ovERwoRK IN SCHOOL.


The question OF the work required OF
children IN the elementary schools Is
being carefully considered by am edu-
oauonal commission In Chicago, and
the conclusion reached so far Is that
the prescribed course Of elementary
studies Is both too extensive and n-
sufficient II embraces subjects which
might probably be left out, and IL
gives too little attention to other SUBJ
jects We believe these conclusions
would be conourred in generally by edu-
Gators.
The report Of the commission says
the work required Of the children
should be materially reduced" Il sug-
gests that algebra should be omitted
from the elementary course and that
other elmluauons in the course Of
mathematics might be made to adyan-
tagc. II is further recommended that
geography and history be concurrent
studies and taught from the Textbook
from the fifth 20 the eighth year in
stead Of the fifth and sixth years. and
that special attention be placed upon
photography and commercial geogra-
ply
The report points out that pupils
who have finished the elementary
schools as O rule are deficient 10 Eng.
llsh. They can neither speak nor write
the language IN an acceptable manner
This deficiency IS a serious handicap to
business and good citizenship. Every
pupil finishing the elementary school
should be well grounded IN technical
grammar and be able TO speak and
write the language with a reasonable
degree OF facility and accuracy To
that end more thorough and eX-
tended course IN grammar studied from
q textbook is recommended. "
in order 10 leave more time for the
English language, the commission sug-
gests that no language other than Eng
llsh be taught below the high school,
and that the time now taken for them
he devoted 10 English and civil govern
pent.
There Is no more important subject
than the proper education Of the chill

Crime Of a Jealous Man.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.--John w. Esson,
or Essing, of Chicago, today fred two
bullets, one into the head and the other
into the body Of his friend and associate,
Harold S. Stridiron, and then thrust the
muzzle of the revolver between his teeth
and sent bullet through his own head.
The suicide expired Immediately. His
victim has fighting chance for his life.
The police are of the opinion that the
man who attempted the murder and then
committed suicide was crazed by the ex-
treme heat and drink and jealousy. The
police have been unable TO obtain from
the employees of the Hotel Vendome,
where the shooting occurred clear,
connected statement of the affair. Both
men came from Chicago originally.
Esson, or Essing, is said to have been a
prosperous contractor in that city. Both
men had been drinking heavily. Mrs.
Lillian Hayes, who claims to have known
the dead man in Chicago and to have
loaned him 81 900 worth of diamonds on
Saturday, because he was in desperate
circumstances, called OH the coroner to-
day. The coroner was unable to find any
trace of the missing jewelry. Mrs. Hayes
requested the authorities to turn the
property of Stridiron over to her, but
this was refused. To reporter Mrs.
Hayes said that Esson brought his friend
around to see her and soon grew jealous.
Mrs. Hayes said if he had not been drink
ing he would not have been jealous.
