SO ME- F ALL
TO MAKE
GOOD

In an address delivered before one
OF the parents classes OF this city
Joel ]. Harris, principal OF the Grant
school. outlined in 4 very interesting
manner the policy in vogue at pres
ent in the public schools OF ogden re-
garding supervision Mr.. Harrls stal-
cd that the plan is succeeding well
and by such close supervision IL Is
impossible for a weak teacher 10 es-
cape attention.
There is one supervisor appointed
for each grade and II is his duty TO
supervise that grade in all OF the
schools and to study the same grade
In schools OF other cities. He thls
becomes a specialist in that particular
grade and knows everything that Is
going on in that grade in all of the
schools, When weak teacher is
detected. the attention of both prin-
cipal and supervisor Is concentrated
on that teacher and she must either
improve or withdraw from the system,
and in order that every teacher may
know how she is succeeding, she Is
marked once each month BY the prin-
cipal. being graded either a. b. c or
d. This being done. each month al
lows her the opportunity to make bet
ter grades IL she has the capacity to
do so. One copy of her grades will
he given TO her and another copy VIII
be sent to Superintendent Mills. At
the end of the year an average of
these grades will bo made.
a teacher who has an average grade
OF A Will be given the maximum ad-
vance In salary; one who has the
average grade OF B Will have small
increase in salary one who is graded
will receive still smaller increase
and the one receiving the grade Of
D Will be eliminated from the service.
This makes for efficiency Where n
teacher is found TO grade d right from
the beginning with no possible show
OF Improvement she may be asked to
retire at once, this having been done
on two or three occasions
In addition to the regular Grado SUI
pervisors, there are also supervisors
In special departments. There is a
supervisor OF art. one of music and
supervisor OF sewing. These super
visors work in the special depart
lflents where the average teacher is
much less competent
Under the present system, everyone
is working hard for his own welfare
and for the welfare of his Associate
teachers and the schools are thriving
as n result. The grade supervisors
are chosen from among the principals
and once in two weeks each supervisor
meets all Of the teachers in the city
in his special grade at the Sub-Hlgh
building to perfect plans for the fol-
lowing month.
The policy of Supt Mills. In the
organizing of the achool system, is

RATE DECISIONS
AND BURLINGTON

Chicago. Oct 31.-"Rate decisions
In what are known as the Denver,
Spokane and other western cases Will
cost the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy 100000.
The old rebatlEg system reduced
the freight revenue of the Burlington
from 9 to per cent. The Burlington
Is not In as good condition to accu-
mulatc a surplus now as 1t was ter
years ago
The foregoing are among the state
ments made at the rate hearing today
by Claude G. Burnham. ylce-pTesident
of the Burlington, who was the first
witness.
Attorney It. ]. Norton, who repre-
sents the railways as whole at the
hearing, stated that he had only one
more witness to introduce On the
subject of western rate decisions Mr..
Burnham said
The decisions have not been or.
dered into effect as yet, but. unless
they are materially modified, they
will, conservatiyely estimated, cause
the Burlington a loss of 100000 an
nGally'
Attorney Dawes of the Burlington
asked what effect on revenues rebat-
ing had before the law made the prac-
tice illegal.
Rebates were given almost eXclu.
sively on high class freight replied
the witness. "The result was a rate
that was much lower than was fair
to the railroads. But at no time did
rebates cause more than Il to per
cent decrease in the revenues of the
Burlington"
You have mentioned" said Attor,
ney Lyon Of the commission. that the
proposed increase would give the Bur.
lngton road about 100000. For what
purpose do you want that money!"
The Burlington needs 100000 and
more to maintain the efficiency of the
property as transportation ma
chine"
DO you consider the Burlington
an efficient transportation machine at
present." asked Mr.. Lyon
AS compared with other roads,
yes"
When Mr., Lyon inquired IL the wit
ness considered the Burlington to be
In a worse financial condition than il
was in 1900, the latter hesitated and
answered;

SA W GHOSTS
IN THE HIGH

Perhaps the most unique social ever
given in ogden was the Halloween
party at the high school Saturday
night. IT was strictly an educational
affair of the ogden Teachers associa-

education in ghost lore and acquaint-
ing them with the grotesque denizens
OF the shadow world
At O'Clock all the pretty school
marms for the grade and high schools
and all the Brownies" they could
find, together with n few members of
the board of education, were met at
the entrance of the high school by
reception committee of little red
devils and several stately ghosts, who
conducted them through dark alleys.
To a fnntastically lighted hall Here
the guests were mated quite to the
delight of the satanic ones. but with

