THE MORNING OREGOMAN, THURSDAY, APRIL' 6, 1905. FA IN SCHOOLS I hey Cause Revolt New York City. m "THREE R'8" NEGLECTED White Children Learn to Cook, Sew and Wash, ALSO TO STUDY PET ANIMALS Failure of Boys to Pass Examination for Office Boy Stirs Up Re bellion Against Max well's Fads. rnittee roported in favor of making no change, and in fact Mr. Stern was the only one who- favored It.' He prepared and submitted a minority report, recom mending' the shortening of the hours of the pupils in the first two years, but consented to an amendment providing for a change In the first year only. This was adopted. The abolition of these use less studies will so shorten the school hour that two sets of half-day scholars can be accommodated. Commissioner Adams, who supported the resolution, said the public school sys tem In this city was not as good as it was ten years ago. "I was horrified a short time ago," he said, "to learn the real condition of affairs. Boys and girls who applied for positions as clerks could neither read nor spell. My investigations convince me that the instruction of pupils in essential studies is sadly neglected." Mr. Maxwell loudly protested against any change being made in his own pe culiar course of studies, but was over ruled. However, after the flrst year pu pils will be compelled to sew and cook, and wash extra hard to make up for the time they have lost through the ef forts of reformers like Mr. Stern, and Mr. Maxwell will see that they do it. For he is determined that the rising gen eration of Greater New York shall be the best cooks in America. Three cheers or tablo d'hote education! NEW CANDIDATE IN THE HELD XBW YORK, April 5. (Special.) A mighty watt of protest If arising from rarents throughout Greater New York. Thry do net -like the way the schools are ondulcd, and an active crusade is under way to dispose of City Superintendent "William J. Maxwell, or at least to in duce him to drop some of the astonishing t! Jigs he has grafted upon the public e 'onl system. Mr. Maxwell is essentially a man of 'al3 and fancies and parents who were . -lught up under the old "Three R's" system rub their eyes when the younger generation tell how they have passed their ftiidj hours. I feel sick! Maggie Welch does not know how to make an oyster stew." "I do not like to wash aprons, but tcat-her says I must." "Mother, have you got any animal I can take to school. We've all got to do it tomorrow." These three sample remarks are not rom a joke book, but were actually made b scholars to their parents and they only illustrate some of the fads which Mr. Maxwell thinks are necessary for child ' a!ture' j(P Taught to Make Oyster gtew. Thp studies in plain and fancy cooking would be funny were it not for the fact that they are dangerous. This fad started because somebody suggested to Mr. Max well that conditions in the tenements would be improved if the children were taught to cook. Mr. Maxwell agreed, but instead of limiting it to the schools in the slums, adopted it for the entire city, and the children of the well-to-do are rompelled to take up this study to the detriment of mathematics and the scl c nccs. Three times a week cooking classes are held. The pupils are divided into two equally-sized sections. The first half vooks (for Rome unexplained reason it generally makes 05'ster stew) and when t has completed its experiment's the un happy second half of the class ir com pplled to eat the stow. With a desire to be perfectly fair and g.ve all members of the class an oppor tunity to acquire dyspepsia, at the next "sson" those who have cooked before remain to eat, while the former guests perform as cooks. Infants Learn Washing. ' New York public school children are also expert in the matter of plain wash ing, a valuable gift for the well-to-do. Several times a weok the teacher picks out the little girl with the dirtiest apron In. the class and as a reward of merit assigns the neatest girl to wash it. Being selected as the laundress Is regarded as a great honor, although many parents ere so old-fashioned that they cannot see it, and have even been known to protest to the teachers. But what Is the use? The teachers do rot dare to go contrary to the rulings ' Mr. Maxwell, for he Is the Czar pf thp Pedagogues, and happier than the Russian Czar, for nobody has yet decided to throw real bombs at him. The pupils of a fashionable school on the Upper West Side have greaduated from aprons and are now taking a post graduate course in handkerchiefs. Pet Animals Taken to School. Natural history classes are another feat ure of up-to-date Now York tuition. Pets of assorted sizes make personally con ducted trips from the homes of their owners to the schoolrooms and many children are now able to tell a bulldog m an Angora cat because they have sen both. Perhaps Mr. Maxwell does not realize it, but he has simply takon a leaf out of the. school book of a pedagogue who f ourished many years ago one Wackford Siueers. He, it will be remembered, aided Ms pupils in the study of a horse by al lowing them to curry him down. The Maxwell theory is based on ' much the same principle but still the parents are not grateful. In fact some of them are positively discontented. Can't Pass for Office Boy. They point to the fact that at a recent examination for office boy in the city's service, which is protected by civil ser vice rules, of 40 grammar school boys who took the test, 28 failed to -pass. And the hardship was that the youngsters knew all about how to cook, wash and iron, pick daisies and discourse learnedly