BOOKS STAND THE TEST
NEW SCHOOL TESTS ENTIRELY SATISFACTORY.
Few Criticisms of Them. Have Ap
peared, and These Do Not Come
From Inherent Flairs.
SALiEM. Or.. April L "Aften seven
months of actual use In Oregon public
Schools, the new series of text-books
adopted under the Daly law have proved
entirely satisfactory." 'This Is what Su
perintendent of Public Instruction J. H.
Ackerman said today when asked how the
school people of Oregon like the change of
text-books. The aew books are much
more satisfactory than the old ones were.
This Is particularly true of the readers
and geographies. There have been but
very few criticisms of any of the books
adopted, and In many cases It Is prob
able that the criticism Is due to the fail
ure of the teacher to become thorough
ly familiar with the books.
"Some of the teachers do not like the
new language books, but this is the branch
upon which opinions always differ most.
Teachers who have been familiar with
one system of teaching grammar find that
It is not easy to adopt a new system. Yet
there are many teachers who much pre
fer the new series, and the large majority
are entirely satisfied. When teachers get
thoroughly acquainted with the new lan
guage books there will be no more criti
cism than always exists because of dif
ferent views of methods in teaching the
subject.
"There has been some fault found with
the High School histories, but after look
ing into the matter I am convinced that
the complaint Is due to a failure of the
teachers to understand the scope of the
books. The histories referred to are in
the nature of outlines, and they are in
tended for the use of teachers who know
more of history than is in the text-book
used. Quite naturally, then, those teach
.ers who attempt to confine themselves too
closely to the text-book do not meet sat
isfactory results. This does not apply to
the common school history.
Change Caused Little Friction.
"J have really been surprised to see
with what little friction the new series
of text-books has been Introduced into the
schools. The hooks were adopted in the
middle part of July, 1901, and were put
into use In September. They were used to
a large extent under a course of study
prepared for the old series of books. In
the short time that remained, I hastily
prepared a i supplement to the course of
study to serve as an aid to the teachers
In the use of the new books. Necessarily
the supplement wa brief and incomplete.
But go far as my observation has extend
ed, the work of the schools has not been
hampered by the change of books.
Sew Course of Study.
"I am now preparing a new course of
study, based upon the new text-books,
and it Is my Intention to have the man
ual in the hands of teachers by the time
the Summer schools and institutes are
held. Thus the teachers wlH become fa
miliar with the course by the time the
schools open in the Fall. The new course
will be framed to harmonize with the con
sensus of opinion of the leading teachers
In the public schools of the state. I have
sent out to all the leading teachers a cir
cular asking for detailed statements of
their views as to the amount of work
that should be done in each book during
each year of the common and High School
courses. "When the answers have been
received I shall make a thorough study of
the opinions expressed, and then prepare
the course of study as I think will best
suit the needs of the public schools. "When
the new course has been adopted I think
the new text-books will be found satis
factory to those few teachers who have
had trouble in using them. Even under
present conditions there is not so much
criticism as there was under the series of
books fprmerly in use.
No Complaint on Cost of Exchange.
"With the exception of a half dozen
letters, I have received no icomplaints re
garding the cost of Introducing the new
series of school-books. Of course, the
cost of putting In an entirely new set of
books was large, but the people pretty
generally recognized the fact that they got
value for their money. The children not
only have new books In the place of old
ones, but they have better books so far
as the quality of the contents is concerned.
The pupils have taken hold of the new
readers and geographies with especial in-"
terest, and great good will result from
putting something new into their hands.
The publishers have been more than
fair in making exchanges of new books
for old ones. A few days ago I was in
the basement of the Gill book store, where
all the old books are stored, and. was as
tonished to see some of the books the pub
lishers had accepted as second-hand books.
There were lots of books that had scarce
ly half their leaves left. Under a strict
following of the contract, the publishers
could not have been required to take such
books, but they did take them, neverthe
less. I have known of many instances of
the publishers allowing old books to be
exchanged for new ones after the time
for exchange had expired. With the ex
ception of one or two minor differences,
which are of no consequence, the trans
actions between the State Board of Edu
cation and the text-book publishers have
been entirely harmonious."
Senator Bnly Father of Law.
The Daly text-book law, under the pro
visions of which this -change of books,

