1t was here proposed by MIR. Jno. w.
Cherry that as Mr.. Old and Mr.. Jenlx-
ms had been opposed to each other as
member-at-large, Mr.. Jenkins be made
the Sixth ward elector, and he thought
there would be no opposition to Mr..
Old as member-at-large. Several coun-
Ter propositions were made, and finally
another vote was taken the names of
Mr.. John j. Samuels and Mr.. John b.
Jenkins being before the meeting. Mr..
Cherry insisted on the election of Mr..
Jenkins with the understanding that
Mr. Old be ele cted member large,
while several others insisted upon Mr..
Samuel's election from the Sixth and
MIR jenkins being made member-at-
large. The vote stood: Samuels %;
jenkins, 10.

Mr.. Jenkins was then elected mem
ber-at-large by reclamation.

No election having been made. another
ballot was taken, Messrs. Morris Ales-
dorf, Harry Butt and DR.. D. S. Harmon

Reply to Criticism by the Chicago
School Board In the Ledger
April q.

Editor Virginian-Pilot:
The Chicago School Board has COM
planned of the system of teaching in
the public schools of that city. saying
that not only pupils. but teachers, were
deficient in spelling, grammar and the
common branches.
1t is true that many times the sys-
TENS are weak, but it Is oftener that
the teacher is unframed. There are
almost as many teachers in the North
and West unframed in psychology and
pedagogy as In the South
There must be n thorough under
standing of the child's mind and how
few apperceiving ideas it has. that any
system may be applied skillfully. This
can be done only by persons trained in
psychology and pedagogy. More minds
are ruined by the unframed trying to
use systems, the psychological basis of
which they do not understand, than IL
they used none.
The day has already come in some
sections of our country when q teacher
not verSed in pedagogy and psychology
cannot obtain situation of any i'm
portance. and it Is one of the requisites
of n principalship. This will be the
case in all sections in a few years.
Education is to-day making more rapid
strides than 1t has ever done before. l
have seen SUPPLEMENTARY who scarcely
knew what the term experimental
psychology meant, demanding teachers
trained in psychology, pedagogy and
child study
Every high school and college must
before long have IT'S department in
these branches. 1t is time that we were
awakening to the necessity of the hour
or the WeSterner will be among us be-
fore we are aware of it; because of bet
ter preparation for the work. They say
that the spelling is bad. No wonder,
when columns of spelling are given by
some of the unframed to the children
in our primary grades, without any ref
erfence to meaning or usage.
These young minds cannot grasp so
many ideas. If they were GiYen five

new words day and expected to know
their meanings and how to use them
In sentences, In a school year of 200
days. that would amount to 1000 words.
NOW that is very good vocabulary for
q 6-year-old. The number of words
should be increased gradually through
the grades and our spelling would be 80
per cent. better. Another cause of fail
ure Is that our studies are isolated.
The child learns geography and puts
1t aside: history. spelling, ETC., In the
same day
The only open sesame for us in this
direction seems to be through nature
study and literature. With these two
as centriums our studies could be COR
related and u skillful teacher could
make all the lessons required for q
primary grade. In nature study the
child could be given the tree for les
son. The arithmetic would be counting
the leaves, branches, ETC., giving all
the combinations according to the
Gurbe Method.
The story of Daphne could be made
the reading lesson. and the story itself
in history would be the beautiful Greek
myth of the tree.
The spelling would be the new words
used in this lesson. The use of them in
written sentences would form the writ
ing lesson. while the geography would
be some OF the important things about
Greece. The language lessons would
require them to tell the story in their
own words.
In this way children would see that
one lesson helped the other and the
Train OF association kept up would helD
them to remember what they learned.
In no other sphere Of life do we need
professional work SO much as in teach
inE. 1t is plain that only traiued people
can do this work properly. 1 agree
with the School Board in condemning
these failures. as nothing is worse
taught In our schools than English.
On the other side, / do not think the
fault in the system, but in the lack of
pedagogical and psychological training
and child study. My advice to every
young teacher is to give much time to
these branches-not to your old mental
studles-but to the real work in a
laboratory. A.. B. w.

FILIPlNos EXECUTED.
GENERAL FUNSTON BEGINS MAX
ING REPRISALS.
tRy Telegraph to virginiun-Pllot.)

10y Telegraph to Virginian-Pllot.)
Manila. April $3.50 D. m.-An in
teresting topic of conversation in army
circles is the investigation of Brigadier-
General Frederick F'unstons execution
of the two Fflipinos and the possibility
of courtmartial resulting therefrom.
The story Is that the F'ilfpinos captured
three Macabahe scouts, who were
crossing the country near San Isidro,
and were preparing to kill them when
one Of the MacababeS escaped and
found General Funston with q scouting
party near. This man guided the
Americans to the rescue of his compan-
ions. and when the troops approached
the Filipinos fed, leaving the AIaca-
babes Several Of the Filipinos were
shot and General Funston captured two
of them, took them to the village square
and hanged them without trial. as a
warning to the Fillpinos. The present
method of warfare and instances of the
mutilation of the prisoners have in
censed the American soldiers to such
degree that they feel justified in MAX
ing reprisals, which has been done
on several occasions recently.
CHINESE GENERAL PANA.
There is strong feeling among the
residents and friendly Filipnos that the
Chinese General Pana, who, as an
nounced March 81, surrendered to Bril-
gadier-General Kobbe, after terrorizing
Inc pIOVHlCe OIL fdndy, SnOulQ pc Sc
Verely punished. It is pointed out that
his career has been more that Of
brigand than a soldier, as he looted and
eXtorted money by torture from veal
thy natives and burned alive some of
his followers who intended to desert
him. 1t is believed Pana surrendered
because he feared his own men, and
that he expected to be paroled, like
other officers. and enjoy the fruits of
his brigandage.
