Berlin News SCHOOL SYSTEM HAS HAD MANY CHANGES
Professor Adolph Benson Address # eS Hubbard School Glass
HITS CERTIFICATE PRIVILEGE
Personal Element Blamed For Failure In Later School Work-New Game To have Recruiting Station.

The largest crowd ever in attendance et the graduation exercises of the Hubbard school, East Berlin, was , present yesterday, when the members of the class of 1916 received their di plomas. A very interesting program was carried out and each number brought forth great applause from the parents and friends. The diplomas were presented to the class by AdOlph Benson, professor of German in the Sheffield Scientific school Yale uni versity. Professor Benson also de- Iivered the address to the class and took for his subject "The Value cf Grammar School Education"
 He spoke of the change in the edu- eational methods of twenty years ago and now. At that time, when he first came to East Berlin, there was no graded system and the evolution of that system has greatly enlarged the value of the work. Everything now Is done in a systematic manner, which A a marked change for the better. He then dwelt on the importance of the fundamentals of the grammar school course and cited instances, which came under his notice, where men were flunked out of college, be- cause of faulty preparation of the grammar grades. Tn the opinion Of the speaker, too much value cannot be placed on that preparatory work.
 Professor Benson deplored the use of certificates for entrance into high school and college. The personal ele ment, which enters into the teaching of the youth, often causes the teacher to grant certificates in doubtful cases. He advocated strongly examinations for admission to high school and higher institutions of learning. In this wey, every pupil would enter on bis own merits. Tn conclusion, Pro- lessor Benson congratulated the class on the completion Of it's work in the cshool an depressed the hope that all would continue school work.

Later it was ascertaincd that his claim to relationship was not true and the company would prosecute. Prose Scutor Gibney said this morning he had received no complaint from any party Interested and consequently was un- aware of the incident. At the Paper Goods plant, it was stated that the

SENSIBLE TALK ID
 SCHOOL GRADUATES ReV. Il. T. Walsh Warns Children
 Against Enlarged Craniums GIVES SOME KINDLY ADVICE
Thirty-one Members of Class Receive Their Dip1omas-ChiIdren Give En- tertaining Program Want Re- cruits Here-Hydrants Flushed.

With interesting exercises, which were thoroughly enjoyed by a large audience of parents and friends of the pupils, the class of 1916 was graduated from the Grammar school this afternoon in the Town hall It was one of the largest classes to leave the school in it's history, thirty one members getting their diplomas from Rev. H. T. Walsh, acting school visitor. The children had rehearsed their parts for several weeks under the direction of Principal o. L. Judd and his assistants and they rendered the program in most entertaining fashion.
 The exercises opened with invoca- tion by Rev. J. c. Ward, after which the school chorus sang Nightingale And Rose" Salvan Morino, class salutatorian, gave a declamation, '"The American Flag" Meyer Sneide- man recited "The Battle at Sara toga,' after which Vivian Howard en- tertalned with recitation, 'The Present Crisis" Victor Berner won applause for his rendition of "Casey's Revenge" Dorothy Stevens following with a recitation, "The Legend of Bregenz" Charles Phelps showed considerable ability as an elocutionist in the declaration, Let Us Have Peace" The school chorus showed to splendid advantage in the can tata, 'The Garden of Flowers" all the children taking their parts in admir- able style. The class essay with valedictory, William Shakespeare,' was well handled by Jeanette Smith.
 Congratulating the pupils on their successful completion of the course in the local schools but at the same time admOnishing them against over estimating the amount Of knowledge they have acquired, Rev. H. T. Walsh addressed the class in connection with the duty of presenting them with their diplomas He spoke as follows: My Dear Young Friends:
 q va to congratulate you on the active part you are taking today in the exercises that are marking your graduation from the Plainville Cram mar school. It will require only very little exercise of you memories to recall the days, when few short years ago, you began in school to study and to learn; you then had but a very vague and confused idea of the aims and purposes which your teachers had in mind in teaching you, and in endeavoring to build up in your little minds storehouses for the possession and use of that precious treasure which the world is pleased to call knowledge.
 ''As the years went by though, you began to have a keener perception of what, by your studies, you were striving to attain, and perhaps you began to think of the day you would graduate, and began to long for that day which at the present moment you are enjoying; perhaps in the joyous and happy prospect of your graduation, you believed that on that day after successfully completing your Grammar school course you would be perfect types of that in dividual of whom the kindly Gold | smith wrote when he said: And still they gazed, and still the |
 wonder grew, That one small head could carry all
 he knew

Won DE GOLTZ ASsISSlNATED

Reports from Swiss, and Italian
sources say the Field Marshal Won der
Goltz was assassinated Immediately
after the news of the fall of Trebizond
reached Constantinople, and when ne
was about to board a train for Ber-
lin. Another story says that upon see
ing that the Russians were about to
decisively defeat the Turks before
Trebizond, Won der Goltz, despairing
of the collapse of his 20 years OF
work with the Turkisls"urmy placed
himself with all his staff at the head
of the Ottoman force and charged to
certain death. Yet another version
of his death says that it was due to
the rigors of the 80 mile retreat on
horseback, after the route of the Turk
before Trebizond.

CHILDREN ABED DYNAMITED
Explosive Thrown Under Sleeping
Youngsters Fails to kill

Scranton, Pa, April 25-Enemies
dynamited the home of Morris Hol-
lander, Old Forge, early Sunday
morning. by throwing stick of dy-
mantle with lighted fuse attached
through a bedroom window. .
His children, Cecilia, aged 4, and
Emmanuel, aged 2, had narrow es-
,capes from death. The dynamite land
ed on the floor beneath their bed, and,
in exploding twisted the iron bed
and springs into tangled mass of
iron, tore the plaster from the walls
and wrecked other articles of furni-
ture. The children were thrown from
the bed by the force of the explosion
but the bed clothing saved them, un-
hurt, save for few bruises and
scratches.
