"Lost-Where do you want to go?"
had drawn up beside the curb at a
street corner in Chicopee Falls, Mass,
and was pouring over an auto Blue

as to the right street to take. 81 am

PENNSY RAILROAD BRIDGE At
WILMINGTON IS DYNAMITED
STONE, WOOD AND METAL TORN
FROM FOUNDATION BY BOMB
Officers on Lookout for Perpetrators
of DastardIy Act Who Covered
Up Their Deed UnnOticed

I'd lnelT Otcu
With a report that could be heard
all over the eastern and northern sec
tions of Wilmington and shock that
rocked houses over a wide area, es-
pecially in the immediate vicinity, to
their foundations, dynamite, evidently
in the form of bomb, was exploded
Thursday morning at 1.35 o'clock,
standard time-under the south east
ern end of the Pennsylvania elevated
railroad bridge at Fourteenth and
Bowers streets, Wilmington. One track
side line and not the main right OF
way was damaged to such an extent
that it was deemed by railroad officials
unsafe for use and no trains were run
over it Thursday. No person was in
jured as a result of the blast but many
houses along East Fourteenth street
were damaged to the extent of having
the windows demolished,plaster knock
ed from the walls, pictures shaken
from their fastenings and dishes and
kitchen utensils spilled from the
shelves and strewn about the floor.
| According to the statement of rail
road officials no trains were in the VI
cinity of the bridge at the time of the
explosion and none was due at or near
the time the blowup occurred. A sur
vey by railroad engineers later in the
morning showed that the Fourteenth
street bridge was safe and fit for trat-
fic, so that there was no interruption
in the train service over the main line
north and south. None of the girders
or supports were thrown out of line
and it was estimated that what dam
age was done to the bridge and the
side track can be replaced in a very
short time.
AS to who was responsible for the
placing of the bomb, that remains
mystery. Railroad and city police were
within a short distance of the spot al
the time the blast went off and they
were on the scene two minutes there
after, but they claim they saw no per
son in the neighborhoOd; had seen NJ
one around there for some time priol
to the explosion and saw no one run
ming from the scene, all of which con
vinced the railroad officials and th'
city police that it must have been ;
time bomb that was used.
That dynamite was used Is eviden
from the condition of the torn an,
splintered planking of the bridge, tn
twisted iron ratings and the bulginj
rails together with the fact that bii
section of solid granite was torn frOr
the top stone in the bridge abutmen
itself. 1t was literally blown asunde
from the rock by the force of the bias
and afterward was found lying on tn
sidewalk under the bridge. That tn
railroad structure was not damage
to a greater extent and the entir
trackage completely torn up is belieN
ed to have been due to the fact tina
the force of the dynamite was not cor
fined, but blew out from under tn
bridge instead of going up or dow
This is also responsible for the dan
, age that was caused to all the house
on East Fourteenth street east of tt
bridge, while houses on the west sic
of the tracks were not damaged, a
/ though they were shaken by the for'
/ of the blast.

will many times not know the way to
take. Each of you is familiar with the
way. You are familiar with the princi-
Piles underlying your work. 1t is there
fore your privilege and should be your
your privilege and should be your
pleasure to give directions at the
points of "hesitation." Would it not
be fine thing. if each Of US through
out the year could perform each task
that may fall to his lot in the spirit
of kindness, and make the law of kind
ness, the Golden Rule, a corollary of
every principle of pedagogy?
The right kind of education is today,
as it always has been, the hope of the
world. Education for service, educa-
tion for citizenship, education for the
highest happiness will solve our pres
ent and future problems in just so far
as it is accomplished. 1t is our mu-
tual task to bring about this great
thing.
Dean Russell says that he has "ten-
tatively accepted the doctrine that the
whole educational problem of state
craft is the training of efficient lead
ers and contented followers" By fol-
lowers he does not mean, however,
those who blindly obey, but those who
voluntarily cooperate" 1t seems to
me that a sense of justice is the
foundation of cooperative citizenship,
but in action it must be justice tenn
pered with mercy, and guided by the
Golden Rule. What you teach with
these great ends in view will be i'm
portant, but what you are will have a
much greater influence in making
these ends possible of attainment.
"Your actions speak so loudly that |
cannot hear what you say" is a say
ing worth carrying with you in your
work. Let all of US reconsecrate our
selves to the task that is before US,
so that at the end of the year we may
each have the joy that comes from the
completion of a years work well
done.

his views on the Towner-Sterling Edu-
cational Bill:

deliveration of the group that spon-
sored the Towner-Sterling Bill since
its inception in 1918. 1t was the de-
liberate purpose, from the start, t
seek legislation, from Congress, tha
should create Department of Educa
tion and provide federal aid to the
states for specific educational pur
poses. From the start, it was th'
conscious purpose to frame a bill tina
should secure these two main result
and at the same time avoid centralize,
federal control over the separate an
independent state systems of publ
schools.
"The Towner-S Sterling Bill, in tn
form now before Congress, clearl
