ONLY 3 PER CENT GO
THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL
The Pressing Need of Grade
Schools Laid Before Board
of Education.

There is quite general Tnisunder-
standing relative to the per cent OF
public school pupils who pass through
the eighth grade and the high schools,
said Supt A. T. Smith yesterday. "The
reports show that. 80 per cent of the
pupils who enter the first grade conn
plete the eighth grade; 25 per cent
enter the high schools: Is per cent
finish two years in the high schools,
and 8 per cent graduate from the high
schools. There are now, approximate
ly $500 first grade, pupils in the city,.
and from this class there will develop
304 who will go through the high
schools. It will therefore be seen
that the constant increase of high
school pupils makes the question one
requiring much consideration and
study. ~ -
"a number of communications have
been received in answer to the cues
tions submitted by the board, and the
board members desire general ex-
preston on the subject. OF course the
grade schools must be cared for. Dur
ing the past two years the inspectors
have caused to be, erected buildings

PYTHlAN ACTORS ARE
rendered A BANQUET
EII<s Confident Success of X. p. Show
Will Help Their Entertainment.

The male members of the local COM
pany which presented the "Rajah of
Bingapore" at the Metropolitan this
week were given banquet at the Iro-
quofs on Robert street, following the
last performance of the show We'd
nesday night. The play was given I'M
der the auspices of the local Knights
of Pythias lodge, and the lodge was
the host at the banquet.
Covers were laid for twenty and the
banquet lasted until the small hours
of the morning. The play was a ffnan-
cial success, and it was announced at
the banquet that it would be an annual
affair hereafter.
Judge John J. F'inehout, who was
one of the guests, in speaking for the
ST. Paul EIks, assured the Knights
that the talk of dissatisfaction among
the Elks because of the K. of p. show
was not well founded. He compliment
ed the Knights on the excellency of
their show, and assured them that the
Elks of st. Paul were much pleased
that it had been such a success. In
stead of hurting the annual Elk show,
he thought it would prove benefit.

The Republican caueuses for the
election of delegates to the Ramsey
county convention next Tuesday will
be held Monday evening, from to
o'clock. The caucuses will be lightly
attended, as there are no contests on
either in the county or district conven-
tons.
1t was reported in st. Paul last night
that a movement is on foot looking to
the appointment of John w. Arctander,
of Minneapolis, as a member of the
statute revision commission, to succeed
Hiram F. Stevens, deceased. A delega-
ton of Minneapolis lawyers was in the
city yesterday in the. interest of Arc
tander's candidacy. Judge Daniel Fish,
of Minneapolis, and T. J.. Knox, of
Jackson, are the other two members.
It is scarcely thought probable that the
vacancy on the commission will go to
a Minneapolis man. Gen. H. w. Childs
and Oscar Hallam, Of ST. Paul, have
been mentioned in connection with the
vacancy. -

CITY HALL LOAFERS
TAKE NO CHANCES
Sight of Anyone With Authority Puts
Them to Flight.

The members of the leisure class who
have been wont to infest the city hall
with their presence during the cold wealth
er and who were so completely put to
confusion by Custodian Cramsie and his
minions on Monday came back with the
bad weather yesterday. They were more
cautious in their methods. however, and
instead of loafing around the police court
they ensconced themselves in the hall of
the first floor.
The usual afternoon session of oaths
and eXpectoration had commenced when
Lieut. Horne, of the police department,
hove in sight and the assembly of the
ancient order of loafers fled in confusion.
The officer passed on his way unaware
of the discomfort he had caused the pa
irons of the radiators, and had no sooner
disappeared than they started to walk
in again in twos and thTees. Again the
meeting settled down to the comfort of
bad language and chewing tobacco when
the redoubtable Cramsie himself put in
an appearance. If the previous flight had
been sudden, this time it was reut. and
by the time Mr.. Cramsie reached the
scene of cigarette stubs and mud there
was not loafer left within block.

Opposition to the "Gay Coney ISL

late become more than ever active and

form in the organization of the st. An
tIony Park Citizens league. This body,
which embraces residents of ST. An

organization has been to fight against
the proposed amusement park in the
Midway district.

this week a committee was appointed
to fight against the amusement park

A fund has been raised by the league
to- oppose the project at every stage of
it's progress. The committee has or

within few days to formulate it's
plans of campaign.

The students had been warned that
all the air must be out Of the appara-

the boys at one of the desks did not
wait long enough and an explosion
was the result. Fortunately the bottle
in which the experiment was being
performed was strong, while the cork
was in loosely, for the cork, with three
feet of glass tubing attached, made a
quick trip to the ceiling and scattered
small pieces of glass over the entire
room, but no one was hurt. The ex-

OFFERS TOCLEAN OUT
ALL THE BLIND PIGS
Public Spirited Citizen Tenders His
Services to Judge Finehout.

Judge Finehout has lately been made
the recipient of many anonymous let
tiers, the writers of which seem to be
very solfcitous of his honor's welfare
1t is no unusual thing for some anony-
nous well-wisher to inform the judge
how his office should be run and to
offer the writer's services for a small
remuneration and the opportunity to
soak" some of "the riter's' enemies,
but the limit was reached yesterday
when gentleman, presumably of Teu-
tonic origin, offered to clean UP every
pig, blind or living one, within the city
limits. The anonymous one wished to
sacrifice himself ON the altar of public
morality and welfare. He begged the
Judge to have him appointed temporary
chief of police with a force of heroic
citizens at his back, who would scour
the town.
