BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Interesting Report From Supt. Putnam Oh
the School Enrolment.

Interesting Report From Supt. Putnam or
the School Enrolment.
The board of education met last
night with full a tendance. Supt
Putnam presented a report in which he
said: L have the honor to submit here
n it'll a short report of your public
schools for the month end ng Oct. l,
1897. The tabulated report is as fol-
lows:
The total enrolment at the Central
School exclusive of the kindergarten is
329; total enrolment of Mesa school,
1872; total enrolment of Franklin
school, 1913; total enrolment at Sixth
Grade school, 80: total enrolment at
Aoy school, 1853; total enrolment at
Kindergarten, 1OS; total at colored
school, "a; grand total enrolment up
to date, 1927. A number of new pupils
were enrolled ye terday not included in
this report at the Mexican preparatory
school About so children have been
turned away for lack of accommOda-
ton.
The schools have been pretty well
organized, and are doing in all the
departments very good work. The
new teachers are getting along we'll.
Tne prospect for successful term is
very fattering.
Prof. Roach, the new principal OF
the High school, took charge last Mon
day morning. The indications are
that he will do well in his position, and
it is my opinion that you have been
fortunate in securing his services. He
seems to be we'll liked by pupils and
teachers.
The Sixth Grade school on San Fran
cisco street is progressing satisfactorily
under the management Of Misses Gal
lagher and Hunter.
The Aoy school in the new quarters
on South Oregon street is doing as
well as we could expect. All the rooms
of the building are crowded to their
full capacity. We bave not adopted
the plan Of having two sessions a day
with separate divisions, but the prin-
over forty pupils because of lack OF
room.
The tuition collected for the month
is S35 so.
| have suspended for a month one
boy from the Franklin school for gen.

The condit on of the Mexican school
was thoroughly discussed and the board
concluded to put in another teacher,
Miss Lily Smith. 1t also author
lied the external committee to buy a
,hool ground for building in ward 2.
The board by resolution agreed to go
before the city council in a body and
ask for $500 appropriation for i'm

ground to be purchased by sthe exter-

for permanent janitors for the Sixth

CONFRONTING mex
PERIENCE
1t is an old truiSm that 1--WE learn to
do by doing" The d faculties that
most inexperienced teachers are much
the same as the ones met by experience
ed teachers. The difference lies in
knowing how to meet them. White
says. there are three eJ d. to he attain
ed in eoching-knowledge power and
skill. To attain this triple result in
the pupil, requires the presence of all
three in the teacher. inexperienced
teachers are prone to adopt plans of
more experienced teachers, which is
all right in the main, but trouble
arises from the fact that they adhere
too closely to others plans, not allowing
their own common sense and originate
ty to play any part Not every He
brew 'garrior could fight in Saul's ar
NOR. Not every teacher can successfully
use the pedagogue armOr of Socrates.
AS much originally can be shown in
the application of plan as in the de-
vising thereof
The art of school management nat
ura'ly divides itself INTO two intimately
related and supplementary pa ts-teach-
ing proper ana discipline. During the
progress of class work the young teach
err will often fiud that she is not bold
ing the attention of all her class. The
question naturally rises, how can this
evil he cured? The answer to this, OF
course, is, make the lesson interesting.
But this is too general. How can it be
made so? Many use some of the numer-
Gus object lessons which have of late
been so much overdOne. But the way
surer than any such catch-penny
method, is to be yourself full of your
subject. No lesson is so simple, thai
it does not need some preparation or
the part of the teacher, as well as the
pupils. 1t is said that the celebrated
DR.. Arnold, of Rugby, even after
years of experience, never went before
class without special and immed ate
preparation. How much more necessary
then, is preparation of the lesson tt
the inexperienced teacher. In this
preparation special attention should be
given to bringing the subject within
the child iauge OF thought. Another
error fire quently made is the length o
time given the lesson. Have program
and adhere to it.
It is discouraging fact that many
teachers discover early Ia the wOrl
| that the children when taught seem t.
understand subject, and really do a
the time, but after short time hav,
| lost all knowledge of it. This can b.
overcome in one way, and in one wa

