PRACTICAL In EDUCATION
NEW SUPERVISOR OF GRAMMAR
GRADES MAKES AN APPEAL FOR
IT TO TEACHERS.

S. L. Heeter, the new supervisor Of
and grammar grades in the
public schools, has ideas on the educa-
ton of pupils. He says a slavish ad-
herence to textbooks is not beneficial;
drill work, while very necessary, should
be practical, especially in arithmetic.
In recent talk to the eighth grade
teachers, Mr.. Heeter reminded them
that many pupils would go out into the
business world and that teachers should
relate the school work as much as pos
sible to the commercial and industrial
activities of the outside world. He said
further:
There is too much time wasted today
on the properties of numbers, the great
est common divisor, fractions with large
denomina tors-always avoided in bust
ness decimals beyond the third place
troy and apothecaries weight, compound
numbers beyond simple forms, compound
proportion, cube root, etc.
Tradition and conservatism have helt
on to some Of these useless subjects, JUS
for mental discipline" but it is becom
| ing more and more recognized that JUS
as much disciplinary training can be Sc
cured from subjects that touch practica
| life.

UNIONS MEASURE
POLITICAL TIMBER
SECRET CLUB OF LABOR MEN
SIZES. UP CANDIDATES.
When Work Is Done the Club Will Make
S a Report and Copies Will Be Sent to
All Unions Workingmen Expected
to Act on Recommendations.

A secret club, made up of men from
every labor union in the city, is look
ing into the merits of men who come
up as candidates at the primary cleo
tion this fall. Each candidate is being
sized-up carefully and his desirability
from the standpoint Of organized labor
is being weighed. @
This admission is made by Phil Car
lin, secretary of the Minneapolis BuiIa
ing Trades Council
The political investigation being
made by union labor is being pushed
entirely Independently Of like inv estiga-
tions by other organizations.
"We don't like this report Of the
Voters League said Mr.. Carlin. It
is too much in the interests Of a certain
clique of candidates. And the report
didn t roast the right fellows, either.
Most of the candidates in the field
we consider undesirable. For this rea
son our investigating club may be called
an organization Of Knockers, instead
of boosters. We are simply after jus
tice, not charity. We know our friends
as well as our enemies, and our friends
are going to have our help
When the club gets thru it's work, :
| report will be made to every union an(
the voters. comprising the various I'm
| ions, will be expected to act in accord
| ance with the report.

BOHEMIANS ALL RIGHT
Miners Burlesquers Make Good at the
Dewey.

Tom Miners Bohemian Burlesquers
are holding the boards at the Dewey
this week and pleasing large audiences.
There is snap and go to the enter
tainment that cannot help but please.
Miner has, with an experimental hand,
cut out all of the dead time devoted
to more or less refined vaudeville, and
has in it's place substituted a straight
three-act musical extravaganza, A
Day at the Races
Winnie Henshaw-a bout the best OF
the good though girls" on the bur
lesque circuit-makes distinct hit as
Roxie, and Andy Gardener, as the aver
age office boy and then some, shares the
honors with her. Winnie is g tiredly
tough,' to coin a phrase to fit the stu
alton. She never oversteps the work
so far as to kill the sincerity of her
stage badness. Angela Angelcake, a
self-sacrifcial delineation, is we'll done
by Ida Nicolai.
Charles E. Foreman is ballad singer
of ability, and Frank Wakefield, the
pookie,' has the vernacular Of the
paddock at his command. These stars
are supported by well-drilled chorus
The girls are fully up TO expectations
some Of them even prettier-and excep
tionally well drilled. The Bohemian
Burlesquers are really worth the while

PARKWAY NEARLY READY
ONLY ONE BRIDGE NECESSARY
TO COMPLETE WEST BANK
DRIVEWAY ALONG RIVER.

Superintendent w. M. Berry of the
Minneapolis parks reported to the park
board last evening that driveway had
been opened along the west river bank
from Franklin avenue to Minnehaha.
The road, he said, had been graveled,
the necessary culverts built, and all
that remained to be done was to finish
a bridge, which would be done in a few
days This driveway will be one OF
the most picturesque in the country.
A communication from G: H. Christian,
calling attention to the employment OF
a park board employee by the Twin City
Telephone company, was referred to the
committee on improvements: The park
man, Peter Lee, was secured by the tel,
epnone company to trim trees damaged
by the big storm. He cut some of MI.
Christian trees too close to please
Mr.. Christian and was arrested.
Residents in the Lake of the, Isle
district protested against the existence
of the lowlands, or marsh, at the lake,
which is not only unsightly but q breed
ingplace for mosquitoes. Attempts have
been made to fill the place.

TRY TO EJECT THE G. N
EAST SIDERS WILL APPEAL TO
COURTS TO GET sIDETRACK OFF
THEIR LOTS.

Victims Of the Great Northern s sud
den enterprise in building a sidetr r;e :;
thru the backwards Of several East Side
citizens Sunday will seek to eject the
action by Charles A. Daily. Mean
while the track is being leveled up and
preparations are being made to put in
sidetracks between the. new track and
the company's main line. The fore
man has orders to rush the work.
Mr.. Daily said Of the action of the
railway:
In country that is blessed with civil
ization and law it would seem impossi-
BILE that anyone could sensibly adopt
such forcible measures as the railroad
has done It happens frequently, how
ever, that such tactics are successful
Expensive legal proceedings may be nee
essary in order to procure for the prop
erty owners in question the redress
which plainly is due them. 1t IS not Sc
much the value Of the property as the
remarkably highhanded action of the
railroad that enrages the property own
ers and anyone who has respect for
property rights.

Why Weather Bureau Doesn' It Keep Elk
act Frost Records.

"Frost statistics, unless compiled by
an experienced observer, are likely to
be unreliable,' said T. S. Outram, chief
of the local weather bureau today.
1.-The trouble is that the conditions for
light frosts are purely local. The act
ual temperature may be as high as As
degrees, but there may be frost.
Therefore the frost records show merely
the first killing FROST -
Mr.. Outram then explained that for
any frost it was necessary for the tenn
perature to fall to 80 degrees, but that
this might easily occur near the sur
face of the earth, where there was grass
or hay apd where the radiation was
consequently very rapid. In such cases,
if the sky was clear and the wind quiet,
the heat might be given off so rapidly
vicinity of the grass would fall fifteen
degrees.

Attorney General Thinks Emmett Case
Doesn't Warrant Commission.

Attorney General Donahower has
given an opinion on the charges pre-
ferred against John Ne Emmel, register
Of deeds of Stearns county, by John A.
Zapp, his rival for the nomination. Mr..
Donahower holds that the charges were
not sufficiently specific to call for the
appointment Of commission to investi-
gate. Under the statute competent
evidence must be presented, and the
charges made by Zapp are too vague
and uncertain to Justify action. Act
ing on this opinion the governor has de-
clined to proceed in the case. The
matters complained Of will be looked
into later by the public examiners de-
