VACATION ENDS
THIS WEEK
GIenwOOd Schools will Reopen on
Monday With Full Corps of
SplendidIy Equipped
Instructors
A WORD FROM SUPERINTENDENT

The public schools of this city will
open Monday morning for enrolment
and the commencement of the nine
months work to follow So far as
present conditions indicate, the new
school year is opening under propi-
tious circumstances, A full corps of
teachers is employed and all are en-
thuslastic with the prospects of
pleasant and successful year. few
of the corps of teachers are already
with us and the remainder are expect
ed to arrive either today or tomorrow.
The names of teachers and their
departments are as follows:
Charles II. King, superintendent.
Joseph Reed, principal of high
school.
Miss Caroline Moss, first assistant
in the high school.
Miss Minnie NJ. Conway, second
assistant in high school and director
of music in the grades.
Miss Sue Clafiin, eighth grade.
Miss Georgia Ragland, seventh
grade
Miss Belle Johnston sixth grade.
Miss Florence E Dugan, fifth grade.
Mrs. Elizabeth NJ. Tully, fourth
grade.
Miss Abbie Robinson. third grade.
Miss Mary E. Stanley, second grade.
Miss Clara c. Oberdorfer, first
primary.
Miss Conway and Miss Clatlin reside
in Boulder, and, with Miss Dugan,
claim the State university as their
alma mater. Miss Johnston is from
Ohio and of an institution of that
state, while Miss Stanley is gradu-
ate of the state normal school at
Warrensburg, Missouri. Miss Rag
land is also from Missouri, being a
graduate of the state normal and has
taught number of years in Kansas
City.
At the opening of school last Sep
tember, 4 number of children not vet
of school age We're enrolled in the first
primary department, due, perhaps, to
the over anxiousness of their parents
also to oversight on the part of the
school management. Our state law
bearing on this matter reads as follows:
Every public school, except high
schools, shall be open for admission of
all children between the ages of six
and twenty one years residing in that
school district. Sec. II, Art. IA.
Upon the opening of school Monday
morning, new pupils entering the first
grade will be provided with blank
slips. These must be signed by
parents and returned the following
day. This will simplify the question
of eligibility to entrance, as it
frequently happens that some children
do not know their exact ages None
who are not now six years of age will
be enrolled this term. An opportunity
to enroll again this school year will
be open to those eligible at the begin
ming of the second term which is the
commencement of the last half of the
year.
1t is a well known fact that chill
dren entering at the ages of seven and
eight do noticeably better than those
entering with age sufficient barely to
comply with the state laws,
Parents and others are cordially in
vited to visit our schools. 1t is the
aim of those in charge to make the
schools of Glenwood the very best,
and to this end, we invite your hearty
co operation.

superintendent

BRYAN SAYS RADICALS
HELP THE DEMOCRATS

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. 23.-Wil-
liam J. Bryan was the guest of honor
at a banquet given tonight in Warner
hall. He indicated the reason why the
Democratic party was so over
whelmingly defeated in the last cam
paign and stated what seemed to him
signs of promise for Democratic vic
tory in the next presidential campaign.
Taking away the personal popular
ity of Mr.. Roosevelt in the campaign"
said he, there would be much left in
the results to encourage the Demo-
Gratis. For quarter of a century the
government has been drifting farther
and farther from the people, and boss
rule and corruption has been increas-
ing. But it was a good sign that the
Independent voter asserted himself in
the last election. And / have been sur
prised at evidences of help the radical
element is getting since that election.
We have found persons whom we did
suspect of such tendency helping
along good Democratic ways.
"Some one here tonight asked me
how Tolstoy could live in Russia and
preach his doctrine of reform. Per-
haps it is because he could go nowhere
else to study tyranny and despotism.
Wrong, as it develops, brings it's own
remedy, and in this country, I think,
in the next four years will come the
man to bring back power to the peo-
pie. I want the Democratic party to
forget itself and to help the president
carry out whatever is good. If we help
him and he does not succeed he will,
nevertheless, help us educate the peo-
pie as we could not alone. And we can
make stronger fight four years
hence"

OF the Democratic state ticket, and his
ofhclal record in the bank examiners S
once was such that he was informally
1ndorsed by the State Bankers asso
ciation
Leading Germans of st. Paul and the
state at large and the German press Of
the state urged on Gov. Johnson the
wisdom of appointing Mr.. Kerst, and
1t was pointed out that the German
Democrats had not been recognized in
the appointment of one of their number
to the head of state department.
Mr.. kerst has been extremely popu-
lar with his Republican associates in
the capitol, and he was congratulated
on every hand yesterday on learning Of
his appointment to the head of the de-
partment.
Frank N. Stacy, Mr.. Kerst's strongest
competitor for the berth, is well
known citizen of Minneapolis. He is
a graduate of the state university, has
done newspaper work as editorial
writer on various newspapers He. has
had considerable experience in the mat
ter of municipal accounts. Mr.. Stacy
had very strong Endorsements from
business and professional men of Min
neapolis.
w. c.. Koerner, of Minneapolis, was
also a candidate for the bank exam
iner's place. 1t is said that both ap-
pointments will become effective about
Feb. 1, and possibly before that time.
Public Examiner Johnson has become
interested in q Minneapolis bank. and

FORCED HER TO LIVE
IN A DESERTED BARN

in Her Suit for Divorce

That she has suffered brutal and un-
feeling treatment ever since her mar
riage to Frank B. Smith; that two
weeks of her married life has been
spent in a deserted barn; that she has
for long periods been far from fires,
food and sufficient clothing; that even
while sick she has not had medical at
tendance, nourishment or the money to
purchase the same, and that her gold
watch was exchanged for drinks, is part
of a list of reasons set out by Josephine
C. Smith to convince the court that
she should no longer be compelled to
live with her husband.
The couple were married in 1900 and
the wife has petitioned the court to al
low her to resume her maiden name of
BergholtZ, and to rid her of the man,
who, she declares in her complaint, has
made her life a burden.

on Payne avenue was discussed last
evening at meeting of the First
Ward Improvement association in the

REPENTANT PRISONER 2
GETS LIGHT SENTENCE
Sturtz Promises Good Behavior and
Receives Reformatory Sentence

With many protestations Of repen-.
tance and eager assurances Of reform
Frank ]. Sturtz promised Judge Kelly,
before whom he appeared for trial for
being implicatedA in the recent holdup
of a citizen named Hyde on Second
street, that in future he would eschew
evil companions, would shun the cup
that cheers and would live a sober,
righteous and upright life, and further
that he would weekly report progress
to the probation officer.
Sturtz, with two companions. had
fallen in with Hyde in Wabasha
street saloon, had enveigled him in
the direction of the river and had sud-
denly fallen on their unsuspecting VIC
tim and presenting him with a varied
assortment of blows, had relieved him
of his watch and fed.
Judge Kelly announced his belief
that Sturtz has been more spectator
than a participant in the fracas and
robbery and therefore gave him a
chance to reform. The prisoner was
given a reformatory sentence which
was modified by placing him in the
hands of the probation officer on good
behavior.
