HELP TARDY PUPILS
School Officials Have Plans for
Making Promotions.
MAY MEAN ENTIRE CHANGE
Suggested That Deficient Ones Be
: Given Special Aid by Teacher
for That Purpose.

Plans which may eventually end in a
sweeping revision of the methods of pro-
motion in the local public schools. in
volving special instruction for scholars
deficient in some study, slightly de-
ficient in all subjects. through unavoid-
able absence, are being considered by the
officials of the schools.
Owing to the absence of Supt. Davidson
the school chiefs refused to vouch any
official opinions on the matter, although
willing TO express their personal opin-
ions of the proposed changes. The ques-
ton of the promotions of scholars, which
the educators are unanimous in declar-
ing to be one of the greatest educational
problems of the day, was brought up by
la recommendation made by Principal
Frank C.. Daniel of the Mckinley High
School, that number of frst-year stu
dents at his school should be denoted to
the eighth grade.
Until the return of DR.. Davidson, a
week or ten days hence, no action will be
taken regarding the high school princ-
pals recommendation. This is the first
instance in long time that a consdera-
BILE number of pupils have been recon-
mended for demotion, previous cases be-
ing usually isolated instances. The num-
Der of pupils recommended for demotion,
Asst Supt. Ernest L.. ThurSton who is
acting superintendent, refused to make
public.
Transition Too Violent
The educators united in declaring that
the transition from the eighth grade to
the first year high school is now entirely
too violent for the children. 1t Is pointed
out that boys and girls in the eighth
grade are in direct contact with their
teachers during study as well as recita-
ton hours and act comparatively little
on their own responsibilities. When
they enter the high school, however, it
is urged, they are thrown almost
entirely on their own responsibilities and
have numerous teachers. Also they be-
gin in the high school to specialize in
their courses.
In order to make this sudden transition
easy, the officials say they would like to
have teacher in each high school give
special aid to those pupils who are back
ward IN their studies. "A plan is also pro-
posed by which an added teacher will be
provided in the grade schools. This
teacher, to be known as floating or a
supplementary" teacher, will have under
her all pupils who have just returned to
school after an absence.

Charges Made Against
Him Are Untrue.

Dean c. Worcester, secretary of the
interior department of the Philip
pines, wishes the nti-Imperialist
League, to investigate the charges

to the members of the league, de-
clares that the allegations against
him and other officials in the Philip
pines, having charge of the public
lands there, are untrue. The letter,
which was made public today, deals
especially with the testimony adduced
before the House Committee on Insu-
lar Affairs at recent hearings.
Mr.. Worcester's letter contains
parallel arrangements of the charges
made against him and of the replies

tionally to incorrect evidence the

Realizing that great diplomacy viii

sary of italian unity, President Taft
has had several conferences with Count

Dassador, with regard to picking a

a final decision will be reached for

Owing to the differences between the
Holy See and the Italian Eovernmen,
il Will not be possible to send a Roman
Catholic as representative, and the
Roosevelt and Fairbanks incidents at
the Vatican preclude the sending of
either of these men. or any one con.
