SIAGtEHANDED BANDIT
 HOLDS UP A BANK
HE ESCAPES PURsUERs ON A
 BICYCLE.
In His Flight His Hat is Shot From
 His Head.

Everett, Wash, July GA lone bandit held up Assistant Cashier E. O. olsen. of the Bank of Commerce shortly before the bank closed this afternoon, wounded Cashier J. L. Lyon and escaped with a few hun dred dollars. The exact amount is not known.
 The robber was unmasked. He es- caped on a bicycle, which he appears to have hidden in the vicinity of the bank. He rode to the north end of the city, and from there went to the water front, where the pUrsuers found a satchel in which the robber had carried his loot. But $15 was left in it.
 When the bandit entered the bank he thrust two revOlvers into Olson's face and commanding him to throw up his hands, laid down one gun, seized all the money in reach and placed it in the catchel. Ths thief paid. no attention to a few customers in the bank. Cashier Lyon, who was in the rear of the building, ran out the back way and around to the front door, where he caught the rob- Der and grappled with him. The rob Der shot three times, one bullet pass ing through Lyons jaw and neck. making a serious wound.
 He then fled, both Lyon and Olson shooting at him. The thiefs hat was shot off and it is believed he was slightly wounded A few moments later he was seen on the bicycle frantically riding away.

and useful studies which should be
 made compulsory for all; and by the
 abandonment of many of the educa-
 uonal experiments introduced eitheS at the behest or in imitation of the college, and especially by the elevation of the standard of the high school teacher and the employment of larger proportion of men as teachers, teach
 CTS who are trained as teachers and not as research men. He also said that when this regeneration of the high school has been effected, secondary
 education, so called, will not only
 broaden out greatly, but that it will
 reach upward to include all the dis ciplinary and cultural work of the col lege In other words, the democratiza- tion of>secondary education will drive out the sO-called college of liberal arts, which occupies no indispensable place in American education.
 Whichever every pupil who leaves the disciplinary high school is com pelled to choose some definite course of study leading to some definite need, and not be permitted to spend four years more in aimless work, the prob AtlAl pI liiC <Aiittil1stiA COiAcSt VIII nave been solved, and not until then," said Prof Williston in conclusion.
 In the department of special educa- ton, Carroll c. Pearse of Milwaukee urged the special care of children born short" and Sybrant Wesselius of Grand Rapids. Mich, spoke of the duty of the state toward the "eXceptiOnAr' child. He said:
 The English problem of how to eliminate the 'HoOligans' does not yet confront us seriously, but intelligent and systematic action along we'll de- fined lines covering the whole country through the common school is neces- sary to prevent a degenerate class, the individual of which has been aptly de- seribed as too heavy for light work and too light for heavy work
 Tt is time" the speaker continued, that the child was treated as unit by other than standard methods and subjected to scientific inquiry both from the psychologists and the pathol- ogists' point of view. These experts should be employed by the state and sent to all communities and conduct the examinations necessary to inform the local school boards of the exact condition of every pupil reported delip- quent and backward in grade work.
 Delinquent mental or physical de- fectives should be separated from the normal children for sufficient length of time to bring them back to a normal condition if possible. It is needless to say that incurables should be, segre- gated permanently and perhaps in the state institutions for the feeble minded The employment of trained experts constantly for this purpose may be advisable and this can only be deter mined when the extent of the work to be undertaken is known"
