COMPROMISE OFFERED.

A compromise was offered April
% of 10 per cent for the freight
trainmen and conductors and 7 per
cent for the passenger employees.
This was refused and an offer made
by the road of N for freight and
81 for passenger employees.
Officials of the Mobile and Ohio
claim that the men are getting bet
ter pay than the employees OF any
other competitive lines. 1t is fur
Their claimed that due .notice was
not given of the proposed strike.
Leaders of the order claim that
Mr.. Clarke desired to hold further
conferences with them at Mobile,
but that they had been advised by
their attorneys that st. Louis was
the general offices of the road and
this was the place where further
negotiations should be held
Messrs. Lee and Wilkins stated
that 1t was a matter purely between
the Mobile and Ohio trainmen and
conductors and the company, and
so far as they knew no other road
would be involved.
"It is simply a question:" said
Mr.. Lee, whether the Mobile and
Ohio can operate it's trains without
us or not. If they can run the
trains without the men who have
struck, we are beat; if they cannot,
they are beat.
awe will proceed entirely on
peaceful lines. Instructions have
been sent along the line that any
man willing to work for the road
shall not be molested and every
thing must be orderly

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES
Things of Interest to the Pnblic in the Public
Schools Normal Students Uisit.

The Washington School journal for
last month had this to say about the
cause of failure:
"Probaly nine out of ten men past
middle life if asked how it happens
that they are today only barely earning
this living, would tel you that they
never had a chance, that they were
kept back. that circumstances were
against them, that they had no oppor-
tunites, such as other boys around
them had, that they did not have the
proper schooling, or else plead some
similar excuse" These excuses may
be given honestly by some persons
who have now passed middle life but
certainly no boy or girl of today. with
the educational provisions made for
them especially in cities, can make
such excuses when they reach middle
life. Opportunities are numerous but
they are like delicate instruments, use
flu only in the hands of those who have
made special preparation for the use of
them. Opportunities should be sought
not waited for"
Spring fever has made its appear
ance in the schools, no serious results
except a few cases of truancy and some
low grades in class work.
Room 10 is now in charge Of Mr..

We hope that Miss Charleton of the
Primary grade, who on account of a
serious illness is now in the hospital,
may soon be able to take up her work
again.
Miss Lydia Charlton is teaching in

A. G.. Steinman, one of the directors,

directors of the schools.
The moving of Mr.. Clemens to North

The opposition Of the pupils of room
3 to having their pictures taken was
so strong that when the attempt was
made they broke the camera, not pur-
posely, but because they couldn't help
it.
Several of the normal girls visited
the High School one day this week,
