Remarkable Escapes.
Barre Times.l

The collapse of a steel bridge in process
of construction over the Connecticut river
between BrattlPboro and Hinsdaic means
n considerable financial loss to some one.
presumably to the bridge contractors who
were erecting the structure for Brattle-
boro and Hinsdale: but that loss is more
than counteracted by the fact that every
one of the % men working on the struc-
ture was able to escape death by drowning
or by blows from parts of the heavy mate
rial as the bridge collapsed. Inasmuch as
the men fell into deep water. there were
grave chances of fatal outcome: and it
really was remarkable that all escaped.

It had been planned to examine Sin

Enright Defends System
For Field Day Receipts
Method Substantially Same as
in 1915, He Says; Is Under
100000 Bond as Treasurer

Police Commissioner Richard E. En-
right left a statement concerning the
management and funds of police field
day games at his office yesterday. Thic
was given out after his departure. The
method of collecting and handling
funds, he said, was substantially the
same as in 1915. Receipts and dis
bursements had been made public in
occasional pamphlets and in his annual
reports, he adds, and any insinuation
by tho Meyer Legislative committee
that there was any mismanagementw was
"a gross libel"
"The proceeds of the field day games
for 1915" he said ''were avowedly for
the purpose of uniforming and equip
ping the Police Reserves, an auxiliary
organization which supported this de-
partment during war times The total
funds raised by the games of 1918
amounted to S377 10000, all of which
was promptly deposited in the bank
and disbursed only on approved vouch-
ers. The total amount remaining in
the bank July i was s1O6,o42.69.

fund.

Teachers Will Be Unable to

With Crowded Classes

When the next high school term
opens $1,000 students will be forced
to attend in buildings designed to ac-
commodate only 1000. This means
that in seventeen of twenty-one high
schools it will be necessary to es-
tablish double-time schedule Stu
dents no longer will be permitted q

they be given the unprepared subj ects
hitherto forming q part of higher edu-
cation planned under the public school
system.
The condition is due to an absolute
cessation of high school building CON
struction during the three and half
years of the Hearst-Hy Ian Temmany
regime. Not only is this true, but it
has been established that many of the
existing buildings are in scarcely
habitable condition.
An official OF the Department of Edu-
cation in discussing these conditions
yesterday said that because of the
crowdng it would be impossible for
instructors to keep in personal touch
with students.

many poor pupils who lack the facili-
ties and opportunity for home study.
Official statistics Of the Department
of Education show that the following
high schools will go on double time
next term, when more than $1,000
students begin their studies:
High School of Commerce, two an
rexes; Stuyvesant, the entire building;
Washington Irving, entire building
George Washington, entire building;
Evander Chlds, two annexes; Morris

mentary educational purposes, and has

The crowding in this structure has
been notorious, but in addition there
is a new direct menace in the other
conditions that exist in the school be-
cause of the indifference of Mayor
Hylan's administration to make proper
allowances even for repair and condi-
tionirg.
