ARITHMETIC IN THE

Considering the amount of time
given to the subject OF arithmetic in
our public schools. II must be admitted
that the results are lamentably poor.
It is fair to presume that the faulty
character OF the text books in general
use is accountable in part for these
results. With few exceptions, Ameri-
can text books In Arithmetic seem to
| leave the teacher out of the account.
Definitions, rules, explanations, illus
tratlve problems-in short. everything
which should be taught by the teacher
| Is placed before the pupil u be learn-
ed Another fault of textbooks In
common use is their insu ficiency of
problems for practice, ard teachers
are compelled to make up the def-
cheney by placing upon the blackboard
original problems or prcblems taken
from arithmetics other than the reeu
lar textbook. The objections 10 this
practice are: 1.-The danger for
want of time of giving the pupil IN
suitable or poorly arranged problems.
1.-The harm done to pupils eyes by
close and long-continued looking, fire.

NOT TO COME DOWN
Motor Company Springs a Surprise on
Those Who Secured the Order.
JUDGE GRANTS STAY OF EXECUTION
Captain Beck and others Now Threat
EN- TO Retaliate by Bringing Pro-
ceedinEs Under the
MuIct Law.

The fences that enclose the streets in
controversy at Lake Manawa will not come
down, at least for this season, despite
the ruling OF Judge Scott OF the superior
court. When the time came yesterday
morning for the court to hear the mo-
lions Of Crisman G. Richards, the plaintiffs
In the injunction proceedings, that the
Rupersedeas bond filed by the motor COM
pany be stricken out and that an order
Issue from the court for the abatement
OF the Instructions on the streets, Attor-
ney Wright, for the motor company, played
a trump card, which it developed he had
held up his sleeve for nearly a week past.
He presented to the court an order from
Judge Deemer Of the supreme court, stay
ing any further proceedings. pending the
determination Of the appeal from Judge
SCOTS ruling.
As the appeal, under ordinary circum-
stances, cannot be reached until next jan
uary, unless it should be advanced to the
October term of the supreme court, which
1t is admitted is unlikely, the motor COM
pany will thus be enabled to retain the
fences which il has erected across the
thoroughfares in controversy and the prop
erty owners at Manawa, who appear as
plaintiffs in the injunction proceedings,

year, at least.
1t developed that the stay Of proceed
ings had been granted by Judge Deemer
of the supreme court on Thursday, June
26.
Colonel Beck and others who were vi
tally interested in the execution Of Judge
Scott's order are much disappointed at
the turn the case has taken and yesterday
it was stated that they would seek other
means to enforce. what they claim as their
rights. This means that in the event OF
the motor company persisting in its re-
fusal to place an opening or gate in the
fence, which now shuts off Third street
from visitors to the lake resort, they will
attempt to enforce their demands by bring
ing proceedings under the mulct law
against the motor company to restrain the
sale OF liquor at the lake. 1t was said
yesterday that further developments of an
interesting character might be looked for
today.

SIGN TREATY WITH SPAIN
Secretary Hay Receives CabIegram
from stOrer Announcing
the Action.

WASHINGTON, July S.-secretary Hay
today received q cablegram from Minister
Bellamy Storer at Madrid announcing that
the Spanish minister OF foreign affairs and
himself today signed a treaty OF amity
between the United States and Spain. The
text Of the treaty will not be made public
now, but in general terms It Is one OF the
standard treaties OF amity, m and
navigation which have been used wit. lit
tie modification by the United States gov
eminent for the last fifteen years.
1t provides in brief that tho citizens OF
each country shall enjoy equal rights in
the matters Of residence, travel. protec-
tion of person and property and the ad-
ministration of justice and taxation. More
ever. they are exempted from compulsory
military service and forced loans
Reciprocal freedom ! Of and
navigation is provided for and the usual
most favored nation" clause treatment
respecting tariff duties Is included. This
probably will not result in the remission
OF the maximum rates OF tariff which
have been imposed by the Spanish govern
ment since the war on all imports from
the United States.
The United States can secure an abate-
ment of the present high rates only
through the conclusion of a SPECIFIC rect
proeity treaty on lines Of similar treaties
Spain has lately made with European
countries.
Other provisions of the treaty today
guard against discriminating port duties
and like charges on commerce. regulate
salvage and wreckags and provide for the
appointment OF consular officers.
