LAST BARRIER IN PANAMA CANAL
BEING REMOVED.
Waters of Gatun Lake Are Now Cut
ting Their Way Into the
Culebra Cut.
Colon, Panama. With a deep roar
and a rumble, resembling heavy
artillery firing at a distance, several
thousands pounds of dynamite in
thirty charges were- exploded Thurs
day in the Camboa dike, allowing the
watT! of Gatun lako to run through
into1 Culebra cut.
After tho smoke and dust of the
heavy charge had cleared away,
steam dredges were immediately put
to work dredging out the channel.
When this work Is completed and the
wpter fn Gatun lake has risen to a
suuiclent height to Hood Culebra cut
toJiie 45-foot level, tho Panama canal
wilLjbe virtually ready for navigation.
Although tho blowing up of the Gam
boa, dike Thursday might be termed
the. final step in tho completion of
tho canal, in that it removed the re
maining barrier with the exception of
tho locks, it was devoid of any spec
tacplar setting. Several days ago the
fiodt water from Gatun lako was led
fafto Culebra cut through pipes, this
water acting as a cushion for the ex
plosion Thursday. The charges of
unite were distributed in such a
Ulner as to merely loosen the mate-
composing the dike, allowing the
vri(tfcr to trickle through and cut its
own Channel.
Yiile the waters of Gatun lake now
flojv north into the Atlantic and south
into the Pacific, much work yet re
nuilus to bo done buforo heavy
drought vessels can be sent from "one
ocean to tho other. Therefore, it
mild not bo consistent, according to
Goethals. to make a snectacle of
"yb-jQlnlng of tho waters of the Atlan
tic and the Pacific." So everything
wflp quietly prepared and Just as (julet
1$ executed. The spurts of mud and
sflll thrown up by tho explosion of giant
bfcu;tn are so common on the cunal
tffat no particular attention is paid
toMthem.
BIB POLICE SUM OP
New York Officials Will Appoint Five
Hundred New Men Just Tyrned
Out of School.
New York City. What is said to
be. the biggest polico shakeup which
Jfew York has known will bo effected
duting the next few days by the up
rooting of all the policemen in the
upper West Sldo tenderloin section
and, replacing them with 500 young
men just turned out of the polico
schools. Tho plan of the polico com
missioner is to experiment In estab
lishing a model polico district in what
is a, most important section, being
made up of many of tho city's largest
hotels, apartment houses and places of
amu&emont. All tho police now doing
duty thero will bo transferred.
AH of the 500 recruits are under 30
yeara of age. They have been schooled
unller Capt. B. J. Kohleiy U. S. A., the
physical training expert at West
Point Commissioner Waldo says:
"lilioy have beon taught the necessity
of clean, honorable and efllclcnt serv

GOMPLETEOHIQ RURAL SURVEY
Show In One-Room Country Schoola
In 45 Counties That Less Than
2 Per Cent of Pedagogues
Are College Graduates.
Columbus, O. Figures showing the
preparation of school teachers for
their work, their educational fitness
and training are shown in the flrst
preliminary report of the school sur
vey commission, ju3t filed.
One-Room Country Schools.
Taking tho one-room country schools
of 45 counties, it is shown that less
than 2 per oent of thf teachers are col
lege graduates, only 14 per cent have
dono any college work, 34 per cent
have graduated from high school, 29
per cent have had partial high school
work, 16 per cent have had no educa
tional training above the eighth grade,
and- nearly 4 per cent havo not com
pleted eighth grade work.
In tho central and consolidated dis
tricts G per cent havo completed a col
lego course, 12 per cent have had some
college training, 34 per cent havo com
pleted high school work, 32 per cent
have had partial high school training,
while 12 per cent havo stopped with
theleighth grade and S per cent have
not 'completed the eighth grade of
work.
Education Scarce Article.
Thn figures run almost in proportion
through the special district school,. tho
village elementary, the city elemen
tary and the high school. Two per
cent of tho new teachers starting work
this fall had not completed eighth
grade work. These figures cover tho
work of about 3,000 teachers.
The survey also disclosed a plain
violation of the law In that teachers
are employed for high school work
who hold the state elementary one
year certificate. There are teachers
holding such certificates at work in
all grades of the high schools.
In 45 counties, with 542 teachers re
porting, it is shown nearly 6 per cent
,of the teachers have only state ele
mentary one-year certificates and do
not come inside the legal qualifications
for high school work.
These figures cover slightly more
than half the counties of the state.
Few Attend College.
The lack of thorough preparation
for the work of teaching, shown by
the lack of years spent in school, is
one if the facts that was expected.
With two out of each 100 country
teachers having college training and
with 3 per cent not having completed
eighth grade -work, the lafck of trained
talent is shown plainly.
These figures are for the one-room
country schools. With nearly 6 per
cent of the high school teachers hold
ing an elementary one-year certificate
to teach, the lowest grade certificate
issued, the lack of trained ability for
high schools is shown.
In the same grouping, statistics for
the entire state are being prepared
and will be included in the report to
the general assembly.

