CALL AQUEDUCT A WONDER
Engineers Enthusiastic in Praise Of
Work Done BY the italian
Government.

The Italian government has Just fin
ished one OF the most important engi-
neering works Of modern days in the
construction of an immense aqueduct
which carrier the waters of the Sele
river-normally flowing west from the
Apennines to the Tyrrhenian sea-to
the city of Bari, on the Adriatic.
The eastern part of southern Italy
sadly lacked water, while the western
part had far more than it needed
The River Sele was selected as that
which could best be spared. 1t rises
124 miles from Bari, and the whole
range of the lofty Apennines are in
between. 1t was necessary to bore
so miles of tunnel, mostly through
granite; to build between four and
FIVE miles of aqueducts and to install
between AZ and As miles of metallic
double siphons. The main aqueduct
is 1872 miles long, and from it branch
of 900 miles of canals that distribute
to the villages of Apulia the 10000
900 gallons OF water that are DETECTED
every day from the western to the
eastern shores of the country.
More than $50 reservoirs. most of
them carved out of solid rock, store
up more than five million cubic feet
of water at intervals along the aque
duct to provide against accidents that
may make repairs necessary. And
| seventeen towns situated at points
higher than the aqueduct receive the
water by means of elevators.

The buildings, aside from their

Warnings OF danger from cholera

are forbidden to drink unboiled water
or eat fresh fruit

the teachers of the county had been
made 10 feel, that they we're AT home
in the broadcast and truest and most
liberal sense OF the word. The speaker
paid many touching compliments to
The good people Of Chickasha before
yielding the floor to A Z. Wickizer Of
Amber. president of the Grady County
Teachers association and one of the
best known educators in this section
Of Oklahoma.
Presidents Address.
In part. President Wickizer spoke
upon the advantages of a higher edu-
cational training for the teachers
themselves. He dwelt at length upon
the chasm which really exists between
the Eighth grade graduates and the
teachers and showed with conclusive
argument that the day haa now past
when the Eighth grade graduate may
qualify and become a teacher. THE
call for better trained teachers" the
speaker said. lis nation wide. The re-
ceptive material Of today is Of higher
standard than ever before, the brains
Of the coming men and women. the
material through which the great trunk
lines of thought are being daily con-
structed." This, the speaker showed,
necessitated a more careful training
and more thorough qualification of the
teacher
The speaker dwelt upon the facts
that the teachers OF today must be
qualified TO solve social problems, as
well as those OF algebra; that such
qualifications called for a training
which would enable the teachers to
work out all the broad issues of the
business world. and most important OF
al. the greater needs of the child.
"The teacher should be able and quail
flied to anaIyze the mind and thoughts
Of the child and to do this should keep
himself posted on the current events
of the day. Bulletins from the health
and the agricultural departments
should be studied and the child him
self should he made a subject of study
self should be made a subject OF
study"
The speaker then dwelt upon the
advantages OF better preparedness
for teaching to the teacher herself. He
showed that eliminating the natural
pride for success the teacher should
feel in the practice Of her profession

In conclusion the speaker sought to
impress even more deeply than ever
upon his auditors the great neeu Ur
the teacher posting himself upon the
needs and requirements of the child
beforehand in order that he might
grasp the sum total on the first day Of

predictions were for a speedy course
and some record time. as the speed

states fastest mile to Topeka.
Should the track come up to ex-

drivers are going after the worlds
competition record for rs miles of 80

The fair management made prepa-

the spectators thirty feet back from
