A SCHOOL SURVEY THAT

The School Board Has Already Cor.

Music Forum last night. will be di-ap-
pointed.
The state Superintendent Of Public In.
struction took especial pains to avoid. so
far as possible. antagoniEins any one. lie
dealt with facts and he lnid down principles
which should guide those in charge Of the
schools. The facts spoke for themselves and
the principles are those which experts rec
ogniZc rs sound.
The survey was made durin: the school
wear beginning in September 1870. and
ended in June of last year. When tho in
vestieators began to attract the attention
Of those in charge OF the schools 20 the pre-
vailing conditions by their inquiry into them
the authorities began to take thought and
10 institute reforms on their own initiative.
II thus happens that before the full report
Of the survey is made public some OF its
recommends ions have already been adopted.
DR.. Finesan explained that the report would
indicate bv footnotcs or otherwise where the
abuses criticized had been cured.
II nothing else results than the awakening
of the local school authorities 10 their re-

There are three general criticisms which
Or. Fnegar makes that deserve attention
The first applies 70 the practice of employ
ing almost exclusively teachers and super
intendents who have received their training
in this city He does nor charge that these
teachers are poorly trained but he does say
that the practice prevents the schools from
getting the benefit Of tho training and tcnch-
ing methods of other cities. where experts
rs we'll qualified as those here hav" been
studying the same problems and arriving at
different solu ions.
The practice which hc urges is that t"l-
lowed in al! the large colleges. which de-
l!berate,y recruit their faculties III part from
the graduates Of other colleges in order to
prevent the institutions from falling into II
rur and continuing to do in this decade what
seemed good in the last dr'ade.
Or. Fnegnn suggests that IN order 10
bring about the rctorm il should be decided
that hereafter at least % per cent of the
new teachers employed each year should be

CLYDE River Power Co. Rushing Work
in East Charleston

The constructing operations of the
Clyde River Power Co., which is
erecting the new high tension steel
tower line is making rapid progress.
This week the men at the head OF
this company, with force of help,
have begun operations to increase
the storage capacity tEcho Lake at
East Charleston. The old mill and
dam has been torn down and removed
and a new cement dam is under con-
struction. Mr.. Dray-ko. foreman OF
dam construction with the Barry
eastman Co. of Boston has arrived
and will superintend the work.
A car load of machinery and mate
rial, such as pumps, derricks and ce-
ment is on the scene and a force of 25
men who are making Mrs. Wilder's
Hotel at East Charleston their head
quarters are on the job and in order
to rush the work to completion 30
men are wanted.
By good fortune it has been dis
covered that natural stone ledge
covers the entire width of Echo Lake
outlet making solid foundation for
the new dam which will be from $50
to 200 feet in length over all.
When the dam is complete the wa
ter storage of Echo will be increased
and assure plenty of water in dry
seasons as well as will warrant con-
tinuous electric current.

will meet at 40 Broadway with a COM
mittee OF local marine underwriters on

director OF maintenance and repair, and
n. X. Ogden of the insurance division

The insurance men are understood to
be prepared to reclassify the Shipping
