SUM WER SCHOOL
OF THE SOUTH
At KNOXVILLE THIS MONTH
Courses Offered Eembrace Wide
Range from kindergarten to
Collegiate Subjects.

There are several features of the sum
mer school of the south which will be
of special interest to all Tennessee
teachers. This well-known summer
school begins its thirteenth session at
the University of Tennessee, in Knox
vile, on June % and continues until
July 81.
The courses offered this year embrace
the same wide range from kindergarten
to collegiate subjects which has char
acterized the schools work in the past.
Care is taken to provide expert instruc-
tors in every field of study and many
distinguished educators from all sec
tions of the country will co operate
this year. From all present indications
the forthcoming session promises to be
the most successful one in the history
of the institution.
Three special features which are de-
signed for the benefit of Tennessee
teachers in particular are worthy of
extended notice
The first is the new provision for
review courses in the interests of those
teachers who are preparing for the
examinations. Under the new certifi
cate law of the state of Tennessee ex-
aminations will be conducted at the
summer school of the south by the su
periniendent of public instruction on
July is and II. This examination will
cover all classes of certificates issued
by the state, namely, first and second
grade elementary certificates and first
and second grade high school certif-
Gates.
In order TO assist teachers in nrepar-
ing for these examinations, special re
view courses in the SUI jects of exami.
nations have been arranged for. These
courses will be conducted during the
first four weeks of the session, that is,
up to the time set for the examination.
The courses will be in charge of some
of the leading school men of the state
Twenty. seven such courses are listed,
covering all phases of the elementary
and high school subjects of examina-
tion.
Students who enroll for these courses
pay but the regular registration fee
and are entitled to all the privileges of
the summer school.
A second feature for the benefit of
Tennessee teachers is the award of
scholarships in Agriculture, Home
Economics, and Manual Training
These scholarships exempt their hold
ers from the usual registration fee.
Four scholarships in Agriculture are
allotted to each county of the state,
and one in Home Economics and one
in Manual Training to each city and
county superintendent of The state for
distribution. These scholarships are
for the benefit of those who are pre-
pairing TO teach these subjects in the
state of Tennessee, and the holders are

SOUTH AMERICA AS
AIN EXPORT FIELD

Washington, May 81-The United
Estates Department of Commerce has
just issued comprehensive report on
"South America as an Export Field, -
which is of special interest at this time
in connection with the work being
done by the Southern Railway Conn
pany and the companies associated
with it in developing trade with South
America by way of the southern ports
served by their lines.
This report contains some interest.
ing information as TO the methods
pursued by the United Kingdom and
Germany which are the two great
competitors of the United States in
supplying South American markets,
and President Harrison, of the South
ern Railway Company, has called at
tention TO the following extract from
it as containing valuable suggestions
for southern manufacturers and mer.
chants who are interested in the trade
opportunities OF South America:
"The Germans owe a great deal to
their banks, which lend active assist.
ance to schemes Of trade promotion;
and the facility with which shipments
are financed and credits handled
through them has been noted as one of
the greatest German assets in building
up their South American trade. The
most important influence for efiecting
this result, however, has been the
thorough manner in which the Ger
mans have investigated the special
features of each particular market and
the pains they have taken 10 see that
their goods fitted in with what the
people desired II is the established
custom for young men from Germany
who intend to engage in the export
trade to spend some years in South
America as a part of their commercial
education, learning the language and
and studying the habits Of the people.
Through them first-hand and detail
ed knowlege of the trade is acquired,
and the information gained is closely
followed. There are also in Germany
many private and semi-official as
sociations devoted especially to the
furtherance of the German export
trade, and these not only disseminate |
as to the kind of particular
articles required by the trade, but often |
subsidize agents to South America and |
other foreign fields who make study |
Of market conditions. The co ooperation
Of all German influences in South |
America toward the one object of fur
thering trade has often been remarked, |
and it has resulted in the present high |
position of the country in
all parts of the continent. The promo
ion of United States trade in South
America does not necessarily depend
IN following either English or German
methods, but as in the case of these
both the investment of
American capital and the closer atten-
ion to details on the part of American
have been Important factors
n the trade increase of the last few
7ears."

