research department of the New Jersey Training school for Feeble- Minfded children, has carried out a systematic testing of an entire 'school population of 2000 children by the Binet method. The results amount to almost a mathematical proof of the accuracy of this system: It shows that there are 4 percent of children who are precocious or better in mentality than the average child, 78 percent are normal, 15 percent are backward, and 3 percent feeble-minded. This ratio probably holds almost universally. should therefore have schools or special classes for these precocious children in order that the natural advantage with which they are born should not be lost and that they should not learn bad ways and bad habits, from being in classes that go so much slower than they are able to go.

In this misplacement of children, I getting them too hign or too low for their 'mental capacity, lies the reason for a large amount of truancy and incorrigibility; also the fact that precocious children often break down.

Having worked all night Monday in a desperate effort to save the remaining spans of the Canutillo bridge above El Paso, Quirino Carreon, a Mexican laborer, fell exhausted into the water at 6 oclock Tuesday morning and nothing has been heard of him since then. Carreon, with a number of native and American residents of Canutillo had been working desperately all day Monday and Monday night in an effort to save the bridge from being washed away. Carreon had a rope tied around his body and the end fastened to the remaining span of the bridge.

Loses Rope. During the night he lost his rope and while holding to the bridge stringers with one hand, and reaching down to remove the collecting brush and driftwood from the pier of the bridge, he lost his balance and fell into the yellow water. Being completely exhausted from his work, Carreon was unable to swim ashdre and the last that was seen of him was when he disappeared a half mile down stream, A reward of $10 has been offered by Joe Spivey, of Canutillo, for the discovery of the body of the Mexican, as the settlers in Canutillo district wish to honor the aged Mexican with a decent burial. Water Covers Low Ground. The water is over the lower ground near Canutillo, and the river is higher than it has been at any time since the rains started.

Many cracks in the building rendered it unsafe, and a force of men was employed tearing it down on Tuesday morning. The building had been damaged in the storm of two weeks ago and all the goods had been moved. Rooming Houses Dnmnpred.

Two rooming houses, also owned by Melendrez, at 313 and 315 Overland street, were completely flooded at about 8 oclock. and the occupants were forced to move. Over two feet of water lodged on the floors, and has done considerable damage to the walls. At midnight Monday the front of the house at 125 Chihuahua street caved in. wrecking the whole -front of the building.

It Was ocupied by two men. who were sleeping in a back room and were not hurt. They sat up the remainder of the night fearing the rest of the house would fall also.
