urged them to investigate the home
conditions of each pupil and to learn
What to expect from the child. He
went on TO say that the teacher to
become successful must know the ex-
periences of the child before the boy
or girl comes to school and while out
side OF school; that the teacher must
know the child's hereditary instincts
and influences, physical and mental.
and must know the ideals of each boy
and girl. In order to know these
things and make the present day pub
lie school a success in educating the
boys and girls, DR.. Claxon then pre-
sented his prediction of the complete
revolution of the public school system
now in use in the United States.
Criticises Gum Chewing Teachers
AT the afternoon session Mrs Alice
Nj. Carmalt, of the University of Pitts
ourgh spoke on Manners and Morals
Our Problems. Asserting that the
United States is nation with a con-
science, and that to maintain its pre-
sent, position the boys and girls must
be properly trained in manners and
morals, Mrs. Carmalt said that the
school teachers of to-day are respon-
slble for the men and women of the
future who will represent the nation.
She criticised the teacher who cheWs
gum and uses slang.
The other addresses of the after
noon were made by DR.. O. l.. Warren.
of Elmira, \. Y, and DR.. ClaXon. The
former spoke on Pedagogical Sign
boards" and the latter on Cooper
alton of School and Home" In this
address DR.. ClaXon praised the parent
teachers association. He favored the
plan of making the rural school the
social center of the vicinity, and spoke
strongly in favor of establishing homes
for teachers in country districts, to
be operated at the expense of the
State the same as the public school.

Submarines Active at
Point Where Ancona
Was Attacked and Sunk
BY Associated Press

New York. Nov. 10.-No word con-
cerning the sinking of the Ancona had
been received at noon to-day by Hart
tield, Solari & Co., local agents for the
Italian Line. and it was thought in
steamship circles that the rigid Italian
censorship had caused numerous pri-
vate and press dispatches to be held
back. message from Rome last
night stated there We're 4S2 passengers
on the Ancona, instead of 422, as given
IN previous messages. William Hart
iield, general manager for the line
mere, said the crew numbered 160
making the total ships company 642.
or this number 270 passengers. a
number of them injured, are reported
to have been landed at Bizerta, while
later message stated two of the An
cona's boats with "a of the crew had
landed at Cape Bon. Tunis, about 20
miles east of BiZerta.
Ihe Ancona. according to the local
agents. was scheduled to sail from Ma
ples Yesterday After leaving Naples
the steamer would pass through the
Iyrrhenian sea and enter the Medi
terranean between Cardinal and Sicily.
The meager dispatches indicate that
the Ancona was sunk within the com
paratively small triangle the points of
which are the southern end of Sar-
anna. the western end of Sicily and
Bizerta. Tunis.
The Austrian submarine reported to
have torpedoed and sunk the Ancona

lying in wait for the Ancona at OF

MILLIONS LOST In

of these guns will reach perhaps mil
, lion dollars.
The fire is said to have resulted from
a spark from an electric light bulb
, which exploded falling into a pool of
oil. Almost instantly there flashed up
a sheet of flame which encompassed
the whole building. The main efforts
of the steel company 1remen were
devoted to saving adjoining buildings
when ii was seen that No. machine
shop could not be saved. AS yet the
steel company has not given out an
official statement concerning the fire
or its loss. The latter will be heavy,
as the contents of four floors now lie
mass of twisted material on the first
floor.
Worth Several Millions
There We're about 1000 machines
of different kinds in the building, run
I ming from lathes, shapers, drills, on
down to boring machines. These ma
chimes were worth from $500 20 sew
eral thousand dollars each and il is
estimated that the value of the ma
chnery was several million dollars.
In the neighborhood of 500 men
were at work when the fire started and
so rapidly did it spread that some en-
ployes had to make their escape by
means of ropes from the different
floors.
From Workmen 1t was learned that
the fire started among oil near the
entrance to the plant. This oil flows
in conduits and is used to gather up
flying chips which escape in the op-
Grafton of gun boring. There was only
spark of fire at first which some
workmon started to put out by throw
ing on water. Then followed mighty
flash and up leaped a flame as high
as the structure. which seemed at once
to envelope the whole OF the big
building.
General Alarms Sounded
General alarms were sounded not
only in the steel works but throughout
the boroughs OF South Bethlehem.
Bethlehem, Fountain Hill and North
ampton Heights. In short time East
Third street was thronGed with fire
engines. which pumped water onto the
burning building.
The fire started on the south side
of the building and soon ate its way
through the structure to the north
side. Floor after floor, loaded down
with machinery. collapsed and fell to
the first floor. where it lay in a jum-
bled mass. AS far as known there was
no loss of life. The fire probably will
burn all day.
Some heavy losers are many of the
employees, who lost all their tools, sew
eral having as much as s100 worth in
the building.

court the petition further says
that there is no reason for taxation
because forty per cent. of anthracite
coal is in competition with bituminous
coal, will lead to a denial of the right
to classify coal, oil and other fuel for
taxation because 1t comes into compe-
tition with coal"
With regard to the distribution of
the tax which the Supreme Court de-
clared contrary to the Constitution
the petition says:
Even if 1t be true that the provi-
sion for partial distribution among
the counties is unconstitutional that
furnishes no reason for striking down
the tax. The two matters are so sep
arate and distinct that the tax may be
sustained though the distribution pro-
vided for be forbidden

gest, who participated in the tests of
the case from the start. The petition

News of Sinking Was
Held Up in England

London. Nov. 10. 1880 p. M.-News
of the sinking of the Ancona was not
made public in London until shortly
before noon, when the censor released
the first dispatch from New York on
the subject. This dispatch referred to
the fact that sensation had been
caused by the torpedoing of the An
coma, but as nothing previously had
been heard of the disaster the mes
sage was incomprehensible. Subse-
quently, however, flood of messages
from Rome was released.
