benefit OF many ways of teachers.
Among the superntendent's suggestions
which conclude the report are tho following:
That kIndergartens be started in all districts,
and that children under years De allowed to
enter; that the classification of pupils permit
them to advance strictly according to abilities:
be introduced in grades below the high school;
that simple industrial work be required in at
least the grammar grades; that sewing be taught
the girls Of the fourth and fifth grades; that
complete reference libraries be placed in every
school building; that pupils ,. be not
healthy places, and hence THAI other
school buildings be erected at once;
that physical culture be encouraged: t.;at cabi-
nets be supplied and cole ton OF specimens en-
eOuraged; that kindergarten schools be limited
to thirty and regular schools to forty pupils
each; that measures be taken for the payment
OF all salaries and expenses in cash. thereby
stopping the interest on warrants.

THEYCRY FOR WATER

Transfers Grievance.
Err SUPPLY TURNED OFF.

Superintendent Wilson, of the water works, Is
being more or less sworn at by 453 indignart
but delinquent consumers of water. since
September 10 the inspector has been busy turn
ing off water where the rates have not been
paid. The ordinance requires that al! water
rents shall be paid in advance by the 10th OF
every month"; but the rule hns not been kept
very strictly heretofore. Recently, however,
receipts have been used on which 10 printed in
red the following notice:
Water will be shut off from delinquents with
out notice. Water rates payable monthly at the
city water office III advance on or before the
10th of each month.
Notwithstanding this. the delinquencies had
increased in number to 453 and the amount to
si,So69o 1t was decided, however, not to shut
off any water except whers two months rent
was due. This has been done. with the result
that superintendent Wilson has raised hor-
nets nest
Another man with grievance against Super
intendent Wilson is Edward f. Ingersoll, the
teamster. He says he was employed by the
water Office to haul pipe, etc, along the water
front, but the board of works has taken the
work from him-a poor man-and given it to
the Seattle Transfer Company, which is another
illustration OF the tendency to mako "the rich
richer and the poor poorer as Mr. lngersoli
says. Mr.. Van BrockIin says, however:
1t is only q matter of business. Mr.. Ingersoll
has a very inferior team, not suited to the heavy
but We give the heavy hauling to the transfer
company because it has suitable appliances for
moving and hauling. Altogether we save just
half the cost by the new arrangement
