Contention Over the Case of
Principal Swartzell.
OPPOSING FORC E S
CONSERVATIVE CITIZENS FAVOR
A WAITING POLICY.
NATTER to Be Considered in Executive
Session of East Washington
Association.

The division of sentiment concerning Mr..
F. +. Swartzeu. tie reirstated principal OF
the Eastern High School grows stronger
On the one hand. a greater force is engaged
in circulating a petition stating that par
ents and taxpayers are unaiterably OPP
posed to the present principal, and the
much-talked of petition from the boys of
the Eastern High School has been issued,
while on the other hand prominent cit
liens are counseling a waiting policy.
The committee appointed by the presi-
dent of the Business Mems Association to
Investigate school conditions in general met
Friday night, and Chairman Fred. G.. Col
dren reports matters to re proceeding sat
isfactoriy. The inquiry being still incom-
p!ete. no report of proceedings has been
given out 1t is understood however, that
parents and pupils are collecting cata ana
evidence and that much in the nature OF dd-
verse testimony has passed into the hands
OF the citizens investigating committee.
Misunderstanding Alleged.
Probably the greatest feeling has arisen
over the Misunderstanding of the nature
of the boycott said to be inaugurated
against the Capitol Hill High School The
petition which is gaining favor daily is
said to be signed 10y prominent lawyers,
doctors. ministers and business men of
the eastern section. These gentlemen, it
is said have no idea of boycotting the
school, Directing only to the principal
The petition previously referred to in The
Star reads:
We. the parents and taxpayers of East
Washington, feel we have right to a
high school where our children VIII re-
ceive proper treatment We are so I'M
aiterably opposed to the administration
of Mr.. Swartzell that unless he leaves
prefer not to send our children to the
Eastern High School
Many citizens however, are said TO be re-
fCsing 10 sign the protest on the ground
that the taxpayers of the section deserve
a high school, and as the school board has
officially Reimbursed Mr.. SwartZell a unani-
nous antagonistic action to him at the
present moment would mean the closing of
the institution.
II Is pointed out also that all technical
students can and do attend the Mckinley
school. and all business pupils will have To
attend the new Business High School, but
a square away from the manual training
school If a vigorous boycott is resorted
to il is feared that the branch academic
schools may be done away with, and all
students will be expected to attend an en-
larged Central.
The contentious of the various factions at
present preclude any settled and single
policy. Those engaged In the active cru
SADIE against Mr. Swartzell have made pub
lie the aforementioned round robin which

larly referred when he delivered his
address But there is no reason why
those of the gentler sex who write let-
ters according to the rules laid down
by the late Mr.. Murray should not feel
cheered by the encomium pronounced
upon the stenographer's work. The
young person with the pompadour is
ephemeral and there are really very
few of her. But the business woman
is here to stay, and any word which
exalts the occupation which seems to
be the general choice of her sex is
helpful to her. There is no reason,
moreover, why she should not accept
such word as a personal tribute, for

THE PROBLEM OF THE IDLE

In a few years, if the plans of the
practical sociologist are successfully
carried out, the gentleman of the cloven
hoof and caudal appendage will not
have to worry himself about providing
mischief for idle hands. Idleness as a
profession or a pursuit or even a tenn
porary condition is falling more and
more into disrepute. One of the more
advanced of the sociologists who has
been scanning the social horizon
anxiously has discovered an idle class
which she believes is bound to consti-
tute a serious menace if profitable en-
ployment is not Immediately found for
it's members. This class consists of
young women who have finished school
and whose parents are able to support
them in affiuence, and who are, there
fore, deprived of the privilege of join
ing the army of the employed.
For these the sociologist advocates
the establishment of normal courses in
suitable institutions for the purpose of
directing their now superfiuous ener-
gies into practical philanthropic chan
nels. She explains at length her plan
in Charities" an eastern sociological
paper, claiming for it that it need not
interfere with a young woman's social
career, as it would not consume more
than four or six hours a day, and that
it would possess the inestimable ad-
vantage Of fitting her for the RESPONSE
bility of married life. 1t sounds very
well and it is possible that in practice
it would prove even better.
But, nevertheless, there is something
to be said in favor of the idle, espe-
cially of the idle represented by this
class to which the sociologist has re-
ferred: 1t is doubtful indeed, whether
those young women who have finished
school and who have returned to their
homes to enter once more into the
family life there are the idle creatures
that the sociologist would have the
public believe. Too many of'these odds
and ends of the worlds tasks fail and
they perform them most satisfactorily
And those who lay stress on the i'm
portance of preserving the family life
will agree that the idle period" which
intervenes between the school COM
mencement exercises and the wedding
day can be spent by girl to better ad-
vantage in the home of her parents
than in the most satisfactory school
for matrimony."

