COMPLETE NEW BRIDGE
IN ABOUT TWO MONTHS
Double-Track Structure for Pennsy
Road Over Tidal Basin Outlet
Open for Service Soon.

Though the iron work of the new
double-track railroad bridge which the
Pennsylvania railroad will place across
the tidal basin outlet. at the foot Of 14th
street southwest. is completed. it is stated
that it will be two months or longer be-
fore other necessary work about the sup
ports of the bridge will be completed
and the new bridge can be slid into po-
sition. The taking out of the old bridge
and the placing in position of the new and
heavier structure will be accomplished,
when all is ready, in a very short time,
and the change in bridges will not in any
way interfere with the movements of
trains to and from the south. The heavy
cords of the new bridge rest on temporary
supports to the west of the bridge now
in use 1t is built on rails, so that when
the time comes to make the change it
can be slid into position as the old bridge
is moved out.
Workmen are still employed in cutting
away the stone pier about the old bridge
SO that there will be nothing in the way
when the bridges are moved.
Increasing traffic over the bridge, which
is the only direct outlet to the south
from this CITY, is given as the reason for
the change to be made in the bridge, it
being thought the present one is unequal
to traffic demands.

ADVANTAGES OF DANCING.
Star Coupon Insures Instructions for
Securing Benefit of Exercise.

Dancing it is declared, teaches a girl
rhythm. it keeps her in tune with life.
it gives her a graceful swinging walk. it
shows her how 10 hold her head and
how to use her hands and. what is
more how to use her feet. for many
women are awkward in their ways of
moving and standing.
Dancing too. naturally encourages
sluggish blood to run more freely. it
brings color into sallow cheeks, and
makes dull eyes bright.
But, like all things. the dancer must
know when to stop. She should not con-
tinue to dance after becoming very tired,
and attract hard little lines to the face
by striving TO keep up when unaccustom-
ed muscles rebel.
This exactly accords with the book of
instruction. Modern Dancing" offered
by The star to its readers. The Castles,
Irene and Vernon, are considered by
many the greatest instructors of dancing
in the world. and both their theory and
practice are embodied in the volume,
illustrated in detail by means of moving
pictures taken from life. The coupon
on page of the issue today explains the
terms.

Friend of Young Officers.

Beatty is quiet kindly. scholarly
man who seemed peculiarly well suited
by his assignment when he was placed
in charge of the naval library at Wash
ington. But his chief value to the navy
has been as an expert on ordnance. Just
as Admiral Fiske. now in charge of the
bureau Of operations, is largely respon-
sible for the Improvement III naval artil-
lery practice. through the electric range
finder and telescope sight he invented,
so Beatty is to be credited with share
Of the Improvement in the. guns them
selves which has been worked out in the
last dozen years. As commandment of the
navy yard at Washington and later as
superintendent OF the naval gun factory
the big gun of the modern American
warship the equal of any big gun in the
world.
Perhaps 1t is because of those early
days of chore doing with no time for
play that Beatty has always been known
as a friend of the young officer in the
navy. II has often been charged that
some of the elder officers frown upon
youngsters who display too much initfa-
tive and perseverance. The elders feel
that promotion should be deserved by
years rather than by achievement. Beatty
has never publicly discussed the dissen-
sion breeding topic of selective advance
ment. But wherever he found young
officer who was engaged upon worth
while work he quietly made 1t possible
for that officer to continue at that work.
1T would be difficult to say how many
brilliant young officers Beatty has in this
manner saved TO the navy said one OF
his friends.

DR.. CLAYTON ADVOCATES.
"S|X-AND-S|X" PLAN
Would Have High School Training
Begin at End Of Sixth
Year.

Emphatic approval of the "siX-aud-si
plan of school organization urged by the
Inland Empire Teachers Association at
its Spokane meeting was expressed by
DIR. P. P. Claxton, United States commits
sioner of education. Il know of no valid
reason for the present plan of eight and
four years of school, declared DR. Clax-
ton. There should be six years of ele-
school. the high school period being d-
vided into two sections of three years
each.
There are many reasons for the
change. Children twelve and thirteen
years old are at the beginning of the
transition period between childhood and
youth-they should not be kept doing
elementary work At present the pupils
in most school systems mark time to a
large extent through the seventh and
eighth grades. This is especially true
where the methods OF the elementary
schools are carried through these and
the children are taught by women grade
teachers.
Plan to Promote Teachers
With a sixth-year elementary school
1t would be easily possible to promote the
teachers with the children from grade to
grade, thus gaining the large value that
comes from teachers and children re-
naming together until the teacher knows
the needs Of the children. their strength
and their weakness. and can build intelli-
gently on all the work of previous years.
Furthermore. to begin the high school
with the seventh grade VIII make much
easier the departmental work. which

as foreign languages. constructce geom-
etry and real literature at this point.
where they should be begun The study
of languages. especially of modern Ian
guages should be begun in a practical
way before children have passed the time
when they can learn in this way. This
plan will also make it possible to intro
duce manual training. domestic science
two years earlier than they are now be-
gun.
Only One-Fourth Continue.
The division of the high school into
two sections of three years each will
make easier a second differentiation of
work at the end of the first three high
school years.
''At present only about one-fourth of
the children enter the high school. The
compulsory school age in most states
corresponds quite closely with the ele-
mentary school period. Parents and chill
dren are thereby confirmed in the idea
that the elementary education is all that
is needed. Besides, the break between the
elementary school and the high school at
this time suggests leaving school and
makes it easier. If the break came at
twelve or thirteen the great majority Of
children would be in the high school, do
ing high school work under high school
conditions, and probably a much larger
proportion of them would continue in
school than under present conditions
