to prove 1t we have made a canvass

tee Treff then addressed the board.
and stated that he did no desire to
interrupt Mrs, Sheldon, but that she
was out of order. Barton, he said.
had withdrawn. and the board had
accepted his withdrawal and it con-
sidered that the end OF the matter.
Chairman White then stated that the
board had been aggravated with petit
lions and other matters in this cleo
tion, and Mrs. Sheldon came back
with the retort that he must expect
that as the board was servant Of
the people. White took issue with
her, maintaining that the members
of the board were not the servants
OF the people-that they were NOT
paid enough salary for that, and de-
clared Mrs. Sheldon out OF order.
Mrs. Sheldon continued, however,
maintaining that Barton was the peo-
pies choice, and that there was only
few who did not want him, and that
the board had been elected to voice
the sentiments Of the people.
Trustee Branson here took a hand
In the controversy. stating that the
board did not ignore the voice OF the
people--that at former meeting the
board had given Barton three votes.
but that he withdrew, and that hIs
withdrawal chad been excepted, and
he did not believe IN thrustlng the
office upon him.
"Cut IL Out" Says White.
Superintendent Barton here mixed
In the battle of words. He said that
he did not desire to be understood
as re-entering the race for personal
interests but understand the peo-
pie are for me, and are satisfied with
my work. Continuing he said, Cen

tiyeness of Mr. Tref that was

at a glance that the debate was be-
coming oyerheated, and shouted at
Barton, "cut II out" Trustee TreR
arose to take exception to the remark
of Barton and said he resented the
statement and again Chairman White
in seeking TO restore order shouted:

will drop the subject" This ended
the. warfare OF words between the
superintendent and Trustee TreH.
Continuing, Superintendent Bar

a right to petition, and right to be
heard either for or against him and
stated that he withdrew solely to

Milwaukee Free Press; The value
IN dollars and cents Of an elementary
public school education has been DEM
onstrated within limited field by a
New York school committee.
Taxing at random the names Of 376
boys who were graduated from the ele-
mentary schools Of Brooklyn in 1892. It
traced the careers OF 1872 and was able
to obtain more or less complete records
Of 1866.
''0f these, says the report, eighty
four were found to be engaged in
commerce, thirty-six in skilled labor,
twenty-five in the professions, eight in
civil service, and thirteen, as mana
gers and foremen.
The average age of the 166 under
consideration was thirty years and the
average annual income from their per-
sonal efforts were found to be 81, 253. 05.
The committee ri tile same time in
vestigated the conditions of the day
laborer in the city and found that such
mans average annual earnings
rarely exceeded $500, while his en-
pIoyment was irregular and the earn
ing period Of his life much shorter
than that of the other class.
In the case Of the 1876 young men no
evidence was found that their progress
had been materially aided by relatives
or friends. In order to Offset the fact
that in an investigation of this kind
it is possible to trace only the more
successful, the committee eliminated
from the final averages the record of
all those who had made exceptional
progress.
OF course, statistics based on N in
yestgation Of this character are
neither complete nor definite enough
to form the basis for any conclusive
DEDUCTIONS; they are sufficient, how
ever. to lead to the conclusion that
even the elements of an education
raise the individual to a plane which
brings future Of greater efficiency
within his reach.
