sephine county's long list. Yester-
day afternoon, James Mcclure shot
and killed Angus Knapp over a dis
puted copper prospect on the Illinois

himself up.
His story is that Knapp was at
tempting to jump his claim and was
making thFeats against HIS life and
that while he was going down to his
mine yesterday he noticed Knapp
skulking off in the brush near the
trail.
Thinking his life in danger he int
mediately shot with his 1855 and
fred three shots and then came on
and left the body.
Boht parties were old men past

Government Insane.

The appointment OF a commission TO
examine into the laws relating to the
commitment of insane persons to the
Government Hospital for the Insane
and TO ascertain whether additional ac-
commOdations are required at that in
stitutiOn. Is proposed in a communlca-

Secretary Hilles of the Treasury De-

informed there is no regular standard
Of rating reports in the schools OF the
District; that this rating is left en-
tlrely TO the teachers arbitrary power
Following DR.. Kimbalrs suggestion"
continues the statement Of these pa
rents. I'VE called upon a teacher whose
reports, our children claimed, had not
done them Justice. This teacher in
formed US that her only method Of rat
ing was as she thought best She said
that for example, If she gave her pu-
pills smaller number OF problems. she
reduced her rating accordingly. This
was amply demonstrated when one Of
her pupils brought home next day
class examination paper. containing five
problems in arithmetic. each being
marked correct and given 10 points. The
paper however, Notwithstanding the
fact that il was perfect. was graded
fifty. when according 20 any common
been graded 100"
Superintendent Stuart. OF the public
schools states, on the other hand, that
teachers do not mark by percentage,
either on daily recitatiOns and exercises,
or on monthly examinations but that
they grade all work of public school
children under the general terms, eX-
cellent, good, fair, unsatisfactory, and
poor. Each teacher. he says, grades
the work Of her pupils according 10 her
own judgment or discretion. and there
Is no liked standard of rating.
Follow Own Judgment"
Our teachers, however. are instructed
in general principles Of grading and
judging work" added Superintendent
Stuart, land I hardly see how any
Of them can do more than follow her
best judgment and her conscience, and
her daily estimates of the work of
pupils in making out her monthly re-
ports"
The dissatisfied patrons assert that
what one teacher considers excellent
another grades as only fair. and that
pupils whose work received satisfactory
marks in one grade are often discour-
aged and perpleNed. when. upon enter
ing another grade. they maintain the
same standard of excellence. and are
marked by an entirely different stand
ard of rating.

southeast viii present will demand some

cation whereby a standard of grading

HEAVY RAIN CAUSES
A VERY LIGHT VOTE
ELECTIONS BEING HELD IN
THIRTY-NlNE SCHOOL DIS
TRlCTS IN COUNTY TODAY.

The rain of today has made the
vote in the special school election
in both city ami outlying school
districts exceptionally light. In the
city it has rained almost all day
and many did not get out to vote.
According 10 the law passed by
the legislature thirty per cent OF
the voting strength of the district
must vote on the measure an da ma
jority must favor the increased as
sessment. Should the proposed in
crease in assessment be defeated in
Ardmore, it is said this city will
be unable TO have schools nine
months out of the year as hereto
fore. There are nine boxes in this
city and up to late this afternoon the
vote at these was in no way suffi.
cient. There seems little opposition
to the tax, but the rain and natural
lax interest on the part of many
voters has made the vote light
A similar election is being held in
every county of the state.
Advocates of the increase are
working hard and if the voter gets
out the levy will be made. The cleo
tion means much to the city's
schools.
