"If 1 can find what the church , the gospel , the truth was In the past , I find there nn expression or infinite wIsdom and enough to meet the necessity of all ages , for what Oed has done lie has dOle forever. " The speaker then forcibly expressed his belef In the bnchnngeablty of God and the gospel , and I there was anything false or erroneous , or any change to bo made In God's work or the gospel , God was responsible - sible therefor , . and not man. I man sought to t modify or change anything that God had made or given , man was culpable and would merit the eternal anathema of God and men.

The telegrm was belated and did not reach the sheriff until YEsterday morning , owing to the fac that Riley was not In Jai at Philadelphia , lS had been supposed , but at South Dethlehem , a manufacturIng city located fifty mies soulh.

Dy the reorganization five teacher were cut down to the extent of $00 a ) 'ea two were reduced - duced $200 and one $ . I was stated at the time when the reorganfzaton was under consideration that these teachers had represented - sented hint they were perfectly wIlling to ac- cept the reduction , but more recent eVents indicate that theIr submissIon , I It existed , was short lived . Two or three of the new candidates who were elected to positions in the High school have tendered their resignations on account of tie alleged insufficiency of salary. L. McCartncy , one of the old teaiffers , resigned tarers for the same renson. In Mr. McCartney's case members of the board professed to be unwilling to release him , lS 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 the Dodge school and electing Mr. McCart- ney ns his successor. 1 was urged that there was no reason for losIng a man like Mc- Cartney and keeping Alien , whose servIces had been unsatisfactory for seeral reasons. , But Allen's dark lantern support pulled hIm through and ' I Ind McCartney's resignation was nc- ! cepteu. Besides those named there ar two or three teachers now In the High school who are alleged - leged to bo hugely dissatisfied with the present - eat situation. In making reductions In salaries - arles 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 theIr JUdgment was at complete variance with the advice of those most competent to give an opinion. APPLIED TO ONE AND NOT'THE ' OTHER. The case of Miss Jennie M. Wallace affords alords a striking xamp1e. Miss Wallace Is a graduate . uato of the Omaha High school , end also of Smith college. The fact that she Is an Omaha girl , In addition to the strong recommendation - mendaton which she received from Prof. Lewis , InJcatel ' that she would b elected without oppoattlon. But she was turned down and Prof. Sterak of Cleveland , 0. . who happened - pened to be a personal frIend of Mr. I'lerson and other members or the board , was elected. Subsequently Sternk , who Is a Harvard grad- uate , refused to accept lie position , and no more applicants with pulls beIng available . Miss Wallace was then elected 10 have charge or the study room nt a salary of $700 n year. The sltuaton Is further complicated by the acton or the majority or the board In an- other case. Mrs. leler , who was acknowl- edged to be one of the strongest teachers In the Dodge school , was dropped , It wili'be remembered - membered , on the pretext that she was a marrIed woman her husband being a lawyer , who was well able to support her. This wu or course a subterfuge which thinly veiled the real trouble. Mrs. Heler had Inadvert- enty referred to the A. I' . A. In a manner which was ofensLvo 10 the dark lantern fra- ternity , and her remark was said to have been conveyed 10 the star chamber conspirators - flrators in the board by Mrs. Lizzie E. Houdebush. Mrs. Roudebush has Just been rewarded by beIng given a High school po- altion. She Is also I marrIed woman 'Her husband Is also a lawyer , and 18 also well able to support her. She Is furthermore a member of Mr. Cramblet's church.

