Sandys own work. AS the Board of

some hundred copies
Mr. Sandy was prominent in urging
the selection of the plot of ground on

from the pen of Olindo Marzulh, a
Newarker, was presented last night
at the Shubert Theatre 1t was the
first performance. The theatre was
crowded, and judging from the APP
plause accorded the piece, 1t was
thoroughly enjoyed
The story is built around the love
of a married couple, which is revived
after a period of dormancy.
The excellent manner in which each
character portrayed his or her part
gave evidence of the extreme care
given in casting the production.

word was received to-day of the French
Line steamer Niagara, which, bound
from Hayre for New York with 17 pas
sengers aboard, was obliged to turn back,
because Of broken propellers, and is re-
turning to a French port.
Yesterday the Niagara was reported in
distress about 1875 miles off Ushant, and
the steamer Bordeaux had gone to her
assistance. The Ushant signal station
learned to-day by wireless from a pass
ing ship that the Niagara had been sight
ed far to the northwest. The station
flashed signals In that direction con-
tinuously throughout the day, but up
to tonight had received no answer,

Says His Secretary Does Not
Withhold Correspondence
from Religious Motives.
SUCH IMPRESSION FALSE
Relations with Tumulty Are
Frank and All Cores
pondence Is Open to
Chief Executive.

Washington. Feb. 17.--In n letter to
". W. Prescott. editor of the Protestant
Magazine. published here, President
Wilson has denied enphatically II y
his correspondence is handled with
religious prejudice By his secretary,
Joseph p. Tumulty. The c%Crrespon-
dence made public to-day by the maya
zine follows:
THE President:
"Washington, u. g., Gan. 10. 1911.
"Sir:--"I learn from personal inter
views and correspondence that there
IS n widespread feeling among Protes-
tants shat it is practically impossible
for any communication relating to the
activities of the Roman Catholic
Church to reach you personally, for
tho reason that all such letters are
withheld from YOU by your private
secretary, Mr.. Tumulty. 1t is unfor-
tunate both for you and for the coun-
try that such an impression prevails
and that il seems to have some foun-
dation.
Before dealing with this subject in this
magazine, am writing to ask for a state
ment from you which might be of service
in restoring confdenc. among SOME of the
best citizens of this republic. Any reply,
however brief, showing that this letter
actually reached you would be n source of
satisfaction.
When you were Governor of New Jer-
sey I wrote you concerning some crltl-
Cisms of your course, In which YOU were
charged with showing favoritism to the
Roman Catholic Church, and your reply
placed the matter in such a light that
did not deem it necessary to make any
reference to the subject. My desire is tc
deal fairly with public men and hence this
letter.
Thanking you for any attention which
you may give to my request, I am,
yours very truly,
w. w. PRESCOTT."
The Presidents reply under date OF
January 10, 1914, follows:
My Dear Sir:
ALLOW me to acknowledge the receipt
OF you letter Of January IL and to thanh
you for your candor in writing me.
II beg Leave to assure you that the i'm
preston that any part of my correspond
ence is withheld from me in any circum
stances by my secretary on account o.
religious predictions on his part is alb
surdly and utterly false. l venture Il
say that no president ever had NOR
frank and satisfactory relations with hi
secretary than l have with mine. TIT
whole of my correspondence is CONSTANT!
open to me. Mr.. Tumulty is more promp
perhaps to call my attention to matters
in which his prejudice is supposed to b'
engaged than to other matters of rela
tive Indifference.
"Of course, l need hardly add, | an
not speaking from an impression, bu
from knowledge of just how my CORE
spondence is handled.
Sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON"

WOULD
NY
SCHOOL SYSTEM

New York, Feb. 17.-Taking public
units now in control and placing It in the
hands of the township was advocated by
DR.. Thomas T.. Finegan, assistant State
commissioner Of elementary education. in
an address made to-day before over POO
members 0: the State Association of Dis
trict School Superintendents, now in con-
vcntion at New York University.
The present system. said DIR. Finesan,
resulted in too much scattering Of effort,
az was shown by the existence in a single
TOWNSHIP of as many as eleven boards
of trustees, all OF them usually unable to
give much attention to school conditions
and educational demands. DR.. Finegan
said there had been widespread opposi-
ton to his plan, bat lh!s was due to
failure of the public to understand fully
existing conditions. In support of the
change advocated, Dr. Finesan said In
part:
by the substitution of this administra-
tive unit the compulsory attendance law
could be made more effective, and the
chief difficulties in connection with med
zeal inspection would be solved. The abil-
ity of superintendents to i~naugurate plans
for the advancement Of the schools and
the improvement of school property would
be greatly increased by an agreement
with only one board where an under
standing is now required with 10 or ID
boards.
An expert in agricultural work could be
employed for each town, a practical ana
valuable system Of school libraries could
be operated, the transfer of teachers from
one chool district to another in the same
town when local conditions made such
transfer advisable would he possible, and
the adoption of text books could be placed
upon an improved and satisfactory basis
whole towns could be united and in
torested IN the great rural problems
which now confront the people in the
AGRICULTURAL sections. The schoolhouse
would become the meeting place for so
cial, recreationaI and agricultural pur-
poses and special functions along al
these lines would be provided to meet
the educational necessities OF the COM
munlty."
Speaking Of the necessity of securing a
higher class of talent in teachers, DR.
Finegan said that it was impossible &c
get this at an average salary OF $780,
per year when in other callings muci
more was being paid for the same order
of Intellect, Higher salaries for rura
teachers were necessary before the pub
lie could hope to get the full benefit o.
the none now spent in public instruc
tion.