about hyglone. But they were not able tj pass the simplest kind of -an examin ation in reading, writing and arithmetic. The storm of complaints has had but Uie effect upon, the members of "the Board of Education, who have been among the warmest of the Superintend tnts supporters. Commissioner Abra ham Stern, who fought him practically siugle-handod, has finally been able to ' gain a partial concession. The Board has solemnly decided that during the flrst year, grammar school pupils- need not study these subjects: Sewing, physical training, organized games, physiology, study of hygiene and drawing. This was not done because the studies were regarded as useless, but to relievo the crowded conditions of first-year ( lasses in some of the schools. Faddists Lose a Point. Some time ago the question of abolish ing all but essential studies in the lower gradeE was brought before the Board of Education, and a special committee appointed to consider a revision in the course of study. A majority of the com Stern's Friends Say He Will Be New District Attorney. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, April S. No authorized an nouncement has yet been mado from any official source indicating what ac tion will be taken on the appointment of Marshal and Attorney for the new Eastern Washington Judicial district. There was a new rumor in circulation today, however, to the effect that Sam uel R. Stern, of Spokane, would be ap pointed District Attorney. Neither the Senators nor the .Department of Jus tice will confirm this rumor, and there is considerable question as to its cor rectness. It originates with Mr. Stern's friends. Mr. Stern was a prominent candidate for Judge of the Eastern Washington district, but was not recognizedby the Senators. When Mr. Whitson got the judgeship, Mr. Stern's friends started a campaign for him for Attorney and have been appealing directly to the President and the Attorney-General. Mr. Stern's friends here say Mr. Llnds- ley will be rejected because of his youth and Inexperience and that Mr. Stkrn will be made DistricfAttorney. In fact, they declare that Senators Piles and Ankeny have consented to his appointment, though both Senators say they have made no such promise and are not aware that Mr. Stern will be appointed. Senator Piles said today that the whole matter will be settled tomorrow morning and that he will leave for homo tomorrow afternoon. Senator Ankeny also expects to leave this week. Board on Army Promotions.. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, April 5. The folowing board is appointed to meet at Fort Walla Walla for examination of such officers as may be ordered before it for pro motion: Colonel Edgar Z. Steever, Fourth Cavalry; Captains Edwin B. Winans. Jr., and Samuel Rutherford, Fourth Cavalry; Captain Henry Web ber. Assistant Surgeon; Contract Sur geon Wilmont E. Brown, First Lieu tenant, William Austin, Fourth Cav airy, recorder. NEWSPAPERS TOLD HEM NEWS Wallace Learns of Appointment Sea-Level Canal Simple. NEW YORK, April 5. Chief Engineer Wallace, of the Panama Canal Commis sion, first learned of his appointment on the new Commission upon his arrival here todav on the steamer Finance, from Colon. I read in a newspaper brought by the pilot that I had been appointed on the new Commission," said Mr. Wallace, "but know nothintr of the particulars. Of course. I knew something of my appoint ment, as the rdatter was discussed with Secretary Taft when he visited the Isth mus last December. Everything is quiet in the Canal Zone, and I know of nothing new there. ' Speaking of the difficulties of building the canal. Mr. Wallace said: "It is surprising what wrong impres sions prevail in this country about the canal. The control of the Cbagres itiver. for instance, has been much misunder stood. The cost of this work, will be onlv 5 per cent of the total cost of build lng the canal. The difference in tide be tween the Pacific and Caribbean Sea can be controlled by tide locks, although this is not necessary with a sea level canal. The tide in the Pacific rises 10 feet higher and falls 10 .feet lower than it does in the Caribbean. The canal, however, will be 47 miles long, and will take up this dif ference. We do not place locks at Sandy Hook to control tide into the Hudson, and that river Is always navigable. So will the canal be navigable at all times. I will go immediately to Washington." THE EVERETT PIANO Represents all that is best of human endeavor in piano construction on broadest and most advanced ideas; it is a recognized art product appealing to the cultured musical taste. It has won the highest attainable place in the estimation of those "who have carefully studied it. Not only musi cians, but all those who are ever ready to acknowledge marked su periority have recognized its superla tive qualities and voluntarily paid it unstinted praise. This result has been accomplished because the Everett is a wonderful and original creation, imitating no other piano, but possessing many features entirely its own. Its tone is musical not noisy. Its action while flexile and responsive, has that firmness which betokens character. It is essentially the musians piano, and is preferred b3r the world 's greatest artists. We are sole agents for the Everett Piano in this territory as well as for the Knabe, Hardman, Fischer, Vose, Ludwig, Packard, Cable, Conover and other renowned makes. Our prices are right and our easy-payment plan is popular with the people. Would bo pleased to have you call and sec us. Allen &GilbertRamakerCo. Cor.

