Mr.. WILSON'S WORK.
Words of Praise for Topeka's New
Superintendent of Schools.

H. B. Wilson, superintendent OF
schools al Decatur, I'LL, who will sue
coed c. c. Starr superintendent of
the city schools of Topeka on August
| l. is considered to be an educator of
the first rank by the citizens OF the
Illinois town.
| A Decatur newspaper has given a
| summary of the work of Mr.. Wilson
! as superintendent of schools in that
! place for the last six years. 1t is in
part as follows:
The essential thing that has been
/ accomplished in the schools is the vi
! talizing of the school work, making
| it attractive and palatable and part
of the lives of the pupils, the thing
| which Mr.. Wilson calls motivating
! the work.
! Another thing has been the new
] high school building and course of
study. Decatur has one of the few
really great high school buildings in
the country and numerous educators
and boar DIS of education have been
here to study it. 1t took time to or
ganize these high school courses and
to get them into effective operation
and they are just now getting into full
swing. These things have resulted in
putting Decatur prominently on the
educational map and attracting much
attention to its schools.
1T is difficult TO describe under
standingly in an abstract way the
things that have been done toward the
advancement of the Decatur schools.
The public which has Loyalty support
ed him throughout-and 1t has always
supported the man at the head of the
schools-is beginning to appreciate
the fact that Mr.. Wilson has done a
great work here and his going will
be a distinct loss to the schools of the
city. Mr.. Wilson says that whatever
has been done here was done by the
teachers and not by him, and the
credit is due to their unflagging en-
ergy, enthusiasm and work and not to
him.
This work in Decatur has been
watched with the keenest interest by
educators all over the country and
this city has been the center of edu-
cational inquiry. superintendent Writ
of Gary, Ind, which has q nation
wide reputation for it's schools, sent
one of his assistants here seVera
times to study the Decatur schools. |
Mr.. Updegraf of the department of
education at Washington spent several
days here in investigating the schools |
Dean Russell of the school of educa- |
ton of Columbia and Professors
Strayer and Suzzalo of the same in |
stitution have been here on the same |
errand as have number of others"

STANDARD ON GRACE.
Can Stay in Missouri Pending Coco
Behavior.

Jefferson City, June 30.-The Missouri
supreme court has handed down a
decision allowing the Standard Oil
company of Indiana, which had been
ousted from the state to continue busi-
ness in Missouri
The decision does not revoke the or
der of custer, issued some time ago as
result of proceedings instituted by
the state under the antitrust law, but
merely suspends the order for so long
a time as the company complies with
the laws of the state.
The suspension of the custer was
made after evidence had been taken
before a special commissioner to sus-
tain the contention of the company
that it longer had a monopoly on
the oil business of the state.

New York, June 3O.-Nearly 900
persons were marooned on ROckaway

popular resort with Long Island. The
flames started from a short circuit on
the rail of the Long Island railroad
while a train crowded with six hun
dred persons was crossing the long
trestle over Jamaica bay. The rear
car in the train caught fire and there
was a wild scramble among the pas
sengers to get a foothold on the trestle.
Hundreds IF men, women and chill
dren picked their way over the ties
to safety.
About 500 feet of the trestle burn

The only other route home was by way
