SflSeTE BOARD TO CONSIDER Mucli of the Work in Arithmetic Is Eliminated Changes Are Made -,- in History, Reading and English Branches. SALEM, Or., May 3. (Special.) Superintendent of Public Instruction J. H..Ackerraan has prepared and submit ted to t'ne .State Board of Education a revised course of study for 'the public schools i Oregon. This course the board will consider at its meeting on the first Monday in June. The new course, if adopted, -will so into effect with the new school year, beginning this Fall, by -which time copies can be printed and distributed. The elimination of unnecessary work in arithmetic, the consolidation "of civil" government with "history, the restric tion of 'grammar to a two-book course and the use of the elementary history and Dole's "American Citizen" as read ing "books in the fifth and sixth, years, are the principal changes found in the new course as compared with that now in effect Among the subjects entirely elimina ted In the study of arithmetic are troy weight, apothecaries liquid measure, the metric system, present worth, true Vllscount, bank discount, exact interest, annual .and compound Interest, stocks and-ond,' average of payments and all problems that come under these sub jects. Sections 7 and S of the mental are also eliminated. This does not mean that less time will be given tor the Study of arithmetic, but rather that the same length of time, will be given to the subject, but it will be concentrated upon those branches of the subject which the child is likely to find of prac tical use. Subjects Not or General Use. The Idea is that the vast majority of men , and women never have any use for the branches of the subject which have been eliminated, and the .few who do ftave use for them in after years can learn them in a short time, for their more mature minds and their practical application of the knowledge will make the subject easily under stood. Arithmetic work in the, first and second years has been lightened. Another change in the course, no far as arithmetic Is concerned, is the joining of written and mental arith metic, so that the two will be studied together by topics. Under the new course when a boy is studying addition of fractions in the written arithmetic he wHl be studying' the same -topic In the .mental, and so on through the two books'; This is believed to be an econo my joftime and effort. V 'Constitution With History. ' ' rt"-', Probably more Important than the change- that has beenmado In arith metic is that which has been made in the study of history. Heretofore civil government has been studied as a sepr aratesubject. Now it will be studied in connection with history. "Wherever! any-.erent in history relates to a section, of rjhie Constitution, that section is. studied In connection with the portion cf tl7j history which makes it of par ticular' Interest Superintendent Ackerman has noted in the history each section of the Con stitution connected therewith, and has thus' found an historical event which calls up every provision of the Con stitution except one. He found no event in American history which re lates to the provision that no title of nobility flhall be granted by the United States, etc. In course of study there will'-be'-given after each topic in his-tory-tthe section of the Constitution, if any,"relatlng thereto. By studying the two together the child will secure a more thorough understanding of both. Hcavier Work in Heading. Several changes have been made in reading;. The lightening of "arithmetic work in the first year has been accom panied by heavier work In reading, so that by the end of the socond year the primer and the first and second readers are completed, whereas the second reader work has heretofore extended Into the third year. In the fifth year the elementary "history will "be taken up as a reader, and Dole's '"American Citizen" will become a reader in the Sixth y.ear. All supplementary reading books have been cut out of the course, and these will be used by the pupils (only as library books. In no case will the pupils be required to buy supplemen tary reading books. In the new course of .study no books are mentioned-except tnose that were adopted as text-books by the Text-Book Commission. There fore every book mentioned is to be pub chased by the pupils. Two Books for Language. In language only the two-book course will hereafter be used, and the work heretofore done in the third book will be made up by more composition work. In geography only the coarse print matter and map questions will be studied. The fine print matter, which is explanatory, will be read by the teacher. It Is also recommended that in all schools employing three teach ers or less only the elementary geogra phy bo used. Where three or more teachers are employed, the two-book course may be adopted upon an order of the board. In spelling all of part 4 of the book, relating to synonyms, etc.. is elim inated. Music and drawing are op tional throughout the course. Xo change has been made In the high school course. Study of Grades 1 to 8.

Following the ar rest hi e of Edward J. Smith, former Tax-Co iector of San Francisco, on a charge of having embezzled city funds, Leona Brooks, who was registered at the Jefferson Hotel as "Mrs. Smith," was taken Into custody. She denied that she had left San Francisco with Smith or that they had been together. "I went to Hot Springs four weeks be fore he left San Francisco," she said. "He gave ma the money to go on and sent me money after I got there, by mail and wire. I heard from him while he was in the East. "Monday I got a telegram from him, telling me to meet him In St. Louis Tues day, at the Jefferson Hotel. I came at once. "Soon after I had registered he sent a chambermaid to see me. and I went to bis room, where he told mo the first I knew of his trouble. I felt sorry for him but there was nothing I could do to help him. That was the only time we met during the day. "I don't want to go back to San Fran cisco with an officer," she continued. "I have no objection to going back there If they will let me go by myself, but I have done nothing to be arrested for, and I don't want to be taken back." Smith talked freely today of the charges against him. admitting to the police that he had embezzled, saying the amount of his shortage was about $60,000. "I was too good a fellow." he said.

The news received here that his wife Is lying at the point of "death In San Francisco was not told him. Smith later resumed the conversation. "I never took anything which would affect people who were not able to stand the loss." he said. "Large corporations would send In their checks for taxes. I would con vert some of these to my own uses. One of these was a check for nearly 140.000 from the Southern Pacific Com pany. I did not take all of the sum. I always hoped to be able to pay back the money I had taken, but I got In too deeply, and when exposure became certain I fled. "For weeks before exposed I suffered torments. I could not sleep. I could not eat. I was under a constant nerv ous strain. Sometimes I would be seized with a. fear that somebody was coming to examine my books, and I would remain at the office all night to prevent It. Now I have no friends here or anywhere else," he concluded. When told of the arrest of Leona Brooks, he steadfastly denied that he knew her or had met her at the Jef ferson Hotel Tuesday. Smith arrlvea" In St. Louis Monday evening, and registered at the hotel as L"B. Smith, New York." Yesterday forenoon Leona Brooks arrived, and at the hotel registered as "Mrs. B. Smith. Lewlston. 111." He had n room on the fifth floor, and she was given a room on the third floor. Detectives had received information to be on the lookout for Smith, and for several days had been scanning the hotel arrivals. The names registered gave them the clew that led to the ar rests. As Smith talked In his cell he smoked cigarettes constantly, and ap peared to be very nervous. He de clared he could not eat, and begged newspaper men to remain near him, as ho did pot want to be alone. The police siale Smith will be held pending the arrival of Detective Wren, now en rdute from San Francisco, but Smith expresses himself as very eager to proceed to. San Francisco immediately.
