FEAR CAUSE OF WRECK
Porter Who Is Unable to
Throw Switch Crushed Be-

HOLTON, Ga. July 26.-A colored
porter was killed and two engineers and
a passenger were seriously injured when
train No. Is Of the Southern railway
crashed into No. IA on a siding here
early today.
When No. IA, the southbound train,
went on the siding, Will Jackson, a
porter, whose duty it was to throw the
switch so that No. Is could pass, be-
came frightened when the northbound
train came rushing toward him. APP
parently fascinated and helpless, he
stood still on the tracks. The north
bound train caught him on the pilot and
crushed him into a shapeless mass
against the engine of the train standing
on the siding. Engineers Lidell and
Jennings of Atlanta were injured. E. g.
Shackleford Of Mount Erie, Ohio, was
the only passenger seriously hurt.
The three injured men, all of whom
will recover, were taken to an Atlanta
hospital. The tracks were cleared and
traffic resumed within three hours after
the wreck occurred.

! aB new RURAL SCHOOL.
Wits Future.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

The relation of the experimental rural
school at Rock Hill to the future of the
rural schools of the country. and es-
pecially to those of the southern states.
is that of the chemists laboratory to
the manufacturing plant. The chemist in
a tiny room. heir to all the ages, but
the slave of nothing that is past, makes
a discovery that one might hide in the
hollow Of his hand But few years.
and that discovery has been magnified.
and not only magnified, but adapted to
the practical ends of work-a-day
world. and is represented to the eye
by acres of rooted buildings under which
toll thousands of workmen, each of them
doing as a matter of course and with
the greatest ease what cost that chemist
sweat of blood to do.
It is manifestly impossible for any
country school district by mere resolution
of the school board to acquire a teacher
such as Mrs. Browne. or to find suffi-
cient public support to scrap the school
books and desks and radically reform
all notions of teaching school. 1t simply
can't be done. Reforms, even the most
radical, are not accomplished that way.
Rock Hill has merely showed what
NAV be done. The shell of tradition is
nipped. The impossible has been done
and the heavens have not fallen. A
standard has been raised and the event
is in the hands of the future.
Therefore, it remains now to tell not
Of what has been done, but of what is
planned to be done, of how the far-see-
ing men who have this problem heavy
On their hearts are endeavoring to make
use of this experiment to do good to
the whole country.
