MEN WORK TO0O MUCH ALREADY The Unlon Pacific, Burlington and Kre- mont, Blkhorn & Missourt Valley railwaya have definitely refused to grant the request made by the Commerctal club last Wednes- Aay that excursions be run into Omaha from | over the state on Sunday, June 23. The project has therefore been abandoned. Popular rumor credits the club with an attempt to revive the old plan of running excursions into this city regularly on Sun- days during the summer. It s sald that this move, which recelved such an early quietus, was intended for the beginning of the new inauguration. Officers of the Com- mercial club, however, flatly deny that such 1s the case. Secrotary Utt sald that it was intended merely for next Sunday, and only for the benefit of the auditorium fund through the increased receipts ot the Bell- stedt band concert that night. Mr. Utt then continued: “The Commercial club would have no pur- pose in advocating Sunday excursions. We are not working for the saloon interests or the base ball team. Our retail men would in no way benefit from a Sabbath day ex cursion. And then even if it were on Sat urday we could hardly afford to support or push the idea as a regular thing. The re- tailers in all the towns along the lines of the excursion would roar about their trade being taken away, and they buy their goods fom the wholesale jobbers here. So wo couldn't take any hand In urging such a | scheme." Fatls to ¢ There are many people, however, espe- clally in rallroad circles, who belleve that the Omahans were roused by tales of the great success of the Sunday excursions into other cities, notably Kansas City, to a spirit of emulation, and that the real motive be- hind the proposition for next Sunday was to keep up the work, and run several thou- #and people in here every week, making the Tates 8o low that they couldn’t help coming. The matter was not even argued by the railroads. As soon as the proposition was broached representatives of the managerial departments of the different lines met and decided upon a clo: former policy in this regard. The adminis- trations of the Burlingion, Union Pacific and Elkhorn have for years been strongly op- posed to Sunday excursions and now they n Favor. announce that they will not run them under any circumstances. The feeling at the | headquarters of the different lines was sur- prisingly strong on this subject and all of them base their objections on two things— Sunday work for railroaders and general demoralization of morals. General Passen- ger and Ticket Agent Francis of the Bur- lington said: “The best thought of the best people along our line Is against the Sunday excur- sion, and 8o are we. We are Sabbatrians and belleve in the maintenance of Sunday ASKING FOR ENDORSEMENT Further Action Ineident to Preposed Higl Bobeol Changes IS NOW UP TO BOARD PROPOSITION Communication is Expected from as & day of rest instead of rollicking hip- hurray.

Another change in the High school sy tem, injected recentiy by Principal Water- house, that is causing discussion, is the edict that no puplils absent from any causs except sickness, shall be allowed to make up the work which they have missed, but on tho contrary shall be marked zero for |&ll recitations they did not attend. The |new rule goes further and provides that | even where the pupil is absent on account | of sickness and makes up the work he has | missed, Lo chall not be given full credit for | the work thus made up, but shall be al- | lowed only 66 per cent of the credit earned |in the same classes for an equal number of | days immediately succeeding his return to the school. 4 While the pupils bave not yet fully | grasped the meaning of this new rule, as :they understand it it means that where a | boy or girl is sick for a week and returns to school he is compelled not only to keep up with the class with the handicap of a week's absence, but also to make up the work missed for that week to the satis- | taction of the teacher, and then to receive | credit for only two-thirds of the mark ac- corded for the recitations of the week suc- | ceeding their return.

Naturally, |it is causing considerable among the pupils, as well as adverse com- ment among the parents. Discussing the | new scheme of marking, a parent, who has two children at the High school, declared “The trouble with the High school, a | conducted by the new principal, is that it |18 run on the theory that & boy who is | sick, or has to stay home to do work, or | 1s sent out of the city for a few days, should not only be deprived of the instruction his tellow students have enjoyed, but he should suffer in addition a loss of standing which |bhe might have earned by increased study |on his return. He carries this still further |1n the tdea that the proper way to punish | the puplls, for breach of discipline or vio- | compelled to remain in sections with chil-| lation of rules, is to deprive them of their opportunity to receive instruction by sus- pensfon or expulsion, instead of exacting extra work of the pupll or compelling him to remain in school extra hours. I am told that the suspensions and expulsions since Mr. Waterhouse has taken charge have been out of all proportion to the number of similar cases under his predecessors, while several of the pupils have been actually forced to leave the &chool during the last year because, by this system, they have been unable to keep up with their classes or have been so discouraged that they had no ambition to remaln in school, but have | prevailed on their parents t@send them elsewhere or let them go Into business. | The school authorities seem to forget en- TEACHERS ARE SELECTED foheel Beard Committes Makes ments in Beoret Bession. | ACTION WILL DOUBTLESS BE RATIFIED Tie- Discussion Over Principalships of the night is known in Omaha.

At the arraignment a sprightly colloquy | ensued between mother and daughter, when, | without warning, Goldie seized a brass- | trimmed ruler and Mrs. Miller a chair and each made for the other. For ten minutes lma Justice, attorneys and constable bad all they could do to prevent a breach of the peace. The girl was released under $500 bouds to appear for trisl July 2 | year.

Two names were considered, those of Miss Helen Wyckoff and Miss Liz- |zle Banker. Miss Banker is acting prin- | cipal of the Castellar school n the abseace of Mrs, Newton, and Miss Wyckoft {s prin- |ctpal of the Bancroft school. The recom- mendation of the board leaves the way open for the selection of either of these, but it i understood that a majority of the commits | tee favored Miss Banker. | Mra. Newton Will Return.
