DISCUSS THE HIGH SCHOOL.
Interesting Papers Read mt the Ma.
tiOnnI Council of Educatton

MILWAUKEE. Wis, July 5-The Ma
tonal Council of Education, which meets
Prior to the National Educational Associa-
uon, began its first session here this morn
ing, most Of the members being present
The morning session was devoted to The
High School and its Functions and a re-
port of the committee on secondary schools
The report was delivered by its chairman n
w. ii. bartholomew. 1t covered an inyes-
tlgation as to the high schools of forty-six
cities, including most of the principal ones
in the country. From this report ii ap-
peared that one-half of l per cent of the
scholastic population. or 10 per cent of the
number entering, gradua ted from the high
schools With few eXceptiCrs the sch0ois
are in public favor. Many have we'll
selected libraries while others are permit
ted to use public libraries furnished bv the
city or state Fifty per cent have a regu-
lar course in physical tfaining The north
ana east, with few exceptions, tend to CO.
education, but the south and west to the
opposite. There is a growing sentiment in
favor of separation.
Inc afternoon was given up to tba
esthetic element in education, which was
considered by Mr.. John Dewey of the ITni
yersity of Chicago, w. T Harris. United
States commissioner of education, and Miss
Mary Nicholson, principal of the Normal
School at Indianapolis.

AFRAID TO COMPLIMENT.
Department Officials Fear Their Words
May he Used Against Them.


A number of public officials within the
scope of the civil service law. occupying
positions of so confidential and important
character as to make it necessary that some
one in political accord with the administra-
ton should succeed them have had reason to
regret that the civil service law provides
that no one within the classified service
should be removed because of his political
opinions. Such being the law, heads of
departments have not been inclined to
openly acknowledge that they desire the
der not to go on record violating the
civil service law they have been obliged
70 inform the official whose place was de-
sired that the change was to be made for
the good of the public service" This rea-
son naturally has given an inference in all
such cases that the official whose place was
desired lacked efficiency.
In one instance an official who had
worked hard for four years to establish a
reputation, was ready to vacate, and hoped
to do SO in a. pleasant way. He looked
forward TO q courteous meeting of his Su-
perlor officer and to pleasant farewell
with the clerks of his office. 1t happened
that the head of his department, knowing
him to be an able lawyer, feared that what
ne might say in courtesy would be used in
testimony before the civil service commits
sion 10 prove a violation of law. For that
reason he decided not to deal very extern
sively in courtesies and merely informed
the official that his place was wanted in
order to have a more efficient emSlove
ordinarily the official would have been al
lowed to depart with some pleasant COM
pllmeEts ringing in his ears, but the fear
OF the law made the exchange of courtesies
practically impossible.

PRESIDENTS MOTHER HURT

CANTON. Ohio, July 5.-President Nc
kinley arose at an early hour this morn
Ing. The thermometer has been in the
nineties all morning. 1t did not get much
below ninety during the night. The Presi-
dent undertook to take a stroll through
the yard before the sun was high in the
heavens. He found his aged mother up
and sitting on the front perch. After q
short walk with her he went into his room
to take morning shave. He had no more
than fairly begur than Mother Mckinley
met with a serious accident for one OF
her age. In walking on the porch a piece
OF straw carpeting had slipped as she took
a step and she fell to the tioor striking her
forehead over the eyes on a door step.
She Was Able to Rise.
Although lightweight years old she was
not SO stunned but that she was able to
arise in a few moments and walk to a
stand, where she washed away the blood
which flowed from the wound but made
light of the occurrence to Miss Helen Nc
kinley, who happened in. The President 8
sister, however, instantly notified him that
his mother was hurt, and finding 4 deep
cash in her head he did not wait to sum-
mon a messenger, but started in haste TO
secure a doctor. Mother Mckinley con-

sisted a little court plaster would fix il.
Her courage was admirable when the doc
tor found the cut so deep to require sew
ing up. This she would have done without
taking an anaesthetic.
Resting Easily at Noon.
At noon she did not seem to be suftec-
ing seriously from the shock and was rest
ing easily.
The string of callers at the house did not
begin until scIne time after this accident,
the news of which did not reach the citi
zens for some hours.
4 lawn picnic on the grounds of Miss
Buckingham's private school, just across
the street from the Mckinley homestead,
was the program for later this afternoon.
Miss Buckingham will accompany the Nc

LOOKING FOR A LOST AERONAUT.
Mystery Surrounding Finding of {,
Floating Basket at Evanston, Ill.

CHICAGO, July 5.-Evanston life savers
are locking for lost aeronaut When they
find him they will restore to him his bal
loon. The airship is riding the surface
of Lake Michigan, about three miles off
the Evanston station, but it is anchored.
and TIE aeronaut can have it on applica-
ton When the balloon was first sighted
the life-saving crew ran out their boat,
and after hard pull managed to capture
il. The life savers say the balloon is of
the kind used for long voyages, and not the
hot air kind sent up by parachute jumpers.
Besides the basket is the kind used by
balloonists for long trips, parachute leapers
Cnly employing trapeZe. The runaway bal
loon vas first seen to strike the lake few
miles off Rogers Park. 1t SWOOped down
from a great height, and at the first plunge
the car went under the waves and was
Dragged along a cons.deIabl distanc e
under water. Sometimes the balloon would
mount upward and lift the ten or fif-
teen feet above the waves, and then dive
down, and again immerse the basket.
There We're no balloon ascensions so far as
known around Chicago yesterday and the
presence of the balloon over the lake is a
mystery.