ruff of New York, who died recently,

Four-Year-Old Lad Performs
Astounding Feats.
Remarkable Child Is Able to Indicate
Every Country on the Map
and Name It Without
Hesitation.
Detroit, Mich. "The boy with the
mirror brain" is what they call four-year-old
George Herbert Van Vleet
His exceptional mental activity dates
back to early babyhood.
At tho age when the average
youngster'8 vocabulary consists of a
series of sounds that no one but a
doting parent could by any stretch of
the imagination construe as repre
senting even "googoo," Georgo was
talking distinctly, repeating words
that would stump many a grownup.
By the time ho was 16 months old
ho astonished physicians who had
been attracted by stories of his ability
when such simplo words as spondy
lootheraphy, polycotyledon, metaptery
goid, limnanthaceae rolled off his
.tongue as easily as though thoy con
tained but one syllablo. Just turned
four, there is not a word in tho Eng
lish language that having heard once
ho will not repeat with astonishing
clearness of pronunciation.
He has never been taught to read.
AH letters look alike to him when
they are coupled together, yet here is
a feat sufficient to counfound those
who would attribute his powers to
any training he may have received.
Take a map of the world, spread It
out in front of him, arm him with
a toothpick all geniuses havo their
little eccentricities, and his consists
of a partiality for a toothpick to be
used as a pointer and he will Indi
cate every country on the map and
name it without a second's hesitation.
He knows the capitals of many of
these and the chief cities as well.
' One of his pastimes is sitting down
with a geography and his toothpick
and locating out-of-the-way lands that
have at some time o'r other been
pointed out to him.
When it comes to history thero is
scarcely a question of common knowl
edge that he is unable to answer. He
can name all tho presidents.
In the Van Vleet home is a phono
graph, with probably 80 disc records.
Take one of these, mention the piece
on the obverse side and he will imme
diately tell you the title of tho selec
tion on the reverse, going through tho
entire list without faltering.
His familiarity with colors is no
less astonishing,, It being impossible
to puzzle him In defining even the
most delicate shades.

HAS 'BOH BR!'
TAFT'S JITLE CLEAR
Roosevelt the Man of Trickery
at Chicago.
His Efforts, for His Own Interests, to
Oust Delegates Regularly Chosen.
Can Not Surely Have Been
Forgotten.
It Is not onsy to follow the rea
soning which Interprets as a progres
sive victory that Is, a victory for the
' so-called Progressive party tho ac
tion of tho Now York Republicans In
declaring for a now basis of ropre-
! sentation for national conventions.
The Progressives did not originate
the proposition. It has been In the
minds of leading Republicans for
yeara. Thomas C. Piatt, M. S. Quay
and Mark Hanna all favored it. They
saw, as others did, that, with nothing
to offer tho presidential candidate on
election day, tho south had far loo
much to say in the choosing of the
candidate. On that account, tbey
urged on moro than one occasion the
reduction of southern representation
In Republican conventions; and men
who now call themselves Progressives
gave them no support whatever.
That the proposition has more
Btrougth today than formerly is due
almost wholly to tho action of tho
Progressives last year In their efforts
to tamper with tho south's power in
tho Chicago convention In tho Inter
ests of Mr. Roosevelt. The seats of
delegates regularly chosen for Mr.
Taft were contested upon the flimsiest
pretexts, and strong influences exert
ed to substitute Roosevelt men. It
was an Industry, financed by the
Roosevelt organization.
But it failed. It was so "raw" so
transparently repugnant to tho code
of fair dealing that leading Roose
velt supporters on the national com
mittee revolted. They would not have
It; and, unable to secure the south
ern vote by fraud, Mr. Roosevelt was
defeated for the Republican nomina
tion. '
Nor does the Progressive character
ization of tho southern states as
"rotten boroughs" fit the case. In
times past some southern delegates to
Republican national conventions sold
their votes for spot cash. But did no
delegates from other sections wheth
er we consider Republican or Demo
cratic conventions ever sell their
votes for promises of office f And,
In morals strictly considered, what is
the difference between the two trans
actions? "Rotten" as the south may have
been at other times, she(was not "rot
ten" at Chicago laBt year, but, against
mnch "rotten" temptation, stood firm
for the instructions that had been
given at the time her delegates were
regularly chosen. And this fact en
tered into the assurance which Chair
man Root gave to Mr. Taft in his
speech of notification, that his title to
the nomination was as clean as that
of any candidate for tho presidency
tho Republican party had ever pre
sented to tho country.
Republican Progressives Fading Away
Last year Mr. Roosevelt received
145,000 votes in New Jersey. This
year the two contesting candidates
for the Progressive gubernatorial
nomination received a total of les3
than 8,000 votes. It is true that un
der a court ruling which declared that
no participant In the Democratic or
Republican primaries last year could
this year vote the Progressive ticket,
thousands of would-be Progressive
voters were disbarred, because last
year, before tho third party was
formed, they voted as Republicans.
At tho same time, this fact does not
wholly account for the disappearance
of 137,000 votes. In many precincts
In the city of Trenton, for Instance,
not one Progressive vote was cast
and more than one editorial expres
sion in the New Jersey newspapers is
to the effect that the fight will bo be
tween Stokes and Fielder. It is also
asserted that the Progressive party
is rapidly vanishing as a political
factor in the state.
New """griff Political Concoction.
So far, then, as the Democratic tar
iff being hullt on tho lessons of expe
rience nnd tho advice of experts Is
concerned, It Is further from being a
scientific tariff than the ono It is to
supplant. It Is a purely political con
coction designed to redeem a platform
pledge as a means of preserving party
capital nnd Intrenching the party in
power. The test of time alone will
tell whether, even from this point ot
view, it is to bo a success or failure.
