While he was boy his father died,
and at IL years of age he left his ma
tive village and went to London. he
had received considerable schooling
for one SO young, and in London an
opportunity for self-educatiOn was
presented him by being employed in a
large bookstore. He became well ac-
quainted with the city Of London, and
one of the incidents of which he spoke

Wellington riding through the streets.
He went to sea from London and spent

THE TEACHERS OF CITY DISCUSS
TEEsE PROBLEMS.

Tuesday evening the members of
the high 6, hool fatut ty met with the
superintendent. The superi ntendent
.ead letter from Frank L. Thomp-
son, high school inspector for the
University of Colorado, In regard to
certain changes in college and uni
yersity entrance requirements. The
letter evoked an animated discussion.
One question in the letter is How
would you have the university mod
fy its entrance requirements to the
end of complying with the sugges-
lions of the follow. ng expressions by
the last conference: Resolved, that
each high school should be at liberty
to arrange the contents of four to
six units OF It's course to the end OF
est subscribing local needs and that
the university should accept for en-
trance such units of this work IA
have heen vol organized and well
taught. even though the 6ueje,t mat
ter is not traditional?"
The teac hers heartily endorsed this
resolution: but, on account OF .ary-
Ing standards and different condi-
tions connected with the many high
schools in Colorado. 1t is their unan-
imous opinion that limited num-
ber of units, not to exceed three.
should be first adopted.
Another question in INSPECTOR
Thompson's letter reads: What
would you say to some scheme OF
classification of the schools of the az
credited list into, say, three classes,
which would give greater privileges
to class A than to class b or class {
schools in respect to course of study
and the admission of graduates to
college? What Of you believe in the
plan) would you make the diferen-
tia of these three classes?'
The teac hers decided that the dif-
ferentia of these three classes should
be quality of york, qualifications OF
teachers, equipment, record made by

The third important question is
DO you consider il more desirable
to introduce into the high schools

or to modify the content and method

novel. and In one sense still the hero
of the play. But behind the foot

which is really his due and which In
the story Mr.. Nicholson allowed him
by suggestion rather than by empha-
sis. This adjustment of the charac-
ter's values Is less a liberty than a
development of the novels possibili-
ties and not only does 1t modify the
story to any material extent. but
assists as matter of fact in making
the stage version clearer than it
might otherwise have been and the
