THE SCHOOLMASTERS
Pedagogues Discuss Many Things and
Are Happy

The Schoolmasters' club met at the
rooms of the board of education last
night. Nearly all of the men prominent
in local educa tional circles We're present
and the exercises were of great interest
President Plummer presided and Prof
F. A. Bonelle acted as secretary. After
the staid members of the club had some
what rejuvenated themselves by sing
ing an ancient college song about sleigh
riding, 1t began the discussion of the
subject of school text books. Prof.
Millard Mr. Keppel and Mr.. Simonton of
the board of education spoke in favor of
the California system of text books.
Profs. Ennis, Carlson, Rowell, Housh,
Phillips and Moore were decided op-
posed to the use of the California system
now in use. They considered the books
now in use as antique and very much in
ferior to those used in most eastern
states.
The next question considered was the
subject of truancy. and the best way to
amend the state law on that subject.
Prof. Ennis read paper on that subject
and argued in favor of the appointment
of truancy officers and compulsory edu-
cation. Prof. S. H. Moore was in favor
of the establishment of a "truants'
school, in each large city. Prof. Ku-
nou thought that complete system of
manual training schools would prove to
be the most effective cure for truancy.
The herald., 1896-12-19

Prof. Hutchison claimed that much CT
the present evil is caused by the ''freez-
ing out" process in vogue in many
schools, where the teachers are either
unable or unwilling to control all of the
children of their respective schools. He
did not believe in special schools for
truants, but in qualified teachers for all
schools. Prof. Phillips claimed that the
law was inadequate and should be
amended to suit existing circumstances.
Profs. Carlson. Ennis and Housh were
appointed as committee to prepare a
resolution to submit to the state legiala-
ture asking for the enactment of suit
able law concerning truancy
The club adjourned to meet at the
same place on the third Friday of Jan
uary. Those present last night were G.
w. Simonton of the board of education,
Professors Ennis, Housh Leslie. Plum
mer, McPherron. Millar6, Henry, Mou-
lux, Phillips, Rowell, Moore, Dolland

FEIGNING INSANITY.
A Negro Prisoner in the City Jail Whose
Scheme Failed

Tom Newman, a negro at present con-
fined in the city Jail awaiting examina-
ton on the felony charge of petty larce-
ny with a prior conviction, took a sud
den notion yesterday to try the insanity
dodge, and so far succeeded in his at
tempt as to cause Jailer Robbins to cal!
in DR.. Bryant to examine him.
Newman kept continually asking
when he was to get out, and desired to
go home that he might see his wife. He
picked up his coat and, carrying it under
his arm, marched up and down the corri-
dor of the tank mutterng to himself and
keeping his eyes glued on the ceiling
At supper time he refused to eat and sat
with his eyes popping out of his head un-
til the arrival of the physician. After a
short examination the physician came
to the conclusion that the fellow was
only shamming, so instead of going TO
the hospital he was sent back to his cell
to act as queerly as he pleased.

BY Henry Steere, captain. and Robert
8. Parsons, George I. McKeeby and A.
M. Niles, committee
There were cheers for Light Battery
A, and then the speaking commenced.
THE SPEECHES.
Gen. Johnstone Jones was first intro
duced by the chairman as one who wore
the gray in the late war. Gen. Jones, af-
ter reviewing the history of Spain and
her American colonies. and the strug-
gles by which they had thrown off the
yoke of the mother country, said that
he believed the hour had come when the
government Of the United States should
recognize the independence of Cuba and
it was the duty of the people of this
country to uphold the hands of those
patriotic senators and representatives
who are striving to bring about this re-
suit. This cruel war should be stopped
not only on the grounds of humanity,
but for political reasons. Cuba was in
American waters. and as a political
proposition it was right that the Amer
lean flag should float over that island
The speaker deprecated the monstrous
argument that the United States should
not interfere in Cuban affairs because
the population of that island was COM
posed of negroes and mulattoes. OF the
population of Cuba 500,00 were colored
people, 900 were white natives and
there were 1000 Spaniards. These peo-
pie were entitled to free government
and they should have it. The United
States should at once recognize the in
dependence of Cuba, and If Spain does
not like it, then let them make the best
of it, Should it be necessary to go to
war, the people of the United States
would not shirk the responsibility and
California stood prepared to meet every
demand that might be made on her
After selection by the Seventh Reg
iment band, under the leadership of
George Cam, during which the audi
ence arose, Frank A. Dominguez was in
troduced as the next speaker, and de-
livered an eloquent address, The speak
er said that he was glad to place himself
on record in favor of Cuban ndepend-
ence. We were not assembled to stir up
strife and fan the war fire, but had gath