ming to do some malicious mischief,

self, or be playing truant in the klon-
dyke, when you think you have him
under your p RECT control. Forced
stiffness with nothing back of it but
arbitrary authority is tyrany, and it's
influence IS d moralzing.
Stiffness may mean mental stagna-
ton or at least suppression, for there
are teachers who seem to have good
order, and yet are very poor teachers
for they do not go beyond that-they
do not educate.
While we may have fairly good order
without good teaching, We all know
! that there cannot be good tea:hlng
without good order. How shall we
obtain it? If it to do were as easy as

shall we do with the idle, the restless
and the a lively mischievous? If the

Gent work, as it sometimes does in the
case of unusually bright children, give
them extra work. Have an example
on the board; say to them they may

the exact answer. If ideness springs
from constitutional dislike to work,
then the spur must be used, and if idle
habits are persisted in to the marked
detriment of the work, punishment
must follow. For general restlessness,
complete change of work is a most
efficient remedy. Some physical exer-

For active mi chief, the Individual

IDEAL ORDER IN THE SCHOOL ROOM.
Ideal order in the school room to
my mind, il that order which shows
every member of the school cOncen
tratipg his a ,tentiOn upon the work in
hand, and never at any time infringing
upon the rights of others. 1t is that
order which results from each child s
taking an intense interest in the work.
and by his being inspired by that spirit
which prompts him to do right, not
fear of punishment, not to
obtain any extraneous reward that
promot@s selfshness, but from a desire
to work for the good of all.
Some one has sal that an ideal that
may be fully realized in ones life time
is low one. 1 think you will admit
that mine is at least not that, for | co
TESS that l do not expect to see its
realization unless l live to see the

it worth while to strive for the best.

A GREAT REMEDY
For Sufferers From Piles.

Dr. Redmond, a specialist in the
study and treatment of Piles and rectal
diseases, recently stated that the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure, the new discovery for
the cure of piles, was the most remark
able remedy he had ever seen or tried
in one respect; and that was, the in
slant relief experienced in all cases, no
matter how severe from the moment
the remedy was applied; this was the
more surprising to him, because he had
carefully analysed the preparation and
no trace of opium, cocaine or similar
poison could be detected.
Physicians look with great favor up
on the Pyramid Pile Cure. because it
is rapidly taking the place of surgical
operations and because it is 50 simple,
so easily applied and contains no min
eral or other poisons so commonly used
in pile cures.
Dr. Eastbrook reports that the Pyra
mid Pile Cure not only cures the vari-
Gus forms of Piles, but never fails to
give immediate relief on the first ap-
plication, no matter how severe the
pain or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often astonished at the
instant relief experienced from the first
application. Another important ad-
vantage is the fact that anyone can
use the remedy without detention from
business or interference with daily oc
cupation Sold by druggists at so cents
per package.

MANcLED AN UNKNOWN TRAMP.
Horrible Death ON the Rails ON the
st. Louis Road.

An unknown man, apparently a tramp or
laborer, met horrible death early last even
Ing by being run over and mangled beyond
recognition by the st. Louis passenger train
which leaves Minneapolis at els p. m. The
accident occurred about half a mile this side
Of Minnetonka Mills.
When the train rounded a curve the man s
PROSTATE form was seen lying on the track
about $50 feet ahead. The train was stopped
as soon as possible, but not until the man
had been run over and his body literally cut
TO pieces. The only portion of the body which
was not manged was the head This was
almost cut off clean from the shoulders, and
was found $50 feet nearer Hopkins than the
rest of the body.
From what could be learned no blame at
taches to the train employees. The man was
lying PROSTATE on the track and it was i'm
possible 10 bring the train to a stop sooner
than was done. There Is a superstition that
the unfortunate victim had been trying to
steal a ride a train which had passed be-
fore, and had been thrown off or injured, SO
that he fell off and was unable to rise from
the track.
The man was apparently about thirty years
light complexion, had light, stubby mustache
and about two days growth of beard. His
clothes were Of the common kind, and his
shoes were Of the cheapest make and well
worn. Nothing found on his clothes by
which he could be identified.
Coroner DENIES was notified by telegraph
of the accident and LEFT for the scene of the
accident to view the remains.
