Meeting. ‘There was a large meeting of the Young Men's Christlan association yesterday after- noon at the Baptist church, it being the fare- ‘well meeting of Harry Curtis and the begin- ning of the term of the new secretary, G. D. Buker. Thé meeting in the church was pre- ceded by a fifteen-minute service in front of the residence of Mrs. Ballard, on First avenue. Several songs were sung and Robert ‘Weldensall, the veteran assoclation worker, made some remarks. The meeting in the church was conducted by Harry Curtis, C. G. Saunders delivered a short address on the subject of “Men's Bodies.” He viewed the work of the assoclation from a physical standpoint, referring to the fact that it was the Young Men's Christian assoclation largely that had wrought such a change In public opinion that a spiritual air and a hacking ®ough were not considered requisites of a Christian life. Dr. Phelps spoke with refer- ence to the minds, and Mr. Weidensall on the spiritual side of the work. Mr. Curtis made a few farewell remarks, Baker made his Initlal bow. The meeting throughout was one of great enthusiasm, and the church was well filled with both ladies and gentlemen. Mr. Curtis and family leave today for their new home in Camden, N.

The Latter Day Saints were In full possession, and whilo the crowd was as great as on any bright feather day, the worldly sprinkling gave only a tinge of gaiety, and the flesh and the devil didn't make even a noticeable minority. Daring the morning service there were from 1,200 to 1,500 persons in the grand plaza, which has been rearranged as an auditorium, and In the afternoon the eloquent Elder Luff had fully 2,000 eager listeners, An animated prayer and praise service opened the day's program. The morning sermon was by Rev. Mark H. Forscutt of Nebraska City, who presented the subject of “The Second Coming of Christ” along the lines ‘stamped as orthodox by his church. He dwelt, too, upon the preparatory Christian work which should be shared in by all, Rev. T. W. Williams was In charge of the service, and after several musical selections, Introduced as the speaker Rey. Joseph Luff of Kansas City, one of the most forcible speaki the church. He sclected as his text 3:14: “Whatsoever God doeth it shall be forever; nothing can be put to it nor anything taken from it; and God doeth it, that men should fear before hi Among other things the speaker sai When God Introduced the gospel he did not intend to confer it upon a chosen few, but it was in- tended for the entire human race. “All things ordained of God were intro- duced with a view of meeting necessities re- gardless of where they should be made, whether In the morn of creation, or on the millennial day. It is a divine Father providing for his entire family. No earthly father or mother worthy of the name would ke discrimination against his children on > grounds that some were born before the others. It is not probable that our Heavenly Father would do 8o efther. If God made ar- rangements to mest the necessities of the human family wherever necessities are mani- fested, that which was ordained to meet that necessity in any age will meet it in every other age, or whenever such demands appear. The necessities of the world 6,000 years ago are its necessities now. What God ordained to meet them then, He has ordained to meet them now. “God never can improve upon any of his works. They are perfect and that debars fm- provement. We see no change in the phys- cal realm. The sun and moon perform the functions they always have performed. The organs of the body are used for the same purpose now they ever were in the past. jod has never seen fit to improve upon his_first creation; it was perfect. Man in the material reaim reaches perfection by gradual stages. Nothing that ever has been invented was perfect at he start, but God being definite, He started right, and although the world has existed 6,000 years there has been no improvement made. “If I can find what the church, the gospel, the truth was in the past, I find there an expression of infinite wisdom and enough to meet the necessity of all ages, for what God has done He has done forever. The speaker then forcibly expressed his belief in the unchangeability of God and the gospel, and if there was anything false or erroneous, or any change to be made in God's work or the gospel, God was Tespon- sible therefor, and not man. If man sought to modify or change anything that God had made or glven, man was culpable and would merit the eternal anathema of God and men. The audlence was spell bound, and although the speaker continued for one hour and thirty minutes, scarcely a movement was made. In the evening, at preached. HAS A SURE 5, Rev. A. H. Smith OUGH RILEY. Telegram from Deputy Sheriff 0'Birlen Brings Good News. Sherift Hazen expected a telegram all Sat- urday evening from Nick O'Brien, his deputy, bringing some news as to whettier the man in custody in Pennsylvania is really J. Riley, the Griswold bank robber, who fired & ball with murderous intent at O'Brien, and all but accomplished his purpose. The telegram was belated and did not reach the sheriff until yesterday morning, owing to the fact that Riley was not in jail at Philadelphia, as had been supposed, but at South Bethlehem, a manufacturing city located fifty miles south. As soon as O'Brien took a look at the pris- oner ho pronounced him the right man, and at once sent a telegram to the sheriff, and another to Mrs. O'Brien, announcing the news. He promised to be home either Tues- day