MOORE SCHOOL NOW
NEARS COMPLETION
Until 1t is Ready for Use the
Children Will Attend
Baxter School.

Since the completion of the Joseph
Moore colony school at South West
Second and E streets, is not expected
before October Is. the school board
has made arrangements to use two
rooms in the Baxter school for the
accommodation of the children who
are to attend the new school. )
All pupils residing south of West
Main street, belonging to the first.
second, third and fourth grades. will
attend the new school. and all other
West Richmond pupils south of the
Pennsylvania railroad will attend the
Baxter school. Although there will
be a kindergarten class in the new
Joseph Moore school, this class cannot
organize until the completion of the
building.
The board first contemplated rent
ing rooms for the accommodation of
the Moore school children, but as no
satisfactory location could be secured,
it was found necessary to have all the
West Richmond pupils attend the Bax-
ter school until the completion of the
Joseph Moore school.
The first and second grade children
will be placed in one room and the
third and fourth grades will be placed
in another room at the Baxter school
This plan will temporarily crowd the
school and will make the teaching OF
the Joseph Moore school pupils espec
tally difficult because there will be
two grades in each of the two rooms
set aside for these pupils.
Only the center or administration
building of the Moore colony schoo
is being built at present. AS the
school grows the school board viii
construct other buildings along the
lines of the colony plan, each room
having one grade and being in a sep
arate building, the Surroundings to be
grouped around the administrator

years practically a complete change is
made in the teaching staff of the
county
True to this average twenty-six out
of the one hundred and five teachers
in Wayne county outside of Richmond
and the towns resigned their positions
or were discharged during the past
year.
Cupid provided happy homes for
nine of the twenty-six teachers who
were in the service last year. Eight
teachers resigned to continue their
education or to travel, three resigned
because of i'll health, six were dis
charged because of their inefficiency,
while two resigned to take up new vo-
cations in life one to be a farmer and
the other to engage in the insurance

We're instructed as to how to organize

afternoon by Mr.. Williams. The mis-
takes made last year by the variou:

NEW HAVEN CARS
HAD ROTTEN TIMBER
Officials Burn Debris Before
Authorities Can Make
Investigation.
(National News Association

NEW HAVEN, Sept. death cars
of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad which crushed out
North Haven, Conn. on Tuesday,
were so old that the woodwork was
rotten according TO the testimony to-
day at the inquest of the rear end col
lision OF the Bar Harbor express and
the White Mountain express.
This testimony was given before
Coroner Mix by w F. Clarkson of
New Haven who was one of the first
to visit the scene of the wreck. The
debris was burned before any official
representing the county, state or fed
eral government could examine the re-
mains of the three cars.
Coroner Oefies Public.
Coroner Mix defied public opinion
by making his investigation secret, as
officials of the New Haven road de-
sired, but most of the witnesses were
SO enraged at the star chamber pro
ceedings that they revealed their
testimony to correspondents when
they left the inquest room.
Despite the secrecy drawn over the
investigation, it has been learned pos
itively from one who was present at
the star chamber inquiry. that the fact
was established beyond question that
Engineer Augustus Miller of the
White Mountain express, who is now
locked up without bail. had a clear
right-Of-Way on the morning of the
wreck
From a statement of an official, it
is apparent that Engineer Miller, ow-
ing to the fog, should have proceeded
more carefully. Another prominent
railroad man said Miller was clearly
in the right as there were half dozen
or more trains proceeding over this
division in the same direction and
each was supposed to travel at a
speed that would keep it out of the
way Of trains in the rear as well as
keeping watch for trains ahead.
