Bllrod ExtoutWiS Talw BUid ii Faror

MEN WORK TOO MUCH ALREADY
Commercial Club's SuRBeatlon for
Brlna-lnff People Into Omaha
Doea Not Meet with nail
road Co-Operatlon.
Th Union Pacific, DurllnRton and Kre
mont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valloy railways
have definitely refused to grnnt the request
mado by tho Commercial club last "Wednes
day that excursions bo run Into Omaha from
over tho state on Sunday, Juno 23. Tho
project has therefore been abandoned.
Popular rumor credlta tho club with an
attempt to rovlvo tho old plan of running
excursions Into this city regularly on Sun
days durlne tho summer. It Is said that
this move, which rocolved auch an early
quietus, was Intended for the beginning of
the new inauguration. Offlcors of tho Com
merclal club, however, flatly deny that such
Is tho case. Sccrotary Utt said that It was
Intonded merely for next Sunday, and only
for tho benefit of the auditorium fund
through the Increased receipts of the Bell
todt band concert that night. Mr. Utt
then continued:
'"The Commercial club would have no pur
poo In advocating Sunday excursions. Wo
aro not working for the saloon Interests or
tho bass ball team. Our retail men would
In no way bonetlt from a Sabbath day cx
curslon. And then oven It It were on Sat
urday we could hardly afford to support or
push the Idea as a regular thing. The re
toilers In all tho towns along tho lines of
the excursion would ronr about their trado
being taken away, and they buy thotr goods
fom tho wholesale Jobbers hero. So wo
couldn't tako any hand In urging auch a
scheme."
KalU to !nln Favor.
Thero are many people, however, cspe-
dally In railroad circles, who believe that
the Omahans were roused by talcs of tho
great success of tho Sunday excursions Into
other cities, notably Kansas City, to a spirit
of emulation, and that tho real motive be
hind the proposition for next Sunday was to
keep up the work, and run soveral thou
sand people In here every week, making the
ratoa so low that thoy 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
, decldod upon a clpse adherence to their
former policy In this regard. The admlnls
tratlons of tho Burlington, Union Paclflo and
Elkhorn have for years been strongly op
posed to. Sunday excursion and bow they
announce that thoy will not run them under
any clrcumstanoos. The feeling at tho
hcadquartora of tho different lines was sur
prisingly strong on this subject and all of
them base their objections on two things-
Sunday work for rallroadera and general
demoralization of morals. Ooneral Passen
ger and Ticket Agent Francis of tho Bur
lington said:
'Tho best thought of tho best pcoplo
along our lino Is ngalnst tho Sunday excur
sion, and so aro we. Wo aro Sabbatrlans
and bcllevo In tbo maintenance of Sunday
ns a day of rest Instead of rollicking hip
hurray. These affairs nro pitfalls for the
youth of tho land. Again, wo do not want
our men to work on Sunday, except when
absolutely necessary. They work too many
Sundays now."
Major Sn Amen.
General Passenger Agent Buchanan of
tho Elkhorn was asked on what his road'
bases Its animus against tho excursions.
"Morals," ho snld. "Morals and tho laws
of tho Sabbath and tho rights of the work-
Ingman. Wo will not glvo our men un
necessary work on Sunday. They got fow
enough Sabbaths off, as It Is."
Thomas M. Orr of tbo Union Pacific said
that a strong sentiment against extra Sun
day labor existed with that company. Noth
ing was dono on the Sabbath savo what
was absolutely necessary to caro for perish
able goods and tho through overland pos
sengor traffic. All local trains wero at a
standstill on that day. Ho then said that
tho last time theso excursions wera run
h;re, about seven years ago, a loud cry in
protest against them was voiced by tho
better element of tho city, who deprecated
tho morul Influence resulting from such
Jubilee days. Mr. Orr didn't believe that
Omaha would permit such affairs again.

