OBJECT TO NEW RULE
School Principals Proter AGAINST
Teaching Every Gas
0nce Mcash.

superintendent Christensen had his
first brush yesterday with The prin-
cipals Of the public schools. The super
intendent called them together at the
close Of the general meeting of teach
ers yesterday noon. when the an
ncuncement was made that hereafter
the principals would be required to
teach every class in his school at least
once a month. This and the other
innovation of requiring the teachers to
keep tab" on the principals and the
supervisors stirred the principals as
they have not been moved for many
years. They had heard Of the new
rules which superintendent Christen-
sen had promulg gated, with the advice
and consent of the committee on teach
ers and school work. but which have
not yet been formally passed upon By
the board Of education. The principals
have opinions of their own as to what
is best for school management and
many Of them are not afraid to ex-
press their opinions to the superin-
tend mt.
superintendent Christensen defend
ed the rules proposed as conducive to
better results and gave little assurance
that the new order OF things would be
modified.
The discussion was general. Some
Of the principals took pointed excep-
ton to the system Of espionage on
that is without any justification. 9th
ers advanced the proposition that it
would be unWise to put the iron clad
rale Of teaching into force without al
lowing any latitude.
Many Of the principals of the larger
schools took the stand that they are
now devOting all the time consistent
with the best results that can be given
to all classes in their buildings. and
that to start the innovation Of inflexf-
bly, requiring principals to teach every
class at least once a month would
alone take more than half of their time
and still put them in no closer touch
with the work as a whole as many
as twenty rooms, with two classes To-
a room, multiplied by the studies in
each class. showed the magnitude of
the work for twenty days of school in
g month.
These principals made the further
point that the most important work in
their schools is in the eighth grade
classes, where they devote the spare
time after sufficient supervision is
given to the other classes. In some
cases. however. certain teachers need
more supervision than others. and they
expressed the belief that it would be
folly 10 pin them down by an inhexi-
bic rule without regard to varying con-
ditions.
One Of the principals scored a strong
point in the estimation of her col
leagues by declaring that there is as
much consistency IN requiring a high
official Of a railroad to periodically
take the desk Of every clerk in all de-
partments in rotation to test his fit
ness for occupying a position of man
agement and direction.

Fourth Precinc
NEW ELECTION LAW.
Voters Who Have Moved hay Be
Permitted to Vote.

The Republican politicians Of the
city are in a quandary as 10 whether
TO put into force through the proper
officials a new feature of the election
law. At the recent session of the leg
islature that part Of the law relating
to registration Of voters was amended
so as to make it possible for any cleo
tor who moves from one voting dis
trict to another within the city to OBJ
tain from the registration officer Of
the district he or She moves from a
certificate showing that the name OF
such voter has been taken of the Of
fetal register and list and that the
holder is entitled to be registered in
any other district as qualified voter
at any time prior to the day Of cleo
ton. Heretofore the law has not per-
mitted any voter who moves before
election day to another district TO
vote If his or her change of residence
IS to a district outside of the precinct
or municipal ward. The purpose Of
the amendment is to make precinct
and city co-extensive and synonymous,
thereby doing away with the some
times Objectionable part of the old
law.
The county commissioners and the
county clerk. acting under the advice
of the county attorneys Office, are
making the usual preparations for the
coming city election. in so far as the
filing of vacancies in the corps of reg
istrars is concerned. and giving them
instructions about their duties in reg
istering voters. This matter is under
Amusement by the county officials AMI
the proposition is favored Of declaring
the city one precinct for the purpose
Of making the amended provision on
registration operative. but not as to
election of city councilmen.
It was said yesterday that the Re
publicans hoped to benefit by the pro-
posed effectiveness to be given to the
new law. but the doubt had not vet
been settled that it might be a move
that would hereafter rise up to plague

100 MILE RACE
WON BY LAWSON
Swede Defeats Billy King by
Three Laps.
BOTH RIDERS EXHAUSTED
LAWSON WAS CARRIED FROM
WHEEL AT FINISH.

The hundred mile race at the saucer
track last evening between John Law
son and W. F. King was one of the
hardest fought contests ever pulled OFF
on the saucer. These two men are ap-
parently evenly matched and all the
reserve force of nature was brought
into use by both men. Lawson had to
be carried from his wheel to the train
ing quarters after the ride and King
was in but little better condition The
race was remarkably close for such a
distance and every lap gained was
fought for with determination by both
men,
For the first fifty miles Lawson rode
the better race and then held the lead
of nearly a mile only by the greatest
effort When there was but ten miles
to go it looked as if King would make
a strong finish and win, but the hero
of the twenty-four hour race could not
stand a fast enough pace for the final
effort. Both riders was well supplied
with pace and no trouble was expert
enced on account of the motors.
At S.39 the riders started on their
long journey. For the first ten miles
the men kept even, neither one trying
TO gain much advantage, and it looked
like waiting game. Lawson began
TO push his antagonist during the next
ten miles and made several attempts to
go around. The twenty miles were COW
cred in 1920 or a little under a two
minute clip.
King began to show signs of fatigue,

but gamely held on. On the twenty
elghth mile Lawson gained the first
lap easily, King apparently nearly
gone Lawson kept up his fast speed
until the thirty-third mile, when he
was an even half mile ahead.
During the first hour Lawson covered
thirty-two miles and seven laps Law
son changed his pace on the fortieth
mile and began to Show the first signs
of fatigue.
The Swede began to call for some
thing to eat, and frequently lost his
pace. At fifty miles King began to re
cuperate and gained back two laps on
Lawson, the time for the distance being
1896
Lawson changed his pace again at
siXty-one miles and was riding in much
distress. King apparently the fresher
of the two. In the sixty fifth mile the
best fight of the race took place. King,
thinking the Swede about gone, at
tempted to gain back his lost distance
but in this he was disappointed. The
seventy-fifth mile was covered in
2;SO:25, with Lawson five laps in the
lead and King very mach distressed.
During the next ten miles Lawson
seemed TO hold his own, riding aesier

gained back four laps.
The last five miles Witnessed a hard
struggle. Both riders were exhausted.
with King trying to reduce the lead.
In the ninety-sixth and ninety-seyenth
miles he recovered two more laps. His
struggle to overtake Lawson did not
cease until the last mile, when appar-
entity he gave up, three laps to the bad.
The time Of the race was S:24:21 2-5.

There were several periods during the
match when he played far below his
usual form. but being a veteran of
many a golf battle, he recovered more
quickly that did his -ounger opponent.
The champions strongest point was his
long game. and it was through his
good strong drives that he was en-
abled to win. He outdistanced Egan
on every drive except in two or three
instances. Travis direction was also
above that of Egan. the latter several
times being handicapped in drive too

men, Taken as a whole, the work of
