PRINCIPAL BURR UNFOLDS PROGRESS OF EDUCATION, Speaker at D:nbury Summer School— Doscribes Work of Bacon and Com- menius, Dandury, Ct, July 7— Principal Henry T, Burr of the Willi- mantic Normal schoel continued his course in the history of education at the Danbury summer school Saturday. He spoke about the influence of cer- tain leaders in education during the middle ages and the earlier perfods of modern times. He spoke of Francis Bacon, who lived during the 15th cen- tury, and proposed a new purpose or end in education. Bacon asked the people to study the things about them, He advocated the method of Induction. Previous to his time people had started with assumed truths. Bacon said it was time to find out something new. Commenius was another great factor in educational progress. He was a minister of the Moravian brotherhood who, was forced by the thirty years' war to flee into Poland. After settling in Poland Commenius took on more re- sponsibility. He was a man of good intellect and he worked out a rational plan or system of education. Previous to his time a child was asked to learn that which was beyond his comprehen- ston, Commenius decided that such work was futile.. In his ‘W venture he had little material to work with. Bverything at that {ime was written in Latin. He wrote some text books, the first text books to be written with the idea ef adaptation to children. Stili he was dominated by the feeltnz of the times. He wrote the first book on pedagogy which i known as The Great Didactls, He attempted to com- pile a eyclopedia which was tp contain all knowledge, Like Baconm, the effects of his labors wers for a long time un- eortain, e I CONNECTICUT @, A, R, TRIP TO LOS ANGELES. | Department Commander Dougal Wark. ing fer Largs Deisgation to National Eneampment.

I, July 7—While groping its way through a dense fog in Narra- gansett bay early today, the Fall River line steamer Commonwealth rammed the United States battleship New Hanipshire near the Newport naval training station. Both ships sustain- ed considerable damage, but no fatali- ty or injuries resulted from the col- lision. Battleship Struck Nearly End-On. The Commonwealth struck the New Hampshire astern and nearly end-on. The accident occurred at 4.25 o'clock, shortly after the Commonwealth had landed passengers at Newport on its trip from New York to Fall River The Commonwealth was following its usual course when it collided with the New Hampshire, which was lying five hundred yards from the battleship Kansas and 1,000 yards from the flag- ship Louisiana of the second division of the Atlantic fleet to which it be-| longs. Slesping Passengers Beds. Because of the heavy fog that pre-s vailed during the night fog whistles were sounded at intervals by the bat- tleship.

There was a crash of crumbling steel and cracking woodwork , The Cem- monwealth shook for a minute and then backed away. On the steamer crockery fell from tables in the din- ing room, the sleeping passengerf were badly shaken in their berths and sev- eral of them were thrown frem their beds. Passengers Asked Not te Crowd: on Decks. Among a part of the 1,000 passengers awakened by the impact there was a scramble for the decks to ascertain the trouble. Captain William P. Ap- pleby and officers and members of the crew went to various parts of the steamer, informing the men, women and children there was no danger and requesting them te keep calm and not to crowd on to the decks.
