Tusculum College opened today
with an increased attendance and
every prospect for good year. Tus-
culum aims high and the talk is gen.
eral for new science hall, chapel
and music rooms. Other improve
ments are mentioned but these come
first.
Senior 1t. j. B. Anderson, who re-
Gently visited friends in Greeneville
and Tusculum, has been heard from
at Hampton Roads, where was called
for conference with officers of the
airplane service. Weather being ia
vorable, the NC-4 will start Septem-
Der 4th from Rockaway Beach. 1t.
Anderson, who is head of the Chem
istry department, and now on leave
of absence, was sent to the Azores
to report meteorological conditions
for starting the NC-4 on its famous
trip across the Atlantic. The accu-
racy of his deductions based on scien-
tifc investigation has proven beyond
doubt that 1t. Anderson is the
man for his present responsible posi-
ton. He has been chosen by Capt.
Reed to accompany him on the trip
through the Panama Canal and up
the Pacific coast. 1t. Anderson, as
presiding officer on the mother ship
Isabel" precedes Capt. Reed, timing
his advance in according to favorable
weather conditions.
Nearly all teachers of last year
havereturned and several new teach
ers and assistants have been added
to the Faculty.
The old timer walking about OBJ
served that a new flight OF stairs
await invitation at the West end OF
Virginia Hall, and that the campus
has had a hair cut and the flower beds
are in applc-pie order, Speaking OF
apple pie reminds US that Mrs. W.
C. Clemens, who is noted for her
good cooking along with other accom-
plishments, is to rule the culinary de-
partment of the college household.
Dean Hirschman and Prof. Hatha-
way remained at home in Tusculum
during the summer and gave much OF
their time to college interests.

for War Criticism

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1-Sergt.
Walter P. Ford, who lost an arm in
the battle of Scissors, last night con-
fessed the killing of Otto Wunderlish,
according to the police.
One sentence stood out in Ford's
simple statement:
81 was about to leave the room"
he said, "when Wunderlish said, i
lost all my relatives in the war, ex-
cept my mother and sister, and you
are one of those responsible for it. "
Ford, who is now quartermaster
sergeant, enlisted in the army six
years ago at Jefferson Barracks, Mo.

Bewley to Take
Marquardt Place

MANILA, P. l., Aug 29.-Luther
B. Bewley, assistant director of edu-
cation for the past three years, was
yesterday named by Governor Yeater
acting director of that bureau, the
appointment being made effective
July /, the date upon which DR.. Mar
quardt gives up the dictatorship to
assume the duties Of Philippine edu-
cational agent in the United States.
The announcement made yesterday,
it is predicted in official circles, will
soon be followed by another telling
of Mr.. Bewley's ad interim appoint
ment as director of education.
In the event of Mr.. Bewley's Sc
lection for permanent head of the
bureau, Mr.. Osias, who has been Sec
ond assistant director and is now re-
turning to the islands with the men,
bers of the Filipino mission, is slated
for the assistant dictatorship. The
position of second assistant director
will thus be left vacant and there is
considerable conjecture regarding the
identity of the person who will be
picked to fill it. Among the Ameri-
cans most prominently mentioned for
the post is City Superintendent of
Schools Bordner, and in this connec-
ton it is pointed out that both Direc-
tors Marquardt and Bewley stepped
from the city superintendency into
the general Offices of the bureau.
Mr.. Bordner is at present in the
United States on assignment in con-
nection with the securing of Ameri-
can teachers for the bureau.
Mr.. Bewley, who becomes acting
director of the bureau of education
on Tuesday, entered the teaching
force of the insular government in
1901. He was assigned to duty in
Ambos Camarines as a teacher and
was later made principal of the prov
incial school there. Still later he be-
came division superintendent Of
schools of the province and from that
position was transferred to the divis-
ion superintendency of Cebu. He
succeeded Director Marquardt when
the latter left the Manila city schools
and followed hi mimic the bureau of
education offices here when Charles
Magee left the bureau to become in
sular purchasing agent in 1915. He
has been first assistant director Of
the bureau since that time.
Director Bewley, in addition to his
close and comprehensive knowledge
of classroom work and school admin
istration, is deeply interested in the
athletic development of the pupils
and is counted upon to take great i'm
terest in the physical training fea-
lures of the curriculum.

dent today by granting an interview

HANG FIRE ON CHOICE
OF THIRD POLICE SERGEANT

Appointment of the third sergeant on
the Norwich police force seems to be
hanging fire, although, according to
some of those interested, the bill au-
thorizing this appointment was signed
by the governor on April Is.
Several weeks ago or so it was pre-
dicted that there would be no appoint
ment made until after election. It Is.
currently reported that the police com
mlssloners are at a deadlock over the
appointment with Alderman Peter
Either solid for one man whose ap-
pointment would please his constitu-

five or six candidates. and Councilman

The three police commissioners were

council meeting. They held another
session after the council had been out

third. which was a very short one. af-

that the, races cannot -be held, as the