BUYS OPIUM
FOR CONVICTS

Salt Lake, Oct 31-Attempting to
smuggle TO three inmates OF the state
prison enough opium and morphine
TO kill a hundred persons, Fred
Brown who Saturday morning COM
pleted a years sentence for burglary,
was caught in the act by Deputy
Warden A. c. Urc late Saturday af-
ternoon, and is now In the custody Of
the sheriff, awaiting trial on the
charge of attempting to Smuggle
dope" to prisoners.
The attempt at smuggling was most
cleverly arranged by Brown, who be-
fore his term in the Utah prison
served a prison sentence in California
Leaving the prison Saturday morning
he returned later In the day with
three sacks OF fruit consigned TO three
of the prison inmates. One OF the
paper sacks contained a false bottom
crudely arranged by Brown, In which
was concealed a quantity OF NOR

on the desk In the warden's ofilfiice.

yicts are thoroughly examined This
led to the Investigation which result
ed In the discovery of the three CO.
coanuts filled with dope. two contain
ing yen shee and the other lllled with
morphine. Yen shee is the Chinese
name for the ashes resulting from
smoking opium.
The cocoanuts and drugs were con-
signed to Ambrose Donlin, serving
ten years for robbery; j. B. Davis,
serving four years for grand larceny.
and Ed Mccullough, doing a year for
burglary in the second degree, All
three conyicts deny knowing any
thing about the attempt to Smuggle
them drugs, and Brown refuses to tell
who Is in with him on the deal.
Brown Admits Guilt.
To purchase the oplates, Brown
spent $3.50 of the SO he had when
he left the prison. When confronted
with his guilt he frankly owned up.
He said he had been forced to go out
OF town TO purchase the yen shee and
morphine, but as he was absent from
the prison less than seven hours all
told. and as some little time was nee
essarv to prepare the cocoanuts and
the paper sack with the false bottom,
it is certain he could not have gone
very far
Utah statutes make the smuggling
or attempting to smuggle or the fur
nishing Of drugs to prisoners or con.
victs a misdemeanor. so if Brown
should receive the maximum SEN
tence he Will only get six months in
the county jail. Warden Arthur
Pratt says this penalty is too mild,

KISSING JAP
is AGAIN IN
I ROUBLE

in the person of Frank KaGawa,
the Japanese kissing bug the police
have on their hands, white elephant
and are looking about for some meth
cd Of disposing of him.
Kagawa has been twice arrested
during the past month for attempting
TO kiss women on the streets On each
occasion the fellow has feigned in
ability to speak English when ar
Taigned in court, although the arrest
ing officers have testified that he
spoke English to the woman he at
tempted TO kiss.
A Japanese Interpreter stated at tho
police station this morning that
kagawa appears perfectly rational on
all subjects, but that he confeSSes to
uncomfortable mania for oscillation
According to this interpreter, Kagawa,
while walking peacefully along the
street, Will be suddenly seized by
the strange and irresistible desire to
kiss some passing woman and will
make nm insane attempt to carry out
the impulse.
kaGawa was arraigned In police
court this morning and fined $50 or
thirty days on a charge oil yagrancy.
Judge j. ID. Murphy instructed the po-
lice TO communicate with the lmmicra-
ton officers in an effort to have the
man deDorted from the country.
Detective James Pendcr states that
already the police have made such an
effort and learned that Kagawa has
been in this country ten years and
that deportation will be impossible.

MYST 7 ERIOUS
ASSAULT
CASE

A very mysterious assault case was
heard In the police court this morning,
neither the complainant nor the de
iendant being able TO testify In what
manner the assault was made. The
face of the complainant was sufficient
evidence TO cause conviction. how
ever. and q fine of $40 was adminlst-
cred to the absent-minded prisoner.
The man alleged to have committed
the assault was William Chapple, re-
siding on Twenty-third street. near
Quincy avenue He was arrested on
a complaint sworn to by ]. w. Brown
ing. Browning rents one of the rooms
of the Chapple residence and the
two men have been fast friends On
the witness stand, Browning stated
that he was in his room, Saturday,
when Chapple entered and accused
him of stealing 500 from the house.
This was about all the complaining
witness could tell Forty minutes af-
ter Chapple entered the room, Brown
ing recalled finding himself on tho
floor in a pool Of blood and knew he
had an awful headache. Both eyes
were swollen shut and there was a
severe scalp wound, still bleeding.
This was all that Browning could re-
member OF the assault, but his face
looked as though he might have been
struck by an eight-incb beam.
Chapple knew no more of the as-
sault than his victim He remember
ed that he had discovered the theft
OF SEQ which he saved to pay taxes
and that he was greatly excited by
the loss He thought that the money
had been taken by Browning and went
into his tenents room TO ask him
about it, Here his memory failed. He
could not tell what had happened In
the room and coulo not say whether
he had struck Browning with a feath-
er duster or gunny sack filled with
pig Iron. He said that he had lat
er learned that Browning had nothing
to do with the stealing of the money
and that he had apologized to the
man for the assault Browning stated
he was certain Chapple had merely
made mistake and gave evidence of
a desire TO withdraw his complaint.
Had Brownings face not shown the
deadly nature Of the assault, it IS
likely that the case would have been
dismissed by the court, but when the
judge took a long scrutinizing look at
the battered countenance of the re-
luctant complainant he determined not
to let the assailant go unpunished.
