A Public School Teacher Who Gives
Credits for Home Work.

In the November Woman's Home Com
panion appear accounts of several pub
lie schools in the United States where
great progress is being made. One OF
the stories told is the story of Wis
consin public school teacher who gives
his pupils school credits for home work.
Following is an account OF this teacher
and his plan:
"There is a country school in Mani
towoc county, Wisconsin, where the
teacher, H. +. Antholz, has introduced
thoroughly original and practical
course in manual training and personal
responsibility. Mr.. Antholz gives school
credits for home work. That is, the
children do chores at home and get cred
it for them at school, Each child has
small memorandum book in which he
writes list OF the home duties he per-
forms, between 4 p. m. and 3 a. M, and
the number Of credit points received for
each. This list, which is kept 'on hon
or includes sweeping, making bed,
preparing meal, baking a cake, bak-
ing bread, scrubbing the floor, washing
and wiping dishes, milking, feeding
horses, cleaning the barn, cleaning and
currying horses, splitting and carrying
wood, sleeping with open window, clean
ing the teeth, coming home with feet
dry in wet weather.
"At the end of each month the names
of the three pupils who have the best
records, with number of points each re-
ceived. are published in the local papers
AT the end of the year the three pupils
holding the highest number of credits
in each class are awarded prizes by the
school board.
'sThis scheme proved successful from
the beginning. Nearly all of the pupils
entered the contest at once and the rest
entered little later. Not one dropped
out.
Gone farmer told Mr.. Antholz: Be
fore Won started the credit system |
couldn't get my boy out of bed in the
to do any chores. Since then
he is in the barn before | am More

Pixies Peak Not Sinking.

Denver dispatches stating that recent
government surveys show that Pixies
Peak has sunk 80 feet in the last three
years are easily explained. Somebody
has simply been comparing the exact al
titude of the mountain. recently deter
mined by the United States, Geological
Survey as l4,l09 feet, with old railroad
or barometer figures of elevation. As a
matter Of fact, to have come within 40
feet of the actual elevation shows good
job of surveying for the early days when
Indians We're plentiful and instruments
poor, for, after all, there is no royal road
of determining the altitude of any point.
1t has to be done to-day Just as it had
100 or 1000 years ago, by series of
sights from the ocean shore. To obtain
the elevation of Pixies Peak means that
surveyors have had to run levels all the
way from the Atlantic oceon, or the Pa
eific, to the top of the mountain. Thous-
ands of sights had to be made. OF
course, when the geological survey about
five years ago established the exact ele-
walton of Pixies Peak the engineers did
not start at the sea level; they took the
nearest point to the peak which had been
previously determined by former level
surveys. When the summit of the peak
was reached bronze tablet with the
following inscription was cemented into
the rock:

Fuller's Earth.

A report on fullers earth, by Jeffer-
son Middleton Of the United States geo.
logical survey, has been published as an
advance chapter from mineral resources
for 1912, and copies will be sent to in
terested persons free, on application to
the director of the survey at Washing
ton. d. C. The value of the fuller's
earth mined in 1912 in the United States
was S305,522 and Florida was the prin-
cipal producer.
The principal use of fuller's earth in
this country is in the bleaching, clarity
ing, or filtering of fats, greases, and oils.
The common practice with mineral oils
is 10 dry the earth carefully after it has
been ground from 80 to go mesh and
run into long cylinders, through which
the crude, black mineral oils are allowed
to percolate slowly. As a result the oil
that first comes out is perfectly water
white and much thinner than that which
follows The oil is allowed to continue
percolating through the earth until the
color reaches a certain maximum shade.
With the vegetable oils the process is
radically different. The oil is heated
beyond the boiling point of water in
large tanks, from 5 to 10 per cent of its
weight of fuller's earth is then added
and the mixture is vigorously stirred
and then filtered off through bag filters
The coloring matter remains with the
earth, the filtered oil being of pale
straw color, provided the operation has
been conducted with sufficient care.

INSISTS ON GUILT.
Prosecuting Attorney Argues That Bell
ISIS Killed Boy.

Kiey, Russia, Nov. THE name OF
Mendel Beiliss, the man standing trial
for the alleged murder of the Christian
boy, Andrew Yushinsky, in March, 1911,
was barely mentioned in the speech of
counsel for the prosecution yesterday.
The same thing was remarked when
counsel made his opening speech on the
indictment. Toward the end of his adj
dress to the jury, however, prosecuting
counsel expressed his conviction that
Beiliss was guilty and asserted that the
accused had been seen dragging Yush-
insky toward the brick furnaces where
the former was employed.
""Mendel Beiliss possibly was an ex-
eellent father and virtuous man who
lived modestly and certainly religious
ly," said counsel, but does this preclude
the possibility of the preparation by
him of a crime, which, from his stand
point, was not a crime? He regards
himself as an expiatory victim for his
eo-religionists"
Counsel for the prosecution declared
that the clay found on young Yushin-
sky's clothing resembled thai near the
stable where, the prosecution believes,
the murder was committed, and where
Mrs. Beiliss went to live after the ar
rest of her husband

Washington, Nov THE failure OF

of considering the rehabilitation OF the

inevitable struggle for control. Many
Old Guard leaders have come to the con-
clusion it would be bad politics to balk
the demands of Senators Cummins, Craw-
ford, Sherman, and other progressive Re-
publicans for a convention. But it does
not follow that Boss Barnes and other
standpatters are going to step quietly
down and let progressive Republicans
run things. On the contrary, the Old
Guard will do its utmost to shape the
course of the convention and TO keep
control of the organization.
The convention probably will be held
late in the winter or early in the spring.
Chicago is the probable meeting place.
"That viii be the real. crisis in the life
of the Republican party" declared pro-
gressive Republican senator yesterday.
"If the Old Guard succeeds in controlling
the convention and refuses to make such
changes in the rules as will be satisfac-
tory to the progressive wing of the party
that will be the end of the Republican
party"
