BREAKS COLLARBONE
IN THIRD ACCIDENT
OF PAST FEW WEEKS

A Nemesis that will not be ap-
peased seems to pursue Harold
Wing of Bridport. Within the past
few weeks he has been fined for
speeding in a friends car and has
damaged his own machine in an
accident that ditched him and two
companions. His misfortunes are
coming upon him in the proverbial
battalion, apparently, for yester-
day he fell from a farm roller and
broke his collar bone. His horses
became frightened of a sudden and
threw him from the seat. He got
entangled in the reins and was
drawn under the end of the roller
which passed over his shoulder
He was not otherwise seriously in-
iured.

Dry Weather Getting Serious

1t is time somebody PACED for J
Pluvius. The dry spell of weather
which has continued with but negli-
gible interruption for more than a
month is. however, no joke among the
farmers. Fields are terribly parched,
in some places taking on an autumnal
brown instead of spring green. Lawns
in Middlebury village are getting some
bald spots that seem past remedy.
Everybody is ready to vote the wet
ticket, now, weatherly speaking.

THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE TAKES ISSUE WITH DR.. COLLINS
TO MOTIVE FOR DISCONTINUING PRACTICE TEACHERS

that of the local college
After making our intentions thor
oughly understood at said meeting, to
discontinue the practice teachers, we
received the communication dated
April 81, 1920, referred to in Prof. E.
d. Collins article published last week,
wherein he said
"I think that in view of the probable
difficulty in securing teachers this
spring, l ought to inform you at once
that it is not the intentions OF the
Department of Pedagogy to ask for a
continuation OF practicing teaching un-
der the conditions obtaining in the
High School, and that l shall wish
someone else to take my place on the
committee to secure new teachers"
Said communication was written
nine days after the ultimatum Of our
intentions to discontinue the practice
teachers had been given by your COM
mittee. The report of the expert O.
referred to in said article of DE-. Col
lins, was not rendered until June, 1920
More might be written, ii it were
necessary, to show that it was your
committee that took the initial step to
discontinue the practice teachers-a
system disapproved by every one not
affiliated with the local college, who
had any experience herewith

Inc UnlCed states govern ment has determined to con struct up-to-date carload ter minals at Memphis for tht huge towboats and barges o. the Mississippi-W arrior Serv ice which stop here weekly or their trips from St. Louis t( New Orleans and vice versa The sum of $450,000 has beer appropriated for this purpose and will soon be available The city will arrange to pro vide site, and it is expected that work will begin in the comparatively near future up on this last step to make Mem phis one-hundred per cen river port.
 The city authorities have already provided municipa terminals for handling botl carload and Hess than carload freight. The people of Mem phis recently voted a million dollars wotrh of bonds fol this purpose. The city issued half of these bonds and pur chased and equipped the ole River and Rail storage plant Improvement of the city ter minals is going ahead con stantly, and with the new government terminalas there will be ample facilities fol handling a large volume o: both incoming and outgoing freight.
 The Chamber of Commerce has long realized that th' economic development of tht great Mississippi Valley wa closely related to the problem of water transportation. I has been one of the leading opponents of this idea, ane was active in urging this view upon the Mississippi Valley Association when that bod! was formed. The other citie' of the Valley saw the cog nency of the argument a once, and the Valley Associa tion is today one of the strong est champions of inlant waterway development in thu entire United States.
 That the renewed activit, upon the Mississippi River i attracting nationwide atten tion is evidenced by the as signment by the Countr.
