Good Work of Women in Schools.
From the Harrisburg Patriot.
The readers of the Patriot are well in-
formed regarding the olendid svcoess of
Mrs. Ella Young as Superinicnacat of
Schools of Chicago and those specially
interested in educational matters know
something of the new t that has re-
vived and National Edu-
aational Association, since she was el
* bresident of it at the annual meeting in
”
1910.
The Patriot has recently referred to the
lent service rendered the schools in
Philadelphia by Anna Hallowell and Mary
E. Mumford, as members of the central
board of control, officially known as the
Board of Education.
For eighteen years Anna Parker was
County Superintendent of Henry County,
Jowa, and did much expeptionally good
work that no man could sucessfully run
against her.
In Van Buren county, in the same State,
a Republican st Miss Ella
Meredith was elected and re-elected Coun-
ty Superintendent on the Democratic
ticket, and will hold the place as long as
she wants it, because the voters of the
county realize that she does the work
Better than any man among them would

The pers of Farmington, Iowa,
agree that a schools of their town never
before had such intelligent and efficient
supervision as they have had since Mrs.
Newbold and Mrs. Knight have been
serving on the school board.
These are mere typical instances, which
might be many times multiplied, of the
efficiency of women in executive and ad-
ministrative positions in our public school
system.
Bellefonte has now the opportunity to
elect two women to the School Board,

work and the voters of the town are
asked to consider well this request of our

The new Grange hall is about ready for the

J. H. Rishel, who has been ili for the last two
months, is mending quite rapidly.
S. L. Condo is erecting quite an imposing build-
ing for his carriage and wagon warehouse.
Our town has been run down with candidates
during the week, about a dozen per day. Some
will be mightily disappointed.
W. G. Gramley, proprietor of the Wheatland
dairy, left on Saturday last for New York State
to purchase cows and other stock.
Bryan says there is no harmony in the Demo»
cratic party. There certainly would not be if he
had anything to do with it. Fortunately, we are
rid of him.
Ezra Finkel, of Rote, formerly of this place, is
locating here again. He is hauling lumber on
«, his lot on the Avenue to erect a new residence.
The barn is already up. We are glad to have Mr
Finkel return.

is not yet exactly in shape to talk about. Possibly
it will be like the hosiery factory starting herea

enterprise will not meet with a similar fate.
Birds are now flying South, so some of our
weather prophets predict an early and severe

some women that a cow in a neighboring field

Magazine.
A thin ship's company was drawn
up on the deck of the battleship Suf-
fren, in the harbor at Toulon, France,
to answer the roll call of the crew
of the ill-fated Liberte, which was de-
stroyed by explosion and fire twenty-
four hours earlier.
The survivors of the disaster, with
the exception of those in the hospital,
are temporarily quartered on the Suf-
fren. When the name of an absent one
was called some one of his comrades
responded “dead,” “hospitaled” or
“missing.”
An official staement, giving the cas-
ualties in the loss of the Liberte,
places the dead at 235 and the injured
| at 88, with one man missing.
! The preliminary explosicns gave the
men warning and many of them threw
| themselves into the sea and were
picked up by small boats and taken
| to the other ships of the squadron or
, ashore.
| Several small boats which had gone
| from the other warships to the aid of
| the Liberte sank when the final ex-
i plosion occurred. Twenty men were
killed and fifty injured on board the
; Democratie and there were fatalities
! on the Verite and Republique.
The Republique was damaged by a
| flying piece of the Liberte’s armor
| and was obliged to dock hastily.

