ANTHRACITE is
FAR IN ADVANCE

Complete statistics tabulated today
demonstrate that the anthracite in
dustry, both as to production and dis
tribution during the first third of the
coal year, actually accomplished the
big task which it set for itself to be
accomplished within that period
Domestic sizes of anthracite were de-
livered either in excess of the
amounts allotted to the different
states, or virtually equal to such al
lottments. In no case was the ac-
tual delivery for the four months
short of the tonnage due under the
allotment by as much as would be
such state.
In the period from April / to July
81, the program called for 3,443, SOS
tons of prepared anthracite distrib-
uted into New England. Actually
3.S06,506 tons were delivered into the
six New England states, every one
of which received more coal than due
for the period. Such excess distri-
button into New England was made
in strict accordance with the plan of
the Anthracite Committee of the u.
S. Fuel Administration which was to
get very substantial advance deliv-
cry of anthracite into New England
whites transportation was easy and
ahead of cold weather. In the same
way and for like reason, Canada re-
ceived 1851 ,942 tons of prepared coal,
the basis allotment being 1,200.66S
tons for the period.
With such accomplishment to New
England and Canada, the distribution
into the six middle Atlantic states
and the Disrtcit of Columbia was
close up to the program, reaching
10,11S.297 tons. The shortage on
quota s54.0S7 tons is neglible being
an amount equal to only four days
shipments, which can be easily made
good. Such territory is most contin-
uous to the anthracite region so that
transportation is less factor in win
ter than TO other sections in which
anthracite is consumed.

two correspondents. Professor Judd
testifies that he is 'known for Wig
orous organization OF practical
courses in his schools" Others state
merely that he is known for his pre-
vocational plan, two speak Of him
as a good organizer and several
mention that he is Joint author Of
a series Of textbooks.
Those who are specially friendly
to Mr.. Ettinger in his present can
didacy dwell upon his long service
in the New York schools, his init
mate acquaintance with many OF
their problems, and his contribution
to secondary education in the pre-
vocational plan. lie has, they say,

Eleven First Choices
F or Detroit Man

Foremost among these is Charles
+. Chadsey, now superintendent Of
schools OF Detroit. Mich. The ores-
ent poll gives him eleven first choice
votes against eight for his runner
up, William McAndrew. The choice
becomes the more weighty when one
examines the names of those who
make it. If the standing of the men
who voted for him were taken into
consideration, his lead over the othe,
candidates would be very materially
increased. His reputation is, in
deed, not without certain clement
of the sensational. Soon after his
appointment to the superintendent,
in Detroit, in 1912, he found himself
in violent disagreement with certain
members of the school board. lie
fought them. They fought back.

Another estimate OF the value of
this method of selection comes from
Allen B. Pond, president Of the Pub
lie Education Association Of Chi
cage. He relates that the associa-
ton urged upon the Board of Edu-
cation canvass of the whole field
similar in method to the one here
summarized. at is needless 10
say he adds, that the Board Of
Education ignored the suggestion
and made-in consequence-or at
least if not in consequence, made,
lamentably weak selection for
which Chicago is daily paying the
penalty"
One correspondent calls attention
to the businesslike way in which
the city of Cleveland recently set
about finding superintendent. L.
first offered enc Of the largest sala-
ries in the country, if not the larg-
est ($12, 0O0) to the best man who
could be found, and then set out to
find him. 1t canvassed the entire
national field, and ultimately brought
IN, in its dragnet, Frank f. Spauld-
ing, taking him away by main force,
as it were, from Minneapolis, which
had hired him but a short time pre-
viously.
Those who favor the selection of
superintendent from outside in
sist that New York's school prob
lem is not unique, except in point of
size. They point out that there are
other cities which are highly hetero-
geneous in population, highly varied
IN social conditions and cultural
needs, rapidly growing and contin-
ually demanding new methods to
meet new problems. What is true
in New York, they assert, is sub
stantially true in Cleveland, Detroit
and Los Angeles. The New York
job is not a different job, it is merely
bigger one.

prominently in the voting for "best
fitted man. Neither of these, how
ever, is seriously considered by the
Board Of Education for the post, it is
understood Nor is it claimed by those
who answered the QUESTIONABLE
that either Of them is distinguished
for research work or important limo
walton in the field of education. MIR.
McAndrew is known as an effective
public speaker. the questionnaires
show. and Mr.. Edison as laborious
and experienced administrator. Mr.
Ettinger has some reputation as the
originator of the "Ettinger PLAN Of
pre-vocational training, but the ma
jority of the respondents confessed
that they did not even know him
by name.
The replies give a prominent place
to Albert Shiels, who is now superin-
tendent Of schools Of Los Angeles,
Cal, but who was for forty-fve
years resident OF New York and
served in the New York public school
-ystem in almost every possible posi-
ton as teacher and administrator.
About two years ago Mr.. Shiels
was called upon to make "school
survey" Of Los Angeles, in associa-
ton with Charles H. Judd, of Chi
cago University. Soon afterward
he was offered the position Of super
intendent. It was his lot to succeed
a man who was efficient and cou-
rageous, and who had a wide and
loyal circle Of friends. He went as
stranger into city which boasted
vehement local patriotism and was
peculiarly jealous Of outsiders. He
has, from all accounts, preserved
the best features Of the administra-
ton Of his predecessor, Mr.. Francis,
and has IN many respects carried
them further. He has made him
self widely popular in Los Angeles.
