10 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, APHIE 3, 1002. SCIIOOL BOORS TOO NUMEROUS Eo Argnei Faction of Education Board's Text Book Committee. ' SUBJECT WILL BE INVESTIGATED SOON Member Mrlnlnnh Will A I no Propone a Chanse In the Formation of Cadet flnttnllon, llednolna; 5nmbrr of Companies. The text book committee of the Board f Education In making preparation for a complete Investigation Into the question of the book now in use in the public schools of the city, and a large part of the time during' the Hummer vacation will be de Voted to such work. According to a state ment made by a member there are two forces at work on the committee, one of notch doelres to reduce the variety of books tised in the graded to a minimum, and the Other desires to give a large variety of books In the same grades. The champions of the former plan claim that by using but one book in a grade and insisting upon ; thoroughness in the text supplied by this !- book, better drill and familiarity with the ubject taught can be secured, while the '.friends of the other idea, among whom is numbered the superintendent of schools, . claim that better results are attained by a. : variety of books, that when a pupil has '. completed one txt book he can attain bet ' ler schooling by studying another author Upon tho same subject than by a levlew of the book used at first. This plan has been carried out to a cer ' Sain extent in the schools, notably in the "second and third grades, where two kinds Of readers are used. Appleton's readers atre regularly specified for the course of study, but a few years ago the publishers ef another text book succeeded In having their publication Introduced experimentally, and since that time both books have been Used In the same grades. Ma Change School Honrs. In addition to a possible revolution in re tard to textbooks another change is brew ing which may cause a decided reduction of expenses for the coming school year, and the recent storm, which damaged two rooms at Franklin school, will be responsible for a part of the change if It la made. "When the chimneys were blown through the roof of the Franklin school last month," said a member of the board, "It was found that llttlo time was lost and the work for merly occupied by four rooms was confined to two for more than two weeks. The length of the school day was slightly length ened, and the pupils In the two rooms were kept but half a day. As far as can be learned they received the usual Instruction and teachers worked no longer than usual. Now the question to be settled is whether the work during those two weks was aa satisfactory as it was formerly. If it is found that the pupils made as much ad vance then as during the same length of time in the four rooms it Is probable that this experience will be turned to account and an entirely new lime schedule made out lor next year." I Hugh F. Mcintosh, a member of the Jyoard, will probably Introduce a resolution at the next meeting looking to a reorganiza tion of the cadet battalion, and he believes that all of the trouble growing out of an Alleged lack of guns will be avoided by his plan. Briefly, It is to employ as com mandant of cadets a citizen of Omaha who has seen service In the Spanish war and who may be qualified as drill master and commandant. Then he would have the formattlon changed. Too Many Companies. "It lacks to me," said he, "that there are Ijntirely too many companies at the High school, considering the number of male pupils. There are slightly more than 400 toys in the school and there are seven cpmpanles. Vnder the present formation nt the United States army there are about 100 enlisted men In each company of full strength. If the companies at the High school should be formed on the lines of the army there would be only four conrpanles. Since the guns at the school have been re paired there are about 200 available for the cadets. By dividing the drill hour two companies could be drilled at one time and for the purpose of drill every boy in the school could be provided with a gun." The plan of reorganizing the companies vlll meet with considerable opposition at the High school, as it would reduce to the ranks officers of three companies, and this oUd be opposed by them and their friends. REALTY MEN TALK OF OIL Commend Work of Private Company ia Sinking? Experimental Wells. At the meeting of the Real Estate ex change yesterday afternoon the principal rork waa in the way of raising funds for the costs of the tax suit. LJBts of names of probable subscribers to the fund were, placed In the hands of members of the ex change, who will solicit this week. W. II. Green and H. F. Dally reported on the prospect for oil In the vicinity of Omaha, saying that they had visited the Papllllon creek, where a company Is sink ing an experimental well, and there found evidences of oil. The manager of the com pany doing the work said that lumber and machinery would be on the ground within ten daya snd that the first oil well In Ne braska would possibly be In operation within a short time. The committee rec ommended that the matter be further in vestigated and commended the work of the feompany in making the experiment.

An express delivery wagon partially dis robed County Judge P. M. Vlnsonhaler on Farnam street In front of The Bee build ing yesterday with a neatness and dis patch that was amusing as soon as It ( ease l to be alarming, and the exalted ruler of the local Elks went around the rest of the forenoon with a distress sign that brought tears to his brothers' eyes and Joy to his tailor's heart. The Judge's trouble seemed to be coming In bunches. The other day he sllppud and sprained his ankle, and yesterday It swelled up like a college freshman and was almost as painful. His fionor Is not naturally a fancy stepper, because his legs are of that attenuated, meditative typa peculiar to I eh a hod Crane and Judge Read, but be had, by much athletic work, got then well trained, and It was with the greatest reluctance that he resigned himself to the use of a pair of crutches when he came down town. He was standing near the edge of the sidewalk, with his back to ward the street, when an express wagon from the office of the Adams company daphed up, with the wheels so close to the walk that It scraped the curbing. Thj wire screen that projected from its Bide caught the judge's coat at the seam and peeled It off bis back as dexterously as a taxidermist could have done with a dress'Dg koifo. The friends of the Judge who were talking to him at the time felt the hair raise on their heads ..as they realized how help less he was to protect himself from being thrown under the heavy wheels, but thty caught him In time and he escaped with no Injury to his person. Until noon he hobbled about his court looking like ths hero in a war drama ths morning after the battle. TWO SISTERS IN A FIGHT One t;eta Pair of Black Ryes and the Other a Three-Dollar Fine. Daisy and Tillle ScUaefer, sisters, were in police court yesterday charged with fighting. As Tillle was wearing a pair of black eyes that will be a reminder of her encounter with her sister for many daya to come she was discharged, Daisy was fined $3 and costs. Daisy, who has been residing in Council Bluffs, came to the home of her mother, near Twentieth and Izard streets, Tuesday to say good-bye to the family preparatory to going to St. Louis. Bad blood had ex isted between the sisters for some time over something that Tillle had said about Daisy, and Instead of receiving the glad hand from her slater, Tillle smote Daisy on the cheek with a small cane. Instead of turning the other cheek Daisy came back with an upper- cut that changed Tillie's eyes to a dark blue bordering on the black. Tillle then took recourse to the court to get satisfac tion.
