FORTY YEARS EXPERIENCE,
ABlIENEs TRAINING SCHOOL.
supt. Shirk Gives tho Reasons for
IT. Diacontinuenoe.


In the School and Home this month
supt. Shirk gives tho following ex-
PLANTATION Of the workings Of the
Abilene training school:
Under the above title, the School
and Fireside says; "As we predict
ed last fall that Supt Gray's plan
would prove a failure, we wish TO
say now that the prediction has
come true" Now, we have no per-
sonal interest in Supt. Gray or his
"plan" but we always defend the
truth. The plan was not q failure
in any sense. We were in posi-
ton to observe it critically and
know whereof we speak. The plan
was to add one year to the high
school course for those who wished
to become teachers and give them
training under an expert teacher,
and incidentally to economize. The
result was that the children made as
much advancement as the same
grades in the other building. The
pupil teachers did efficient work as
is evidenced by the fact that four
Of them have been employed as reg
ular teachers. No more complaint
was made against the work in the
four rooms of the training depart
ment than was made against the
work Of the same four rooms in
previous years. Seven out of the
ten members Of the board declare
the plan a success. The plan was
discontinued partly because the
superintendent was made principal
of the high school in addition to his
other duties, and partly because
there is no immediate need to con-
tinue it. The opposition to the plan
sprang from three sources, princi-
pally, ignorance, jealousy and per-
sonal enmity.
The only mistake Supt. Gray
made was changing the pupil-teach-
ers from one room to another
monthly. This was the principal
cause Of complaint. As a temper
airy expedient it was success. We
would not advise it as a permanent
feature. We should have more nor
NAL schools for this purpose.

B. L. Alexander, the catcher who
took Staatz's place, is daisy. He is
a Harrington railroad man, lively as a
cricket and dead onto his job. The
way he watched things and called for
.judgment' kept the crowd laughing.
Alexander is all right.
The story Of the game is not an ex-
citing one. From the start the home
team had the advantage and kept it.
The visitors batted Summers freely
in the LIST and End innings but he re-
covered and made strong showing
during the latter half of the game
throwing the best ball he has put up
this season. In the first inning
neither scored. Matteson struck out,
Strother fell down in a slide,
Alexander failed to reach first. The
soldiers never touched first. In the
second Giles made two Dagger
bringing in two. The soldiers scored
two on the same kind Of plays. Wild
throwing in the field gave the visitors
4. Abilene was growing nervous by
this time. The home team redeemed
itself next time, piling up 6, the wish
tors helping out by wild fielding.
The soldiers went out in one, two,
three order. In the 9th Abilene was
again in its element. Matteson made
a star play over the fence and came
home while the crowd cheered. Later
on he famed out and the crowd
yelled louder. The visitors were
ratified and did nothing. In the 9th,
9TH and 9Th Abilene made no progress
except strike over the fence by
Sommers who trotted around to the
music of Hail to the Chief" A wild
throw by Matteson in the 9TH gave
the visitors start and they rolled up
8 following one in the 9Th. In the
9th Abilene added 8 making the total

Tom reached this city yesterday after
