LAW PROTECTS BRIDGE.
p. X. X. Structure Cannot be Removed
as Flood Danger.

The Z. $. Engineer Department is not
likely to take any action relative to the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad bridge being the
cause of the recent flood in the Brandy
wine. according to Colonel J. p. Jervey,
u. s. district engineer for thi. district.
Colonel Jervey explained that II the
bridges in any stream are an obstruction
to navigation, the Secretary of War could
order notifications in the structure, but
that under existing conditions, he doubted
whether anything could be done, although
a structure is flood danger.
The Laws for the Preservation OF the
Natural Waters of the United States de-
clare that whenever the Secretary OF War
has good reason to believe that any rail-
road or other bridge now constructed Is
an unreasonable obstruction to the free
navigation of any stream, hearings can
be called by his authority for the purpose
of removing the obstruction.

TEACH SERBS ENGLISH
Now Made Compulsory Subject in
Normal Schools.
Dominating Language, Apart From
Native Tongue, Hitherto Has
Beer German.

Belgrade, Serbia.-English is being
introduced throughout the schools of
Serbia.
1t is now made a compulsory subject
in the normal schools. The first courses
in English, which were inaugurated in
Belgrade a year ago under an Ameri-
can teacher, DR.. James Wild Of Chi
cago, have yielded such excellent re-
suits that the government has decided
to make the language a part of the
curriculum of all schools.
Heretofore the dominating language
of the Serbians, apart from their ma
tive tongue. has been German. The
Germans were quick to see the advan-
tage Of introducing their language as
a means of a~cquainting the school
children with the ways aud customs of
the German people. The pupils were
given little chance to acquire the
things that go to make up the life and
culture of Anglo-Saxon civilization.
A very large proportion Of Serbia's
school teachers were killed in war, 800
having died during the Bulgarian occu-
patton. Scores of school buildings

were destroyed, and most of the school
books printed in the Serbian language
were deliberately confiscated and
burned by the Bulgars. Even Bibles
were carried off, the object of the Bull
garians being to displace all books in
the Serbian language with publications
in their own language.
Notwithstanding these disasters, out

for education in Serbia that It is a
common thing for children in the coun-
try districts to leave their homes be-
fore d~aybreak and walk for several
hours to reach school, not returning
until late in the evening. The
school buildings, owing to the ravages
OF war, often are without window
panes, heat, desks, books and even
writing material.
So great is the shortage Of teachers
and the influx of pupils that the for
