THE BUSINESS MAN
AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS
A Mastery Thesis on Live Subject--P rinci-
pal Of Fitzgerald High School Throws
Light on Contested Question.

NV. P. COLLIER, Principal of High SCHOOL,
There is always gap,between
the way a business man does his
business, and the way he would
have others do his work for him.
An emp1oye does not see the ne
cessity for the painstaking and
diligence of the employer, and
when the clerk or petty, book
keeper is released at S o'clock,
he thinks no more of his work
until a. m. of the following day.
Some such condition of things
leads the business man to lay the
charge of lack of insight or sym
pathy with his work, upon the
public schools.
This thesis then will try to
show that the business man is
unjust in his demands to some
extent, and that the schools are
behind the times to some extent.
The world in which the busi-
ness man lives is totally removed
from that of his boyhood. In the
multiplication of drains upon his
energy and memory he has for
gotten his youth. In vague
way he knows that the ginger
cookies he used to steal from the
pantry had a sweeter taste than
those on his bill of fare of today.
He also knows that a sternness
and strenousness has compass
ed him about, and that they press
upon his inner consciousness,
and modify his outward demean-
or, and exclude the fresh, young
joys of his boyhood. The bust
ness man is not a genetic psych-
ologist. He does not know what
Himalayas of human effort he
had to pass through before he
realized the meaning of an equa-
ton, or how long it was before
he really saw the emotions and
passions of men as diplayed in
history.
Again, he has no conception OF
the deal Of patience on his own
part, and the infinite quantity OF
of that valuable quality that suf-
feed his teachers needs before
he could learn to transpose in
algebra, and change the signs.
What then do algebra, arith'
metic and history teach childrent
Mr.. Reader, you can't say the
time was wasted you spent on
history, algebra and arithmetic
for, although you have for
gotten your x, Y, 2, and your
equation of payments, and your
French Revolution, yet you learn
ed that if you wanted to learn
anything. you need the bright,
sharp, keen weapons of care,
painstaking and diligence. These
qualities have TO be developed
and such qualities are necessary
to the success of a High Schoo
graduate.
So far the business man ant
the writer have no quarrel t.
patch up. But when the bust
ness man expects the Higl
School to turn out perfect book
keepers, consum mate stenogra
piers and neat type-writers 9Th
latter being useless without on
of the former), he is asking tn
public school to do something i
cannot do. Without the broad
ness and bulldog tenacity tina
comes from handling lower con
ceptions than those of debit an
credit; without the qualities Q
painstaking, carefulness an
a. clean.cut oLservational powers

to leave Tuesday morning and IL Is I'M
derstood that they will be foreibly de-
ported.

wholesale deportations within the next
few days. The report is to the effect
that about I25 more agltators are
marked for deportation.
Congressman n. NJ Hogg Is attor.
ney for the men. and has advised them
not to leave voluntarily. but remain
until they are forcibly deported. A
telegram was sent to Governor Pea
body to-day urging that the order OF
deportation be rescinded. A telegram
was also sent TO President Roosevelt,
but late tonight no reply had been re
ceived. The message to Washington
was as follows:
Have been ordered TO leave oui
homes by June 7tb. but do not intend
to do so. We, as citizens of the Unit
ed States, demand your protection un.
der our constitutional rights. The civil
courts would protect us, but they are
powerless. The governor will not pro
tect us. 20. A. FLOATEN.

The four men ordered to leave as
well as the entire union element. are
anxiously awaiting word from Wash
ington. The impression prevails. how
ever, that the men will be forced to
leave tomorrow.
Early this morning handbills were
spread broadcast over the city charg-
ing the Citizens Alliance with the
murder OF Jim Clark. former marshal
OF Telluride. and Mexican Sam" Both
men had made strong anarchistic ut
terances and the mystery surrounding
the death of each was never cleared

