Their friends say that the church members' who are dlissatlsfled with the stund their pastors took, are contemplating a transfer of memberships to a church where the Ideas of the pastor more nearly reflect those of the members on the subjects of dancln? and the raising of money for charity. It Is said that certain mon and women who belonged ts the charity ball committee sre among those thinking 'of changing churches, and that they nre now mem bers of a church whnso pastor waa on J of tho more active ministers in opposing tliM charity ball.

The total revenues from saloon licenses this year will be J270.000, owing to the fact that several "wholesalers' li censes ' havo been Issued. Omaha's public Schools diversification oFlnstfuction (dontinued). Munuat training has grown from noth ing to a general branch of study In tho Omaha public schools, graded and high. It Is taught today in all but five of the thirty-four grade schools, Druid IIII1, Uu pont, Phcrman, Train and Webster, and the only reason It Is not taught there Is lack of room. All these schools arc over crowded. As soon ns additional re sources for building become available this deficiency will bo corrected and man ual training provided for every child. Incldcntnlly this Is something for those to think about who complain of not hav- j Ing manual training available for all. A good time to recall It will be at the next bond election. Manual training has been taught in the high school by Prof. J. E. Wlcman since 1S00, In the graded schools since 1901, It waB then Installed, though on a very limited scale, by Dr. W. M. Davidson, who beauty and form, both In an urtlstic ami utilitarian sense. It is, therefore, consid ered n logical step toward woodwork As Miss Thompson Indicated In her last annual report, It seems but natural that the pupil's pride in his work should find Its climax In the accumulated speclmeiid arrayed nt tho end of tho eighth grade before his eyes on a rack. If he cannot appreciate the progress made In some less tangibly visible lines, surely here. It ho has mado progress, ho can perceive It for himself. Somo pupils, however, display woeful ui aptltuilo for the work and fall to com plete many specimens, while others com plete all they undertako nnd aro able to lay down one product flnlshd on time to tuko up tho (text In Its turn. They may tako home with them tho articles they produce In wood by paying a nominal sum to cover the actual cost of material. SUNDAY SCHOOL TO REPEAT PERFORMANCE TONIGHT Members of the Sunday school class of fc"t. Vaul's Episcopal church will repeat the Christmas play entitled "Bird's Christmas Carol" this evening at the Jacobs' Memorial hall. Seventeenth and Dodge' streets. It was originally given Tuesday evening under tho supervision of Miss Leonore Williams, niece of Illshop Wl)llams, and won such approval that a repetition .of the performance was re iuestet, Thera will also be a number of new sketches by members of the Sunday school, and following the show a dance will be given. The program will start at "":4 o'clock. D0WLSKY GETS THRTY DAYS IN JAIL FOR BEATING WIFE Thomas Dowlsky. Eleventh and Do minion streets, was sentenced to thirty days In jail upon a charge against him by hla wife, who appeared In police fouK with blackened eyec, accompanied by tli fir I.-yrar-old son, and testified hi to his having beaten her. Dowlsky was arrested by Officer Cooper Thursday. ...I-..-- . other very useful pieces for the home, The lad who really devotes himself seriously to this work from tho fifth grade through his high school course should come out with some mechanical knowledge worth while. It seems Impossible to lay down even a cursory discussion of the subject of manual training without at least alluding to Prof. John E. Wlgman. who from UUO. the day of Its Introduction Into the high t aro and did with it what it Is Impos, slble In a few words to describe. 1I ceased his connection with the high school only because he had reached ih retirement age nnd was ready for the rest he had earned. v As to the temilmler of the graded school studies, they are familiar enough and yet vary in many respects l point of presentation from the .manner taught !!S KOne " Pcrffle method f method, or any other Is followed ln the Omaha schools, hut the central Idea runs toward Individualism, a mastering f one s own facilities, so as brst to direct nnd exercise them. mat year uecamo cuy Buperuumiueni 01 i auiiirwnen, particularly In the high M'fiuuiH unu auiuu hud tiunu iu uBiiiuK- . finuwi, uuj n manufacture ton, where In the same capacity he so completely succeeded in revolutionizing tho school system as to attract the at tention of Pittsburgh, where he now Is. Dr. Davidson came to Omaha from To peku with manual training for the lower grades as one of his hobbles and lost no time introducing It. Obviously Its grovth and development after two years was rapid. .Superintendent Graff, being equally devoted to the system, has advanced it ver juccessfully. If ho had had tho resources he would have manual training luuglu now lr. all the schools. No effort Is made to Induct a boy or gtil Into a trade through the channels of manual training, nlthough the In struction may open up to the child such a discovery of hla own natural bent us to aid him In finding his proper sphero In life. Instruction begins In the fifth grade and- goes through as a regular branch to the high school, when It be comes elective and runs the gamut of tho four-year course. In the graded schools after the fifth grade every pupil except In the schools where It Is not yet taught has two reg ular periods a week, with some extras In manual training. Most of the schoolH have the'r own teachers, thou?h somo share the same teachers, ull working under thn general direction of Helen M. Thompson, the supervisor. The course, consists of clay modeling, wood carving and bench work for. the boys nnd clay modeling and sewing for tho girls. Clay modeling comes first, for. ns MIsh Thompson explains, "since the birth of artistic thought In the humiin ruce clay has been the medium for that expression." The advanced classes In clay work turn out some really ambitious specimens In pottery nnd tiles, some busts, for ex ample, that denote high skill and genius. Wood carving follows for the boys, pre ceding the bench work on the theory that it gives them control ot their eye and hand, which, ot course, Is essential to good work at tho bench. Uut the bench work Is what the boys most like. There Is something big and manly In handling tho real tools of a carpenter and their use cultivates a good deal of dexterity In the youngsters. Hero Is where the teacher really finds out whether John or Harry Inclines .toward mechanics or something else, and, theoretically, at least, such a discovery often' leads' to good result, Jtcverting for u moment to cluy model ing, the primal thought ln thin Is that It gives the pupil an lilou of the vslUf of 3C-lnch Axmlnstcr Hugs; irregular nlze3 from 4 Vj to G ft. long; worth up to $7.50; salo prlco $2.00 size salo prlco $2.59 Velvet Hugs, 27x54 Inches; 98c $20.00 nruascls Hurb, bIzo 9x12 feet, In tltla prlco . . .
