Washington, Feb. 2. The cost of operation of the nation's railroads could be enormously reduced and ef ficiency greatly increased under a direct and unified system under pri vate control, William G. McAdoo, wartime director, declared today be fore the interstate commerce commit to einvestigation of railroad rates. Declaring there is no competition at present between the railroads in either freight rates and passenger fares, which had been established by the government, the only possible competition is in service. He added that the public would profit in the ec onomical use of terminal facilities and to have competing tracks of cojn mon carriers considered double tracks for the benefit of both. x "The public has paid a high price for alleged competition." Mr. McAdoo declared, and added that it was of doubtful value. QUITS ITS OFFICE i?y lb- Associated priss. Koine, Feb. 2.

TO CONDUCT SCHOOL FOB ADULTS iCffl (BY MAX ABERNETU V ) Raleigh, Feb. 2. Miss Elizabeth Kelly .director of schools for adult illiU-iates, of the state department of education, announces that the school of education for teaching adult be ginners will be held this year from June 19 to June 30 in connection with the Asheville normal school at Asheville. An effort is now being made by Miss Kelly to have 1 or more woman from each county in the state to at tend this school of instruction and she is calling upon women's clubs and' other organizations, in each county to select a capable woman who with the approval of the county :-.uper:n-ftmrlpnr of sr-hools shall cooperate thp work of teaching adult beginners. In counties with large city school systems it is sug gested that a special worker for each city be named. The clubs making tne selections are asked to provide ex penses of their teacher to the school. 'The plan of organizing a school of education for teaching native adult beginners grew cut of the follow ing needs," said Miss Kelly: "The vital interest and support of the leadership; an UUHIUI v- , intelligent coordination of existing public agencies; a greater number of trained teachers, and atequate public funds. "In order to meet these needs it is our purpose to bring into this school one or more woman from eaeii county in our state. The business cv these women will be primarily to find the best methods of attacking the native adult illiteracy problem in their own counties and t.o link tlie work up with the public schools and other agencies by which it must be done. So that women may be given definite vnd intensive training tor teaching native adult beginners, the following courses are offered: Methods for organizing and conei'ueting community schools for adult beginners; 10 hours by Eliza beth Kelly. 2 Texts, materials, methods, and outlines of subjects to be used in teaching ac'jit oeginneis, 20 hours by Mrs. Elizabeth Norms, a rJic.i7s enno-s. c-ames antf contests to be used in community scnooi&, hours by Alton C Roberts." These instructors will be assisted by members of the summer school who are especially trained to teach certain phases of the required sub iects in each course. Workers from ether states will give in lectures ac counts of the outstanding features of their plans and results obtained. i mp i r ENTOMBED IN MINE Gates, Pa., F'eb. 2.