DEADLY DYNAMITE EXPLOSION AND
RIOTS IN CRIPPLE CREEK DISTRICT

criminal charges, seated in the back
end Of a buggy. which was being driven
by woman and heading down toward
Colorado Springs at great speed
Specific charge against any one man
or set of men for committing the crime
has not been made. Detective Rob
Sterling. an empioye of the Mine
Owners Association, says that he has
positive information who II was pulled
the wire.
News of the enormity OF the crime
was telephoned TO President A. Z. Carl
ton OF the Findley mine by his super
intendent, James S. Murphy. soon after
the explosion.
At 3: so o'clock a special train on the
Midland Terminal was made up in
Cripple Greek with all available physi-
clans, by Mr. Carlton. Mr. Murphy and
E. c. Neweombe. and fastened to the
scene OF the disaster There the view
Of the wreck which met them in the
early light was one which beggars de-
scription.
The body of one man had been blown
seventy-hye yards away. two feet OF
others were found on the Delmonico
dump 400 feet away.
The hillside was covered with por-
tions of flesh and the nearby buildings
spotted with blood.
The injured were placed upon the
train and FASTENED TO the hospital in
Victor A return trip was made for the
bodies OF the dead and everything pos
sible done toward gathering up the re
mains.
There had been many miraculous es-
capes from the effects Of the explosion.
Fully two-thirds of the men waiting
on the platform were able after few
minutes to render assistance TO the in
jured.
officers from Cripple Greek came
upon the scene soon after the removal
of the bodies Under Sheriff J. Knox
Burton reached the scene of the crime.
and after tracing the wire by which 1t
had been committed to the point where
the perpetrator sat, he called two IN
ion miners from the crowd, deputized
them and with them in charge of the

new sheriff had been appointed, the

Troops Ready to Act.

Denver. June Acting Governor
Haggott is prepared to throw all Of the
available troops of the National guard
into Victor should a call for assistance
come from that city.
From the time the news OF the fer.
rible catastrophe at Independence
reached the capitol yesterday all ON
cialdom was on the Qui vive for fur
ther trouble, and conferences between
the acting governor and Adjt. Gen. Bell
were of almost half hourly occurrence.
Plans for handling the state militia in
all possible situations were discussed,
as everyone in the state house was Of
the opinion that a demand for troops
would follow quickly upon the heels of
the first bad news.
By the time word arrived that bull
lets had begun to fly, General Bell was
prepared to move the militia within an
hours time. But there came no call
for troops, nor had there been such
call up to late hour last night

Denver, June 7.-The Republican
lowing account OF the terrible dyna-
mite explosion at the independence
depot yesterday morning:
The most dastardly crime ever com
the lives OF thirteen miners en-
ployed at the Findley mine, crippled
many others for life and has precipi-
tated a condition of rio: In the Cripple
Greek district which has cost at least
one other life and before peace is
again restored may cost many more.
Al ? 35 o'clock a m. at the change
OF shifts at the Ffndley mine. between
fifty and sixty OF the miners working
on the property passed down the hill
few hundred feet to the 1ndepend-
ence depot OF the Florence & Cripple
Creek railway. there to board the com
ing suburban train for their several
homes in Victor and Grippe Greek
They had completed their nights
work. the train had whisied for the
station and was slowing up for the
platform to take these men aboard.
= Suddenly a terrific explosion occur

miners high into the air. mangled the
bodies OF ten of them almost beyond

that they died soon after their arrival
at the hospital. and manning five for
life.

A small feed wire had been run
from the end of the depot TO the crib

A jerk of the wire had worked some

explod ed between fifty and hundred
pounds OF dynamite judging from its
effect which had been surreptitiously
placed beneath the platform in prep
aration for the commission OF the
crime
A number Of buildings surrounding
the Independence station and which
were damaged more or less by the ex-
plosion had been occupied as homes
by union miners now on strike in the
district
Warning had been given these, and
none within the reach of the explosion
were at home when il occurred.
Fortunately the hoisting at the
Shurtloff mine near by had been de-
Iayed. and the forty or more miners
employed on that property had not
been released to take the train, as was
their custom.
But for this. and with a little more
careful planning of this plot by the as
sassins. 100 men might have met death
in the explosion.
That II was deliberate. cold-blooded
murder. and that ii was perpetrated by
union miners Is not denied and is be-
lieved by practically every person IN

citizens and non-union miners alike,
