NEW SCHOOL METHOD.
No Course OF Study Rapid Pro-
Dress Made.

-
A school without set courses in arith-
metic, geography, spelling, grammar, ETC.,
is maintained by the Teachers College, of
Missouri University, at Columbia, Mo-,
and the progress made by The children is
remarkable.
The school Is under the supervision Of
Professor ]. L. Merriam, and under appli-
cation of scientific methods. devised by the
Missouri University Teachers College
faculty. Children i the elementary school
make much more rapid progress than in a
school of the ordinary prevalent type in
American cities. The system is, briefly,
to let the child do things it likes to do,
and, through doing these things educate
ITSELF
No course of study is followed. Formal
reading lessons, writing lessons, number
work, language or arithmetic are not given
the first year, and yet pupils have been
known to read as high as twenty-four
books during the first year in school,, and
the. children can do number work that
would task an ordinary third-grade pupil
Arithmetic and number work is taught
by games. A very popular number game
includes throwing rubber balls at basket
several feet away, each ball counting so
many points, according to the distance it
is thrown from, marks on the floor in
dicating the various throwing stations.
There ale seven of these lines in all, and
the bookkeeping accordingly requires no
little multiplication and addition. The
game is an interesting one when several
are. playing, and the children do multi
plication off hand that seems marvellous.
If the player makes mistake in announc-
ing his score it calls forth an instant
chorus of corrections from the others in
the game who have followed his play and
kept track of his score as we'll as their
own.
The entire scheme of schooling the
children is informal. Pupils are flee to
move about and talk so long as they do
not interfere with some one else The
children learn self-control and are never
idle.
A thorough study of local and national
industries is feature of the system. The
fourth-grade pupils study industries en-
tirely. Teachers take the children to the
various industrial plants and business
places of the town and articles are then
written by the pupils on what has been
seen, methods followed, etc.
Industries at large engage the fifth and
sixth grade pupils who study numbering,
mining, farming, manufacturing, means
of transportation, commerce and govern
ment.

In this country a few monopolists are
collecting forced tribute from the people;
smallsfraction of the people use the pro-
tective tariff to lay burdensome tax
upon the rest of the population; and just
now water power trust is reaching ont
after the mountain streams with the in
tention ofcollecting perpetual toll from
industry. 1t is the duty of every citizen
to stndy these questions and use his H.
fuence to prevent the absorption of the
productive machinery of the country by a
favored few.

Taft. Aldrich and Cannon. These are
the all-powerful tr;umvirs. Acting to-
gether they are thought big enough to
stifle the voice of protest, inside congress
and outside, and use the republican party
as machine to accomplish certain def.
mite ends.
Those ends have already been outlined
by the president himself They include
a central bank of issue, shipping sub
sidy, the weakening of the interstate
commerce commission by scattering its
duties and powers, the pulling of the teeth
of the Sherman antitrust law, opposition
to the income tax except in time of war,
and no further tarifflegislaiion during the
present administration.

Francisco Ferrer, leader of the Spanish
revelation, who was shot by order Of the
King of Spain, died with the cry Long
live the modern schools, and the king
and the ministers of the king appear to
have been surprised. They we're also
surprised by the CONJUNCTION created
throughout the world by the martyrdom
of Ferrer. They will probably be sur
prised when they find that Ferrer's tragic
death has only given new impetus to the
cause for which he fought.

