true when a pupil without any pre-.
vious training on that point is asked
to so interpret his geographical knowl-
edge as to show cause for interna-
tional disagreements. Such things as
these the Bryan children must do on
examination.
These are only few illustrations.
but they are well to bear in mind now
that the grades will appear soon.
But the book goes on to say: "As it
is, we sometimes have the spectacle
of pupil with consciousness like
parrot receiving diplomas of prof.
cheney from our schools and even col
leges."
Now, that is just the thing the
Bryan schools stand against-the
memorizing of things the pupil does
not understand. Those who care for
that kind of stuff have to go elsewhere
for it, as the Bryan schools keep none
of it on hand.
Again the same author says: The
vice of examining memory instead of
testing judgment has crept even into
the classroom, where our teaching is
too much like an oral quiz on last
nights study than the development of
ideas on the subject treated by the
text"
You know there are even yet some
people who do not seem to realize that
the teacher develops ideas on the sub
ject, hence they think the interpreta-
ton of the lesson by the teacher of
no Importance They want their chill
dren to memorize what the book says.
From a reading of the quotation it is
evident that those who know best
think otherwise.
Speaking of the Interpretation of the
thought or the development of ideas
in the classroom by the teacher re-
minds us that We have had trouble OF
that kind by a few pupils this year.
They did not follow the development
Of the ideas, but seemed willing to
rely on a hasty cram at examination
line. The result will be disappointing
because they can not get the develop
nent feature the author speaks of
rom a book, and the grades intended
o test judgment-not memory alone
Is the book has shown-will result in
disappointment Most of these pupils
ire in one grade, and the condition is !
caused very largely by premature
interest in sociology. We do not give
large amount of home work, but
hose few pupils do not prepare it

THE CITY SCHOOLS


Examinations are finished ant
school work will run as usual til
Thursday afternoon, December 81. Al
that time school will be adjourned til
Tuesday, January 2, 1912.
The third grade had an exercise in
yolving the use of English, pure and
simple. The problem of securing good
work in that subject was thus tested
in plain, practical manner. The
Horace Mann School, which is con-
nected With Columbia University, has
one of the finest plans for such work
known to the teaching fraternity.
In one of the newest and best books
on teaching occurs the following Ian
guage: can examination should test
the judgment of pupils as well as their
memory. The half, at least, of every
examination should test what the
pupil can do" The writer of the above
quotation is one of the instructors in
great university for the training Of
teachers to teach properly Read that
and then you will see why the Bryan
city schools do not have a rehash of
the language of the books, as is the
case in some schools even at this late
day. In no school will pupils who de-
pend upon memory without thought
get lower grades than in the city
schools of Bryan.
Well yes we could give memory
tests as the old-time schools did ana
as some schools do yet, and could
grind out grades for every pupil who
would sit down and memorize a string
of things he did not understand, but
all the best schools are beyond that
stage
Any pupil can get grades in schools
of that kind, but it takes pupils who
work and who think to get grades in
our schools.
It Is not the purpose of the Bryan
school to fool the people by memory
tests for children who do not think,
but to give them the plain, unvarn-
ished facts, be they good or bad. Take
the case of a sixth grade geography
class. 1t would be an easy matter to
have them spin out string of men,
orized book matter about South Amer
lea and Europe, but when asked to
give the effect of the complexion oI
the Panama canal on commerce and
manufactures that would require the
application of knowledge and would
be quite different. The same thing is

ALG0NA MAN ENDORSES
TWO WORTHLESS CHECKS

MASON CITY, Ia, oct. 5.-(Special J.
News reaches this city to the effect that
Liveryman A. L. Cheney was nicely
so prettily that the cheerful liveryman
believes that he almost got his moneys
worth out of it. A fellow by the name
of Reed about two weeks ago put in
his appearance at AlgonA, and repre-
sented that he was a sign poster for the
American Tobacco company, and he
carried stationery that might indicate
that he was thus connected. He seemed
to be thoroughly versed in the business
and know just what to do. He closed
contracts with the lumbermen for the
lumber he would need and then went
ovef the town engaging vacant lots upon
which to erect his signs. He contracted
but paid nothing. After going through
the necessary form to establish his
credit he then went to pay his livery
bill to Mr.. Cheney. He presented what
he said was salary check for SIPS which
needed an endorsement before he could
get 1t cashed. Mr.. Cheney endorsed IL
and he got 1t cashed. In the afternoon
Mr.. Reed appeared again with a salary
check of $40 and this Mr.. Cheney signed
and this was cashed. That night Reed
disappeared and has not been heard OF
since. The salary checks turned out to
be obligations Cheney had to pay and
he has paid them like a man. The
detective associations have been noti-
fled and 1t is believed that Reed will
soon be in the custody of officers.

EXCITING LEGAL CONTEST
FOR HOMESTEAD IN CUSTER

BROKEN BOW, Neb., Oct. 5.-(Special)
An exciting contest has just closed in
the land office here, in which Frank
Williams disputes the claim of Miss Mar
garet Schoonmaker, residing near Whit
man. Williams, who is living on the
nearby claim of Miss Carrie Drake, a
niece of Miss Schoonmaker, charged that
his opponent did not live on her section
subsequent to its location in 1904 until
the year 1908 and had therefore forfeited
her right of entry. Miss Drake, one of
the williams witnesses, and, as before
stated, niece of Miss Schoonmaker, took
the stand and preceded to roast the land
office until called down by Williams at
torney, who threatened to withdraw from
the case unless she subsided. Seventeen
witnesses accompanied the contestants
TO Broken Bow, and it took two days to
gather in all of the evidence. The case
has gone to the Department Of the Inter-
Tor at Washington.
Over one hundred and fifty hunting IL
censes have been issued from the county
clerks office since the beginning of the
season. Some scattering ones went to
outsiders, but the bulk of them was taken
out in the county, Galloway and vicinity
coming in for the biggest share. This in
dicates that Custer is well patrolled by
game wardens and the people realize
the necessity of taking out permits.
District court convened today with
Judge Bruno Hostetler presiding. Only
equity cases will be tried this week, the
jury term having gone over until Oc-
tober 13.