night or Wednesday morning. Riley is not the namo of the prisoner, but Tommy Blake, and that Is the appellation by which he is known to tie police all over the country. Riley was merely adopted for the Council Bluffs trip, and tho fact that he had never used it before, so far as can be learned, was what made it dificult for a time to de- termine just who he was. For some weeks past, however, Superintendent of Police Linden at Philadelphia bas stuck to the be- lief that It was Tommy Blake, one of the most notorlous dare-devils in tae country, and he, in all probabllity, will have as much claim as any one to the $300 reward which Sherlff Hazen offered at the time of the shooting. Sherlff Hazen states that up to the time of O'Brien's departure for the east Riley had cost him $400 in railroad fares, postage, and other expenses Incurred in locating him, for all these expenses have to be paid by the sheriff, and not by the state. The $300 re- ward will run up the total expense to $700, while the sheriff estimates that he will be ablo to make $150 for keeping him until trial and in fees, o that he will only spend about half of the §1,000 he promised himself he would spend before giving up the chase. He has tried to induce the State Bankers’ as- soclation “to pay the expenses, as Riley cracked the bank safe at Griswold, but the bankers' assoclation shows a wonderful re- luctance to do so. Stole Berry's Shirts, Willlam Berry and wife of Marne left their valise in the Rock Island local depot for a few minutes yesterday afternoon, and when they returned they found 1t missing. Later on it was found lying beside the track be- tween the local depot and the transfer. Four shirts, a sult of underwear and three pairs of hose were missing, & lot of Mrs. Berry's clothing being left in the vallse by the thieves. Berry reported the case to the po- lice and gave Officer Weir a description of the missing property. During the afterncon a couple of tramps tried to get out of town by the box car route, One of them, Joe Sullivan, alias Ed Williams, got-on a train while it was moving at the rate of fifteen miles per hour, but as he stuck his head out to see how his comrade was another box car came along and struck him In the head, knocking him galley- west, He was stunned and his companion who glves his name as Willlam Howard, called the patrol wagon and had him taken 1o the Women's Christian association hospital Officer Weir met the wagon as it was coming up and instantly recognized the shirts the two had on as part of the old man's bag- gage. Sullivan was found to be little hurt, and he and his companion were lodged in the city jail. Each of them had on a pair of stolen hose, one of them belonging to Berry and the other to his wife. Berry promised to come and prosecute in case the thleves were caught, and he has been notified of the capture, Hardman and Standard planos, 113 N, 16th. Dragged by a Mule. Mr. Keeline, a brother of W. C. Keeline, an Upper Broadway butcher, met with a serious accident yesterday afternoon. He was standing with a mule cart by the beer garden on East Plerce street when a drove of cattle came along and frightened the mule, He caught it by the bit to prevent it from running away, but the mule was an ablebodied one and'ran any way, dragging Keeline about half a block before it declded to stop. His clothes were almost stripped from him, his face was covered with blood, and he was in a deplorable condition gener- ally when he was at last rescued by L James and taken to his brother's bufcher 4 shop. No bones are broken, but he was considerably brulsed.

One of the most notable features of the new system was the reduction of the saldries of a number of teachers who had been drawing the maxi- mum salary on account of their extended service, on the ground that they were inferior in discipline and teaching qualities to others who were being pald materially less. By the reorganization five teachers were cut down to the extent of $100 a year, two were re- duced $200 and one $400. It was stated at the time when the reorganization was under consideration that these teachers had repre- sented that they were perfectly willing to ac- cept the reduction, but more recent events indicate that their submission, if it existed, was short lived. Two or three of the new candidates who were elected to positions in the High school have tendered thelr resignations on account of the alleged insufficiency of salary. L. McCartney, one of the old teachers, resigned for the same reason. 1In Mr. McCartney's caso members of the board professed to be unwilling to release him, as he was a valu- able teacher, but under the rules they could not offer him any increase in salary. At one time there was a strong sentiment in the board in favor of dropping “‘Prof.” Allen of tho Dodge school and electing Mr. McCart- ney as his successor, It was urged that there was no reason for losing a man like Mc- Cartney and keeping Allen, whose services had been unsatisfactory for seteral reasons. But Allen’s dark lantern support pulled him through and McCartney’s resignation was ac- cepted. Besides those named there are two or three teachers now in the High school who are al- leged to be hugely dissatisfied with the pres- ent situation. "In making reductions in sal- aries the High school committee represented that it was acting entirely upon the advice of the principal of the school, Mr. Lewis, and the superintendent, Dr. Marble. In making appointments to vacancies, however, the members assumed