 Beginning with the school year, next September, four year courses to train school teachers will be established at Rhode Island State College and Rhode Island Normal School. These new courses will necessitate the transfer of three faculty members from the
 normal school to the state college, and
 as a result of the low compensation paid to teachers and the consequent
 decline of the efficiency standard. The
 board of education hopes by offering courses at both institutions to attract prospective candidates to the teaching
 field and train them under public school provisions for the degree of Bachelor of Education. Students in the courses will have the privilege of transferring after two years comple- ton of two years study at either school to the other, and will be given
 training along academic, scientific and vocational lines.

WESTERLY

Coroner Everett A Kingsley is a very busy official at present. for in ad- dition 10 his clerical duties at the-sate capitol. and holding the Bentley in- Iuest, he is engaged in probing into he responsibility--for the death of.Ed- Fin Hoyt. This young man was a Hneman in the employ of the Wester- ly Automatic Telephone company, and was electrocuted while at work on a pole near the trolley croSsover to Pleasant View in the Watch Hill road There is an issue whether the fatality was due to the negligence of the Wes- terly Automatic Telephone company or the Westerly Light and Power com pany. At the time of his, death young Hoyt was standing on a messenger wire and made circuit that resulted in instant death swhen he took hold oi a guy wire.
 The telephone men went at that point to remove a woven rope pro- tective screen that had been .betweer the main wires for about three years This screen had become worn out and permitted the wires to sag and come in contact at intervals. It is said tc be the custom that when changes are to be made in wires. of such nature that representative workmen of al companies interei sed in the pole line participate in the work. It is under stood that was not the case in this in- stance.
 + was said soon after the fatality that while one of the telephone mer was on the way to a fuse box to shut of the electrical power. that Hoyt was
 
 about to commence when he received the electric shock that killed him. The testimony of William Sheffield. mana ger of the Westerly Automatic Tele- ul1one company was taken Friday morning.

Berlin, Sept. 1S.--Th new republic i.
finding selection of diplomats a Iea
job. OF course, it isn't entirely necos
sury that Germany make out whole
slate Of ambassadors and ministers Just
yeA, particularly If entente nations only
SEND here charge d'affaires. But, the
poliay OF the government will probably
be, il such an event,to send out charges
and aconsuls--the charge perhaps being
tho man intended for the higher post of
minister or. ambassador when fulr diplo-
matit relations with the outside world
are Resumed.
Germany's difficulty arises from the
fact that some Of the men of the old
diplomatic service would be persona
non grata at certain capitals, while the
new regime so far has not produced
smany biz prospects Of ambassadorial
size.
SO far, in connection with the Amer
lean ambassadorship, only two names
have been much mentioned Maxilian
Harden and DR.. Solf, the former colon.
ial minister and later foreign minister
lin the closing days Of lust year.
Harden hasn't change to 90 to the
Washington post. He has made more. or
less Of a name for himself in America
but that doesn't count for anything
with the present situation. Tn fact he
ism t taken seriously by the present gov
crnmcnt in that connection.
On the other hand, Solf has consider

OHIO EDUCATIONAL ENTER
PRISE IN SHANST

Notwithstanding the confusion in
China during the last few months on
account of the many political changes
a unique educational enterprise, con-
duct d by many Ohioans in the great
industrial province of Shansi, has
gone steadily forward. The collapse of
the recent attempt to make confucian-
ism the state religion of the Chinese
Republic has given the American edu-
GATORS an unparalleled opportunity.
Confucius is not at all held in dis
repute by the Chinese at large and
confucianism has, given China her
moral standard, negative moral re-
straint, but it has always destroyed
individual liberty. 1t put ancestor
worship in the place of the Deity and
so bound the Republic to the dead
past. Christianity, largely through
educational means, is steadily re-
placing Confucianism as the national
religion of the new China. Ohio's
share in this work is carried on by a
number of graduates of Oberlin Col
lege, who have established and are
maintaining in the center of Shansl
a modern educational plant, enrolling
700 boys and young men, whose
studies range from work in the Pri-
mary Grade up through the first two
years of college. John r. Mott VINO
recently visited Shansi, said "it is a
great privilege which all who can do
so should share, to assist in. develop
ing this final work which the trained
educational staff of Oberlin men and
women is carrying forward true TO
the best traditions and ideals OF the
Ohio Colleges"

1000 MILES or BUTTER

Arranged end to end in one
pound cartons, Americas butter
consumption last week would reach
four times across the continent, ex-
tending the distance of over $4,000
miles.
It is estimated that over 100000
pounds Of creamery butter are requir
ed weekly, while the current pro-
ducticn is not much over half of the
quantity required. Reserve stocks
are being used to make up the short
age in current production.
There was little change in the
amount of cream delivered to
creameries during the week, but the
prices being paid for butterfat show
the interest Of all producers in in
creased winter dairying.
Markets were generally well sup
nd with turkeys for Thanksgiving
and marketing has now commenced
for Christmas holiday trade, and as
4he trade has suggested, shipments
Should nrTiTe AZ Eastern seaboard
points not later than December goth
1t is necessary that marketing be
we'll under way by December 5th. IN
order to give killing plants an op-
pcrtunity to handle and prepare for
eastern shipments.
Indications point to the fact that
the usual quantity will be available
and in many consuming canters the
buyers are using more ducks, geese
and chickens because of the higher
prices prevailing on turkeys.
The movement of fowl and sprine
chickens has been seasonal with
lower prices prevailing due to re-
ceipts in excess of demand on this
larger eastern markets.
Receipts Of fresh eggs are INSULT.
cient to supply the current demand
and prices are ruling higher. Re.
serve stocks of eggs in storage are
larger than year ago and weekly
raductions are not as heavy as &