NEW YORK, April 5. Circulars to the number of 6000 have been ordered by. the Health Department to be served on all physicians and institutions in 'New York, ordering reports made of every case of cerebro spinal meningitis. This must be done by the doctors and hospital authori ties under the penalty prescribed in the sanitary code, and marks a. drastic step by the Health Board in combatting the disease which has caused 793 deaths in Greater New York since January 1- Un der the new policy each case will be dis infected, and If ieed be, isolated. As yet no one has been able to reveal the Identity of the meningitis germ. Two facts which the Investigators con sider of importance have, however, come to light. It has been found by laboratory experiments, that there is a variation be tween the typo of so-called germs in this epidemic and the hitherto supposed nor mal type of meningitis germ. The second discovery is that all the ordinary animals used in laboratory work are immune to the meningitis germs. , Hayti Has Subsided Again. WASHINGTON, April 5. A cable gram from Minister Powell at Port au Prince was received at the State De partment today, which gives assurance that everything was quiot in Haytl, and that the cruiser Brooklyn, which went to Haytlan waters on rumors of gathering revolutionists, has been or dered away. Humors have reached Minister Pow ell of some trouble at Monte Cristi, in Santo Domingo, but nothing of a def inite character is known. Reference to this uprising probably relates to the disturbance reported a few days ago. The Brooklyn is going to Monte Cristi, where Admiral Sigsbee will shift his flag from the Newark to the Brooklyn. Sold Liquor Without License. WALLA WALLA, Wash.. April G. (Special.) James Black was sent to the County Jail today in default of $300 bonds, on the charge of selling liquor without a license at Touchet Station, 15 miles from here. He opened up a Joint at Cummins Hall a few days ago. He was caught by Sheriff Painter late last night. Hood's Sarsaparltla Haa won success far beyond the effect of advertising only. The secret of its wonderful popular ity is explained by its unapproachable Merit. Based upon a prescription "which cured people considered incurable, Hood's Sarsaparilla Unites tho best-known vegetable rem edies, by such a combination, propor tion and process as to have curative power peculiar to itself. Its cures of scrofula, eczema, psori asis, and every kind of humor, as well as catarrh and rheumatism prove Hood's Sarsaparilla the best blood purifier ever produced. Its cures of dyspepsia, loss of appe tite and that tired feeling make it the Shonts and Wallace Old Friends. 1 NEW YORK, April 5. Theodore P. Panama Canal Commission, has arrived ' greatest 6tomach tonic and strength- hero from Washington, and today pro ceeded to his home in Chicago. He ex pects to start for the Isthmus next month. In talking of the work to be done, Mr. Shonts said: "One of the rare relations that is pre sented in the personnel of the commission charged with such an important work is that of Engineer Wallace and myself. Not only have we been fast friends since we were boys, but the families fathor and mother of each were the closest friends. Mr. Wallace's father was the founder and president of Monmouth Col lege, from which I was graduated." restorer the world has ever known. Hood's Sarsaparilla Is a thoroughly good medicine.

Accused of Stealing $1,000,000. NEW YORK. April b. Dewltt Smith, president of a railroad construction com pany, has been arrested by an attache of the District Attorney's office on a war rant charging grand larceny. A large sum Is said to be involved. The complaint was sworn to by Thomas Stokes, who charged the prisoner with misappropriat ing funds of the Stokes estate. The spe cific sum mentioned in the complaint was $24,000, but it was said that an accounting was to be asked for nearly 51,000,000. Issuance of the warrant followed a con ference of an hour's duration between Magistrate Cornell and counsel for the Stokes interests.