The struggle began a year and a half

d. r. Woods said: I'VE are supremely
happy. This days work means much to

Up and down Canal street jubilant
citizens walked, talking of the great

number of consOlidationists from San
Pedro were over, anxious to hear the
first news Of the result of the election.
The Los Angeles residents of former
Wilmington told the visitors from San
Pedro: ''It is now up to you to get

the great city of Los Angeles They
were told that San Pedro was ready
to COM just as soon as the eight N

this line were made by one or two
Observation-Disclosures I'VE are all
in," admitted Captain Banning, who
earlier in the day had been claiming
that consolidation was defeated, and
the result is so decisive that there is
no loophole.
The counting of the ballots was car
ried out with utmost regularity. and
every feature up to the formal sealing
was followed out scrupulously in ac-
cordanCe with the law. A. p. Fleming
and others congratulated the election
officers with the fidelity and dexterity
with which they did their duty. City
Attorney Hewitt of Los Angeles was
thoroughly satisfied before he left that
no possible chance exists for a con-
test
In addition to the 107 votes for and
81 against there were but seven votes
eligible which not cast, and these were
MeXcans, sick persons or men out of
the city and unable to get here. The
thoroughness with which the anti-con-
soldation element combed for votes is
against consolidation was brought all
the way from San Francisco expressly
to cast his ballot against the issue
At one time w. r. Wheatley endeav-
ored to create sentiment by Offering 10
bet $4,000 that Los Angeles would not
raise the money on bonds as pledged
by the consolidation committee. This
was promptly covered by A. p. Flem-
ing, who said he regarded it as one of
the best investments he had ever heard
of. He wanted the amount raised to
$4,000, but Mr. Wheatley quickly with
drew his bluff.

Secretary Seward of Consolidation
Committee Declares There Is
Now No Excuse for Opposi-
ton to Consolidation
I Special to The Herald. ]

SAN PEDRO, Aug. 4.-The result of
the consolidation election at Whining
ton was received with rejoicing by the
consolidation forces of this city, who
realize that with Wilmington safely
into Los Angeles there is absolutely
no excuse or reason for the most har-
dened anti to advocate keeping out.
Had the election at Wilmington
failed. on the other hand, it was eX-
pected that a tremendous effort would
be made to defeat the election here
August 70. 1t is not thought that a
big fight will be made now that VIII
mington has consolidated. Secretary
e. ID. Seward of the consolidation COM
mittee said after his return from Will
mington tonight.
"The result at Wilmington was ex-
pected, the estimate there made by
f. S. Cary July 49, showing 108 for, SO
doubtful and 35 against AS to the
effect here, | cannot see how any rea-
sonable man can now vote against 1t.
even if he formerly was against
the merger he must now see that with
Wilmington in. Los Angeles has a
harbor and can develop it, too. Should
san Pedro stay out, we will be simply
"A whistling station and all the busi-
ness of this port will go by our doors
to Los Angeles harbor.
con the other hand, the millions
promised for San Pedro will be avail
able after we consolidate and the Inner
and other harbors will both be deVel-
oped. Our only salvation now is to
consolidate and | believe most of our
doubtful voters will see the futility Of
blocking the wheels of progress and
being crushed thereby.
"The opposition here may be great
or small, but our fight will go on until
every vote has been cast August 13.
We will take no chances, and While
the result appears very rosy at this
time, we are on the lookout for stormy
weather and will fight every inch of
the way to success. Our voters are
not to be fooled and they will vote
right on election day"

TIME DISCLOSES
MANY FORGERIES
tContinued from Fare One,

Won der Kuhlen is forgery, but the
latter also has in his possession an as
signment of a mortgage which he had
recorded yesterday afternoon. Record
er Logan says that the question now
arising is as to the whereabouts of the
original mortgage and the original
note The interests of Won der <uhlen
have no doubt been protected by re
Cording the assignment if he really Is
the possessor of the original note.
A few people have demanded TO know
why the forged documents were not
discovered sooner. This is accounted
for by the fact that none Of the docu-
ments with Endorsements placed there
on ever came To the recorders office.
Warrington was a whole recording
office Of his own, according to the sup
plies found i'm his office, and it is only
due to Recorder Logan's careful exam
inatiOn of all documents which pass
before him that the frauds were dis
covered. II is believed developments
may disclose other fraudulent opera
tions that may class Warrington as
one of the most daring forgers of real
estate instruments eyer operating on

documentary evidence to submit. Each
instrument is being thoroughly exam

long list of possible forgerics to look
