Offer Special Class
For Bright Scholars

Parents and educators everywhere will
be interested In the experiment now be-
Ing tried in the Cincinnati public schools
of establishing a classroom for espe-
cially bright pupils. which would ap-
pear to be the logical accompaniment
of the classroom for backward pupils.
The proposition that 1t Is as unfair to
hold back the apt or clever child In the
ranks OF the mediocre as 1t is to speed
the dull pupil to pace he cannot MAIN
tain appeals as reasona BILE and common
sense.
1t will be argued with much force
that the system which makes provision
for caring for the backward pupil can
not be justified without provision is
made for accommodating the needs of
those who can advance more rapidly
ply provides for the application to
schooling Of the plan that Is generally
adopted and followed in the business
world, where wage scales, chances Of
promotion, and all the advantages are
based on the ability of those employed
to advance rapidly in one line or an
other. This has not been the rule In the
schools where the system has been ad-
justed to meet the requirements of the
average pupil, with special provision
made for those yellow the average
The net result of this system has been
retardation, for which the pupils are
not to blame. The Cincinnati educators
have decided that the old system of
trying to make all children fit the same
educational pattern is unsatisfactory in
general and particularly unfair to the
bright pupils, who are to be given sps-
cjal attention under a more sensible and
equitable method

FORMER GOVERNOR
WILL GET HIGHEST
DIPLOMATIC POST
In Point of Altitude, at
Least, Bogota Claims
the Title.

Former Gov. James Davidson, Of Wis
consin who is known all over the STATE
as Vim Davidson, is likely to be the
next minister to Bogota, Colombia.
Uncle Ike Stephenson, after a con-
ference with the President the other
day. wired Governor Davidson he could
have the place If he would accept. He
accepted. Now it is expected he will
be named.
The ministership to Bogota is tho
highest diplomatic post in the world,
in point of altitude. 1t takes a month
10 get there, much Of the time on d
river steamer. Out in Wisconsin the
politicians are throwing fits at the idea
Of Vim Davidson going to represeft
this country among the Latin-Ameri-
cans, but he and Uncle Ike" are sat-
isfied over it.
Complications have arisen because Of
the fact another former governor of
Wisconsin wants the place. This is
former Cow Bill Upham. He was
down in Washington not long ago, and
the story spread he was to get diplo-
matte post. He gave 1t out he had
been assured of one. Now the suppor-
ters of Upham are alarmed over the
Davidson story. The spectacle is pr
sented of two former governors OF Wis
consin fighting for a diplomatic job
A complication of the situation is that
Fred Upham, of Chicago, is cousin
OF Bill Upham, and is credited with
being a heavy contributor to the Re-
publican campaign fund in 1908. How
10 placate Cousin Fred is the question.
An effort is being made to do it by
keeping a relative of his in the post
mastership at Ripon, Wis.

cerned is a La Toilette Republican it

SPELLING BOOK IS
NOT SUITABLE FOR
EVERYDAY USAGE
Arbitrary Forms Not Adapt
ed to Changing Re-
quirements.

Another absurdity of the spelling
probists was manifested last week at
the State trial in Indianapolis. boy
from st. Joseph county was counted out
because he spelled traveller" as he
finds 1t in four-fifths of English lLtera-
ture and two-thirds of the dictionaries,
because the Alexander speller made It
traveller"
If the State superintendent of instruc-
tion does not wish to make his spelling
crusade absolutely ridiculous he ought
to prescribe rules that will admit any
established form where reputable au-
thorities differ. All educators know that
practical knowledge of spelling comes
chiefly through familiarity with words
Hence to restrict competitors to a form
found in some spelling books is to put
a handicap on those who are general
readers; because their familiarity with
usual forms may easily confuse them as
to the arbitrary spelling required. In
other words, the Alexander speller
method puts a premium on lack of in
formation.
1t will be recalled that in q county
contest a few weeks ago, a girl was put
down and out for spelling Saviour the
way she had read 1t in her Bible. The
presumption Is that the judges on that
occasion were more familiar with the
Alexander speller than with the Scrip
tures.-South Bend Times.

