Runaway Circus Elephant Lost
for Keeps in Southern Swamp

Wilmington, n. c., Oct. 1.-THE
big circus elephant that effected a
second escape from her keepers here
last night had disappeared today in
the semi-tropical jungle along the
Brunswick River, where residents
said there was little chance Of her
recapture.
In her second break for liberty the
elephant swan the Cape Fear River,
and at latest report to the Whining
ton police had penetrated far into the
swamps lying between the Cape Fear
and the Brunswick. Three keepers
went in pursuit, but the vegetation
is so dense and the danger from alli-
gators so great that their excursion
encountered constantly increasing OBJ
stacles.
The big animal first became fright
ened by the barking of dogs, when
she was being loaded into her cage
on Monday night. She chased her
canine tormentors through several
back yards and then took off for the
Greenfield Lake amusement park,
where she 1was found stuck fast in n

EDUCATIONAL TESTS
In OUR SCHOOLS
Teachers Are Studying Capabilities
OF Their Pupils-New Methods
To Advance Education In
This County.

The Teachers in the Elementary
Schools of Worcester County are this
week studying the achievement of
their pupils in reading and arithme-
tic as a result of standardized educa-
tional tests in those subjects which
were given to all of the pupils in
grades three to seven inclusive. The
tests were given under the auspices
OF the State Department of Educa-
ton by Miss |. Jewell Simpson, of
the Bureau of Educational Measure
ments; Mr.. A. C. Humphreys, Super
intendent of, Worcester County
Schools; Miss Mary Il. Pusey, Su-
pervisor; Miss Lucy n. Stagg, At
tendance Officer; Miss Willie Shock
ley and Miss Annie Ross, teachers;
and Miss Cook, of Baltimore.
In the large graded schools of the
county, afternoon meetings have al
roady been held with the teachers.
At these meetings the answer papers
were scored by the teachers and care
fully studied for the purpose of find
ing out particular types of errors
made by the pupils. The results
were then shown in the form Of
graphs, comparing the performance
of the Worcester County children in
reading arithmetic in each grade with
the performance of children through
out the United States, these particu-
lar tests having been given to hun
dreds of thousands of boys and girls
in different parts of the country, and
to as many as 10000 children in the
Maryland counties. The schools of
Worcester as a whole seem to make
a better showing in arithmetic than
in reading, although in certain in
stances good work is being done in
both subjects. Tables have also been
made showing the amount of over
ageness in each school, and the per-
formance of the children will be
studied in connection with their ages.
For instance, in some schools of the
county the children are a year older
in certain grade than is the case in
other schools. The over-age problem
will be discussed with the teachers
and possible means of improving the
situation will be suggested.
On Friday of this week, all of the
elementary teachers of the county
will meet in Snow Hill for an all day
conference with Mr. Humphreys and
Miss Simpson, at which time the re-
suits of the countrywide survey will
be discussed, fundamental principles
involved in the teaching of reading
and arithmetic will be reviewed, and
definite suggestions will be made to
improve methods of teaching these
subjects. The plan contemplates that
the teachers will put forth every
effort TO bring their classes up to
standard between now and May when
another test will be given to measure
progress.
