Pract:cal Instruction.

Objections are raised once in a

present day system OF instruction
IN schools, the burden of complaint
being that such instruction is pot
s1mciently practical Not to take a

noted that various innovations ana

march OF civilizat on. Indeed
fathers and grandfathers can point
out numerous Improvements in the
schooling Of today over that OF their
time.
The latest thing to meet the oc-
casional complaint noted may be
cited in the course OF homemaking
for high school girls, which has
been successfully instituted by the
California School OF mechanical

interstate trade in cotton. in violation Of
the Sherman law, appeared in the United
States Circuit Court Yesterday and asked
Judge Martin that his case be set for an
immediate trial. The Indictment has been
pending for ten months.
The application was denied on the ex-
planation of Henry 4. Wise. United States
Attorney. who said the case would be
taken up as soon as possible, but that
cases in which defendants were Jailed had
to come first, and that the cotton mems
case could not possibly be tried until fall.
Colonel Thompson declared that he not
only could prove all the charges false. but
that II was plain from the decision Of the
Supreme Court In the Standard Oil case
that he could not be held accountable
II was indicted for conspiring with men
most Of whom ] never met said Colonel
Thompson. The indictment was based
upon alleged acts which took place while

soon as ] learned Of the indictments and
could move my invalid wife 7 returned TO
New York and against the advice 81 my
lawyers ! insisted upon appearing before
