best teachers possible. One thing more
is needed in order that a city may
have good teachers; that is to
guard well admission to the
corps and to subject all new
appointees to sufficient period of pro-
baton und + close supervision. To ac-
complish this it is necessary to have a
rigid system of examination for all
whose educational qualifications are
not fully known. Much has already
been accomplished by the board to raise
the standard by adding algebra and eIe :
mentary science to the elementary ex-
animation, and L recommend that in the
near future general history and Amer.
lean literature be added To this list.
The cnange in the rule by which di-
plomas of tirstclass colleges can be ac.
cepted in place of our examination is a
step in the right direction. and will tend
to improve the scholarship OF the

Teachers Training School.
"The main source of supply is, and
must inevitably for some time to come
be, the teachers training school. While
1t may be illogical for city to support
normal school, is is an illogical neces-
sity. The tact is, we cannot get, from
outside sources, an adequate supply of
thoroughly competent teachers. In
this our experience is fully in accord
with that Of other cities. Nearly all
cities of any considerable size in this
country nave been compelled to estab-
llsh training schools to supply their
own needs, and those cities that have
abolished those schools and attempted
to obtain their teachers from other
sources, have been compelled to re-
establish them. The most notable in
stance of this is Chicago.
I'm my judgment, the question for
this board to consider is not shall we
continue the training school; but how

manu- look RarC.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-This afternoon as
several members of the Baltimore base
ball team were walking through a halls
way Of the fremont house Just before
leaving for the grounds they were
startled by seeing a man with his head
covered with blood run screaming from
a room. Before the astoniShed bali
players could get their breath
the man had run down the stairs and
disappeared. An instant later another
man bOlted from the room down the
stairs and into the street. The entire
affair is involved in mystery. The sec
ond man to run from the room appeared
at the hotel Wednesday and reg
istered as l.. Ii. Hand, of Minneapolis.
Nothing was known of him, and he ap-
peared and acted like quiet business
man. This afternoon he went up to his
room in company with another man.
In three minutes after the two entered
the room the second man ran out yell
ing: He's trying to rob and murder
me." He ran down into the street,
and an instant later Hand followed
him and neither man has since been
seen. In Hands room was found the
sleeve of a flannel shirt filed with
sand. 1t was covered with blood, and
hal evidently been used by Hand to
assault the other man. The police are
working on the case, but have no clew
which promises anything.

them upon those nobIer themes.
"The practical application of all this
is: the child learns to read by reading
the best literature: he learns the art of
expressing himself in language, draw
Ing, or mechanical construction by the
art of expressing himself. Hence, the
rst essential to the teaching of these
arts is to interest him in noble themes
and to stimulate desire to express his
thoughts.
"The child should learn the art of
calculation, and should cultivate his
number sense by making calculations
and computations such as he is actually
compelled TO make in actual life.
''ln connection with the teaching OF
mathematics in the schools the intro
duction of algebra and geometry into the
grammar grades has proven of great
value, especially in developing the
higher uses of mathematics. The work
in geometry has been in the main more
satisfactory than that in algebra.
Manual Training.
''At the beginning of the last school
year manual training Was extended to
all grades above the third. and special
teachers were employed to give the in
structlon. The result was most pleasing
to those who have advocated man ual
training for all boys. Boys like to deal
with real things. They like to see
tangible results of their labors. If they
can do this no labor is too great.
