TO IMPROVE MANKIND
Ohioan's Theory For Training
the Young.

Ont of Her Injunction In school Days
"a PupiI, Now Aged, Evolved System
nv which He Believes Humanity
Can Be Taught Voluntary obedi-
ence-Cites Its Good Results.
When Miss Flora Atkins, teacher in
a small country school in the Wade dis
trict. near Ashtabula, O., told her pu-
oils in 1888 that she would rely on
them to keep order voluntarily she lit.
tie dreamed that the whole course Of
life of half of her pupils would be in
fuenced by her words, says a CIeVe-
land co. dispatch.
One of the pupils, Deacon Aaron
Pickett of AshtabuIa has followed the
course of each member of the class and
has put his findings into manuscript.
He has gone further and has evolved a
system of parental, school and state
government based on the result of Miss
Atkins experiment seyenty-tWo years
ago.
In the Wade district, so named from
the original home Of the family OF
United States Senator Benjamin f.
Wade stood a small log schoolhouse,
into which were crowded thirty pupils
ranging in age from six to twelve
years. Miss Atkins told them the very
first day that she would expect them to
keep order Of their own accord. She
laid down one rule. and only one, but
It was in scope so broad that it covered
all the many rules usually put in force
by teachers. That rule was:
do nothing that will distract the at
tention of another pupil from his
work"
Simple, wasn't it? Yet it covered the
offenses Of whispering, passing notes.
throwing paper balls, general restless
ness and all the deviltry that a school
boy can invent
All of the thirty were induced the
first day to promise to obey the rule.
At the end Of the second Gay one boy
had broken the rule. He never again
by good department got over on the
side of the good pupils. At the end
of the third day three had broken the
rule and in a week fifteen were mum
bered among the unruly. y week was
long enough to test the staying pow
ers of all in the cause Of good school
government. Those who stuck to the
rule for a week were obcdient for the
entire term The school was evenly
divided all the remainder Of the term
fifteen good to fifteen bad.
Those who followed tie customary
course of infant rebellion received the
usual modes of correction and plodded
along the usual way with their school
work. All of these pupils were in
Miss Atkins school for four years, long
enough to form habits. AS years rolled
along results were carefully watched
by Aaron Pickett, the boy who be-
came so intensely interested in Miss
Atkins plan of voluntary obedience.
The pupils left school. The young
man kept trace of them. Years rolled
by, and he became old, yet he still fol-
lowed his inquiries. At the end of
fifty years he compiled record Of the
class of thirty, and these were the re
suits: OF the obedient fifteen there
were alive thirteen OF the disobedient
fifteen there were only three surviving.
The thirteen obedient had splendid

Norfolk. Va, Nov. s.-Julius

authorities OF Savannah. Ca, on the
charge OF being fugitive from jus
tice, was, by Judge Simmons, com
mitted to Jail without bail, pending
further advices from Sheriff Schwartz,
OF Chatham county, Georgia, who
requested his arrest.

Rosenthal came TO Norfolk, accom-
panied by his wife and daughter.
Both of the women are handsome and
dress most stylishly They have
been living in one Of the most fash
ionable hotels In the ciyt. Rosen-
thai seems to be possessed of ample
means. Mrs. Rosenthal and her
daughter profess the utmost conf

have stated their intention Of stand
Ing by him in his present trouble.
Both of the women are still in the

About Judge Favrot.

Baton Rouge, La, Nov. e.
George K. Favrot, congressman elect
who shot and killed his lifelong
friend, DR.. H. H. Aldrich, still re-
fuses to clear the mystery of the trag-
edy, other than to repeat his state
ment made just after the shooting
that he acted for sufficient reasons s"
The sufficient reason" of Judge
Favrot Is generally understood to
mean remarks publicly made by DR..
Aldrich rejecting on a lady and that
lady was Mrs. Favrot, the wife of the
Judge. The exact nature of the re-
marks has not been discovered, but
they are said to have been gross
enough to provoke Jurge Favrot to
the deed
Although Judge Fayrot maintained
silence as to the cause of the trage-
dy, his friends issued statment
that he followed the unwritten law >
acting in the belief that he was aveng-
ing an affront to his family. Judge
Fayrot's friends also declared that
Dr.. Aldrich was forewarned and fore
armed.
The street near which the shooting
occurred was at the time filled with
leading officials of the city, accom-
panied in some cases by their wives
At one edge Of this animated scene
Judge Favrot was seen to enter an
office building, raise his arm and fire
rapidly three times. He came out
Immediately and surrendered himself.
Dr. Aldrlch, the victim of the
shooting, had just left his office in
this building. He was found lying

Fully as notable as this showing

the manner in which friends rallied
about Judge Favrot, former politi-
cal opponents, visiting him at the Jail
and 'WO lawyers, who have at times
| been his political opponents, volun-
| tered their services for his defense.
Thursdays only development was
the resignation of Judge Favrot from

A HUNDRED WELL ARMED MEN

When the Robbery Was CompIete
Two Wagons and Marched OFF Sing

Rogow, Russian Poland, Nov. g.
The Cossacks have this far been un

this section, threw three bombs at
the mail car Of train while the en-
gines were being changed, derailed
the car, robbed 1t and fed with sum
of money now said to amount to
$3.50 900
The station master declares the
revolutionists hid in the neighbor-
hood in the forests and were excel
lently disciplined, their commander
giving orders through bugle signals.
When the robbery was complete the
revolutionists transported their booty
to two wagons and marched off in
military order, singing socialistic
songs.
Eye witnesses confirm the state
ment that the revolutionists were hid
den in the neighboring woods. When
the train stopped men armed with
rifles sprang UP on both sides quick
ly executing the orders conveyed by
the bugle. The gendarmes stand
ing in front of the station were shot
and killed and the revolutionist then
placed sentinels at all Of the ap-
proaches and cut the telegraph wires.
While some of them overpowered
the trainmen, others attacked the es-
corts of the mail car. OF the three
bombs thrown, two exploded with ter
rifle force, blowing the car to pieces
and killing FIVE soldiers and mortal
ly Woundlng eleven others.
The revolutionists then ransacked
the car and transferred the bank
notes, gold and silver to their bags
and unfolding the red flag, formed
up in military order, marched out
of the station, entered wagons which
were waiting in the forest and then
drove Off
1t was not until three hours later
that detachment of Cossacks hur-
riedly sent for, appeared on the scene
and started in pursuit of the revolu-
tioniSts.
