Practcally no reference is ever made | to Latin-American literature. We pay little attention to the currents of thaught of Central or South America; unmindful of the fact that important contributions have been made and are ! constantly being made in every de- partment of literary and scientific effort. “Upon you the task of developing in the youth af the country a broader understanding of the forces that have shaped American history, a keener appreciation of the significance of the development of free institutions on the American cantinent and a deeper sympathy with the aspirations of sister nations who, like ourelves, are endeavoring to translate into realities | the ideals of American democgacy.” Final Sessions. Election of officers and taking of a vote defining the attitude of the N tional Education association on com- pulsory military training in public and private schools, were the fea- tures of today's final sessions of the annual convention of that association. Dr. Robert J. Aley, president of the University of Maine, has been named by the nominating committee for the presidency. The military training question, one of the outstanding issues of the con- vention, is expected to come before the members in the form of a resolu- tion presented by a committee. Major Woods Address. Advocates of military training re- ceived encouragement on the eve of the vote from an address delivered last night by Major General Leonard Wood. Criticising the association that 2 million men would spring to arms between sunrise and sunset, Gen. Wood said: “We have been sitting up nights for three weeks to see 30,000 men “spring,’ and it is a very heavy spring.” Denying that the army or navy anted war, -Gen. Wood declared: “We want training commenced in the minds of children so that they will realize they owe everything to their country. We do not want to make them braggarts or swashbuck- lers, but we want-them ready to dis charge the military side of their ob- ligation.” MAN-EATING SHARK ATTACKS BATHER Lives Scarcely Ten Minutes- Crowd Sees Him Die Spring Lake, N. J., July 7.—Charles Bruder, young, vigorous, one of the strongest swimmers along the beach, came from the pavilion in front of the New Monmouth hotel yesterday afternoon at the popular bathing hour, waded through the ebb tide surf, where scores of persons were frolicking, and struck out for the deep water beyond the life lines. More than 500 persons were sunning them- selves on the sands or dipping in the breakers. Suddenly a woman screamed. Then inarticulate she ran toward George | White and Chris Anderson, the life guards. They looked seaward. Bru- der’s head and shoulders were no longer to be seen bobbing up and down. In a second or two as the life guards started Bruder reappeared, one arm flung up, his mouth open as if he were trying to shout. All around him the hue of the water was chang- ing from blue to red. The woman found her voice. Her cries startled the bathers and loung- ers. “He has upset!” she screamed. “The man in the red canoe has up- set!” White and Anderson, already shov- ing their boat into the surf, knew that the red blot on the water was not a reflection from the overturned canoe. They had seen Bruder forging into the long rollers. They guessed as they drove their boat toward him what they would find when they reached him. White, leaning from the bow of the boat, gripped Bruder's arm. The man’s eves were closed. He was near- ly unconscious. With what little strength he had left he whispered: “Shark—shark got me—bit my legs off!” He fainted. The life guards raised his body into the boat and found it a light and easy task. Bruder was only a plece of a man. His left leg had been snapped off clean just above the knee. The right leg had been sev- ered just below the knee. Under his left arm there was a gash which sank to the rib bones where the shark had made its first snatch at the swimmer. White and Anderson drove the boat to shore with all the power that was in them, laid Bruder on a linen coat offered by a woman who shut her eyes as she gave it, and did their best to keep a spark of life in the man so terribly hurt. Somebody had run for the hotel doctor, but long before he could get to the beach Bruder was dead. He lived scarcely ten minutes after he was rttacked. WANT CITY WATER. Connecticut Trap Rock es Company in Plainville Make Petition. An application for the right to tap the Whigville water main has been received by the water department from the Connecticut Trap Rock Quarries located in Plainville. The main passes within a short distance of the quarries and the water is desired for drinking purposes. At present the and some have threatened to quit un- less something is done about a bet- ter water supply. The department has the right under the statutes to grant the petition provided no objection is raised by the Plainville Water Co. Another application for the use of city water has been received from the state highway department. Water is needed in the macadam repair work on the Beech Swamp road in Berlin and the right to draw it from a hy- drant at the foot of South Main street is sought. Apparently no good rea- son exists why it should not be grant- { ed. New Shoes Add ed Every Day Besse-Leland Co. 38 Cities
