JOHN HOFFMAN IN
AN ADDRESS TODAY
Deputy State School Super
intendent Speaks to LO-
cal Teachers.

Deputy State Superintendent John ].
Hoffman addressed the teachers at the
institute this morning on New Legis-
lation," an address which he was to
have delivered last Monday morning.
On account of the lateness of the hour
he was forced to make his address
short.
"One of the recent laws enacted by
the Legislature is the one providing for
uniform text books in the high school.
The authorities believe that efficiency
is necessary and hope the uniform text
will be step in this line. Another
one of these laws is the vocational
training law, which requires the teach
ing of agriculture, domestic science,
and manual training in the various
schools. We must awake to the fact
/ that the demands are for practical
education. You teachers will have to
prepare yourselves for these new
! fields" he said. In connection with
the institute work the cooperation and
advice of the patrons should be solic-
tied, according to Mr.. Hoffman. Don't
| only ask the patrons of your schools
| to attend the institute work, but let
them take part in it. See the angle
! from which they view the school work
and let them see your angle. Co-opera-
ton is what we need. The harsh criti-
cism of our school system will cease,
the teachers will understand the atti-
tude of the patrons, and the patrons
will know what to expect of the school
if this is brought about, and all will
result in greater harmony and efficien,

MOTHERS IGNORANT
ABOUT SEX HYGIENE
Albert E. Wiggam, Expert,
Says Question Must Be
Handled Expertly.

"The popular idea that the princi-
pies of sex hygiene should be incul,
Gated by the mothers of the children
of the nation is an erroneous one, -
said Albert Edward Wiggam, the we'll
known Indiana lecturer on eugenics,
this morning
THE average American mother has
little or no knowledge of the physiolo-
gy of the child, knows little more
about its proper care and is absolute
ly incompetent to handle this subject
This question is one of the most
important that confronts modern ped
agogy. 1t Is essential that 1t be
taught, the rapid growth of virulent
diseases permitting no other recourse.

Method for Handling.
eff the subject is handled improper
ly, too much dangerous attention is
turned upon it. The proper method of
instruction would be one in which the
children do not for a long time realize
whittier the course of instruction is
leading until they arrive at last at a
perfect understanding, having al
ready received proper foundation up
on which to base that understanding.
at should in no case be taught by
other than specially trained instruct
ors. The average teacher has no bust
ness attempting it's introduction in
the school room. Above all things no
peculiar emphasis should be laid up
on it.
"The same righteousness should be
used in combating the social evil, else
otherwise prostitution will become the
chief topic of polite conversation"
Mr.. Wiggam is a graduate of Han
over college and resides at North Yer
non, Ind Before he entered the lee
ture field, he was engaged in the
newspaper business in Minneapolis.
He was the only man from this state
to attend the International Congress
of Eugenics and Sex Hygiene, held in
London last summer.

The report of the board of school
trustees, 250-page book, which has
just been issued, gives complete rec
ord of the Richmond schools from 1907
through 1912. 1t gives the financial
report, enrolment and attendance, out
lines the courses of study in all schools
and departments, and contains a his
tory of the city schools by Elsie Mar
shall.
Tables compiled, based on the at
tendance of the five years, show that
approximately 56 per cent of the pu-
pills entering school reach the ffth
grade From this grade to the twelfth
year many drop out, only 20 per cent
entering the fourth year of the high
school. The average enrolment in
the fifth year is 312, while the average
last year of the high school is 49, This
loss, the report states, is much less
than existed in the schools 10 or Is
years ago.
The Reasons Assigned.
AS reasons for this are given the ne

illness, poor health, and inability TO
learn more than the most elementary
things.

CURRENCY IS

Washington, D. c., April 1.--Senator
Owen, chairman of the new senate
currency committee, had q brief talk
with President Wilson today about
currency legislation. Senator Owen
said afterward they discussed no
plans, but layed the foundation for fu-
ture conferences. He expressed the
opinion that while probably several
individual bills would be introduced,
only one measure would be clothed
with administration support.
Attention of the administration is
now centered on the tariff, and Repre-
sentative Underwood, Democrat ma
iority leader, will have second con-
ference with the president on the new
bill. Mr.. Wilson has had the measure
before him week, has studied it care
fully, and heard some protests, prin-
cipally against putting sugar on the
free list
So far as can be learned the presi-
dents mind is still open both on the
sugar question and whether the tariff
should be revised schedule by scheG
ule or in a single bill. The president,
likewise has reached no decision as 10
whether the income tax feature OF the
bill should provide for Il fiat tax ora

RESIGN UNDER CHARGES
PRESIDENT OF THE new YORK BANK NOTE COMPANY ASSERTS THAT
STATE OFFICIAL DEMANDED MONEY OF HIM TO PASS CERTAIN REFORM
LEGISLATION AND THAT He HAS DOCUMENTARY PROOF
entire STORY IS FALSE AND
ABSURD, IS ANSWER OF ACCUSED

Albany. n. V, April 1.-Governor
Sulzer today made a demand upon
State Senator Stephen ]. Stilwell of
New York city, that he resign.
The governor acted on complaint
made by George II. Kendall, presi-
dent of the New York Bank Note
company, alleging that Stillwell de.
lnanded money Of him to pass certain
stock exchange reform legislation.
Senator Stillwell introduced the
stock exchange bills recommended by
Governor Sulzer and is chairman of
the senate codes committee, to which
several of the measures was referred.
Governor Sulzer today made public
the following telegram from Mr.. Ken,
dali: Il offer you evidence that
Stiliwell, the man you sent to draw
my stock exchange bin, charged me
$3.50 for drawing it. He introduced
me to Senate Revision Clerk Lewis,
and asked me to send check for that
amount to him and they divided pro
ceeds of check, offer you evidence
that Stilwell wrote me March 21 to
come to his Office next day and de.
manded $500 each for four senate COM
mitteemen to report the hill out of
committee.
81 said that would do no good un-
less the assembly committee reported
it and he said, he would canvass them
next day and send me a wire so that
would understand how much ii
would cost ! offer you evidence of
the amount, namely $1,500 in his
telegram.
81 declined his proposition. He
called me up next day and told me
