children the Morgan School has only
two rooms, and in each of these, every
school day Of the year, fully 100 little
ones must go through their regular rou-
tine. Three hours schooling per day is
and the kindergarten, and the Morgan
lays, 100 children attending the sessions
in the mornings and another hundred in
the afternoons. In the short interval
at noon the rooms are hurredly cleaned
and still more hurriedly ventilated.
According to all recognized school
standards, the very young children should
attend sessions only in the mornings be-
cause 1t is in the early hours that the
little ones are at their best. and able
most thoroughly to devote sustained men
tai and physical effort to their tasks.
Yet at the Morgan School each day there
are 100 pupils who come to the sessions
tired and in anything but the receptive
mood which goes so largely toward spell
Ing success for primary instruction.
In one of the two first-grade rooms at
the Morgan School there are two classes
OF approx mately equal strength. and
composed of children of the average age
of seven years, one using the room in the
morning and the other in the afternoon
The second primary room Is divided be-
tween children of an average age of six
years and the kindergarten.
Division of Time.
Since the opening of the fall term the
kindergarten has had the room in the
mornings. while The slightly older children
attended sessions after the lunch hour.
This was considered unfair to a certain
extent, and beginning yesterday the kim
dergarten pupils were transferred to the
afternoons. During the balance of the
school year the pupils in this room will
alternate. month by month. in possession
of the favorite morning hours
That the parents of the kinderYarten
children do not take kindly to having their
little ones at school in the afternoons was
well illustrated at the Morgan building

DEFEAT HIS POLICIES
MOVE ON FOOT TO DOWN PRES
IDENT ROOSEVELT.
Ample Evidence Said to Be at Hand
An Immense Fund Said to Have
Been Raised to Garry on Campaign
in Opposition to Him-Might Run
for Presidency Again.

1t Is said on authority at the White
House that there is ample evidence at
hand for the claim that the president
holds that there is a movement afoot
to defeat his policies in the next con-
gress and in the next convention. 1t
is declared that the combine has al
ready a fund Of $5,000,000 with which
to carry on it's campaign in opposition
to the president.
With all the ardOr and determina-
ton of which he is capable President
Roosevelt is investigating the rich
mems conspiracy which he has public
ly declared is being formed to thwart
him in the perpetuation of certain re-
forms which he has begun.
Close personal friends intimate that
sufficient confederation of facts now
in his possession may mean that
Roosevelt will feel impelled to stand
as candidate for reelection.
They gleefully point out that the
president will soon stand as the soil
tary antl-third-termer in the so-called
Roosevelt organization" which they
say is made up of some political lead
ers and all of the common people"
Senator Hansbrough of North Da-
kota, who, in season and out, has been
openly declaring that the president
shall succeed himself, and Delegate
Andrews of New Mexico, who were
guests at the now noted Bourne din
ner, and Senator Bourne of Oregon
I, fho 1y
They were even more reticent wher
they left the inner sanctum thar
when they entered it. What they
knew about the dinner at which it i
charged the existence of the "ricl
mems conspiracy" was first mad'
known was for the presidents owl
ears.
Adherents of the president in com
menting recently upon affairs signif
oantly remarked that if no such dis
closures have been made and Senate
Penrose of Pennsylvania has had n
part therein, the men participating
most likely have been pleased to ente
a denial of the story.
1t is no disparagement of the pres
dents good intentions to state that h
does not resent with such warmth Q
yore the intimation that he again lea
his party in the next presidential col
test. This is obyious-that he ha
often emphasized his purpose not t
accept a denomination. He stands o
identically the same ground now. Blu
he is confronted with the fact tina
policies and not persons is the que'
tion to be solved.
An intimate friend of his, who doe
not care to be quoted, says that tn
president would like his party to 81
lect Secretary Taft as his successor
/ The same authority declares that tn
president has not gone as far in tn
Endorsement of Taft's candidacy as tn
latter's friends would have it appea

THE SHIPS THAT SINK.
Those Of Wood Are Absorbed in Waste

What becomes of the ships that

takes, in the first place, considerable
time for it to reach the bottom. In
hundred or more fathoms of water
a quarter of an hour will elapse before
the ship reaches bottom. It sinks
slowly, and when the bottom is
reached it falls gently into the soft.
oozy bed, with no crash or breaking.
OF course, If 1t is laden with pig
iron or corresponding substances, or
If it is an iron ship, 1t sinks RAPIDLY
and sometimes strikes the bottom with
such force as to smash in pieces.

Besides this, they cover every inch
