Public Grounds and Buildings, by AL
bert Rosenthal. the artist. Like the
other portraits painted for this suite
1t is life sized and will be framed in
accordance with the decorations in the
suite.
The portrait is a splendid likeness of
the former lieutenant governor. Those
who have seen it have commented
upon the work, which is complete in
every detail. 1t is considered by some
to be one of the best of those painted
for the Capitol by Rosenthal.
John K. Tener. former governor, has
not yet sat for his portrait. He has
not had time since the expiration of
his term, but will probably do so this
Fall.
Deserters Taken. An unusual
number of acquisitions involving wife
desertion have been passing through
the State department in the last few
months. Under recent acts the Of
fenses of desertion of wife or family
were made extraditable and almost
daily applications from counties in
Pennsylvania for warrants for men
who have gone to other States have
been received at the Capitol for ac-
ton.

ton Railways company filed complaints
Vto raise the question whether jitneys
were required to have certificates of
public conveniences from the Public
Service Commission have arranged to
make contests of the case and the is
sue will be heard at Scranton the sec
ond week in October. The case will
have a wide effect throughout the
State as 1t is likely that 1t will be
contested in the courts. The commits
sion is scheduled to meet this week
for a few cases, the most important
being that to determine certain ques-
tions raised against crossing of wires
owned by rival companies. The case
comes from the slate region, but has a
principle affecting many companies
Pushing Arsenal. - The new State
arsenal now being built in this city

and the erection will start very short

Walter e. Ranger, commissioner of
schools for Rhode Island. has made an
exhaustive survey of the school sys-
TEN of the state, and the schools of
Westerly are given a high standing
in efficiency, ranking the second in
the state and excelled only by New
port. The period covered by the
school commissioner was the school
reports of 1914 and the survey was
for the purpose of obtaining definite
information relative to the standing
of the several cities and towns.
Where a school fell below the stand
ard the proper remedy was applied
that the community might obtain bet
ter results in return for the money
and time expended.
The commissioner explains that the
amount town diverts from the tax
rate and applies to the maintenance
of schools cannot always be taken
as q criterion of wise liberality and
resulting efficiency, For instance. the
town Of Johnston stands at the top
in a list of 80 on the point. Of appro-
priation from the tax rate, for whom
each 500 it diverts 60 ST. cents to
it's schools. while Providence with its
immense educational plant valued up
into the millions and expending an
excess Of $1,000, 900 g. year for main
cents on each $500 of its tax rate, still
it ranks fourth in all-aroqnd efficiency.
Commissioner Rangers survey is
divided into ten tables Of efficiency.
The first pertains to the length of the
school year and Westerly. Bristol,
Coventry, Cumberland Gloucester,
Hopkinton, SmithfeldA lincoln, War
rem and Warwick rank as No. L.

with a percentage Of "a. Westerly

dren in school, and out and Tiverton

Hopkinton was first in days of
schooling per year if each child got
its share, for with 1872 children Of
school age the total attendance for
the year was 5000 days. with an
average per child of ISL days.
The average salaries of teachers is
$702. Providence heads the list with
1853, Westerly second with $741& and
Newport. third with $780,
