Ability Undoubted.

Similar testimony was offered by s.
y. Kramer, supervising principal of the
Sixth division, who said that there was
no argument against the fact that Dr.
Chancellor had given the schools and
teachers great intellectual stimulus" "
On cross-exan5nation he said that the
Euperintendents interest in the work
and his ability was undoubted He
ranks high as student and Is keen
for the advancement Of education" q"

Namara, when an answer might have
criticised some acts of the superin-
tendent. Mr. Kramer said that he did
not believe II proper that a subordinate
should answer. He said that ne DIFF
fered from the superintendent in some
minor questions.
DR.. Patterson. supervising principal Of
the Fourth division, accorded the super
intendent credit for tho establishment
OF ungraded schools and Of showing a
deep interest in his work. Admitting
on the cross-examination that DR.. Chan
celoTs work had not been uniformly

cess could only come where the super
intendent has the hearty cooperation
OF all subOrdinates.

tribute 20 Dr. Chancellor as a super
intendent, stating that he had done

ulate interest. Dr. Chancellor's lee
lures he said, were particularly valu-
able, whereas those OF former years
aad been practically valueIess to the

Chancellor Has Been
Conscientious.
Witnesses Favor Superin-
tendent in Afternoon
Session of Trial.

The continuation of the Chancellor
hearing before the Board Of Education
yesterday afternoon was unmarked by
any dramatic incidents such as have
enlivened previous sessions. Only four
witnesses were heard. all favorable 10
the accused superintendent. and there
was but little dissension between coun-
eel or board members as TO the char
acter of the testimony.
Before the meeting adjourned until
this afternoon at $3.50 Captain Oyster
arose to defend himself against certain
:-umors which he said were TO the ef-
feet that he had acted unfairly during
the trial In some way lie challenged
anyone to show that his conduct had
had been other than a gentleman at all
times, and said that every official ac-
ton he had taken during the hearing
had been what he conscienuously
thought 10 be the best for the schools.
Referred to Newspapers.
Asked later to what he referred Cap
tain oyster said that he had refer
snce To certain statements made in
newspapers and also some contemplated
action which it had been said would

yesterday was similar in character and

Don't read the book. 1t interferes with
preconceived notions. II is distinctly an.
noying when you have formed an elabo-

thought. Don't cut the pages.
II writing for a serious journal note the
