NEW USE FOR SCHOOL HOUSES.
May Sc Utilized AS Employment
Offices.

WASHINGTON. - Utilization of the
school houses Of the country as en-
ployment offices for those out of work
has been taken under consideration by
the United States Bureau of Education,
which has approved any movement
that viii make the school houses more
general in their sphere of usefulness.
Prof. John r. Commons. of the Wis
cOnsin Industrial Commission, is one
Of the principal advocates OF the plan
TO utilize the schools as labor eX-
changes.
The proposed plan coEtemplates the
opening o. a regular channel OF inter
communication between the schools of
r state with reference to the unem-
ployed. Through the directors of the
social center connected with the
schoolhouses the man out Of work, on
registering the TACT Of his lack Of en-
ployment. could be placed in touch
with employers over a broad field.
Educators and scientists believe the
organization Of such a system would
do a vast amount of good in populariz-
ing education.
While educators have no way Of
finding out" says the bureau in a
statement just issued. just how far
the suggestion Will be adopted. the
fact that a proposal like this receives
attention proves how widespread is
the sentiment in favor OF any and all
projects Involving a wider use Of the
school plant for the benefit Of the
community.
The study OF children in schol. 10

Utica After a Ions illness Vice
President James SchooIcraft sherman
died at his home, in This city, AT s.+2
o'clock Wednesday night Of uremic
poison, caused by Bright's disease.
He had been sinking since early
morning. and it was realized that
death was a question only OF a few
hours
There was slight relief shortly at
ter Z o'clock, caused by an apparent
improvement in the condition OF the
Kidneys. but it did not prove real or
lasting and at best save only temper
airy hope.
At 8 o'clock the patients tempera-
ture rose so LOG. From that time his
condition rapidly passed from bad TO
worse until the end. Mr.. sherman
was unconscious when the end came
and had been in that condition for
hours.
All the members of the immediate
family We're witnesses 10 the final
scene.
Soon after Mr.. Shermaus death Dr.
Fayette II. PECK. the attending physi-
clan, issued The following statement:
The Vice-President died at 9.42
p A.. without regaining conscious
ness for moment He was perfect
ly quiet. He died in the presence Of
his wife her brother and sister, his
two brothers and his three sons and
their wives. He had been entirely I'M
conscious since o'clock, When he had
a period of partial consciousness last
ing for about Is minutes. He died in
a uraemic coma as a result of
Bright's disease, heart disease and
holorisis.
The first discovery that Mr.. ShCr-
mans kidneys We're affected was made
at the beginning of the national cam
paign in 1908 At that time he was
suffering from gallstoues and his
physician informed him that one Of
the kidneys had become diseased and
advised moderation in work and diet
The advice was followed in the latter
hut not in the former respect Nj
Sherman became most abstemious in
eating, taking nothing but the simplest
foods, but he persisted in giving the
closest personal attention 10 his Off
cial duties as well as to his extensive
business interests. So completely did
he keep himself occupied that Dr.
Peck found in this fact the principal
reason for the NiCe-President's break
down
Apparently Mr.. Sherman did not
weaken under this strain until last
spring. Required by the tense par
liamentary situation in the Senate to
be constantly in his seat during the
recent session OF Congress. he began
to fail in March. A merical eXamina-
ton then revealed Brights disease in
an advanced form and he was advised
to suspend all labors and devote him
self to an effort to counterfeit the
ravages Of the disorder by building up
his physical system as a whole.
Big Moose. in the Adirondacks. was
chosen as the place of resort because
OF its seclusion and to that point the
Vice-President went in June. yielding
the senatorial gavel most reluctantly.
The change came too late. however.
Already the heart had become involv-
ed and the Big Moose altitude of
1000 feet came near causing death.

London - \ four-day battle in
Thrace has ended in the triumph Of
the Bulgarian commander-in-chief,
General Savoff. whose skilful strategy
has probably brought to 4 close one
of the shortest and most remarkable
wars on record.
\ great Turkish army. estimated at
more than 100000 men, has been de
feated and is in retreat. CONSTANT
nople is believed to be at the mercy
OF the victorious Bulgarian army, and
a council. sitting at the Porte, IS dis
cussing the adyisability OF suing for
peace.
Such IS the news which comes from
Constautinople.
1t IS only a fortnight since Turkey
declared war. The first week OF the
campaign closed with the dramatic
fall of kirk-kihsseh, fully revealing
for the first time the disorganization,
bad morale and inefficient commits
sariat OF the Turkish army. Today
that army is defeated. routed within
so miles from Constantinople, and
possibly It's retreat within the capt
tails line of defense is cut OFF.
Nazim Pasha. the Turkish minister
of war and chief in command in
Thrace. has been either shot or taken
prisoner. according TO a dispatch from
Sofia TO the Post.
Only the briefest aud yaeuest ac-
counts Of the great battle have yet
been received. for the war has been
especially remarkable in that not q
single war correspondent has been
allowed at the front except in the case
of the little Montenegro campaign
against Scutari
Thus no Independent personal mar
ratives of the absorbing events have
been possible, and the world has had
to depend on biased official accounts
provided by the respective govern
ments or confused details supplied by
wounded soldiers.
1t is believed a peace settlement
will be arranged either by the Porte
suing for peace or through interyen-
ton of the powers.