OREGON CITY, April 4.-A -factional
fight has developed in -the ranks of tho
county Democracy over the proposed fu

Democratic and a Citizens' ticket. Just
what has caused the b"-eak is not made
public, but It is suspected that the row is
over a division of the offices. The straight
Democrats Insist that a majority of the
nominees on the Citizens ticket shall be

ers of the Democracy do not deem It
wise to consent to this, but rather think
it policy to put Populists and Republicans

A PLOT THAT FAILED..
Xaval Doolcs- and Fortress nt Ehiu1
rnrclt "Were to Be Bloivn Up.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 4. A special
to the Call from Vancouver, B. C, says
that ex-Premier Charles A. Scmiin has
Just made public the fact that a plot to
blow up the naval docks and fortress at
Esquimau was discovered and frustrated
in l'JOO. The p!an, it Is alleged, was ar
ranged In San Francisco by members of
the Clan-na-Gael. It Is asserte. dthat two
men were sent from San Francisco for
the purpose of carrying out the blowing
up of the docks. Their name?, as learned
by the British Consul at San Francisco,
were Denny McDcrmott and Albert Iten
vicker, the former an Irishman and the
latter a native of Belgium.
The information communicated by the
Consul at San Francisco was that at a
meeting of the Clan-na-Gael means were
discussed of how to aid the Boers in their
war against Great Britain. When the
meeting was called at first there was no
Intention to use force, but McDermott,
who was present, offered to go to Esqui
mau and attempt a body blow by dyna
miting as much as possible of the forts
and navy docks there. He asked for
the naming of a companion to assist him
in the deed. Renvlcker oftered himself
and was accepted. The two men were
closely shadowed by detectives. After
reaching Esqulmalt, Renvicker becamo
alarmed and disappeared. McDcrmott
was marched between two marines to a
wharf and sent back to San Francisco by
steamer.
Courtenay Walter Bennett, the British
Consul-General in this city, confirmed the
story from Vancouver. He would give no
further information except that it was
the work, of a society affiliated with
Fenian organizations. Irishmen who are
prominent In the local patriotic society
emphatically deny that there ever was
a branch of the Clan-na-Gael In this
city. They also state they know of no
Irishmen of the names mentioned In the
Vancouver dispatch who could possibly
be Implicated In any plot against the Brit
ish naval station.

Never give up. Even if you have been trying a
Sarsaparilla and have not improved. It's not the
slightest reason why."Ayer's ,J will not cure you.
"Aver's" is not like any other Sarsaparilla.
Doctors know this. They have our formula.!
That's why they always recommend "Ayer's " 1
in preference to every other kind. It's then
oldest, safest, strongest, best. ,
" Vour Sarsaparilla has done me a great deal of gocd, purifying my blood and 8
giving rac sirengm ana a. genenu lnvigorauon or ine wnoie body. 1 know it is

If you have, no one can tell you about the sufferings of
rheumatic pains.
Rheumatism is one of the most disagreeable complaints that any
one can possibly have. Doctors have tried to cure it, scientists
haVe tried to get rid of it and healers of all kinds have claimed
effective remedies. But rheumatism still remains, and many people
are still suffering and will continue to suffer vrith it unless they get
rid of it by using HolprunePs Wonderful Pain Remover.
Dr. Halpruner suffered with rheumatism himself a good many
years ago suffered terribly, and it was during his suffering that he
made up his mind to cure rheumatism, and he cured it with Hal
pruner' 8 Wonderful Pain Remover a medicine that he made to
cure rheumatism, and cure it quickly and permanently and not leave
any injurious results.
Don't let any one talk you out of it. If you.havc rheumatism
Halpruner' s medicine is what you need. It is a medicine that will
cure you and drive the rheumatism out of your system, and that is
what you want. Go to the nearest druggist and get a bottle, but
demand the genuine 50c and gi.oo
fhlpruner's
For jevcral months my wife suffered from rheumatism in her neck the
incessant pain was of constant annoyance and we tried many remedies without
relief. A friend of ours advised her to try Halpruner's Rheumatism Cure,
which she did, using it externally as well as internally. My wife kept up the
treatment for three days and then became entirely cured. We keep Halpruner's
Wonderful Medicine in the house all the time and would not be without it.
