandria. The work Of
placing the cargo Of about 10000 ties the
vessel will take away will be commenced
as soon as she is locked and will be
pushed rapidly, in order to get the vessel
loaded and away before ice makes heavy
enough to keep her. here.
The. Brooks loaded ties at Alexandria
in the latter part Of lase month and
about three weeks ago left for New York.
A hurried trip was made so that the yes
sci could get back to the Potomac. loaded
again and away before the closing of
navigation on the river by ice.
1t is understood the Brooks will be one
of the first vessels to load ties on the
Potomac in the spring.

age.
No matter among what class what
nationality of women the investigation
leads, the uniform lesson 1t teaches Is
that urban conditions tend To restrict the
size of families. They affect the woman
of native parentage most of all. then the
women of native birth. but immigrant
parentage and least of all the immigrant
woman herself.
Not only do city conditions tend to cut
down the size of the average family. but
they tend to produce large number OF
childless marriages. For instance. in
Rhode Island one married woman out OF
every six who has been married more
than ten years and whose parents are
native born. has had no children. In
Cleveland the ratio is about one out OF
seven. and I'm Minneapolis 1t is about one
out OF eight. On the other hand, the
women of native parentage In the rural
districts of Ohio and Minnesota show only
one marriage out Of twenty without chill
dren.

cells her daughters and the daughters OF

Minneapolis one in sixteen, and I'm the
rural districts ii is about one I'm twenty
And here again the daughters OF the inns
migrant women fall between their moths
ers and the women of native American
parentage.
It is also interesting to note how mucn
less is the average difference OF the ages
of the children of immigrant parentage
than of native American stock. The ma
tive American woman Of native parenta&e
has had a child for every five years ano
four months Of her married life, while the
immigrant woman has had one ior ever
three years she has been married. here
again the native-parentage, city-livins
wife shows the greatest tendency to race
suicide while her country-living sister,
though not receiving as frequent visits
from the stork as the immigrant woman
and her daughter. does have more chii-
dren than her sister in the city.
A careful study of the figures presented
by the immigration commission. taken In
conjunction with the statistics or birth
and death rates available In the United
States, indicates that IL America were
dependent for her future population upon
the American woman who lives in the city
and whose parents are native born there
would be a decline i'm population from
decade to decade. 1t also indicates that IL
immigration should cease ana the bfrtn
rate of all American women OF native
parentage should be continued We would
lust little more than hold our own In
population. On the other hand, with the
large number of immigrant women COM
ing to America and the Partially OF the
stork for their homes and the homes OF
their daughters, IL seems certain that the
country will continue to expand In popu-
lation from decade to decade.

Families of Children
Smaller Than Mother s.

women themselves average Al chill
dren, their daughters who have been
married the same length Of time average
ONLY SO children. The tendency OF the
daughters Of immigrant women toward
smaller families applies to every ma
tionality. While among none of the ma
tionalities investigated did the daughters
of immigrant women have as many chill
dren as the mother, on the other hand.
in not a single nationality did the average
number Of children among women of i'm
migrant parentage fall as low as that OF
women of native parentage. Usually the
family of the immigrant woman's daugh-
ter was a medium between the big family
of the immigrant woman and the small
one Of the woman of native parentage.
These figures are all based upon women
who are less than forty-five years old
and who have been married from ten to
nineteen years. No matter whether the
figures are taken from populous Rhode
Island, from rural Minnesota. rural Ohio.
Cleveland or Minneapolis, they all show
the same relative tendencies Of large
families among the women OF foreign
birth. medium families among women
who are the daughters of immigrants and
smaller families among women Of native
parentage. The average city-living daugh-
ter of an immigrant woman has about
the same-sized family as the average

Is Morse Getting Well?

A photograph of Charles w.

upon the deck Of a Mediterranean
steamer is going the rounds of
the press with an underline" to
the effect that the former con-
Wet is rapidly recovering from
an illness he contracted during
his term in the penitentiary at
Atlanta.
1t is not possible to tell from a
photograph whether Mr.. Morse
is actually recovering. If he is
getting we'll he will have to live
somewhere beyond the boundari-
es of his own country in order to
enjoy his return to health. In
this country he would be contin-
ually branded, and bounded, as
a faker who whined his way out
of it when convicted of crime.
His lot would not be an enviable
one. There are, however, many
places in Europe where an Am
erican with money to spend can
be as carefree about the past as
an fastener used to be in the
lawless West in its palmy days.
At Nice, Mentone, Monte Carlo,
Ostend or Naples Mr.. Morse in
health and wealth could have a
pretty good time. The joke
would be upon President Taft,
who freed him.

Probably some of your readers
and especially the teachers Of
Adair, would be pleased to have
something on the public school
system of this State. In many
respects the method of conduct
ing the public schools here and
in Kentucky are similar. An
APPLICANT to teach must pass a
written examination in spelling,
reading, writing, arithmetic,
grammer, composition, geogra-
ply, civil government, physiology
agriculture land also civics, his
tory and common school law
pertaining especially to the State
of Georgia. and to make a first
grade license Certificate the ap
plicant must make a general
average grade of at least 90 per
cent. and this grade determines
the amount paid by the
State per month to the
teachers. The salary paid
by the State is usually supple
mented by the patrons of the
respective districts in proportion
to the total number of days they
patronize the school. The great
est obstacles in the way of the
progress of the schools are nom
attendance, irregular attendance
and occasionally want Of suffi-
cient text books, pretty much
the same as in our Kentucky
schools. People must learn that
in order to get good results from
the public schools, they must pat
ronize them fully and regularly,
and encourage their children in
their studies.
AS long as a large proposition
of the children in our public
schools fail to attend any at all,
and those who do attend are ir-
regular in their daily attendance,
we never can hope to see any
thing like proper grading done,
and satisfactory progress made
in the different branches OF
study. 1t seems in some in
stances that a compulsory educa.
tional law we'll enforced would be
beneficial in securing better at.
