them valuable experience and would be of
great service to the schools.
Your committee is thus led TO believe that
department Of theory and practice can be
safely made an ad jnnct to ourcty school sys-
TEN without danger of failure, or infracion
of the law, and with little ad ditional expense
to the board of education or The taxpayers OF
the city. We would emphasize here the i'm
portance of maintaining high standard of
scholarship. The most success ful schools of
this Kind make the standard OF admission as
high as Is required for graduation from the
high school. Our school should require as
much; to be less exactmg would lower the
standard of teaching in the city. The main
tenance of this high standard wouldstimuate
many TO con tinue in the high school and COM
plcte the course, who, without this hope,
would drop out OF the school. We believe
that many would complete course IN the
high school that they might become eligible
to the privileges OF the theory and practice
department.
While to those familiar only with large
state normal school with cos tly buildings and
n large corps Of instructors, so simple an or
ganizaton as the one we propose may seem
insutfi Gent it should be Remembered that in
these state schools nearly all the teachers
are en- gagged in giving academic Instructions,
while one or two only are occupied with That
which is strictly theoretical and practical, bu Q
pupils will come to our school with the
academic work already completed and the
preparaons for theoretical and praClcai
training will be found altogether sufficient.
While this report Is necessarily incomplete in
min u to details we believe 1t to be sufficient I
basis for the esta bsment OF this department,
The further details may be completed by the
superintendent of Instruction, the committee
on special instruction and the principal oil the
theory and practice department.

For long time efforts have been made to
secure favorable acton 10y the board of edu-
cation on plnnto establish in Omaha nor
NAL department for the training of teachers
In the public schools of the city, This move
ment sheen strongly backed by the various
labor organizations Of Omaha for various rea-
sons, the chief one being that the daughter
or apoor man, aftershe has gradu ated at the
high school, cannot qualify herself TO teach in
the public schools OF the city without spend
ing a year at the normal school in Peru under
an expense of $500 or more, They think
Omaha eau afford this education to the girls
in return for their free services as substitute
teachers while they are being trained as
teachers, The follOwingis Is

Your committee appointed under resolution to

tion and received their diploma shall be
entitled to a primary grade certiti cate without
further examination.
After careful consideration Of the subject
having mldo inq uries C0ncernin similar in
Stitutlons in other cities, we believe that this
department of theory and practice might be
successfully conducted in connection with our
city system Of schools. This plan has been
adopted in a large number of cities and car
ried on with satisfactory results, We believe
the establiS hment Of such Il schools legal, IN
support OF which position we respectfully
present the written opinion of the alto rney of
the board, which Is attached hereto. We be.
leve such an adj unct TO our school system to
be en- tirely feast ble. Great mum berS of these
city training schools have been in sue cess full
operation for years. The quality of thework
done IN themis the very best, SOimpOrtant
an adjunct to the general ospcrity of tho
school are they that when once tabshed
they become permanent With the expert
ence OF so many cities TO guide us, THERE'S no
naSonwhy aschOol of this character in Oma
ha should not prove an emf nent success. The
expense need not be large. Only teac hers of
hrst class qualifications sh ould be employed,
The success Of the undertaking will depend
very largely on their character and ability,
The prlncip pal should be worth n salary equ al
to the best paid in the high school, or $500 a
year. The training teachers should receive
perhaps 81 900 each. There will also be a
small additional expense for fuel and ianitor
service for one room.
On the other hand, aseach training teacher
with the assistance of the CADETS helping her,
Will take charge OF two rooms, a regular
] teacher will be displaced by each training

cost Of this de partment. This saving plan

takes to the water at the approach of

presence of an army would not

ternate paws as they fell, and devoured
them with u smack of the chops that
could be heard at the distance Oft hun
dred yards. Bears have been known to
watch turtles for hours and then tear
them to pieces because they showed no
disposition to lay. The eggs are

But as a Matter OF Fact He Didn't Ask

New YORK, Jan. 15.-The Philadelphia Press
published statement recently that the So
called free traders were worried because Mr..
Blaine had demolished Mr.. Gladstone in their
joint discussion Of the tariff question in the
North American Review. 1t was intimated
that ex-President Cleveland was deeply inter-
ested In the matter. Congressman Mills was
requested by Editor Bryce of the Review to
continue the discussion. According to the re-
port he declined until he received message
from MIR. Cleveland urging HIM to do so.
Mr.. Cleveland was seen at his residence by a
reporter and asked if il was true that he had
taken hand in the discussion and requested
Mr. Mills to write an answer to Mr. Blaine.
II have had no communication with Mr..
Mills recently said Mr.. Cleveland, land
have not asked him to write anything. i hope

Mr.. Cleveland did not think Mr. Gladstone
and MIR. Blaine had exhausted the subject.
The agitation of the question of tariff reform
would be beneficial, as the more it was dis

HOW THEY VIEW 1T.
The Tariff Closely Watched by Manu-.
facturers Abroad.

LONDON, Jan. l5-The testimony before the
congressional committee of ways and means
is followed with great interest by European
manufacturers. A slight increase of the tariff
on many lines of goods means a cessation OF
expectation and the almost unanimous
Recommendation of the witnesses that duties
should be made higher fills continental jobbers
and manufacturers with CONSERVATION. They
say, and probably with truth, that owing to
the strict Interpretation of the laws by the
United States cOnsuls IN Europe and the end
less squabble about invoices their business has
been greatly damaged and any additional bur-
den placed upon it would prove ruinous 70
them.
English exporters are more philosophical,
having generally larger capital and growing
outlets for their goods in the colonies but the
un-plate workers are somewhat concerned over
the reported richness of the tin mines in Da-
kota and the possibility of losing their best
market. Bohemian makers of buttons and
other small wares and German manufacturers
OF ladies' wraps and cheap optical goods have
some dim idea that the high tariffs imposed by
the United States are adopted partially a
measure of retribution for the exclusion of
some American food products from those coun-
tries and have proposed to their governments
a relaxation of such laws.
