BLOODSHED IN WARSAW.
Riots in the Jewish Quarter in Which
Eight Persons Are ~
Killed. r.. '@

Warsaw, May 26.-The Jewish dis
orders here Wednesday night arose from
an attempt of the Jewish socialist organ
ization called the Bund to purge the He
brew district of Warsaw of all d1srepu-
table persons. The Bundites, with the
view of expelling their undesirable CO.
religionists, commenced to wreck dis
orderly houses, cafes and other resorts.
Eight persons have been killed and 100
wounded, 10 seriously. The damage to
property has been considerable. There
has been no pillaging, but the destruc-
tion of the furniture in the various
houses has been absolute. The mob.
armed with axes, smashed the doors and
windows and brought the furniture out
on the streets, where they broke it into
small pieces. The owners of the furni-
ture in attempting to defend their be-
longings were attacked, beaten and even
killed.

istered - Institute Has Been a
Success-Day's Lectures.

This afternoon the closing EXERCISES

has become exceptionally popular in
this locality. Nearly 275steachers reg
stered during the institute, which
opened Monday.
In his address this morning Prof.
Roadway spoke on The Necessity of
Teaching Geography in the Eighth
Grade" He is opposed to the plan in
operation in many states, in substitut-
ing United States history in the eighth
grade for geography. He says this is
all wrong, as the child cannot under
stand the history without a knowledge
of the geographical conditions of the
country studied.
Talks of Reading.
Prof. O'Shea compared the analytic
and the word or sentence methods of
teaching reading in the primary grades.
He favors the sentence method, on
the grounds that the child perceives
wholes first, and details later. Yes
terday afternoon Prof. O'Shea spoke
on Popular SuperstitiOns." These he
attributed 10 the legends and folklore
of our ancestors. He holds that il is
the duty of the elementary school to
free the child of imaginary terrors, and
teach him To look for natural cause
for any phenomenon. Prof Redway's
topic yesterday was the correlation of
history and geography in schools. lead
ing to his discussion this morning He
gave graphic outline of United States
history. showing that each great move
ment in development had a geograph-
ical cause, and that this was the real
element that determined the outcome
of the situation.