New England Postal
Clerks Oppose Ruling

BOSTON, April 12.-That a majority
Of the members of the New England
division of the Railway Mail Clerks

Charles H. Quackenbush. of Stamford,
president of the division organization,

Both men had been recently dropped

Red Tape In Japan
Worse Than Our Own

A European resident of Japan. who
lives some distance from Tokyo. was
sent tax bill for farthing (one-quar-

convenient distance to the tax office, he
paid no attention to the bill. but after a
time he received a threatening notice
from the authorities ordering him to pay
1t.
Not being allowed to pay taxes by
post. he was obliged to make a journey
costing several hundred times the
amount of the tax to pay the bill. This
farthing was collected three times a
year, and he attempted to get rid Of the
inconvenience Of making other journeys
by paying the tax for q year in one
sum, but this the authorities would not

FIVE BIG STORES
NOW CONDUCTED
UNDER ONE ROOF
House of Bieber-Kaufman,
in Southeast, Reports
Heavy Trade.

The House of Bieber-Kaufman, COL
S09 Eighth street southeast, made it's
spring bow this week with an entirely
remodeled interior. The store today
represents one of the largest and best
equipped mems departments stores in
Washington. Altogether there are five
big stores under one mammoth roof,
there being a completely equipped de-
partment for mems and boys hats, an
other for mems and boys haberdashery,
a family shoe department, merchant
tailoring department and a mems and
boys clothing department. This latter
department has been equipped with Al
of the very latest dust and wrinkle
cabinet proof show cases.
These cabinets protect the clothing
from the slightest particle of dust. The
garments are suspended in an orderly
arrangement that keeps each one per-
fecty pressed and enables easy selec-
ton.
Saves Time for Patrons.
Hundreds of the very latest styles
are now displayed in these show cases
and their arrangement is such that the
prospective purchaser can see practic-
ally the entire Bieber-Kaufman stock
in about the same amount of time that
it used to take to look at three or four
garments, when piled high upon tables
in the old way.
While located in southeast Washing,
ton, the Bieber-kaufman Company is in
no wise a community store. This
store, with its spacious display windows
always attractively arranged, not only
catches and holds the trade of that Sec
ton, but through the aid of effective
advertising the Bieber-Kaufman store
has developed an extensive patronage
that is drawn from every section OF
the city.
In Response to Advertisements.
THE first warm day this spring." said
Isidore Kaufman, a member of the
firm, produced more sales for our
house from the northwest section of
the city than from all the other sections
combined. The size of our store, with
it's five departments and the immensely
of the stock we carry, together with the
low prices that We are able to offer
because of our inexpensive location, con-
stitutes a magnet that proves attractive
to men in every walk of life, wherever
located.
"Our success as a mems department
store, catering to the men of Washing
ton, is due to two things-the right kind
Of advertising and the right kind of
stock to back up that advertising. We
could not afford to attract people from
distant sections of the city all the way
down to the Navy Yard and then not
make good the claims that We set
forth" .. -. L..s

TWO WOMEN HAD A
CUSSING CONTEST

A marathon cursing contest was
held about 9 o'clock last evening near
North Fourth and D streets, when two
women became angered at each other
and gave vent to their pent up feel
ings.
According to the story as told in
police court, Ida Miller, 4O1 North D
street, was standing in her doorway
when Mary Soper, 315 North Fourth,
passed One hurled vile epithets at
the other and the second reiterated,
it is said, with more vile names. The
trouble had been brewing for some
time, it is said, because both women
had been with a certain young man,
whose name was not disclosed.
Finally Patrolman Yingling, dutious-
ly patrolling his beat, neared the place
and hearing the swearing he placed
Ida Miller under arrest. She pleaded
guilty to the charge of profanity in
police court this morning and the
mayor fined her 81 and costs.

the month of October, just submitted
by city health officer, DR.. r. Henry Da.
Wis. Two cases of this sickness occurr-
ed in Richmond during the past month
although the records for several
months previous had been clear in
that respect. The city health depart
ment is not alarmed over the situation
for there is little possibility OF a seri-
Gus outbreak OF the disease and there
are no prospects OF any new cases
soon.
Diphtheria also started its winter
campaign against perfect health, and
three cases of this disease were recor-
ded. one of them proving fatal. Three
cases Of typhoid fever developed in
October all OF them occurred during
the first week, and the health experts
believe no more cases will develop
here for a while. A single case Of scar
let fever completed the list Of conta-
gious and infectious diseases.

and Is females gives the city slight

general average, but, as there were OIL

increase Of IL. In contrast to Septem.
Der, when the reports evidenced an
increasing number of girls, as compar-
ed with boys, October gives the male
contingent a decided advantage. Six
more males were born than of the op-
posite sex, and two less deaths were
recorded among men and boys than
among women and girls, giving the
men a plurality of eight.
