NOTHING IN CHARGE.
DIR. s. C. Mitchell Exonerated by Com.
mittee. Signed no Agreement, Says

Report.
Columbia, March 1.-Saturday
morning the the comittee that inyes-
tigattd the charges made against DIR.
5. c. Mitchell, president OF the uni
versity of South Carolina, by the gov
nor in his inaugural address, made
its report in which it completely ex-
onorated DR.. Mitchell. The report
says:
We do not find from the testimony
that DR.. Mitchell, the president Of the
university OF South Carolina signed
an agreement by which any money of
the Peabody fund, that had thereto
fore been designated to be given to
Winthrop College, chould be transfer
ed from Winthrop and be given to
the University Of South Carolina and
negro schools. In this the governor
was therefore misinformed. 1t was
well, however, that the governor call
ed the matter to the attention of the
general assembly and urged this in
vestigation for in doing so, he has
caused the whole matter to be fully,
and we hope satisfactorily cleared
up.

port of the committee, which was

Real Roads.

Occasionally Iowa has been brag-
ging about her excellent roads. AS a
matter of fact, to the present, Iowa
has no real roads. She has wide
strips of handsome people think
them unnecessarily wide-Where at
some future date real roads are to be
built. And it seems as if that future
date were drawing near. For while
we have been pointing with pride to
these roads, when the weather was
dry and fair, we have all realized that
there were months when these roads
are practically impossible and that
this state of affairs is not merely
a disgrace to a modern community,
but that it is also the cause of much
loss to the peopel of the state.
1t will mark the beginning OF new
era in Iowa when the state enters up
on a general and systematic improve
ment of the highways, and it will be
the most valuable thing that Iowa
has undertaken since she bent all her
energies to the task of helping to
maintain the union of the states.-

The FeebIe-Minded Immigrant.

In spite Of the best available in
spection q number of insane among
immigrants to this country succeed
in gaining entrance, or else become
insane within a comparatively short
period after their arrival. The de-
lection OF feeble-minded immigrants
who may fail to become entirely self
supporting later, perhaps, becoming
public charges, is an allied but dis
tinct problem and requires of inspect
ors special training. Some expert
ments which prove this and which in
dictate the manner in which the i'm.
migrant inspection service might be
greatly improved have been carried
on by Goddard, director of the re-
search laboratory of the training
school at Vineland, n J. These eX.
periments showed that by the present
methods the physicians of the depart
ment recognized only approximately
10 per cent of predetermined immi-
grants which shows by contrast the
value of expert training in the recog-
milton of the feeble-minded among i'm
migrants
Another highly interesting feature
of this test was the percentage distri-
button OF these immigrants in rela-
ton to the country of their origin
or the entire number examined, 500
We're from Southern Europe; of these.
46, or rs per cent, were recognized
as defective; 26O were from differ
ent section of Southern Europe. of
whom "a, or 8 per cent, We're picked
as defective. The remaining 400 were
from Northern Europe and among
them 13, or 3.25 per cent, were select.
ed as defective. This in comparison
with the estimated three or four de-
fectives per thousand of the popula-
ton in the United States shows an
enormous proportion of detectives
among the immigrants. incidentally,
this observation seems to furnish 4
strong argument against DR.. Goddard
views on the relative proportions of
native-born and foreign-born defect
ives, commented on last week.
In view of the steady and enor-
nous stream of immigration to this
country from foreign lands the con-
illusions to be drawn from this show
ing are so obvious that no extended
statement from them need be made.
The Journal of the Americal Medical
Association say, however, that with
out desiring to criticize the present
overworked inspection service, train
ing in some institution for the feeble
minded for year or two, and the ad-
ditiOn of a half dozen inspectors would
vastly improve the immigrant inspec
some amendment of the immigration
laws, or stricter enforcement of TIE
present law in regard to deportation
of detectives, would certainly relieve
the country of an enormous and con-
tinuing burden of expense and re-
spOnsibility, to say nothing of the
deleterious effect of this defective
stock on the entire social fabric.

Electricity at Panama.

Electricity will furnish the motive
power for the operation of the Pan
anna canal and the installation of the
equipment is already under way. Pow
erful electric locomotives will haul
the shipping through the locks of the
canal. The locomotives will run on
raised track, beside the canal and
will receive their electric energy from
hydro-electric plant being built in
connection with the Gatum dam The
gates of the mighty locks, weighing
many tons, will be opened and closed
by powerful electric motors in the
remarkable time of one minute and
forty-eight seconds. The canal will
be lighted by electricity and electric
purposes in connection with the work.
A writer in the Electrical News says
that to supply the power to operate
the gates and sluice valves in the
locks and to furnish current for the
monster electric locomotives which
are to tow the steamships through
the locks, great hydro-electric sta
ton is being erected adjacent to the
spillway in Gatum dam, equipped with
three large water turbines and three
1000 kilowatt generators, with suit
able exciters and other auXiliaries.
There will be enough water from the
storage in Lake Gatum to warrant the
installation of 5000 kilowatts, though
in the dry season it will be neces-
sary to draw upon the storage. Al
-, lat &c.
electric work seven per cent Of the
minimum water system of the canal
will be required. A part of the cleo
tricity is to be used for lighting the
line of the canal. There will be con-
crete lamp posts 100 feet apart the
entire length of each lock wall. Al
together 1000 lamps will be installed
at the locks.-lda County Pioneer.
