PROF. lie R0UX IS WRATHY
Accuses A. B. Mallett of St. Paul of
Inconsistency-New Row
Over Fencing Bout.

To the Sporting Editor of The Journal
Does Mr.. A. B. Mallett of St. Paul, the
self called true and fearless champion"
who by the way, exaots 'over five
months Of training before meeting his
foe-know exactly what he wants? Last
Tuesday evening in my academy, Mr..
Mallett objected to the use Of sharp point
foils for our contest and it was then
agreed, in the presence of a third person
that we should meet with buttoned foils,
five minutes each, rules for professionals
Captain Eeintz or Colonel Yates of Chi
cago or Rondelle Of Boston.
The next day in T h J o u n Mr..
Mallett came out saying that he was will
ing to use sharp point foils. Can this
gentleman decide once for all what he
wants? 1t is true that 1 wrote to Mr.
Mallett as an answer to "his'' challenge
in 1896, that I considered fencing with
sharp points as brutal not to say dis
gushing" and this is still my opinion. But
knowing that Mr. Mallett is more anxious
to "let matters rest as they still are-un-
settled" than to fight, when I was ap-
preached regarding the pointed foils,
simply replied that ANY old thing would
do for me- not wishing to give Mr.. NAL
lett any chance for his coveted loophole
What I want is to meet Mr.. Mallett in 9
fencing contest with any kind of foils he
may choose, pointed, buttoned or ever

HIGH SCHOOL REFORM.
Council Bluffs High School Will Put
In Two-Year Commercial Course
for Students Who Can't Complete the
Regular Course-Radicai Reform.

Special 10 Times Republican.
Connect Blgtrs. Aug 2S Steps We're
recently taken by the school board
toward the establishment of a two-y Year
commercial course in the high school
for the special benefit of students who
are unable to take a complete four-year
course. The matter was brought up by
Member German and discussed at some
length. Among the advantages Which
il WAS stated would accrue from such II
course WAS that many students who DO
not go TO the high school al au. realiz-
ing that they can not remain the four
years, would take advantage of the two
years course. This would also offer
students an opportunity TO accomplish
a certain specified amount of work,
whereby if they drop out in the middle
of one of the fcuryear courses they
have completed but a few studies
Among the studies which Member Cor
man suggested should be included in
such a course We're commercial geogra-
ply. bookkeeping. shorthand and type-
writing, physiology ENGLISH eomposi-
ton and commercial arithmetic The
matter Was referred to the committee
on course OF study and superintendent
Clifford. Who We're Instructed to pre-
next meeting of the board This is in
line with a similar course recently
adopted by the Omaha school board.