Original Railway School
Appropriation Must Stand

Special to the Evening star.
TRENTON. Dec. 16.-Assistant
Commissioner of Education j. B. Belts
today decided that the action of the
board of school estimate of Railway
in reconsidering its resolution adopted
on May 27 last fixing the school ap-
proriation for the year beginning
July l at a subsequent meeting is null
and void. The original amount
certified to the Board of Education
and Common Council of Railway was
S27, 5000, but the council refused to
pass an ordinance providing for the
amount, on the ground that the board
of estimate had not taken into ac-
count an uuexpended balance to the
credit of the Board of Education.
Therefore. on August ] the estimate
board adopted a new budget calling
for s24.260.5e, which amount was duly
sanctioned by ordinance OF the Com
mon Council, passed on August 4.
The decision orders that the Com
mon Council of the city Of Railway
appropriate to the use Of the Board of
Education the sum of $27, $3.50. 80, the
amount originally certified, to council
for It's approval.

WILL ESTABLISH
BOARDS POWER
IN RATE-MAKING
Legislative Ma. ority Stirred by
Errors Court Decision in
Gas Case.

TRENTON, Dec. I6.-The joint con-
ference of senator's and assembiymen
! who will compose the Republican ma
i iority in the next Legislature yester-
/ DAY decided to name a committee to
consider legislation having to do with
| the jurisdiction of the Board of Pub
/ lie Utility Commissioners in rate
making cases, and also decided to
name another special committee to
study the question Of best how to
protect the Atlantic coast line of the
state from the heavy losses caused
/ by storms, concerning which a mass
meeting is being held in the Assembly
chamber at the Capitol here today.
The action OF the joint conference
regarding the Public Utility Commits
sion and the rate-making power was
taken IN view of the recent decision
of the Court of Errors in the ninety
cent gas case and also the announce
ment of the railroads to increase their
rates in South Jersey. Discussing the
matter after the conference, Senator
Read, its chairman. said that an
effort will probably be made to give
the commission rate-making power
which snail be effective. 1t was
pointed out in the conference that II
franchises of corporations are not
taxable, they should not be consid-
cred Of any value in the making OF
rates.
The committee that will consider
legislation looking to a better pro-
lection of the shore counties was
named yesterday. and consists OF
Senators Hutchinson, of Mercer, and
Mathis. of Ocean, and Assemblymen
Thomson. Monmouth; Stevens, Cape
May. and Ohphant, Mercer The
committee to consider the Public
Utility legislation was not appointed
yesterday, but Senator Read said
that he would confer with Speaker
to-be Godfrey, to the end that
committee of upper and lower house
members would be selected that
would fairly represent all sections OF
the State.
1t Is probable that some changes
will be MADE from the rules that gov
erned the Senate and House of last
year with respect to the time limit for
introducing bills. Last year the limit
was the first Tuesday in March. Tho
Republicans consider the policy of
setting an arbitrary date for the
presentation of new measures to
cease prejudiciaI to the best interests
of the State, in that 1t might prevent
The enactment after that time OF
some good legislation, because the
bills could not be introduced. The
matter of rules, however, will be left
to each house to decide for itself.
The Republicans will hold another
conference next week.

binder known as glutrin, which has
figured more or less prominently in
the Investigations being made by the
point appropriations committee, takes
exception to the testimony of Joseph

Curran is superintendent of the
maintenance division of the high
way department of New York State.
Weeks alleges that Curran made an
inaccurate statement TO the appropri-
ations committee regarding the use
of glutrin in New York state.
In Joseph Curran's testimony
before the investigating committee
on Monday" Weeks declared, he
stated that glutrln was not used in
New York State. He seems to be
misinformed on this, as there were
in the neighborhood Of 250, 900 gal
Ions used during the past year, and
there are contracts already let for
work this coming year requiring
about 10000 gallons.
This material is provided for in

nance work. The work done this
year has received the approval of the
