ADDRESS AT A LOCAL COM
MENCEMENT.
TRAINING OFF THE HAND AND EYE
Is Esteemed by the People of That
City to Be of the Highest
Value.

DIR. A. F.. Nightingale, superintendent
of the Chicago high schools, who de-
livered the address at the graduating
exercises of the Mechanic Arts high
school last night, has this to say con-
corning the proposed adjustment of
the manual training school:
Chicago has fourteen high schools,
of which one is a manual training, or
Mechanic Arts school. The people Of
Chicago would abolish all the other
thirteen high schools rather than dis
turb this one. The city is about to
purchase a site on which will be erect
ed a model manual training school. JIM
mediately after the burning Of the
manual training school last November
the city leased a new five-story factory
building in order that the schOl might
net be crippled in any respect-and Chi
cago is as hard pressed~tody for money
as any city in the country. deter
mined spirit exists there not to do any
thing to injure the school system, and
especially not to curtai1 the technical
or hand training departments of the
school. Such is the interest in the prac-
teal methods Of training that the city
! is about to establish a commercial high
school
81 am surprised, therefore, at any
indication of disposition on the part
of such progressive city as st. Paul
to take any steps that would look like a
lack of appreciation Of the magnificent

RULES BY TELEPHONE.
Mayor Doran Not Too Sick to Make
Appointments.

Acting Mayor Bigelow is thinking
seriously Of tampering with the tele-
phone line that connects with the resi-
dence of Mayor Doran, especially if he
is to serve the city as chief executive
during the illness of the West side
statesman. Monday afternoon Samuel
GustafsOn, resident of the Eleventh
ward, nearly paralyzed the acting
mayor annd Secretary Corning by call
ing at the mayors Office and announc-
ing that he would not accept the posi-
ton of dog catcher, to which he had
been appointed by Mayor Doran, Satur-
day last AS soon as the acting mayor
could recover from the shock of the
announcement by. Gustafson, he dis
patched Patrolman Miller, who acts
as private messenger in the office, to
the extreme end Of the Fifth ward
with instructions to return to the office
at once a certain Individual. The idea
of the acting mayor was to appoint the
Fifth ward worker as dog catcher to
I'LL the vacancy caused by the refusal
Of Gustafson to act. Miller, who has
been connected with the mayors office
sufficient length Of time to know a
thing or two, at once started on the
mission Of the acting mayor. It is
surmised that somewhere on the way
Miller teiephoned to the residence of
Mayor Doran and gave him a tip as
to the coup d'etat which was contemp-
lated. Miller apparently all uncon-
scious Of what was to be pulled off.
returned to the Office with the acting
mayors constituent, and everything
locker serene. Before any definite ar
rangements could be made, however,
the telephone bell in the mayors Office
jingled and some one inquired for the
acting mayor. Stepping to the phons
the acting chief executive was surprise
to hear the voice of Mayor Doran. If
the voice could be said to have startled
the acting mayor the talk that followed
rendered him almost speeches.. What
the message was did not leak out until
yesterday morning, but when Nat
Simpson, of the Third ward. was ap-
pointed dog catcher in place Of Gustaf-
son the whole secret was out. Simpson.

was reported last evening that the act
ing mayor had concluded not to dis
turb the telephone in the residence Of
