IRVING SCHOOL, TOO.
Branch of the Citizens Union
Organized There


. The constituency Of the Irving school
at the Irving school, Grand avenue and
Grotto street, for the purpose of or
ganizing branch Of the ST. Paul Pub
lie School union. The committee on
nominations appointed at a prelimi-
mary meeting held April % reported
that it had selected for president Nor.
ton Barrows; vice president. VIM.
On notion the officers named In the re-
port were ih1Ade the choice of the meet
ing. A nur1per of teachers were pres
ent and EXPRESSED themselves as very
DESTROYS of having the parents visit
the school more frequently. They were
sure If the parents would become ia
miliar with the methods employed in
the public schools. they would become
more interested in their work. The
president then asked all those who
had not visited the school twice during
the year to stand. Only about seven
remained seated. The school library
was discussed, and it was decided that
at the future meetings Of the union.
special consideration would be given
that particular branch. In the general
discussion which followed several shor-
addresses were made by citizens. One
man thought the Public School union
should not NEEDLE or dictate in any
matter that was not germane to the
welfare Of the public schools. Another
thought people would not be so free
to criticise the public schools If they
knew Of the particular methods there
employed, as, he said: mo fair-mind-
ed person, after seeing the work done
in the public schools. could have one
word Of criticism"
Mr.. Morton Barrows, the president,
said there was a necessity for a close
cooperation and sympathy between
the parents and the teachers, in order
to understand the individual charac-
teristics Of each child, as there We're
probably no two children in the school
who were alike, and in consulting with
the parents better understanding of
the temperament Of the child could be
had. Mr.. Barrows appointed delegates
to the meeting Of the central union
next Monday. after which the meeting
adjourned.

HELD UP A PAY ROLL.
Board of Public Works "SmelIs q
MnnSQ.c

The pay roll of the street sewer force for
the three weeks ending May l. amounting
to $13,SSS, was sent by the city engineer to
the board of public works yesterday. for .ap-
prevail. 1t ives expected that the roll would
go to the board of aldermen last evening
for passage, but the roll was he'd up, and
the result will be that the 800 men will not
get chance to draw their pay as soon as
expected
The board, In looking over the pay roll,
found D. H. Gregg, one Of the foremen down
for eight days pay at $3.50 per day. The
regular wages of foremen are 81 per day, and
the board asked for information as to how
Mr.. Gregg was paid so cents more per day
than the others. The advice from the city
engineers office was that Gregg had worked
ten hours per day, while the other foremen
only put in eight hours. President Copeland,
however, could not understand how it was
that if Gregg, as foreman, worked ten hours,
why the men who were employed in his force
were not given money for the additional two
hours they put in. There did not seem to
be any explanation to why this had not
been done, and, in consequence, the roll was
returned to the city engineer without being
approved.

The above is the question put to
Forest D. Varnam, one of the candi-
dates for the position of assistant wire
inspector in the ST. Paul fire depart
ment, by one of the examining COM
mission, last night, and the very
prompt reply he made to it.
Varnam was selected unanimously
by the board upon the recommendation
of the commission, which consisted Of
Messrs. w. H Merrill Jr., electrician
of the Natior Board of Fire Under

the Edison company, and B. L. Freely,
of the St. Paul Telephone Exchange,

sition, created by city ordinance, which

invited the commission above AIMED to

Each man was adn1ittedO 0end ques-
toned separately, Mr.. Merrill doing
most of the quizzing. This process
over with. the commission withdrew,
and in a few minutes reported that
Messrs. Varnam, Mcbride and Swan
strom, in the order named, were ranked
as being competent, the others being
marked too low to warrant further
consideration. Mr.. Merrill thanked the
board for having invited the commits
sion to participate in the matter which
so vitality affected the interests they
represented. The man chosen must be
qualified technically, he must meet the
business men Of the city and must have
tact and discretion, so as to fittingly
represent the board. The board then
went into executive session, and were
not long deciding in favor Of Varnam,
although he was not known personally
to any member.
He is ,thirty-two years Of age, has
had fourteen years Of experience, six
of which have been in this city. For
the last four years he has been foreman
Of the Claussen-Bonwell Electric COM
pany.
The question was raised by the COM
mission, before the quizzing began, as
to whether the successful candidate
was to be expected to visit fires with
the department and supervise the work
of cutting or disconnecting electric and
other wires, or simply guard against
defective wiring, ETC., which might
cause CONGREGATIONS. This President
Freeman, after questioning Chief Jack
son as to his men and other ability to
attend to the matter of wires at fires,
decided to leave undetermined, and the
board will settle the question before