THE JUDGE AND THE TYpIsT

To be invited to address the mem
bers of an organizs ton and then to
fail to present a few verbal bouquets
to those members is an offense of
which the popular speaker is seldom
guilty. 1t is just possible that Judge
c. Nicely of Chicago, who recently ad-
dressed the stenographers' club of that
city, sacrificed truth to the demands of
the occasion when he paid his glowing
tribute to the stenographers. but it is
more probable that he meant every
word he said. That variety which is
the spice of life would seem to be ut
terly lacking in an occupation that de-
mands of an individual who follows II
that he make himself as much like
machine as possible, but the frank con-
fession of Judge Nicely reveals the
stenographer in an enlarged sphere.
Mr.. Metcalfe, the dramatic critic
prosecuted by the theatrical trust, has
declared that one of the chief pur-
poses Of national theater will be the
preservation of the purity of the Eng
lish language. But according to the
Chicago judge. the young man or wom-
an who accepts dictation is doing quite
as much as the advocates of national
theater propose to do to keep the Eng
hsh language pure. They have edu-
Gated and are educating the business
man in the use of correct speech

And il is true that il was to male ste

patton of it. A small amount of money
expended in this way at this time may
prevent incalculable losses in money
and in life.
These are the good and sufficient rea-
sons why the bill in question should
pass. We cannot conceive how any OBJ
heartily urge all members of the legis-
lature, without regard to party or local
ity, to support a bill that means so
much to this city, that concerns the
people of Ramsey county exclusively,
and that has, as far as we can learn,
their unanimous approval.

A MUDDLED CRITIC

If one seeks the cause of school
methods imperfect or worse, he will
find it in the almost universal igno-
rance of what education should be.
Here, for instance, is a contemporary
honestly endeavoring to make right
eous war on what it calls "fads and
frills.'' and blundering about in most
ridiculous fashion when it descends 20
Educators who have let theory run
away with common sense have intro
duced many unnecessary, time con-
suming and impracticable subjects into
the common schools. These have been
generally described as "fads;" and peo-
pie with more zeal than Information
have seized upon that word as a war
cry, and rung all the changes upon it
without being in the least prepared to
tell us what it means.
The contemporary in question is in
discreet enough to make a partial
enumeration. Referring to what it con-
siders "fads" in the New York schools,
it mentions sewing and cooking, basket
weaving and carpentry, and nature
study. The muddiest educator in the
country would laugh at this combina-
tion. Nature study has it's place in any
rational system of education. The trou-
oh &c hot of fol
its rightfuI subordinate place, it has
been pushed to an extreme. In that
sense it has become a fad" Industrial
education, including manual training,
is not fad" or a ''frilI" 1t is one Of
the most valuable adjuncts of common
school instruction. Under this heading
fall sewing and cooking for girls, ana
what we suppose the writer in ques-
ton means by carpentry" for boys.
Basket weaving is a purely ornamental
affair, and can justly be classified as
fad"
Before we get common school edu-
cation worthy of the name we will have
to begin at the beginning. We need to
take up the whole curriculum of the
public schools and strike from it all
nOnessentials. But the school work
should be divided broadly into that
which disciplines and strengthens the
mind, and into the industrial education
that disciplines and strengthens eye.
ear and hand. Then a rigorous pruning
will select a small number of subjects
shown by experience best suited for
the growing mind. This is the only way
in which we shall ever get rid of ''fads''
without putting other "fads' in their
place. Before we arrive at this happy
consummation we must have a saner
and more intelligent idea of educational
subjects and methods among the peo-
pie, as well as among self-constituted
critics.