that they were quite able to act on their own judgment, even where thelr judgment was ‘at complete varlance with the advice of those most competent to glve an opinion. APPLIED TO ONE AND NOT THE OTHER. The case of Miss Jennie M. Wallace affords a striking éxample. Miss Wallace Is a grad- uate of the Omaha High school, and also of Smith college. The fact that she fis an Omaha girl, in addition to the strong recom- mendation ' which she recelved from Prof. Lewis, indicated that she would be elected without opposition. But she was turned down and Prof. Sterak of Cleveland, 0., who hap- pened to be a personal friend of Mr. Plerson and other members of the board, was elected. Subsequently Sterak, who s a Harvard grad- uate, refused to accept the position, and no more applicants with pulls being avallable, Miss Wallace was then elected to have charge of the study room at a salary of $700 a year. The situation is further complicated by the action of the majority of the board in an- other case. Mrs. Helier, who was acknowl- edged to be one of the strongest teachers in the Dodge school, was dropped, it will“be re- membered, on the pretext that she was a married woman, her husband being a lawyer, who was well able to support her. This w of course a subterfuge which thinly veiled the real trouble. Mrs. Heller had inadvert- ently referred to the A. P. A. in a manner which was offensive to the dark lantern fra- ternity, and her remark was said to have been conveyed to the star chamber con- spirators in the board by Mrs. Lizzle B. Roudebush. Mrs. Roudebush has just been rewarded by being given a High school po- sition. She is also a married woman. Her husband is also a lawyer, and s also well able to support her. She is furthermore a member of Mr, Cramblet's church. In the light of these facts the removal of Mrs. Heller and the appointment of Mre. Roude- bush has caused an eruption in certain quar- ters which the fear of the A. P. A. ma- Jority in the board has scarcely sufficed to quiet. REFORM I MANSHIP, The Graceful Curves of F Wrecked by Machi Probably all who have had a common school education, says the New York Tribune, re- member vividly the agonies they suffered during the half hour a day devoted to making pot hooks and copying unmeaning phrases in their writing books. The same number of unfortunates realize with equal vividness how widely difterent their own present chirog- raphy is from the flowing copy plate which they tried to imitate, with more or less suc- cess, in their youthful days. The penman- ship of the world has always been far short of the ideal copy-book standard, but since the general Introduction of the typewriting ma- chine it has grown from bad to worse. The part of the community who have university educations are worse off in this regard than the common school graduates, for the reason that if they ever did write a half-way decent hand as the result of their teacher’s stren- wous efforts, it was completely ruined when they began to take notes of lectures at col- lege. The world moves, and now the educational experts have arrived at the conclusion that the whole system of instruction in writing Is wrong; that the beautiful and elaborate curlycues and intricate shading of the old copy-plate system are not only useless and dificult to acquire, but that, in the gen- erality of cases, they are really unreadable. Every one has recived more or less letters written by some so-called first class penman which are beautiful to look at in the regu- larity of their strckes and curves, but ex- tremely hard to read. The school teachers have come to a realizing sense of a fact that the first purpose of hand writing Is to ba legible, and not artistically beautiful, and that the same amount of time formerly spent in elaborating shading and curves if £pznt in practicing the modern perpendicular hand will give four times better results in the way of a mastery of the art, greater freedom in writing and the acquisition of a style that will be legible, even if it departs from regularity, The same gradual transition has taken place in the art of lettering, as practiced by draughtsmen. Twenty years ago draughts- men and engineers learned elaborate letter- ing, the rustic style, the old English, and many others, and many weary hours were spent in the draughting room putting these varied hieroglyphics on the drawings. The doctrine that simplicity and utility are the highest form of beauty has made headway among the draughtsmen, as elsewhere. The first reform was in the substitution of plain block lettering of the old style. The making of block letters, however, is a slow task, and much valuable time was wasted. The next reform was the introduction of the Ger- man ‘‘rundschrift,” which is a species of freehand work done with a special pen, which shades broadly and almost automatically. The “‘rundschrift’ may be put on a drawing with great rapidity, but it requires considerable skill to do it well, and the result of poor or mediocre work is painful to the eye. The whole subject of lettering has now he- come a lost art, The draughtsman of today doesn’t ink his fingers and break his back at anything of the kind. He buys a box of assorted printed letters on paper or cloth, with well-gummed backs, and when his draw- ing is done licks the back of a sufcient num- ber of these letters and affixes them to his drawing after the manner of the humble post- age stamp. The Principals’ Club of Omaha. A comparatively new o:ganizition in school circles is the Princ’pals’ c'ub.

