In 1919 DR.. Elmer E. Brown became
commissioner OF education. Up to that
time the work Of collect
Expanding ing and distributing in
A. w.t. formation was accom-
'no OAn' plished by correspondence
Two new bureaus were established under
his administration. with a field force of
specialists. The work of standardizing
higher educational Institutions. begun
under DR.. Brown. Is being continued by
the specialist in higher education. There
Is great diversity In this country In the
quantity and quality Of work demanded
for degrees by the educational institu-
lions in the various states and urgent
need for proper classification. This is
being made by the specialist in higher
education. by personal inspection and ex-
animation of the records Of graduates
who have gone to other institutions for
advanced study. Although the work re-
quires great tact and Judgment, 1t IL
years an accurate and satisfactory CLASH
f1cation of institutions will be made.
DR.. p. p. Claxton became the present
commissioner of education in 1911 Fol-
lowing In the footsteps of his various
predecessors, DR.. Claxton Is going even
further, for he is endeavoring to bring
the bureau into more direct relations with
the actual workers in the field Of educa-
ton. This Is being accomplished by secur-
ing special collaborators," persons act
lively engaged in school affairs. Two new
divisions have also been established, the
division of rural education and the divi-
sion Of school sanitation.
In the first enactment Congress pro-
vided for a commissioner Of education
and three clerks. the total salaries
amounting to less than $4,000 Today the
staff Of the bureau consists OF seventy
one persons including eleven special col
laborators, while the appropriation for
the fiscal year ending June 80. 1912. was
$281 800, Of which amount $20O.OO0 was ap-
propriated for education Of the natives of
Alaska.
Most interesting Of all the work done by
the bureau Is that Of educating the chill
dren Of Alaska, that bureau being In
charge Of William T. Lopp. During the
fiscal year just closed the field force
Of the Alaska school service con-
sisted Of superintendent. 40 teachers.
Z physicians. nurses, 2 contract physi-
clans and hospital attendants. At the
S6 public schools maintained an enroll
ment of 4,O1S was recorded. with an aver
age attendance OF 1,SO5. The bare figures
show the scope of the work being done.
In speaking Of conditions there DR.. Clax-
ton said:

Work OF secondary schools, CONNER
r... cial schools, schools for the
'A'AVA" colored race. reform schools
institutions for the deaf. dumb, blind and
feeble-minded, and libraries The edito-
rial division, with James G. Boykin as
chief. has charge Of the preparation Of all
manuscripts. indexing of publications, the
preparation and issuance of circulars. and
also the collection and preparation of ma
terial relating to education in foreign
countries. The division Of correspondence
and records, under Lovick Pierce. has
charge of the mails and files, and the dis
tribution of publications, while the IL
brary division. in charge Of John D. VOL
colt, has charge of the library. containing
approximately $4,000 volumes and PAM
phlets on education. This divisi also
prepares and furnishes to investigators
numerous bibliographies on various phases
Of education.
The volume of work passing through
these various divisions in single year
is enormous. The statistical division,
for example, in one year collected, tabu-
lated and summarized statistics relative
to 10, pa public high schools, 1873 private
high schools AT summer schools. 1853
manual and technical training schools;
GOO commercial schools, 3SS co,ored
schools. 115 state reformatories. 50 in
situations for the blind. 100 institutions
for the deaf and As institutions for the
feeb,e-minded, or total of 14.3SA In
addition, a special tabulation was made
regarding 10.O6S public high schools, for
which purpose 1t was necessary to send
out 1881 schedules in separately adj
dressed envelopes. A special inquiry con-
corning the teaching of agriculture was
sent to 1887 high schools, as we'll as a
special request to 1900 pubic and pri-
vate high schools to obtain lists of teach
ers and pupils. Another example is the
correspondence division, which, in a sim
gle year. handled 1858 incoming letters
and distributed 197, $50 copies of the pub
locations of the bureau.
Aside from the annual report, which
forms part Of the printed matter got
ten out by every government office, the
bureau of education usually issues bull
letins irregularly, only as the need arises.
One publication, however, forms an I'M
portant part of the bureaus work. This
is the Monthly Record of Current Edu-
cational Publications. and is prepared
by the library division. Varying accord
ing to the amount Of material published,
this little work lists every book, pam
ph1et, publication Of associations. and
separate articles dealing with education.
together with notes. In this way edu-
Gators at glance can see just what is
being published in their line, a fact
which has made this particular work one
Of the most popular and important OF
any printed by the United States gov
eminent.

The realization of what he had done

5oYs LIFE CRUSHED
OUT BY COAL WAGON
mes Kirk, :. Years old, Meets Fatal
Accident While at Play.

Accident While at Play.
Salt Lake City, May 22.-James
Kirk, the year old son of II. Kirk,
62 Chicago avenue, was crushed to
death beneath Bamberger coal wa
gon driven by Il. A. Baker of 10
Mcdonald court yesterday afternoon
at $3.50 o'clock.
The accident occurred near the
boys home. Baker was unloading
refuse from the Walker building into
a vacant lot near the Kirk residence.
The little boy was playing near the
wagon, unseen by Baker.
Baker says the first he knew OF
the accident was when he prepared to
drive away and saw the boy lying be-
meath a rear wheel. The neck was
not broken and death came from sui
location. The theory is advanced
that the fine dirt from the refuse
that had been in the wagon made an
outcry from the boy impossible.
When the body was found II was
nearly covered with fine dirt. DR.. "
F. Beer was summoned, but the boy
had been dead for some time when
the physician arrived. Mr.. Kirk. the
father who is woolgrower is out OF
the city. An effort was made to 10
cate him and the news will be impart
ed at the earliest possible moment.

Rev. II. j. Talbot of this city said OF
him last night:
The Rev. Mr.. Fuller is member
of the Methodist Episcopal church in
Ohio. He was assigned to the anti.
saloon work here about four years
ago and rendered efficient service. He
was good leader and worked with
Mrs. E. E. Shepard and other temper.

He was confident regarding the ef.

met with defeat was greatly disap.

From here he went to Kentucky
where he had charge of church, an

this, that he did more of other things
