TT is seldom we have attempted
to call public attention to matter.
which must of necessity 60 far tC
make up an effective teacher
in the public schools, in the way
of advice, for we realize that oui
own possibilities in that direction
are Of very limited scope but, a
book which reached our desk en-.
titled The Teacher and the
School, - and which we have read
with great interest, has so impressed
its power of presenting real con-
ditiOns, and suggesting in a nice
way how to correct the practices
which have with far too many teach
ers grown to be a second nature that
we feel it incumbent upon us to
call the attention of teachers, and
those interested in public schools
to this particular book, and sug-
gest that it be read carefully and
and with the purpose of taking
advantage of the real purpose Of its
publication which is to make the
teacher realize the possibility and
responsibility for better public
schools. The book is published
by Charles Scribners Sons, of New
York, and it was from the pen of
Chauncy P. Colgrove, A. NJ, who
is atthe head of the Teacher College
at Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The faults
Of the graded system of schools are
the result OF ignorant teachers and |
incompetent or lazy supervision. |
and it is the duty Of the teacher
or superintendent to discover the
pupils who do not fit the class or
grade, and to provide some remedy
that shall be effective, is one of the
under the head of grad
ing methods. The book would
excellent reading forall school
teachers, and the Stale Board of
Education could well recommend
that it be included in the reading
requirements, by teachers.

Deputy Attorney Generals of Kent
and Sussex Counties to convict Re-
publicans Of offenses against the
election laws has the mark ofpers-

OF the witnesses for the State in his
testimony under cross-questioning
by ex-Judge Daniel Hastings, ad-

STANDARD OIL TRUST
MUST Be DISSOLVED
GIVEN SIX MONTHS TO COMPLY
WITH SHERMAN LAW.
Court Rules That Sherman Law Has
Been Violated by Monster Oil Cor.
poratiop,

Washington.-On Monday the Stand
Ard Oil Company of New Jersey and its
nineteen subsidiary corporations were
decided by the supreme court of the
United States to be a conspiracy and
combination in restraint of trade. 1t
also was held to be monopolizing inter-
state commerce in violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law. The dissolution Of
the combination was ordered to take
place within six months.
Thus ended the tremendous struggle
on the part of the government to put
down, by authority of law, a combina-
ton which it claimed was a menance to
the industrial and economic advancement
of the entire country.
At the same time the court interpret
ed the Sherman antitrust law so as to
limit its application to acts "of undue"
restraint of trade and not every" re-
straint of trade.
Ever since the decree in this case in
cult court for the Eastern district Of
Missouri, was announced, the hope has
been expressed by the business world
that the law would be modified so as not
to interfere with what was designated
as honest business. That section Of
the opinion calling for the law is re-
garded in many quarters as an answer to
the prayers of the business world"
The opinion of the court was an
nounced by Chief Justice White. In
printed form it contained more than
10000 words.
Before him sat a distinguished audi
ence of the most famous men of the
country. Senators and representatives
left their respective chambers in the
capitol to listen to the epoch-making de.
cision of the court. Most eager to hear
were Attorney General Wickersham and
Frank B. Kellog, special counsel of the
government, who had conducted the case
against the Standard Oil Co.
BY far the greater portion of the opin.
ion Of the chief justice was devoted to
the justification of the court in re-
quiring that the true reason" be APP
piled to restraints of trade before they
were held to be violations of the Sher-
man antitrust law. The court found
this justification in the common law of
the f~orefathers and the general law of
the country at the time the Sherman
antitrust law was passed.

Ell Paso, Tex.-Gen. Navarro surren.

slice of the desert for a seat of govern

caused attack upon the town.
Francisco 1. Madero, provisional presi-

There was splendid dash and deter
mination in the way of taking the last
strongholds of the federals.
Early morning, when the final at
tack began, the rebels had everything
in Juarez but the Quartet, the city hall
various other buildings of military ad
vantage near the municipal center, and
the great cathedral of sour Lady oil
Guadaloupe," which looked down from
it's 800 years of pious and troubloui
memories upon former worshipers ready
to slay each other. 1t was at this noble
structure that the battle was the fiercest
But at noon eve the inspiration Of
Our Lady of Guadalupe ceased to be al

a last defiant volley, followed with sun
dry yells denoting fear, evacuated the
cathedral. They rushed to the Quartet
a thick-walled quadrangle, and here they
were all massed under the personal com
mand of Gen. Juan J.. Navarro, com
mandant of Juarez.
By 1 o'clock in the afternoon most Of
the rebels had found their way to tht
Quartet by al instinct of battle which
drew them through the crooked streets
of the town from sundry and widely
separated points, and for the next
twenty-five minutes the fire of the rebels
was directed against the adobe walft
of the Quartet. Itdid not take long fol

SECRETARY OF WAR
QUITS The CABINET
PRESSING PRIVATE BUSINESS IS
GIVEN AS THE REASON.
Will Not Engage in Practice of Law, But
Will Devote His Attention to Pri.
vate Affairs.

MISUNDERSTANDING of Wal Jacob
McGavock Dickinson of Tennessee, the
Democratic member of President Taft's
cabinet, has resigned. Henry l.. Stimson,
OF New York, recently the defeated Re-
publican candidate for governor of that
state, has been given the war portfolio.
This announcement was made from the
White House Friday.
In the letters exchanged between the
president and Mr.. Dickinson, no reason
other than that of pressing private af-
fairs is given for the secretary's retire.
ment.
Mr.. Dickinson will 60 to his Tennessee
home immediately upon the qualification
of his successor. He expects to devote
his attention to business. He was en-
gagged in the practice Of law when Pres
ident Taft appointed him secretary OF
war in March, 1909.
He is the second member of Mr.. Taft's
cabinet to retire to private life, Secre
tary of the Interior Ballinger having sew.
cred his connection with the presidents
official family only a few months ago.
Unof6ciafly Washington discussed the
resignation of the secretary of war, and
there were those who found other rea.
sons than that given in his letter.
Mr.. Dickinson is a Democrat. His pres
ence in the cabinet of a Republican presi
dent has not been looked upon with favor
by some of Mr.. Taft's political advisers
who were of the opinion that the office o.
secretary of war should be held by some
one of the presidents own party, and
who also pointed out that Mr.. Dickinson
might prove a source of embarrassment
when the 1912 presidential campaign be
gins. Naturally, Mr.. Dickinson also
found that the discussion in the cabinet
of party measures often a personal EN-
barrassment.
There were others who thought Mr.
Dickson had incurred some criticisms
by his conduct of the war office. A.
was pointed out recently, there have beer
reports of friction over the Mexican sit
uation between the state department ant
the war department.
