School Pupils Of
City Average Well
in Smelling Tests

I During the past two or three years
many Of the larger cities have been
undergoing extensive educational sur
veya by outside specialists, These SUR
veys are carried ont at large expendi-
ture Of money apd time. Al result
OF these surveys there has been nm
Immense amount OF data derived, and
the standards attained BY the various
schools In different branches have been
published. Superintendent Palmer, with
the assistance OF the teachers, has been
applying these standards to the schools
OF this city In order that a diagnosis OF
local needs may be made
Tests to determine the relative rates
Of oral and silent reading were given
some days ago by grade teachers from
the second to the seventh grades, in
elusive. AS might be expected the rate
OF silent reading in almost every grade
exceeded the rate of oral reading. The
paragraphs used were not standard
ICED. so no definite results can be re-
ported. The study was made by the
teachers chiefly for the purpose of de-
termining individual differences in
their own grades Later In the year
standardized paragraphs will be used
so speed and comprehension tests can
be made.
The arithmetic drill work on the
fundamental processes is being pushed
forward since the results of the Courts
tests were announced. Special drills
have been arranged by Mr.. Palmer and
the Courts work is being supplement
ed by devices arranged for drill by AS
sistant Superintendent Studebaker, Of
Des Moines. The aim Is to tone up the
speed as we'll as the accuracy in addi-
ton, subtraction, multiplication and
division
The grade penmanship Is soon to be
subjected to a standard test such as
Ayres, Freeman or Thorndike, to de-
termine its efficiency. The high school
and eighth grade penmanship was re-
Quaife, and the results were found to
re very good. The eighth grade work
was especially gratifying.
The Cleveland survey is probably the
most comprehensive survey of city
school system which has yet been
made. 1t had an advantage not only in
the eminent specialists which headed
the work. but also in the fact that II
could profit ny the experience gained
in other earlier surveys. The director
was Leonard P Ayres. Of the Russell
Sage Foundation, New York City. In
addition to other Cleveland survey lists
given in the local schools second
Ayres spelling list has been given and
results tabulated. The work was given
i'll grades two to seven.
Tie second grades of the city aver
age lowest, while the sixth grade aver
aged 1904 per cent. The general aver
age for the city was 74.7S. Children in
eighty four other American cities made

Ayres list, used in the Cleveland sur
.vey. The average score of "a. per cent

TO MEET IN ASHEV|LLE
State Baraca-PhiIathea Convention
Meets May 17-2o.-Interesting Pro-
gram is Being Prepared.

Greensboro.-The seventh annual
convention of the North Carolina
Baraca and Philathea organizations
will be held in Asheville, N. c., May
1920, 1917. A very strong program
is being arranged and an unusually
large delegation from the classes over
the state is expected. This is the first
time the state convention has ever
been scheduled for Ashevil1e, and the
many attractions that the Land Of
the Sky" affords will draw many peo-
pie who probably would not otherwise
attend. While the program has not
been completed yet, it is known that
some very able speakers and workers
will appear. Miss Henrietta Heron of
Elgin, FL, first vice-president OF the
World Wide Baraca-Philathea Union,
is expected to be on the program again
this year. Miss Heron is one of the
leaders in Sunday school work in our
country. The very efficient services
that She has rendered in connection
with former conventions in this state
have won for her an enviable place
among the Barracks and Philatheas of
friends that she has made will learn
with joy that she is to be on hand
again. It is also known that DR.. J.
Forest Pretty, chaplain of the
United States Senate, will appear on
the program. DR.. Prettyman is one
OF the great preachers of the country
and the associations feel that they
are fortunate in having BEN able to
book him for this convention. Other
secured to take part, some of whom
will be part of the force Of the state
Sunday school SECRETARIES of the var
1ous denominations. DR.. Sylvester A.
Newlin of High Point has been secur-
ed to preach the convention sermon.
approximately sixty thousand peO-
pie are enrolled in Baraca and Phila-
then classes in North Carolina in the
more than two thousand classes that
are on record. It is conservatively
estimated that four out of five of the
young. men and women in Sunday
school in North Carolina today were
won by Baraca and Philathea classes.
In many cases the young men and
women far outnumber the children.
Such condition would have been very
unusual a few years ago. The classes
support literally all objects fosterei
by the church and in many instances
have assumed the responsibility of
supporting an orphan in the denomina-
tional orphanage or a missionary on
the foreign field It is gratifying to
know that North Carolina has a larger
number of these classes than any
other state and that the movement is.
growing stronger and bigger all the
while.

Fire at Methodist orphanage.

Raleigh.-While fire ragged on the
first floor, AZ boys of the Methodist
Orphanage marched out of the Little
Boys building of the orphanage and
later from another dormitory, watched
flames destroy all their personal ef-
fects and the building, entailing loss
between $4,000 and $1,000.
All the boys with an exception Of
about ten we're sleeping on the second
floor of the building when smoke and
flames aroused them from their slum-
ber Maintaining perfect order, the
boys and their matron, Mrs. Thomas,
marched out of the burning building
into the main dormitory to safety. Not
one was hurt.
The fire originated in the ladies sit
ting room on the first floor and about
half this room was burned before the
flames were discovered. Fire trucks
responded to phone alarm and by
hard work prevented the flames from
spreading to other nearby buildings.
The fire was placed under control half
an hour after the firemen arrived, but
it required longer time to finally con-
quer the confagration on account OF
fire going inside walls and partitions.
The building was the first ever con-
structed at the orphanage and for q
time was the only building there. 1t
was a two-story brick structure. Re-
building will start at once. The trus-
tees of the orphanage met at once and
passed resolutions authorizing the ex-
ecutive committee to erect another
building to take the place of the one
burned. In the meantime the boys
are making their headquarters in the
sewing room over the laundry.

The prisoners, many of them Sile-

blown up. The death roll inflicted was
as high as 300, including, it is thought,

prisoners, several machine. guns and a

light. ........
