says:
GA marked feature of this part
was the performing of little Miss
Weber of Watertown, who astonlshed
the audience with her skillful perfor-
mances and set all to wondering how
one so young could exhibit such grace
and alertness, such confidence in her
self, and such marvellous executions
both as singer and dancer. 1t was a
guod show and it is admitted that
Miss Weber was the star of the
occasion.

"How old is Amp Feb. 29th WIT

Mrs. Joseph Klein of 1912 Seventh

this evening by entertaining a number
unusual would be thought of the in
cident were it not for the fact that
the birthday OF Mrs. Klein falls on the
18th of February, in leap year. 1t is
therefore realized that the hostess on
this occasion is not blessed with AS
many birthdays as the majority of
people, having one but once in every
four years. 1t is naturally taken
for granted in our manner of comput
ing time that Mrs. Klein is siXty-three
years of age, but the question arises,
els she of that age?'' Here is an
opportunity for little figuring in an
effort to offer a proper solution. Or
course the majority will accept the
theory that Mrs. Klein has lived
sixty-three years, although she has
had birthday but once in every four
years. but there may be some who
will not accept such solution. Mrs

". P. ROSEMAN At
NATIONAL NEE TING
CITY SUPERINTENDENTS MEET
AT CHICAGO THREE DAYS.
Plan for Reorganization of School
SyStem-TO Put Eighth Grade in
High school, and Latter to Have
Five Year Course Looks Good
at Glance,
(From Fridays DaiIy.)

W. +. ROseman, superintendent of
schools, returned last evening from
Chicago, where he spent Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday in attendance
at the national convention of city
superintendent. In speaking of the
gathering, at which many matters of
Importance came up, Mr.. Roseman in
an interview with The Leader last
evening, had the following to say:
"The most important sensation
sprung was plan to reorganize the
school system so as to have seven years
below the high school and five years
in the high school. This Will amount
to putting the Eighth grade in the
high school. The plan was advocated
by Superintendent Greenwood of Kan
sas City, where similar system has
been in vogue for a number of years.
1t is claimed that the tendency of the
pupils is to complete their education
at the close of the Eighth grade course
and that by transferring the Eighth
grade to the high school, it is claimed
that pupils once started in the high
school are more apt to complete the
course. The claim is further made
that the pupils come in closer touch
with professionally trained teachers
and that at present boards of education
do not give as much attention to the
qualifications of the grade teachers as
to the high schools teachers. 1t was
argued that where the plan has been
tried, statistics show that the number
of graduates from the high has been
increased thirty per cent. -
The above plan appears to be a
most feasible one. While it is new
to The Leader, it seems to be worthy
of consideration and investigation by
the local board of education.

That he gave good satisfaction any
member of the County Board in those
years will attest, and in the trial of
his cases he showed great industry
and ability.
That Judge Rogers is qualified for

fair minded and has the judicial tenn

able trial lawyer. He is careful and
methodical In his habits, is especially

and has had large experience in pro-

trial judge III civil cases; buG as a
probate judge he has already won the
commentator of all who have come
before him.
