CREATE SPECIAL TREASURERS

For the government of the new county high schools of the State. rules and regulations applicable to all have been adopted by the High School Com mission and were made public Thurs day. They are very comprehensive and from complete supplement to the high school law passed by the Leg islature of 1907, but which provided little of the governing details.
 Practically the entire control of, the high schools is given to the county Boards of Educatiops. The principal and assistants of each school are com manded to use the uniform course of study as prescribed by the State Su- perintendent Of Education.
 One feature of the document is the division of the States annual appro- prtation of $2,000 to each county high school into quarterly installments of $500. The school sessions are divided into two terms of four and a half months each. Much of the code is de- voted to the system of principals mak- ing reports and to the duties of a treasurer for each school who is re- quired to furnish bond of $3,000. but receives no compensation.
 Copies of Regulations.
 The regulations are as follows:
 1. The county board of education shall nominate teachers for the county high school and the nomination shall be sent to the High School Commission for approval. The board in sending in the nominations shall suggest the salary to be paid each teacher.
 3. The teachers of the county high school shall consist of a principal and one or more assistants.
 8. The principal shall be employed for the calendar year and be paid by the calendar month. The assistant teachers shall be paid by the scholastic month and be employed for nine months tthirty-six weeks.)
 {. The teachers shall keep and accu- rate rechrd of the daily recitations and conduct of the pupils, and at the end of each term make a general report of each pupil to the principal who shall place this report on a general record book which shall be well bound md kept for future reference The principal shall keep Q matriculation look in which shall be placed the 1ames of the pupils as they matricu- hte, giving the full name. home ad- dess, age, and any other desired in- formation.

 Charles Frohman has never made local players a better dramatic offer ing than The Thief" which comes to The Grand tonight and Saturday matinee and night.

For the local per- formances of "The Thief" Mir. Froh- man has selected an exceptionally clever cast whose members include Charles Dalton, Herbert Kelcey and Efie shannon. All the players have been personally rehearsed in their several parts by Mir. Frohman.

In less than two months time after it's first Paris production.

BURNS CRrrc1sEs LABOR.
Makes Comparison Between English
 men and Americana.


 London. Oct. 29.--John Burns, the labor leader and president of the local government board. drew down upon his head the snathema of the laborites when in the House Of Commons this afternoon he intimated that the many disadvantages under which the British unemployed labor as compared to the unemployed in America was that the Britons drank more than their trans Atlantic confreres.
 Mir Burns repudiated the suggestion that the difference lay in the fact that the American unemployed had money in their pockets.
 "I have been in America three times" he said. ''and the only difeer- ence saw between the unemployed In America and those of this country was that the former for a short time after losing work, were better dressed. Many of them do not drink SO much as do many British unemployed work men, but they have an advantage in the number of days they are idle" Loud cries of @it is untrue. It ia a shameful comparison" greeted Mir Burns's statement

a great puzzle to the Herald at the out
set, but they have now discovered the
secret. 1t is Roosevelt's despotic die
tation to the republican leaders that has
resulted in feeling of disgust and
apathy not equalled in Harrison's over
whelming defeat in 1892. All the lead
ing republicans feel that the nomination
of Mr.. Taft was not made by the repub-
lican party, but by the direct appoint

kind of political game not relished by