Probably all who have had a common school I education . says the New York TrIbune. remember - member vIvidly the agonies they suffered durIng lie 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 different theIr own present chirography - raphy Is i from the flowing copy plate which they trIed to imitate , with more or less success - cess , In their youthful days. The penman ship of the world has always been tar short ] of the ideal copy-book standard , but sInce the general introduction of the typewriting machine - chine I baa grown from bad to worse. The part of the community who have universiy CP educations are worse oft In thIs regard than the common school graduates , for the reason that if they ever did write n halt-way decent hand as the result of theIr tencher's stren IOUS efforts , I was completely ruined when they began to take notes of lectures at cot lege. The world moves , and now the cdueatonal I experts have arrIved at the conclusion that t the whole system of instruction In writng Is wrong ; that the beautiful and elaborate curlycue and intricate shading of the old copy.pla system are not only useless and I dimcuit to acquire but Ih.t , In the generality - eraly of cases , they are really unreadable Everyone bias reesived more or less leters written by some so-called first claps penmar which are beautiful to look at In the regu- levity of their strokes and curves , but cx- tremely bard to read. The school tesehers have come 10 a realizing sense of a fact that the frt purpose of hand writing Is to bo legible , and not artistically beautiful , and I that the same amount of time formerly spent In elaborating shading and curves I f spent In practicing the modern perpendicular hand will give four times better results In the way of a mastery of the arc . greater freedom In writing and the acquisition of.n , style that will be legible , even I 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 - lag , the rustic style , the old English leter- , many others , and many weary hours were spent In the draughtng room putting Ihese varied hieroglyphIcs on the drnwlng 'fhe doctrIne that simplicity and utility are Ihe 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 tak , and much valuable time was wasted. The next reform was the Introduction of the Ocr man "rundschrift , " which Is a species of frohanl work done with n special pen \hlch shades broadly and almost automatically. The "rundscbrUt" may be put on a drawing wih ] great rapidity , but It requires considerable ski to do It well , anll 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 lloesn't ink his fingers and break his bacl ] , at anything of the kind. lie buys a box of assorted printed letters on paper or cloth , with wel.gummed backs and when hIs drawIng - lag Is done licks the back of a sufcient i ber of thee letters and afxes them to his drawing after the manner of the humble post- age stamp. _ _ _ _ _ _ The I'rineipnls' Club of flianita A comparatively new oganluton In school cIrcles Is the Prlncpals' : c'ub.

One of the most perplexing problems confronting - fronting boards of education throughout the country Is provIding adequate accommoda- ton for all children of school age. This Is particularly true of the large cities. I Is not a new problem. It follows I folows the round of years and becomes : more difficult 10 solve ns It advances. With every opening of the school year the supply of children far exceeds the accommodations , and thl expenditure of vast sums will be neclssnry to meet the ever grcwlng demand. This condition Is particularly acute In New York , Boston , Phiadelphia 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 supplied the normal increase of pupils , o that the surplus of nearly OOOO chid ten remain unprovilet with school IC- commodations. Chicago has a surplus estimated lt 11,000 , although 213 rooms have been rented 10 accommodate the rush Boston amid Phiadelphia are proportionately better off population . Similar . conditions obtain In cItes of less The great obstacle to nn early solution of the problem Is the oppositon to Increased taxation. In all the cities named ( lie lax rate Is at the top notch. The political end of tie 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 ducatonll purposes annually It Is not sufficient 10 wipe out the deficit In school accommodations. Commenting 'n the Inadequacy of the schools In Chicago , the. Chronicle asserts that the trouble Is not due to n lack of buildings so much as to the perversion of the school system. I shows that there Is nlenlY of room at the top. None of the hIgher grades are crowded. I Is In the lower grades that the children are massed and deprIved of the accommodatons they are entitled to. The Eighth grade of the Chicago schools has only I 9,000 children out of the total of 176.000 , I while threefourlhs 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. I Is due to lie 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 n policy calculated to give the largest possible number the best possible instruction In what are strictly the rudiments-tho prInciples , of knowlulge. The short school life of the average child ought not to b taken up with fads or with anything - thing else calculated tp deprive him Of his chance to learn how to read , wrIte and count AMEitICtNSChIOOLS .

"We spend more for schools per head tkan any nation In the world. And the common school Is the breath of life. Great Britain spends $1.30 per head 01 the common schools ; France spends 80 cents ; , \ustrla. 30 cents ; Germany , 60 cents ; Italy , 26 cents , and the United States over $2.60.

As I have said ten thousand times , the school house Is my cathedral. Thl 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 hltory or the wIde world. Over 42,000,000 of edu- cated citizens , to whom arc opened all the treasures of literature. Forty-two millions miions or people , able to read and wrlel I say , there Is no parallel for this. The nations of antiquity were as Ignorant as dirt ntons compared wIth this great republic of ours. There Is no nation In the world that can show a record like ' our We ought to be proud of It. We ought to build more schools , and build them bHter. Our teachers ought to be paid more , and everything ought to be taught In the public schools that is worth knowing. "I belevo that the children of the republic , no mater whether their fathers are 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 schools than It docs to teach reading and writing and clpherl g , .
