NORTHERN AR|Z0NA'S
TEACHERS HOLD MEET

dren are uppermost in the teacher s
mind
Cd We should work toward the
time when promotion will be on the
ability Of the pupil rather than on n
number Of pages covered, the ideal
being to promote pupil whenever
he is ready.
r. VI. Cureton, Of the Williams
schools, spoke on "Tact va Flattcry."
One strong point made was that the
teacher who would succeed should
have common sense and exercise IL in
lis dealings with pupil and parent.
The evening was given over to the
social side OF the meeting. The teach.
ers of the Prescott schools gave re.
ception for the visiting teachers. One
aim If this evening was to have each
teacher know every other teacher in
the institute. The early part Of the
evening was taken up with short
program. This was followed by re.
freshments and n dance.

TEACHERS CHANGE
Jews AND METHODS

Inc meeting on Wednesday was pro-
nounced n success by all present.
From the interest shown there is no
doubt but that the teachers believe
that the institute is an important
factor in the school work.
The real work Of the institute began
with lecture by Miss Hicks of the
Flagstaff normal. She discussed the
Function of the Recitation Period. -
This talk was along the nature Of her
previous talks and contained much
sound advice.
Robert g. Smith OF the winslow
schools discussed ''The Recitation. -
His article showed good, clear think.
ing and no teacher could fail to grasp
his message.
Before the Primary section Miss
McNulty, Of the Tempe normal, took
up the subject Of reading in the pri-
mary grades. This talk appealed to
the primary teachers and brought
TO their minds that the child should
be started right in the matter of
reading for much Of the pupils later
work depends on his ability to grasp
the meaning OF English.
The High school section was In
charge Of superintendent W. d.
Baker, Of the Prescott schools. The
main points of his lecture were as
follows:
He opened with the first OF two
Illustrated talks on the Pre-Hellenic
period Of Greek history, In which he
gave brief review Of the archaeo.
logical discoveries ON the islands of
the Aegean sea and the surrounding
mainland coasts and then summed up
the conclusions which have been
drawn from this evidence. In partic.
ular he showed that Knossos on the
island Of Crete was the capital city
Of maritime empire which held
sway over the eastern end Of the
Mediterranean and Aegean seas, pre-
vious TO 1000 Il. c., and that this
civilization, though long forgotten
was the real foundation. OF European
culture The talk was illustrated with
lantern slides, which were kindly
made by Mr.. Hart.
A. ". Chamberlain topic for the
forenoon was "Content Of the Recita.
ton" Among the points made by
him these stand firsti
(a) As the schools develop we
must eliminate from the curriculum
not subjects but portions Of subjects.
All school subjects have their place
but much that ia now taught can be
eliminated and thereby gain time for
emphasizing tho Fundamentals and
those things used in actual life.
(b) All lessons must be carefully
planned The assignments TO the class
must be clear and definite. Pupils
do not know how to study to the best
advantage and as result the home
work is unsatisfactory. To obviate
this difficulty the teacher must study
with the pupils working out problems |
with them.
(c) Throughout the year care
should be exercised in grading pupils |
lest the work should become so mo-
ehanieal that marks instead Of chill.

TWO OVERCOME At
HIGH SCHOOL FIRE
IN EAST ORANGE
Firemen Confused in Respond
ing by Alarm Box in
Building.

A fire which started shortly after
o'clock last night in a closet on the
third floor OF the East Orange High
School, caused damage which none of
he officials say they can positively
estimate correctly until after insurance
adjusters and the school authorities go
through the building and an account
OF book stock Is taken. Fire Chief
Markwith believes the damage will be
between $4,000 and $4,000, and may be
higher.
Meanwhile the school is kept locked
up practically today. no one being al
lowed to enter the structure through
an order issued by Commissioner Titus.
Newspapermen, when they asked to
look over the damage, were refused
admission by William Hageman, in
charge of construction work at the
schools, his orders coming from Mr..
Titus.
There was considerable damage o n
to an exhibit of manual training work
that vas to have been OPP re- to the
public on Monday. and while some of
the school authorities say they will
yet attempt to hold the exhibition on
the date scheduled, it is, thought the
articles which were not burned were
water soake- in many instances and
not fit for display as yet.
Two of the nrenaen were overcome by
smoke while lighting the fire on the
third floor. Captain Harry ELAN and
Lieutenant Charles Mckinley were
handling d line and directing the water
near the exhibit when the heavy smoke
started to roll toward them n they

