CHESTER WOLLET HURT
WHEN ASH WACON UPSETS
Accident Occurred When Bear Wheel
Slipped Into Gutter on Conestoga
Street—One Horse Calked Its Left
Front Foot
Chester Wollet, a driver for the Pax
tang Hook and Ladder Company was
very painfully hurt about 9.15 o clock
this morning when he was thrown from
an ash wagon against the stone wall at
t'he residence of Joseph Gerdes, Front
and Conestoga streets.
The two iarge black tire horses of the
"Hookies" were hitched to the dump
ash wagon used in hauling asaes from
the homes iu this end of town. Wollet
had the rig loaded and started down
!'he steep Conestoga street hill from See
on, 1 to Front street. '#vst as the wagon
had passed the entrance to Gerdes'
home, the left rear wheel slipped into
the gutter with such force that the
wagon upset, throwing the driver with
some force against the stone wall. The
contact was so severe that Wollet sus
tained a gashed left cheek, a bruised and
lacerated left hip and slight internal
injuries were also reuorted.
The horses were thrown when the
wagon upset, and in regaining their feet
on the slippery ice, one of the blacks
calked its left front foot, inflicting a
painful wound.
Wollet was picked up and carried to
his home across the street where med
ical aid was summoned. The wagon was
uninjured.

SPANISTOIERET
TAUGHT YEARS ACO
Continued From First I'BRP.
in high schools, base their beliefs as to !
the benefit l'rom such courses, principal
ly upon the increasing opportunities in
the commercial fields of the Spanish-,
American republics for this countrv's
young men. The trade of South Amer- j
ica, opening to this country because of
the cutting off oti* European commerce,
is said to require more Spanish-spehk-1
ing business men now than ever before.
The letter written to the Star-Inde
pendent by Mr. Orth, pointing out the
fact that the school authorities were
emi<owered more than ten years ago to j
employ an instructor in Spanish for
the benefit, especially, of commercial !
students, is in full as follows:
Henry C. Orth's Letter
''l noticed your editorial of the!
ISth inst, headed 'Spanish in the High I
School,' and, do you know that on the j
29th of May. 1903, I (thep a member
of the School Board) introduced a reso- i
lution, which was passed, the purpose!
being the employment of an instructor !
to teach the Spanish language in the |
High schoolf The matter ended with,
the 'resolution.' My argument was as:
follows:
" 'Graduates from the commercial
section of the High school are eager
ly sought for employment by business
men on account of their proficiency in
bookkeeping, stenography an 1 type
writing.
" 'The Government by the fortune
of war. has within the past five vears,
acquired territory inhabited by people
speaking the Spanish language.
" 'The official and commercial lan
guage for generations to come, natural
ly will be of that tongue, and I ad
vance the suggestion that the study of
the Spanish language be added to" the
curriculum of thus department, there
by increasing its importance.'
"What an advantage it would have
given to our public school students, if
our school authorities had then acted!
'•lf our manufacturers and export
ers desire to trade with South America,
the islands of the Pacific Ocean ami
Mexico, we must copy the successful
tactics of the leading commercial na
tions of Kurope, where a commercial
representative must have a practical
knowledge of languages, not a swat
tering one. Better late, than never.
' 1 Respectfully,
"Henry G'. Orth.''
