Now, Mr.. Bell" asked the lawyer, "if
the evidence in this case should happen to
be evenly divided would the fact that the
defendant is a corporation influence your
action as a JUROR
Il think it would" promptly responded
the Juror. "If the witnesses differed I
would give the benefit OF the doubt to the

against the defendant corporation"
Wouldn't you follow the instructions OF

Mt Session of the Assoc
citation.

At the meeting OF the Amateur Athletic
association OF Omaha last night the con-
struction OF the new club house and the ar
rangement OF the grounds In the southwest
ern part OF the city was discussed at length
and the question of finances was taken
under consideration. Additional men,
bers TO the number OF lis were pledged by
the members present, the names to be sub
mited on or before April Is. The board
OF directors was empowered, after that
date, to raise the initiation fee from SIS to
s25, in its discretion.
On motion OF Judge Baker the members
recommended TO the board the leasing OF an
additional parcel Of ground comprising
about forty acres for the purpose OF ex-
tending the golf links. The discussion
brought up the matter OF the general object
OF the club, the directors stating that every
form OF outdoor sport would receive con
sideration, and that among the things
planned were base ball club, which would
be given grounds, a bowling green and
bowling alleys, aud that by next winter a
rink for curling would be provided.
The election OF officers resulted in the re-
election OF all OF the first board OF directors

MORE PREPARATION NEEDED
ihis Patron suggests that Training In
Grade schools IN Not
Thorough.

OMAHA. March 6-To the Editor OF The
Bee. The question OF revising the course of
study in the Omaha schools is one OF vital
importance 10 the patrons OF the school The
fact that something Is wrong in our Omaha
schools has been evident TO the majority
Of the patrons for somc time. There seems
to be a vide gap between the grades and
the High school. The pupils from the
grades are not prepared TO enter the High
school and do creditable work. The trouble
Ia not so much in the course OF study as
in the fact that they are hot sufficiently
grounded in the elementary branches; nor
is It entirely practical or possible for the
average pupil TO thoroughly master these
primary branches at the age at which most
OF them enter the High school.
Much could be accomplished in the grades
b. cutting of some OF the frills and isms
with which many OF the teachers delight to
entertain their pupils. There should be
more thorough work in grammar, arithme-
tic. geography etc. What would you think
OF a pupil entering the High school who
could not handle common fractions, or did
not understand the elements Of English
grammar? Yet the pupils are supposed to
have completed these branches. In inter-
viewing one OF the High school teachers
We learned that out Of a class Of forty or
more pupils that had Just entered the High
school. three only understood the construc-
tion Of an English sentence. And these
pupils graduate from the grades Imagine
their fitness to begin the study OF Latin
and what a handicap 10 the High school
teachers.
II is often discussed why so many drop
out OF the High school IL It any wonder
that pupil gets discouraged and quits
when It dawns upon him that he had not
been properly prepared In the grades for
this work?
As before suggested It would be better to
require the pupils to spend one or two
more years in the grades with view TO
thoroughly grounding them In those
branches which they must master 20 sue.
cessfully pursue their studies in the High
school. and also that they may become more
matured? It would be suicidal to think
OF lowering the High school grade; a
thousand times better raise 1t.
