Sunervision and Instruction

The work in the district schools none of which has more than SIX grades, is governed by new course of study and prepared by the superin- tendent. Although this course gives for each grade and subject the man topics to be covered and in some cases suggestions as to details, 1t lowers materially the standards for accomp- lishment and gives to teachers fewer directions.
 The interpretation of this course of study to the teachers has been almost

Physical Conditions

The district buildings all show evi- dences of neglect The janitor ser vice is uniformly poor, as evidenced by smutty windows, dirty floors and unkempt yards and grounds.
 The schools are unevenly heated and poorly ventilated The stoves are us- ually not jacketed and window boards ar other simple means of ventilation lacking.
 Conditions at the Upham district are wretched. The lighting is entirely inadequate. Suitable ventilation IS ai- most impossible. The outbuildings are in urgent need of repair; only one is usable.
 The buildings at Fabyan and Thomp- son are deteriorating through neglect of the minor repairs needed each sea- son.

Attendance

The attendance has been good in nearly all districts. Monthly reports are made by teachers to the superin- +andent. who forwards these to one of the state compelling agents.
 The registers are generally neat and correct. In several instances, however, teachers have never been supplied with the 1919 register and are using one of the 1908 or 1909 ed ition.
 Frequently the registers are not at tested on pages and 5 where pupils are enrolled. It is important that thls receive attention.

Do Not Wish to Be Turned
OUer to the United States.
By the Associated Press.

ST. THOMAS, Virgin Islands, Oct. IS
Chambers of Commerce of the British
West India Islands, representing pro-
ducers, merchants and other residents
Of these British possessions, are urging
the adoption of a set of resolutions
objecting to the proposal of Lord Roth
ermere. that some of the British West
India colonies should be sold to for
eign power (the United States) to help
liquidate the British war debt.
Lord Rothermere. brother of Lord
Northcliffe. suggested the possible dis
posal of the Bermudas. the Bahamas
and some of the West India Islands to
the United States to meet the British
financial obligation to America. He
assumed that the American Government
might be willing to acquire these
Islands and perhaps British Guiana and
British Honduras in liquidation of part
Of Great Britain's American war liab'li-
ties This suggestion never received the
endorsement of the British Government
in any public announcement. The news
papers controlled by Viscount North
cliffe and Lord Rothermere have for
some time been advocating extreme
means to reduce the enormous debt piled
up by Great Britain during the war.

SCHOOL CHILDREN IN
PANIC; DOG BITES IL
Several Faint When Canine
Chases Them Around the
Classroom

Twelve school children were bitten
yesterday by stray dog. which barked
and snapped his way among class of
thirty-five children in the parochial
school of the Church of Our Lady of
Good Counsel. Madison street and Ralph
avenue, Brooklyn.
Sister Mary James was in charge Of
the class when the dog rotted into the
room and by his mad antics threw the
children into a panic. They fed into
closets and wardrobes. jumped on desks
and radiators. Some tainted.
AS the dog chased the children around
the room their screams grew so loud that
pedestrians and chauffeurs of automo-
biles passing the school rushed into the
building.
Parolman Albert Anderson of the
Ralph avenue station, on duty at the
crossing in front of the school. hurried
to the scene. He met Father Peter A
Donahue, pastor of the church, on the
stairs, and together they went to the
classroom. Anderson told the priest to
sound the alarm for fire drill. and the
800 pupils in other classrooms marched
to safety.
The dog, meanwhile, continued to
dash around the room. Anderson was
afraid TO fire his revolver for fear of
hitting one of the children. He, Father
Donahue, Sister Mary James and others
carried the children, out of the class
room. The patrolman then went after
the dog and beat him with his night
stick.
DIR. Oransky of Bushwick Hospital was
summoned and treated the children who
had tainted. The twelve who had been
bitten were taken to the Bushwick Hos
pital for treatment. They were Mar
garet Mcnamara, -; Helen Tuliy, IL /;
Alice Patterson, II ; Natalie Williams, /;
Regina Donnelly. IL Kathryn Morrissey.
s; Genevieve Burke, IL; Grace Duggan,
IL: Celia Cannon, 10; Mary Halle, IL ;
Veronica Barr, 9. and Elinor Barrett, IL.
The dog was taken to the Ralph ave-
nue. station pending a trip to the Board
of Health for examination to see II 1t
had rabies.
Hospital officials would give no report
as to the condition of the children. The
police said they did not think any of
them were bitten badly.

For this 1t is essential that the two
peoples know each other better. For
tunstely no people more than the Ameri-
cans are willing to be enlightened. more
anxious to be Just In their Judgments,
wise in their attitude.
my policy, therefore, is clearly laid
down-to promote an intimate knowl-
edge between the two peoples. The
Americans already know the italian peo-
pie as magnificent, sober workers. They
need to appreciate also Italian culture
and social evolution, springing from the
ancient trunk OF Italy's noble traditions
America needs to be put in posi-
ton to measure more exactly Italy as
an essential element in the future Eu-
ropean settlement. She needs also to
persuade herself that Italy, despite the
present grave situation and the diff
culties common to all nations partici-
pating in the war, is among those who
have the elements to overcome the
crisis sooner because of the solidarity
of her economic structure and also be-
cause OF the strength coming from her
peoples capacity for work.
Reciprocal esteem and knowledge be-
tween these two peoples. completing the
natural sympathy already existing be-
tween them, will generate an at
mosphere indispensable for that economic
collaboration which Italy needs, like the
other European States. On the other
hand. II America is deprived of Euro
pean markets her economic life will be
congested ''
