OFFICIAL SAYS PUPILS
WASTE TINE ON POETS
New York Superintendent Takes
Issue with Champions of
Shakespearean Plays

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-The public
schools devote too much time to the
reading of poetry these days, accord
ing to DR.. William H. Maxwell, super
intendent of schools, who has just put
before the school principals his an
nual message of advice and instruc-
tion.
Shakespeare's works are especially
unadapted to the grades in the opin-
ion of DR.. Maxwell. He also depre-
Gates the habit of giving involved and
complicated mathematical problems
and too little physical training, drill
ing in reading aloud and correct pro-
nunciation.
81 do not underrate the educational
advantage of verse;" said Mr.. Max
well, 'for great narrative-poems in
variably appeal to children-such as
Longfellow's 'Evangeline' and Scotts
Lady of the Lake These poems are
much better adapted to the elemen-
tary school than any of Shakespeare 8
plays. A few good prose works should
not be neglected, either, such as Irv-
ing's Rip Van Winkle,' while books
of travel and biographies of great men
should be familiar to children. Frank
Inns autobiography should be read to
every pupil in New York
"In our mathematical work, bear in
mind that the long, complicated ana
mere puzzle problems have no place
in school work. Short problems, as
nearly as possible like the operations
required in practical life, are needed.
At least five minutes in every mathe-
matical drill should be given to rapid
addition and fifteen minutes to rapid
mental arithmetic.
II place high value on drawing, man
ual training, singing and sewing and
cooking, but the most important work
YOU have to do is physical training" :"

SEATTLE, Sept 14.-Gus Sandstrom
of Kent, Wash, a former railroad
man, was frozen to death near Flax

and news of the tragedy was brought
to Seattle last night.
The gas boat Teddy Bear, in COM
mand of Sandstrom and Joe Bernard,

cabin of Ernest X. Leffingwell's geo
logical quarters with his feet frozen.
He remained there two days and re-
sumed his march toward the gas boat.
He told Mr. Leffingwell he would go
twenty miles the first day, and stop
at an Eskimo cabin. Soon after his
departure the temperature fell to 40
degrees below zero, and binding
snowstorm set in.
A searching party set out and found
where Sandtrom had last used his
sleeping bag. His sled. mitten and
cap were picked up farther on, and the
tracks in the snow were lost.
The party searched for days, but the
body was not found.

WOMAN WITNESS BEFORE JURY
Sales Agent Made City Inspec-
tors Wife Partner in
His Agency
(Associatsd Press)

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-The so-called
"brick trust" was indicted by the fed
eral grand jury today, charged with
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law. Four individuals and three COM
panies are named. Those indicted are
d. V. Purinton, president of the
Purinton Paving Brick company of
Galesburg, ILL.,; &C. Barr, president
of the Barr Clay company of Reading,
ILL.,; H. S. Benkert, secretary of the
Metropolitan Paving Brick company of
Canton, Ohio; William F. Brennan,
Chicago, sales agent for the three COM
panies. The companies also were in
dicted.
Judge Lands in the United States
district. court issued bench warrants
against the accused. 1t was alleged
that the defendants were engaged in a
combination in restraint of trade, and
that annual meetings were held at
which the price of brick for Chicago
was fixed.
An unusual story lies back of the re-
turn of the indictments.
Brennan, the sales agent, was promt-
nent politically d. j. Christopher was
an inspector employed by the city to
pass on paving brick. Brennan is al
legged to have taken Christophers wife,
Mrs. Aileen Christopher, into partner
ship in the sales agency.
A year ago Inspector Christopher lost
his position with the city, and Mrs.
Christopher sued Brennan later for
what she alleged was her share in the
profits of the agency. When she lost
the suit she and her husband went be-
fore the grand jury.

erintendent Granted a Stay

Heike, who has been called "the man
higher up" is still pending.

SIGNATURE OF WYANTS
FOUND ON OLD CANVAS
Critics Declare Picture Is Work
of Gainsborough's Tutor

DETROIT, Sept. 14.-The signature
"Wyants 1863" was found under the
dirt of centuries on a canvas bought
for q few dollars in a secondhand shop
here sometime ago. The painting ap-
peared in the Detroit museum of art
yesterday and it's history was told.
1t belongs to John A. Steen, an attor-
ney, and collector of antiques. He pur-
chased 1t of a woman who had bought
it because she admired the frame. 1t
was so dirty the figures were almost
indistinguishable.
Steen cleaned it as thoroughly as he
dared, but found no signature. Sew
eral art critics pronounced it a Gains
borough. Gainsborough was Wyant's
pupil. One man was certain it was.
Wyant. Finally a painter took it
and finished the cleaning process last
Saturday. The Wyant signature is
as clear Ns the day it was made.

FARMERS PROTECT HAWKS
TO WAR ON GRASSH0PPERS

LOVELAND, Colo, Sept. 14.-Chick
en- hawks, once the bane of the far
mer's life, today are the most pro-
tected birds in this part of Colorado,
the ranchmen guarding them against
slaughter with vigilance that has
put state game wardens to shame.
The undue alliance is due to a pest
of grashoppers, which has threatened
the alfalfa with ruin. The hawk, of
which nearly 1000 have congregated in
this section, have proven the most ef-
fectual way of destroying the grass
hoppers, which they regard as delica-
cies, leaving chickens unmolested.
