orros,rsoN ro HOWE STUDY.

An interesting development in "a much
mooted question hns recently appeared
IN Kings County, New York. The
December Grand Jur! of that COUNTY,
after the examination ~ several mem
bera OF the Board Of Education and the
principals Of the Brooklyn High Schools,
handed in IA ~presentmeni to the County
Judge condemninR certain school
methods.
The p~resenlment. de minds that home
study by the pupils Uease md that in
stead the daily liours at school be IN.
creased by n hour eaub lay and that
the curriculum be changed 40 thai II large
part Of this additional hour be devoted
to supervised study.
. The Grand Jury Iinds tlIat the Cur
ricuim for Is year.oId pupils is much
harder than it was II few years ago und
that students are being forced far be.
yond their capacity to assimilnte knowl.
edge. Such n system, it declares, can
result only in weakened memories and
physical disability.
There il much Tint cGn be enid in
support Of the position taken by the
Kings County Grand Jury. Primarily
tho school is the place for study as well
rs for instruction. II is just as essen.
tinl that the youth Of the country DO
taught how TO study ms it is that they
oe given dirict instruction in my Of
tho various branches OF their curriculum.
Incorrect habits ~ study are ns detri-

proper literature is detrimental IN the
moral growth Of the reader. II is neces-
sary, the ~refore. that school study should
be properly supervised to The end that
tho mental exercise be productive Of the
most benefit.
Further argument against the home
study idea ia found In the iact that the
growing intellects Of tue children
should not be overtaxed but should 10
given ample time for relaxation and
recreation. This cannot ne done IL the
child is hurried home from school and

TO PROMOTE WOMEN's
LABEL LEAGUE WORK
Movement on Foot to Organize
Women Of Duluth in Work
for the Label.
Society Has Done Much Good in
Promoting Sale Of Union
made Goods.

! A movement is on foot in this city
to take. up the promotion OF the aWo-
mems Union Label league, with the
several labor organizations of Duluth.
The Labor World believes that 1t is In
the interest of every union to aid in
the organization of league.
Down in Minneapolis the women
have organized very good league. It
is proving to be great factor in union
labor's success. In letter from the
local organizer at Minneapolis We
were impressed with the following
which is an extract:
"The women OF the league have
taken up the work Of fighting one OF
the most important battles before or
ganized labor. They are giving their
time and energy to help the cause OF
unionisn. It is the duty of every
union man to aid In tnelr work all
he can and to give them both finan-
cial and moral support. It will be-
futile for the women to get out and
do good work, unless the mon recog-i
nize their efforts and assist Ia the
movement. both in the purchase of
union made goods and In the work of
increasing the membership and finan.z
cial strength Of the league. We must
boost the label as well as the work
Ing card. It means much for organ

The Workingman Will Be Obliged

to Help Rockefeller Pay the
$4,000, 900 Fine.
Only Way Middle Glass and Lab
oring Glass Can Get Justice Is
to Have Laws Passed Which
Will Put Officials in Jail.
They Would Not Like to Pay the
Penalties Behind the Bars, But
That Would Cure Them
Haywood Talks on Trial.

DENVER, COL, Aug. S.-"The work.
ingman will pay the $29,00o,oo0 fine
imposed today upon the oil trust, if it
is ever paid. That is not the way to
stop the evil practice of the money
mad corporations"
In these words William D. Haywood,
secretary treasurer of the Western
Federation Of Miners, recently acquit-
ted Of the charge Of numbering ex-
Governor Steunenberg of Idaho, dis
cussed the sentence Of the Standard
Oil company today.
"The only way the middle class and
the laboring class can get justice and
force the greedy trusts to be fair" he
continued, "is to have laws enacted
which will put the officials in Jail for
such offenses as that of which the
Standard Oil company has just been
found guilty. They would not like
to pay the penalties behind the bars.
That would cure them.
1.-THE Standard can appeal and ap-
peal, using every technicality Of the
laws to kill time, and in the end prob
ably get the decision and sentence set
aside. The poor man has not money
enough to dilly daily like that when
he is fined for such a small offense
as being intoxicated, But the big trust
can kill it's competitors and keep in
the courts until its crime IS forgotten,
Until the laws are so fixed that Jail
sentences are absolutely certain for Of
f1cials who break the laws, the evil
practice Of crushing competition and
robbing the peope will continue. The
oil trust will make the streams Of
persp1ration on the brow Of labor run
deeper and wider to pay the big fine If
it does not finally defeat the ends Of
Justice"
Haywood was in rare good humor
today. He laughed at the suggestion
that he be candidate for president
Of the United States, though he did
not deny that he may be. : s,.sses sss III. M
/ p That was suggested in New York, !"
he said, New York and the election
are both a good way Off"
He laughed, too, at President Roose-
velt's definition Of him as an undesir-
able citizen.
Il don't care to discuss that he
said, but did not lose any sleep over
it.
1T is possible that shall go to Min
nesota, where there is a. strike of min
ers In progress now. The executive
committee of the federation will meet
In Denver in a few days and that will
be decided then. I propose to go
wherever I can to help the cause of
the laboring man.
my happiness would be complete if
only Meyer and Pettibohe were free
also. So long as they are to be tried
do not care to discuss my case. My