Edward H. Schubardt shot and killed
his wife Gertrude at a canning factory
pear Collington, Prince George county,
Md. He escaped for a time in the sur-
rounding woods, only to shoot himself
when surrounded by a posse. Schu-
hardt was brought to a Baltimore hos-
pital, where two bullets were remov-
ed from his body. The surgeons ex-
pressed the belief that he would re-
cover. Domestic troubles are given as
the reason for the shooting.
Increased Savings Banks Deposits.
There was 7,493,458 depositors, hav-
ing $3,762,401,625, June 7, in the saving
banks of the United States, according
to a statement issued by Comptroiler
of the Currency Murray. The increase
in depositors, compared with June,
1910, was only 12,000, but the depos-
its increased $100,000,000. All but 21
of the $33 savings banks are in New
England and the eastern states.
Gas Kills Three Men.
Three men were killed and two were
almost suffocated, while several oth-
ers were overcome when vitriol gas
leaked into a room at the Grasselli
Chemical company's plant, Cleveland,
TEETER

two men who were overcome nearly
succumbed to the gas in risking their
lives to drag out the three others. |
Loses His $1000 riog.
A loss of about $1000 has been sus- |
tained by Dr. Vallie Hawkins, of Fawn |
Grove, near York, Pa. through the |
death of a thoroughbred Berkshire
hog, which was either injured or ove~
come by the heat while enroute to the 1
these, as well as Commander Jaures, |
were ashore at the time of the explo-
sion. '
The first alarm of fire was followed |
by four successive explosions of in|
creasing intensity as the fire neared |
the powder magazines, when a deafen-
ing explosion literally tore the great |
warship to pieces and sent her to the |
bottom a mass of twisted wreckage.
The force of the explosion was 80
great that huge fissures were opened
in the steel armor and framework of
the warship. A piece of armorplate’
was hurled against the cruiser Re-
publique with great force, damaging
her plates and causing her to dock
hurriedly.
Scores of bodies were hurled high
{nto the air, with huge fragments of
framework, armor, bursting shells and
the suffocating smoke from the ex-
ploded magazines. !
On the first explosion the men rush-'
ed from their quarters and from 100:
to 200 sought safety in plunging over- |
board. But the great body of men, |
officers and crew, remained on the |
ship, held by the discipline that had |
called them to quarters, and were |
hurled high in air or into the water as
the culminating explosion tore the
ship into fragments.
When the fire was discovered it did |
not appear to be serious, but it gained |
a quick advantage over the squad of
sailors sent to extinguish it. Suddenly,
without warning, the flames reached |
the magazines, which had not been’
flooded on account of the apparently
trifling nature of the blaze.
The force of the explosions were ter- |
rific. They shook the vessel fore and
aft, each one seemingly stronger than |
that preceding, opening up great fis-
sures in the armor and framework of |
the vessel.
The vessel immediately became a |
mass of fire and smoke, and soon al-
most demolished by the terrific deton-
ations, sank to the bottom of Toulon
harbor.
Scores of the seamen died in their! we
berths. Many of those injured leaped |
in to the water and drowned before
the boats from the other ships in the |
| roadstead could reach them. |
The carnage in the explosions was |
worse than could ever have occurred |
fn an actual naval engagement. The |
| first crash came when the crew was
| for the most part dispersed in various |
| sections of the vessel. They were with
out warning of their danger. {
| Men below, who had not been awak- |
| ened, were killed in their sleep Oth-
ers, awakened by the explosion, start-
ed to jump overboard and were caught
by the second detonation. i
From every side scores of sailors |
leaped overhoard and swam frantically |
i for safety, but scarcely more than 100 i
| had plunged into the water before the
serieg of detonation: culminated in
' the terrific explosion that seemed to
tear out the side of the great steel
| vessel, which swayed over to one gide !
| and swiftly sank.
Within a few minutes bodies and
. wreckage were floating about in the
i disturbed waters that splashed around
| the upper works. In a wide circle
around the spot where the craft had
floated so proudly a few minutes be-
fore the seamen who escaped death |
were struggling desperately and small |
boats were picking them up as fast as
they could be reached.
Nearly every veszel of the squadron
lost some men from the parties sent
to the aid of the Liberte. The Verite, a
sister ship, was moored nearest, be-
ing about 225 yards from the burning |
battleship. Eight of the Verite's men
were wounded by flying fragments
blown from the Liberte or by pieces
of bursting shells.