side on a fire-escape, where they re-
vived quickly, but, together with AS
sistant Chief John Flynn John
Shannon, a fireman, were sick men to-
day.
Police Chief William H. O'Neill and
John Schmidt, ~janitor of the Eastern
School, were two of the first to see
the fire. Chief O'Neill t%elephoned to
fire headquarters, and when the de-
partment arrived Chief Markwith sent
one of his men to ring in an alarm
from the box in front of the school.
The bell rang a few times but did not
sound the box number.
Considerable confusion resulted.
Truck and Chemical Engine No. 2 and
Hose Company No. 3 are supposed to
a call from this box. but the
number did not sound In either fire.
The men of No. 5 happened to
lear the bell stril-s a few times and
they called up police headquarters.
Hearing where the fire was they re-
sponded, but No. 2 got no word.
What caused the fire is a mystery,
but the police say there are no signs
that the blaze was of suspicious origin.
Mr.. Hageman said he had ordered the
light current shut off for the
and found the janitor had obeyed
instructions. 1t is possible hat

WOMAN HOLDS BICYCLIST
UNTIL POLICE ARRIVE.

Leo Hennion, of 48 Miller street, this
city, had an experience last night with
a powerful Polish woman in Kearng
that he is not likely to forget soon.
With another young man, Hennion,
who Is 81 years old, started out yes
terday morning to ride on his bicycle
to Coney Island. They were passing
the little store of Charles Bambinsky.
on the Harrison turnpike. opposite
Schuyler avenue, Kearny, and we're
riding, it is said, on the sidewalk, When,
according to Mrs. Bambinsky, Hen
MONS bicycle knocked down her in
FAINT child playing in front of the door.
She rushed out to catch Hennion, but
he was too swift for her, and all she
could do was to shout after him. But
she bided her time.
Early last night she was again in
front of her store when she saw the
two bicyclists coming back from their
trip to Coney. Running out into the
roadway she stopped Hennion and
fairly dragged him off his wheel. Next
she thrust him into a small room while
she telephoned for the police, but
Hennion burst open the door.
He could not escape, however, for
Mrs. Bambinsky held him with both
hands until Patrolman Peter Vreeland
arrived and relieved her. Hennion was
arraigned before Recorder James F.
Kelly and was fined $40. He lacked the
necessary cash and the police are
holding his bike until he gets the
money.

BLEACHERY SUIT
ORDERED TRIED
FOR FOURTH TIME
Extensive Litigation Over
Stretching of Cotton Goods
to Be Resumed.

E. B. Kursheedt, of 626 Park avenue,
East Orange. whose litigation with the
Standard Bleachery Company, Of Carl
ton Hill, has been drawn out in .nree
extensive lawsuits over the s~.retching
of material, which the East Orange
man claimed should have been given 10
his credit, received word yesterday
afternoon from Chauncey q. Parker,
his counsel, that the Supreme Couf
had allowed him a new trial. The YER
dict for the b%leachery concern was set
aside, the Supreme Court declared, oe-
cause in the trial court Judge Chdrles
Black refused to give Mr.. hursheedt
opportunity to introduce the testimony
OF witnesses showing the goods sent to
the bleachery were stretched In the de-
PENDANTS mills, yet permitted the de-
PENDANT to contradict the allegations
and then excluded the p%laintiif's EVIL
dence on the stretching in rebuttal.
There have been three trials of this
case. The first and third trials resulted
in a verdict for the defense. At he
second trial the jury disagreed, stand
ing eleven to one for the plaintiff.
Action was brought to recover the
value of the stretch of the plaintiffs
u~nbleached cotton goods, Nnich were
sent by e. B. Kurshee1t from VARIOUS
cotton mills to the Standard BleIchery
Company to be finished.
The increase whereof belonged to tie
plaintiff. Shipments were made 10 the
bleachery from January. 1905. uutil
June, 1907. comprising some 3,Ooo.o9O
yards. 1t is claimed. but the contention
OF the plaintiff was that the process of
bleaching caused a stretch iii h sIey
goods amounting from 2 to 4 per cent.