that wero outlined a few days ago In The
Deo.
When Tho Bee described the plan In In
cubation to abolish the class system by
dividing tbo students Into groups of sup
posed equal mental caliber and to push all
of them through, lrrospectlvo of their
classes, at tho fastest possible gait, Mr.
Waterhouse claimed the plan was In opera
tion all tho tlmo. It turns out now, how
over, that he Is Just about to ask the
school board to authorlzo him to put tbo
experiment Into force and for tbat purposo
has been securing from the different High
school teachers reports on tho work of their
various classes, Indicating tho basis on
which tho group system would bo arranged,
Tho teachers have been handing In lists of
their pupils, graded according to the mnrks
they are supposed to have earned, tho low
est being below 60 per cent, tho next from
60 to 70 per cent, 70 to SO per cent, 80
to 00 per cent and some abovo 90 per cent.
Destroy C'lnnn Syittem.
Hitherto the classes have been arranged
chiefly by arbitrary division, so many In a
class, taking tho names alphabotlcally as
enrolled, so that each class would havo
pupils ranging In standing from the lowest
to tho highest. If the now scheme is put
through It Is readily seen that it will de
stroy entirely the class system as formerly
practiced and make the period required for
graduation from tbo High school a variable
one, according to the group In which tho
pupil happens to be assigned.
That this schema for a revolution In High
school methods will meet with opposition In
tho school board has already been Indicated
by the expressions from different members.
Speaking of the plan Member W. F. John
son of the Board of Education said:
I do not approve of any system which
will divide the pupils Into sections and
brand certain pupils as stupid. If a boy
Is onco branded as a dullard he will always
be a dullard. Children vvho are pushed Into
sections where the pupils are Known to be
failures will never be any better than their
classmates. They will lose ambition and
content themselves with dragging along
dangerously near the failure mark. It may
be a drawback to tho bright pupils to be
compelled to remain in sections with chil
dren who do not learn rapidly, but tho pres
ence of ohtldren who learn rapidly Is an
Inspiration to the slower ones. The success
of children In school Is largely a matter of
application and any plan which will dis
courage Uio dull pupil Is bad In my opinion.
Relegato a boy to a section which Is
stamped as dull and ho will drop out of
Ol'UUUI.
Itnther Peculiar Edict.
Another change In the High school sys
tem, Injected recently by Principal Water-
house, tbat Is causing discussion, Is tho
edict tnat no pupils absent from any cause,
except sickness, shall be allowed to make
up the work which they have missed, but
on tho contrary shall bo marked zero for
all recitations they did not attend. Tho
new rule goea further nnd provides that
oven whore tho pupil Is absent on account
of sickness and makes up tho work ho has
missed, l.o chall not bo given full credit for
tho work thus made up, but shall be al
lowed only 60 per cent of tho credit earned
in tho samo classes for an equal number of
dayB Immediately succeeding his return to
tho school.
While tho pupils have not yet fully
grasped the meaning of this now rule, as
they understand It It means that where a
boy or girl Is sick for a week and roturns
to school he Is compelled not only to keep
up with the class with tho handicap of a
week's absence, but also to make up tho
work missed for that week to tho satis
factloa of tho teacher, and then to receive
credit for only two-thirds of tho mark ac
corded for tho recitations of tho week suc
ceeding tholr return. Up to this tlmo tho
teachers havo allowed pupils who bavo been
absent from sickness or any other causo,
not of their own volition, to make It up
afterward and get full credit for tho work
mado up, Under the new rule, therefore,
tho pupil who Is absent from sickness not
only loses tho Instruction, but Is also
shoved further down tho ladder by an ar
bitrary refusal of credit for more than
two-thirds of the work that has been mado
up, whllo tho pupil who Is absent from
causes other than sickness Is practically
forced behind his class by not bolng allowed'
any credit whatever for the work made up,
(.'nil urn Dlamillafncllon,
The result of this new rulo, as It Is
operating, Is to prevent many pupils from
pussing along with their classes, although
they may fctvo dono tho work equally well
with those who aro advanced. Naturally,
It Ib causing considerable disturbance
among tbo pupils, as well as advorso com
ment among the parents, Discussing tho
new scheme of marking, a parent, who has
two children at the High school, declared:
"The trouble with the High school, as
conducted by the new principal, Is that It
Is run on tbo theory that a boy who is
sick, or has to stay bomo to do work, or
Is sent out of the city for a few days, should
not only be deprived of the Instruction his
fellow students have enjoyed, but he should
suffer In addition a loss of standing which
he might have earned by Increased study
on his return. He carries this still further
In tho Idea that the proper way to punish
the pupils, for breach of discipline or .vio
lation of rules, Is to deprive them of tholr
opportunity to receive Instruction by sus
pension or expulsion, instead of exacting
extra work of the pupil or compelling him
to remain In school extra hours. I am told
that the suspensions and expulsions since
Mr. Waterhouso has taken chargo bavo been
out of all proportion to tho number of
similar cases under his predecessors, whllo
several of tho pupils havo been actually
forced to leavo the school during the last
year because, by this system, they havo
boon unablo to keep up with their classes
or havo been so discouraged that they had
no ambition to remain In school, but havo
provalled on their parents tdkscnd them
elsewhere or let them go Into business.
The school authorities Beem to forgot en
tirely that tho boys and girls In nttond-
nnco havo but one opportunity In tholr
lifetime to secure an education, and that In
taking that opportunity away from them
they nro being robbed of something which
can never bo restored."

cipal of the Caatellar school in tho absenco
of Mrs. Newton, and Miss Wyckoft la prln
clpal of tho Bancroft school. Tho recom
