stated last night at the regular meet
ing of the board after a number of pa
trons of the school appeared, both for
and against Miss Tracy. Charges
were made that the teacher was ar
bitrary in fixing the grades of ber pu
pils and that she was not fair In her
treatment of them, often embarrass
ing them by sarcastic statements
made before the entire class. Other
patrons spoke briefly In praise of ber
and urged the board to retain her tor
another year.
A. J. Geddea, who was appointed as
a director at the recent special meet
ing, was present and qualified, and
took part In the proceedings, which
were opened by H. A. Hall who de
manded to know why his son had
been set back from the 7th to the .6th
grade. He produced the boy's report
cards which were explained by Prof.
Oleman. The principal of the school
stated that the boy moved here from
Canada and that he bad been taught
under a system differing from that of
the local schools. He failed to make
an average grade In the 6th but was
conditioned to the 7th. During the
first few weeks in the 7th he made
good grades but then failed to apply
himself and at the end of the six
weeks period was set back.

BERLIN, April 12. Dr. Edmund
Hugo Stlnnes, who by the death of
his father, has suddenly become the
monarch of one of the world's most
gigantic Industrial and commercial
enterprises. Is described by his as
sociates as a "youth of personality
and winning urbanity."
Although only 28 years old. he
served a rigorous technical and com
mercial apprenticeship under his
father's unsparlngtutelage and sub
sequently was graduated from the
Charlottenburg Technical School
with the degree of doctor of engine

advanced to the 7th grade to be able
to play basketball with the team of
that class and then as soon as the
season was over was sent back. They
wanted to know why it was that if a
passing grade was required to play
basketball, the boy was set back after
the season was over.
It was explained that a grade of
70 is a passing grade, but that a pu
pil must have an average of 80 in or
der to advance.
J. E. Pickens stated he Is opposed
to Miss Tracy being kept In the Rose
school. He stated thnt he is endeav
oring to give Ms children a good ed
ucation, but that he does not feel that
they are being given a fair deal. He
stated that when his oldest boy was
taking physiology from Miss Tracy,
that Mrs. Pickens frequently asked
concerning bim. but received no sat
isfactory answer. Near the end of
the semester she was advised that the
boy would not be able to take the
state examination because of a poor
showing. Mrs. Pickens insisted that
he take the examination, and he did
so, receiving a good graae. misb
Tracy, be stated, gave the children
low grades and when their daughter
entered ber classes continued to dis
courage the child. The girl was al
ways good In arithmetic, ne saiu. out

to Miss Tracy and asked to see some

not shown anything which she nsd

Whether the new Sttnncs general