One of the most perplexing problems con- fronting boards of education throughout the country s providing adequate accommoda- tion for all children of school age. This is particularly true of the large cities. It fs not a new problem. It follows the round of years and becomes more difficult to solve as it advances. With every opening of the school year the supply of children far exceeds the accommodations, and the expenditure of vast sums will be necessary to meet the ever growing demand. This condition Is particularly acute in Now York, Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago. New York City appropriated $5,000,000 for buildings and sites last winter, and nearly a dozen buildings were completed and opened with the new school year. Yet the Increased facilities barely suppiied the normal increase of pupils, so that the surplus of nearly 50,000 children ‘remain unprovided with school ac- commodations, ~ Chicago has a surplus estimated at 11,000, although 213 rooms have been rented to accommodate the rush, Boston and Philadelphia are proportionately better off. Similar conditions obtain in cities of less population. The great obstacle to an early solution of the problem s the opposition to increased taxation. 1In all the cities named the tax rate is at the top notch. The political end of the municipal machinery will not curtail its quota of the public funds and increase the resources of the school boards in proportion. The result is that while munificent sums are spent for @ducational purposes annually it is not sufficient to wipe out the deficit in school accommodations, Commenting on the finadequacy of the schools in Chicago, the.Chronicle asserts that the trouble is not due to a lack of buildings 0 much as to the perversion of the school system. It shows that there is plenty of room at the top. None of the higher grades are crowded. It Is in the lower grades that the children are massed and deprived of the accommodations they are entitled to. The Eighth grade of the Chicago schools has only 9,000 children out of the total of 175,000, while three-fourths of the total are in the first four grades. This is not exceptional. Something like the same proportion will be found in the different grades of every city in the country. It Is due to the fact that the school life of the great majority is so short that they never get beyond the Fourth grade. Public school policy ought to be governed by this fact. It ought to be a policy calculated to give the largest possible number the best possible instruction in what are strictly the rudiments—the princlples of knowledge. The short school life of the average child ought not to be taken up with fads or with any- thing else calculated to deprive him of his chance to learn how to read, write and count. AMERICAN SCHOOLS, Fruits of Thelr Work Compared with Forelgn C ntries. Colonsl Robert G. Ingersoll gave utterance to a few striking educational truths in a recent address dellvered before the surviy- ing soldiers of his regiment at Elmwood, IIl. He said: We spend more for schools per head than any nation in the world. And the common school is the breath of life. Great Britain spends $1.30 per head on the common school: France spends 80 cents; Austria, 30 cent Germany, 50 cents; Italy, 25 cents, and the United States over §250. I ‘tell you the school house, . s, . the fortress of liberty. Every .echool house s an artenal, filled with weapons and ammuni- tion to destroy the monsters of ignorance and fear. As I have said ten thousand times, the school house is my cathedral. The teacher is my preacher. Eighty-seven per cent of all the people of the United States over ten years of age can read and write. There is no parallel for that in the history of the wide world. Over 42,000,000 of edu- cated citizens, to whom are opened all the treasures of literature. Forty-two millions of people, able to read and write! I say, there is no parallel for this. The nations of antiquity were as ignorant as dirt when compared with this great republic of ours. There is no nation in the world that can show a record like ours. Wa ought to be proud of it. We ought to build more schools, and build them better. Our teachers ought to be paid more, and everything ought to be taught in the public schools that is worth knowing. “I believe that the children of the republic, no matter whether thefr fathers ars rich or poor, ought to be allowed to drink at the fountain of education, and it does not cost more to teach everything in the free schuols than it does to teach reading and writing and ciphering, “Have we kept up in other ways? The postoffice tells a wonderful story. In Switz- erland, going through the postoffice in each year, are letters, etc., in the proportion of 74 to each inhabitant. In England the num- ber is 60, in Germany, 53; in France, 3 in Austria, 24; in Italy, 1 States, our own home, 110. Think of it. In Italy only 25 cents paid per head for the sup- port of the public schools, and only sixteen letters, And this is the place where God's agent lives. 1 would rather have one good schoolmaster than two such agents.” , and in the United GO SLOW. Dangers _oft Hi cunure School Work Pointed Out. The opening of another echool year s an excellent time for instructors, committees, superv! €ducatiosal dignitaries genes- ally to make good reso'utions. And one of these good resolutions, says the Bo:ton G obe, ought to take the form of a declarat'on against compelling the little people to rush along the ~highway of learnng at a “‘scorcher’s” paca, Of course the teachers are not to ba held responsible for the existence of coaditions which tempt them to consider a high c'ass average as of more consequence than the development or the *drawing out” of the qualities of the individual pupil. At ths same time they have great influence with their superiors who devise tie programs of educational work. That influence, ex:rted strongly and persistently on the side of rea- sonableness and considerate regard for the welfare of our future citizens, cannot fail to have much weight, It is time that a‘halt” was called to the hurry-up policy in sehoét-work, for the sake of pupil and teacher ‘altke.
