County Superintendent Re-
port Result OF Summer
Examinations
AVERAGES ARE
MUCH HIGHER

DR.. r. l.. Cross, county suDerinten-
dent OF free schools, has made public
the result OF the examinations held
during the summer for admission into
graded schools. In The Delaware
School Journal he says:
New Castle county has eleven
schools with three OF more teachers;
ten schools with two teachers, and
sixty-three one room schools. These
schools sent 142 pupils TO the April
examinations. distributed as follows:
Nine OF the eleven schools sent 81
pupils; 81. OF 6S per cent. OF whom
passed: six Of the twelve two room
schools sent "a pupils: -, or DO per
cent. OF whom passed; OF the 63 one
room schools, 2S sent IS pupils; IL, or
% per cent. Of whom passed.
"Thirty-five one room schools or
more than half did not send a pupil.
or the % that sent pupils. 10 sent &c
pupils. not one Of whom passed. Thir-
teen sent SO pupils, 10 Of whom pass

school could send more than three
pupils TO a higher school.
THE above figures and statements,
as badly as they reflect on the one
room school. fail to state the facts
fully. or the case. would he still
stronger and clearer against our rural
school system. The relative positions
OF the 10 who passed when compared
with those who passed from other
schools again reflect on the character
OF work done by these schools. Ger
tlhcates were issued in the order of
their standing. and these certificates
show that one room pupils stood in
the following places Second. sixth,
fifteenth. twentieth. twenty seventh,
twenty-eighth. thirty-6fth thirty
ninth. forty first forty-second. forty
seventh. dftieth. hfty-third. siXty-hrst.
and sixty-second. We feel certain
that further study OF those who fail
cd In pass would show relatively
low standing for the one room pupils.

Deviating from the subject of
water facilities for moment Mr.
kavanaugh asked if there were
more beautiful home in Morgan City
than that of VIM. Gotten Jr., saying
that this was a splendid home. This
is quite compliment, as Mr. Kavan-
augh maintains one of the finest
homes in St. Louis, and until ten
days ago owned "Kennets Castle"
one of the show places on the Miss
issippi river about forty miles below
St. Louis. He sold the place ten days
ago to a millionaire oil man from
Oklahoma.
Mr.. Kavanaugh said that he was
going out with Mr.. Castell today to
look over the latters reclamation pro
ject, and that they would go out as
far as the Gulf and would return to
Morgan City tonight.
Mr.. Kavanaugh said that this was
his first trip to Morgan City but en-
phatically stated that it would not be
the last.
Mr.. Kavanaugh will 60 to New
Orleans for New Years to take din

Mr.. Kavanaugh was accompanied

of St. Louis. Mrs. Cooke said that
St. Louis was in the grip of a severe

With CasteI Party on DephiDe

Mr.. w. K. Kavanaugh of st.
Louis, one of the leading business
men of that place, but better known
for the interest he has taken in deep
water projects, arrived in Morgan
City last night with the Castell party
of New Orleans on the yacht Del
phine. The arrival of Mr.. Kavan-
augh was totally unexpected and
had it not been for the fact that a
Review reporter recognized him, he
would have probably gotten out as
quietly as he arrived.
The visit of Mr.. Kavanaugh at
this time shows that the eyes of
really big men are on Morgan City
and that outside capital is deeply in.
terested in the future of this city
and the surrounding country.
Mr.. Kavanaugh has been president
Of the Great Lakes to the Gulf deel
waterway project since it wa.
launched. He personally conducted
Presidents Roosevelt and Taft OF
their trips Of inspection down tn.
Mississippi River.
Asked his opinion concerning tn.
water facilities surrounding Morgan
City, Mr.. Kavanaugh expressed him
|self as being perfectly amazed at thu
advantages we have, saying that
"He could see no reason why there
should not be barge line from St
Louis down this far. He added that
he expected to see dinky stream.

that the trip after the Delphine left

CHAS. RICE KILLED BY
CAR AT CAPITOL.

Charlie f. Rice, a prominent
Fulton banker and one of the
county's best men, met an I'M
timely death at Washington, Fri
day.
/ While crossing the car tracks
In front of Chevy Chase Semi
nary, he was struck by a Chevy
Chase car and fatally injured.
The car was stopped within q
short distance and the uncon-
scious man, who was suffering
with fractured skull and inter
nal injuries, was carried into the
lodge at the Seminary entrance,
where he died.
Mr.. Rice had just returned to
the seminary with his daughter,
Miss Pearl Rice, student there,
after a visit to the city with
friends. He left Miss Rice at the
door and walked at once to the
lodge TO await the arrival of the
car for the city.
W illnesses say he crossed both
tracks and awaited the car going
To Chevy Chase Lake. He was
apparently confused as to direc-
tiOns, and when he noted the
south bound ear going to the
city he endeavOred to recross
the tracks. with the result that
the car going north to the lake
struck him.
Difficulty was experienced in
identifying the body, but a pa
PEI was found shortly in one of
the pockets which disclosed Mr..
Rice S identity. Miss Rice was
then notified and the body was
taken charge of by Deputy Sher-
tiff O'Donnell, of Montgomery
county.
Following the Identification the
body was taken TO the residence
Of DIR. and Mrs. Samuel Nelson
Barker, principals, which adjOins
the seminary. 1t was brought
back to Fulton Saturday even

who survives with her mother.
