Hon. B. NJ. Chiperfield of Fulton

joke as follows. according to the
Galesburs Evening Mall
The Hon. B. NJ Chiperfield of Full

the central figures in the late judicial
convention at Macomb. was in the

to Denver and the west, where he is

While in Galesburg Mr. Clipper

he gave his side of the alleged joke
that was planted on the Fulton dele

When delicate reference was

ExTENDlMANUAL
TRAINING WORK
Board Adds Another Year to
Course and Employs One
More Instructor.
HAD PROVED ITS MERIT
Success of Department at High
Take Up Pattern Making.

The wonderful success which has
attended the manual training and
mechanical drawing classes at the
high school and in the graded
schools of the city" has induced the
authorities to add another year to
the course at the high school and in
order to do this another teacher has
been hired by the board of educa
tion to relieve Supervisor Alba G.
Hill of some of his lesser duties.
Manual training and mechanical
drawing was introduced into local
educational circles with the open
ing of the present high school build
ing in 1903 and at that time there
vas two year course in wood work
and drawing combined and a short
third year course in machine draw
ing in any of the grades. In six
years, the course has grown until it
is at present one of the strongest
ones in the entire school system and
to it can be given credit for keeping
more boys in school than any other
force in the power of the school
authorities. The course now eX-
tends from the fourth grade in the
graded schools TO the junior year in
high school.
Take Up Pattern Work.
The third year which has been
added to the course will be devoted
to pattern work and the elementary
work in metals. The great demand
for admission to the course for next
year caused the authorities to believe
that the addition of another year to
the course would be almost a neces-
sity. l.. L.. Karns will continue in
charge of the manual training classes
at the high school and Mr.. Hill will
remain in charge of the mechanical
drawing classes the same as last
year, but in addition, MIR. Hill will
take charge of the new third year
class in pattern work. The new
teacher. Frank Walsh, of Sunfield
Mich, will work under Mr.. Hills
supervision and take charge of the
manual training work in the graded
schools MIR. Walsh comes here we'll
recommended. having taught manual
training for two years after being
trained for it at the Western Normal
school at Kalamazoo, Mich.
Extensive changes have been made
in the manual training room at the
| high school to accommodate the
scheme. and it is now in most sat
| isfactory shape. The new band saw,
purchased some time ago. and the
need of which has been felt for many
year, has been set up by Mr. karns
who pronounces it in perfect order.
In addition a machine lathe will be
installed before the opening of the
| fall term. From present indica-
tions. there will be more applicants
for admission to the manual training
classes, both first and second year,
than can be accommodated, although
several extra benches are being in

In the Bavarlan highlands signposts
along the roads, instead of stating the
number of miles or kilometers to the
various villages, give the amount OF
time which the average pedestrian will
supposedly take to traverse the dis
lance. This Is merely an official ex-
precision of the very general custom OF
the peasants In the region, who invari-
ably tell inquSrers on the roads not
how far 1t is to a place, but how long
1t takes to get there. Not only that,

The First pantom,ms.

John Rich has the credit Of produc.
ing the first pantomime ever seen In
England. This was performed on
Dec. %, TIT, at the theater In Lin

self unable to compete with the legiti-
mate drama at Drury Lane, 50 he be-
thought himself of the comic Mosques
occasionally performed in London and
combined with their scenic and me
chanical effects the maneuvers of the
pantomime ballet. The result was

vertisement Of that day described as
"a new Italian mimic scene, between
a scaramouch, harlequin, a country
farmer, his wife and Others" There
was all the business with which we
were familiar from childhood. huts
turned into palaces. shops into gar
dens, houses into trees. OF course the
earnest student Of the drama" pro
tested against this innovation, but
Harlequin, Columbine & Co. have
maintained their hold on public favor
until the present year Of grace.
