A denial of the assertion that the navy yard "never built a ship within Its bid" was made public today by Captain ltob ert Ixjc Itusscll, commandant of the Phil adelphia Navy Ynrd. Samuel Knox, president of the New York Shipbuilding Company, of Camden, was credited with the statement relative to the reliability of the navy ynrd, nnd Is nlso reported to have said that tho dread nought to be built by the navy yard could never bo constructed for the contract price. 'It Is a matter of common knowledge that a ship can be constructed In a haw yard much cheaper than In n prl vnto jard," Commandant llusoll said, i "Naturally tho tlovernmcnt saves the enormous amount of money Invohcd In J taxes on private yards; there are no In terest charges that mint be Included In the bid of private yards owing to the large Investment of money Involved, nnd no Insurance premium to pay. Then, again, the Government saves a consid erablo amount on trial trips after a ship Is completed." Tho commandant also nsscrtcd that, although the navy yard bid was more than $l,CO0,000 below those of private ship yards, he Is coulldent that the olllclals who compiled the bid knew whnt they wcro nbout. Answering tho charge that tho navy ynrd iiovt completed a contract nt the contract price ho said: "Anybody Interested In tho matter can obtain tho figures In Washington.

''ay lot? a.,ittInst Gemany on account Philadelphia's cducatlonat machine is being rebuilt to meet tho demands of tho new child labor law, which becomes ef fective on January 1. Tho law Is the most drastic ever passed In Pennsylvania for the promotion of tho cause of public edu cation, and a basic change in tho organi zation of the school system will be the result. It will cost the public mnny thousands of dollnrs to enforce the act, by providing instruction to children who, under tin present regulations, n,re not required to nttend school. New teachers will neces sarily be appointed, nt higher salaries than the average teacheis now receive; new schoolhouscs must be erected, nnd mills nnd store- that now employ minors will be obliged to adjust their businesses to the requirements or discharge nil Juve nile workers. Louis Nusbaum, Associate Superintend ent of Schools, lias been appointed by the Uonid of Education of this city to estab lish educational Institutions made ncecs sniy by the act. Mr. Nusbaum hn.i made a tour of New Knglnnd and the Middle AVest nnd hns returned to this city deter mined to make uso of his observations In other Stntcs. Tho old child labor act flxed 51 hours a wcclc as the maximum number of hours for which n child under 10 could bo em ployed. I'nder the new measuro tho limit Is fixed at 51 hours. For eight of tho 31 the children must attend school, so that while the boys and girls will be paid for 51 hours' worlt they will actually per form but 13. I The school system will ho obliged to furnish a special typo of school for the children who nro affected by this eight hour clause. These are tho "continuation" ! schools originated In Germany but now established In Illinois. Wisconsin and other States. They are so called hecauso they enanle the children to "continue" their education while they are wngc- earners. ' Mr. Nusbaum has visited hundreds of I Philadelphia employers nnd discovered n remnrhable willingness to co-opernto with the school authorities In enforcing the An editorial signed by Wlllard A. Camp bell is contained In tho American Indus tries, a mngnzlne devoted to the manu facturing Interests. The editorial takes a favorable atti tude toward the recent act. It says: "The new child labor law of Pennsyl vania Is a notable work of constructive legislation In the interests of the coming generation of workers. Over 40.000 chil dren under 16 years of age nro employed In the factories, mills, about mines, In offices, stores and messenger service In this State. The records show that the majority left school before completing the sixth grade. Children so deficient In real preparation for life have very lit tlo chance to ndvance to skilled work In Industry. Probably the grentest one fac tor In this exodus of children from the public school nt this age Is discontent with the regular school work, either on tho part of the child or parents. Eco nomic necessity accounts for about SO per cent, leaving at this age, as far as Investigations made In different cities seem to Indicate. "This stream of children from the pub lic schools to factories, mills and other temporary tasks In business and Industry constitutes a grave problem for educators and a menace to Industrial development. It appears that most of these children do not obtain even the benefit of the man ual training and domestic science courses of the seventh nnd eighth grades, which constitute the only element of practical education embodied In the elemen ary school curriculum. The work obtained by children of thlsfage leads nowhere. They muy earn or 3 a week, and find themselves In a rut where they can ad vance to nothing more than a laborer's wage of 110 or 112. "Every Investigation made of child labor In this country seems to prove con clusively that the majority of child labor ers drift Into the ranks of unskilled work ers. 'The reason Is not far to seek. When a boy or girl has spent two or three years In some dead end Job and has become too big to work longer for a chllds- pay. he has acquired no training that tits for something better, and oftlmes he i has de, veloped habits that unat him for study or the pursuit of training that will lead somewhere. The chances are that In two years of child labor the boy or girl has become Inert and lacking Jn ambition. Chnrgcd With Intimidnting Workmen nnd Threatening Police NOHIIISTOWN. Pa.. Dec.
