Steamer Con1us
OnsFlre,, But Is
Soon Controlled.

New York, July 1.-The Morsah
Line steamer Comus. New York Tor
New orleans, sent wireless message,
early this evening, reporting the
steamer Sioux on fire off Barnesatt.
The fire was not under control Wheh
the dispatch was sent.
The German tank steamer siouA'
Capt. Leotz, sailed from New YORK,
today, for Tuxpax. Mex.
Atmospheric conditions were so pad
tonight, that only the most powerful
wireless stations here We're able 10
catch the original message from the
comas and two hours later nothing
further had been heard from her or
from other vessels in the usual south
ern bound track near the point whers
the Sioux was reported burning. When
word first came from the Comus the
local fire boat service was promptly
notified and the freboat New Yorker
went out at full speed.
Word finally came by wireless, how
ever. and it relieved the anxiety that
had been felt for the Sioux. The mes
sage was from the United Fruit steam
er Santa Marta nearing this port
from Colon and reported that she had
been notified by the Sioux that the
fire was under control and that the
tank steamer was in no further need
of assistance.

nurposes 1t enables the reporting SUI

as will enable them to gain pro-

pubIic facts in relation to the con-
duct of the school system and its fu-

Of the general efficiency of the system
and as to whether the community Is
receiving just returns for its expenoi-

The school report should be attrac-

attention should be made to arrange
ment. paragraphing. correct heading

and index.
The modern school report should
contain adequate financial statements
Of the receipts and expenditures OF the
seheel funds; discussion of the vari-
Gus departments into which the school
system may be divided in reference to
their progress, present state Of eff
cheney and future development; such
statistical tables as will present all
the important facts relative to the
financial and observation-disclosures, of the
system; such additional information
in relation to the school system as
may be of, general public interest or
which ought to be preserved for fu-
ture reference.
What may be omitted from a school
report depends largely upon the COM

issued. From the general viewpoint
the following might be classified as
