CENTRAL WEST DEMANDS

The normal school in America has
been an evolution. Its beginning in
the suburbs OF Boston was for tho
purpose of preparing persons to teach
who had already received classical edu-
cation to a greater or less degree IN
the excellent academies and colleges.
New England was. at that time, we'll
Supplied with institutions OF learning
that had done hiSh-srade work IN lam
guages and mathematics for century
or longer.
The work OF the normal school, then
and there. was to study the child, TO
study mind activities. to study the sub
iects to be taught in the elementary
public schools. and to make theory
and practice conform 10 the then best
known principles. The normal schools
Of New England to-day have followed
pretty closely the general purposes OF
normal training developed in the time
Of Horace Mann.
Demands Of Development.

cation has multiplied the demands on
the teacher and the community from

der Company, No. l, to the Exempts.
The cabinet was given some time ago,
but a special spread was gotten up at
this time to the members of the hooks
and the return of the delegates.
The affair and menu was one of the
best seen there in some time and was
gotten up under the direction of John

old vets who have the reputation of
fixing up a feed of this kind.
The silver trumpet which was left
over from the last affair was awarded

MAYOR THINKS
SUM TOO HIGH
Agree With Mr.. Voorhees,
ON School Money.

Mayor Albert Bollschweiler, who
Is a member of the Board of School
Estimate, stated today that he was
opposed TO granting suclY a large in
crease in the appropriation for main
tenance of our schools, thus taking
a similar stand as did Alderman-at-
Large William D. Voorhees, when
interviewed yesterday on the sub
ject.
While the mayor favors good
schools, conducted In the proper
manner, he figures there are many
other ways for the city to spend
$4,000, the increase asked this year
over the appropriation in 1910. The
total amount asked is ~S162,300.
Mayor Bo~llschweiler spoke in loud
praise of Mr.. voorhees, knowledge
Of the city's. finances and is of the
opinion that the alderman-at-large Is
fully aware of the cost of maintain
ing the schools and what increase is
justified by the additions proposed
or in course of construction.

Diaz viii Resign.

City Of Mexico, May 1S-Presidenr
Diaz and Vice President Corral viii
resign before June 1 and Minister De
Ia Barra VIII become president ad in
term, according to official announces
ment.
Francisco I. Madero, Jr., the revolu-
tionary leader, viii be called TO ths
capital to act as De la Barra's chief
adviser and to serve as the greatest
guarantee possible that every pledge
made by the government to end the
revolution will be carried out. 1t VIII
be virtually q joint presidency pend
ing the calling of q new election.
The cabinet viii be recognized. The
ministeT Of war viii be named by De
la Barra. The foreign Office viii be
in charge of a subsecretary named by
De la Barra. Other cabinet members
will be chosen by De la Barra and
Madero jointly.
A new election will be called within
six months, and political amnesty VIII
be recommended to the chamber Of
deputies.
The foregoing are the conditions on
which President Diaz viii compromise
with the rebels. Virtually they are
admitted in high quarters to be a coni-
plete surrender to the rev~olutionists-
The resignation of Diaz and the
Joint regency" Of De Ia Barra and
Madero are said to constitute a guar
antee so complete that the original in
surrecto demand for fourteen govern
ere nc longer need be considered.
The governments conditions were
~telegraphed to Judge CarbajaI, with
instructions to submit them to General
Madero. They were accepted appar-
emily as a five day armist1ce, covering
all Mexico, and was agreed orn Jta-
rez.
The n condition over which a quib~
bic may occur is said 10 be that re-
garding the selection OF the minister
Of war. The selection Is left entirely
to De Ia Barra. He must be, accord
ing to the agreement of the ministers
and the president, "a general who has
the good will and respect of the
army" Many people see in this an In
tmadOu that General Bernardo Reyes
will be the choice. Madero has ex-
pressed open opposition to Reyes.

S22 FOR
% CENT CHECK
South River Saloonkeepsr
Easily Fooled Man Held.

John Farkus, forty-eight years
old, of S37 Sayer avenue, a clay
worker, succeeded in cashing q check
for twenty-five cents for s22 with
Frank Batsa, a saloon keeper of
South River, and now Batsa has had
Farkus arrested, but the man re-
fuses the return of the money. He
says Batsa gave ii TO him voluntarily
and that it is his fault if he lost it.
Farkus is now locked up in police
headquarters following a hearing by
Recorder Kehoe with the alternate
Of paying the money back or fur
nishing $500 bonds to await the ac-
I ton of the grand jury.
Ferkus has been working recently
in a local clay bank. He had Occa-
sion not long ago, however, to put in
an hour or so at the Great Eastern
| Clay Company in South River. He
was paid in a check on the National
Bank Of New Jersey, of New Bruins
wick, in the sum of twenty-five cents.
He took the check to Batsa's sa-
loon and got it cashed, Batsa him
self giving him $22 for the draft.
The man departed with the money
and Batsa later found out that he
had made a mistake. The local pO-
lice were informed of the affair and
Detective Sergeant Long located
Farkus and put him under arrest.
The man denied at the hearing last
night that he had got 1922. He said
that all that he received was the
twenty-five cents which the check
called for. He admitted to the po-
lice later, however, that he received
S22.
Written plainly on the check was
the amount for which It was intend
ed, twenty-five cents" The numer-
ais "22" were written against the
dollar sign over a line, with 100 be-
meath.
