LIST OF TEACHERS TO SOON BE READY

School Board Probably Will Approve It at a Meeting Wednesday Night. WORK IN NATURE STUDY. SUPT. MOTT THINKS FAVORABLY OF IT BUT IT IS NECESSARY TO KEEP THE SCHOOL WORK BALANCED. There will very likely be a meeting of the city school board Wednesday night. The assignment of teachers and other points in connection with the opening of the schools will be passed on at that time. Supt. Mott has already made up his roll of teachers but will not announce it until it has been passed on by the school board. Supt. Mott is undecided in regard to securing Prof. James Speed to give his course of nature study in the schools this winter. He thinks most favorably of Prof. Speed and nature study work which is now being done in the local schools is modelled after Prof. Speed's suggestions made at the first and second chautauquas. T don't want to get too much nature study in the schools", said Supt. Mott, "and in doing so crowd out the grammer, spelling and arithmetic. We have to keep the work balanced. Some patrons of the school-? do not appreciate how much broader the education of a youth now is than it was twentyfive years ago. The remark is often heard that there were better spellers and children were better hands at figures, years ago than they are row. Now a large part of this is all wrong. True, years ago about three hours each day were given to spelling and ciphering, but little or no attention was given to writing compositions and letters. The result was that in the olden days there were developed some star spellers, who knew Webster's book by heart, and that was about all they did know. "Experiments have been conducted to ascertain whether the students today are better spellers, grammarians and mathematicians than years ago and it was found that the present day students stand fuily SO per cent high er than the students of a generation back. These tests were made in Springfield, Mass., and what would hold ood there would be equally true in Indiana." Supt. Mott will take up Prof. Speed's work with the school board and should it be found advisable to bring him here, he will probably be secured for two weeks. MEDICAL SOCIETY MEETS Monthly Session Will Be Held At Court House. The Wayne County medical society will meet in regular session Wednes day at 2:00 p. m. at the court house.

BRIDGE'S ERECTION

S TO DE DELAYED Practically Certain That South Side Structure Must Wait a Year. THE COST WILL BE HEAVY. IT IS NOT DESIRED TO GO INTO DEBT BY ISSUING BONDSTWO SETS OF PLANS ARE SUBMITTED. It is almost an assured fact that this afternoon when the county council considers the project of placing a bridge over the Whitewater river at South H street, it will decide to postpone the construction of this bridge for one more year. The council will be advised to take this action by the county commissioners. Two sets of plans for the proposed bridge, prepared by a well known Indianapolis bridge engineer, have been received and were presented to tho councilmen for inspection. One plan is for a steel and concrete bridge, the estimated cost of which is placed at $163,000. The other plan calls for a bridge of solid concrete, which would last until the end of time. The estimated cost of this bridge Is placed at $240,000. The commissioners and councilmen who inspected the I lans agree that when the bridge is built it should be made of concrete. Both structures, according to the plans, would be very handsome. The concrete bridge is supported by ar ches and six immense piers. The f teel and concrete bridge is supported by four steel piers and steel girders. The engineer who prepared the plans estimates that a bridge over the liver at South II street must be at least 1130 feet in length and 85 feet above the lowest part of the river valley. On each side of the bridge it is esti mated that fills 100 feet in length must he made. Reason for Postponing. The reason for postponing the construction of the bridge for another year is given by President Wiley of the board of commissioners. Col. Wiley states that if the bridge is built at the present time it would he necessary for the county to go in debt by issuing bonds. It would also be necessary to raise the tax levy. Col. Wiley states at the present time there is$25,000 in the fund set aside for the construction of a bridge at South II street. By using the money in the fund for construction of bridges i other parts of the county there would be about $50,000 available at the present time. Col. Wiley states that the second installment of taxes this spring will increase the special South II street bridge fund to about $30,000 and he thinks that by next fall the fund would be large enough to warrant the county council authorizing the con struction of the bridge.
