THIS SCHOOL TEACHES
BOYS TO KNOW HOW

COATED at the corner Of Wick
life and School streets, and
II housed in one of the Oldest
buildings of It's kind in the CITY,
stands Newark's most practical ano
unique school. It occupies the ole
Wickliffe Street School and three
rooms on the southern end of war
rem Street Elementary School wnicr
adjoins it. This is the Boys Indus
trial School, a vocational school foi
boys. where the rudiments of those
trades and arts are taught. that haVe
made Newark famous as the city
that Knows How"
To the uninitiated, 1t might be wei
to explain that a vocational scnoo
is one in which the students arr
given opportunities to secure funda'
mental knowledge Of the most prom
iuent trades. in order that they may
select. when graduated, the one II
they are most interested or for whicf
they are best adapted. No attempt
Is made to teach an entire trade, pui
the sole aim of the school is to take
the dissatisfied, and often trouble
some boy from the environment Of
the grammar school and by carefully
directed efforts, turn him into an
efficient, ambitious and well conduc'
ted youth.
The school has been conducted
from the start by the efficient diree-
tor James z. Dougan, who is aided
by a corps Of six teachers. as follows
Clifford e. Parsil, drawing; Edgar G,
story. woodwork and foundry; c. Os-
valid Frost. metal work and electrical
construction; Frank X. Phillips,
printing and electric wiring; Florence
G. Mccartney. English subjects and
penmanship; Florence v, Petit, ma
thematics and science. Also, Car
Baumann, physical director and Flor
ence e. Huffman, clerk. The success
Of the school is due to the indefati-
gable efforts of the principal and
teaching staff
The students are the ordinary
grammar school boys; they come from
practically every school in the city
although the larger portion of them
come from sections in which the Ger
man element predominates. This Is
probably due to the fact that Ger
many has made greater progress
along industrial educational lines
than any other country; and its
people are better acquainted with thu
workings of this type of school. A

TIME word electricity is derived
from a Greek word. which
: means amber. This term was
invented by man named Gilbert
He used it with reference to the at
traction and repulsion excited by
friction in certain bodies of which
amber may be taken as type. To
the cause of this hidden force the
name electricity was applied, and out
Of the study of this and other mar
vels produced by this hidden force
arose the science of electricity.
The electrical science is divided into
three branches: Electrostatics, which
deals with the electricity at rest;
electrokinetics. which considers the
passage of electricity from place to
place, and INSTRUMENTATION, which
treats of the relation of electricity
TO magnetism.

mans first found out that piece OF

IA EcAUsE we have produced great
X results in our work, 1t does not
= necessarily follow that we have
not produced great results in ath-
letics; in fact, when we think of the
type and size of the school and the
success, we can modestly say that
we have done wonderfully in ath-
letics.
The school has been in existence
for approximately three years and in
that time we have captured nuner-
Gus trophies. In 1912 we sent out a
basketball team, baseball team and
the track. team to compete among
other school teams, thereby testing
their merits in the line of physical
endeavor. The basketball team OF
last season did remarkably well, car
rying off first honors in the Northern
Senior League, after a succession of
victories. The baseball team of last
season started off in an aggressive
manner, winning the first Ave games
in fine style, but in the ensuing
game, after a close score, were de-
feated That defeat seemed to dis
hearten the boys and they lost all
relinquished their chances for the
prize. The track team did not
amount to anything. owing to the
fact that most Of the boys were in
different.
This season we have done better
than last season.
We again came of with flying col
ors with our basketball team, easily
outdoing our opponents. and coming
home with a clean slate; this time
not only carrying off the Northern
Senior championship, but also the
city championship. This put us on
a plane of good basketball producers
and aroused for us considerable rec
ognition by all. We are new on a
fair way to winning the baseball
championship, defeating most of the
hardest teams, but in some way or
other fortune opposed US and, as
last season, after warm game
were beaten. However, we won't
despair and will exert all efforts to
be sure that it does not occur again.
As drowning men catch at straws,
we shall seize all the opportunities
still left for winning the pennant
From all appearances we have
plenty of promising material for the
annual field day. Under Mr.. ParsiPs
efficient management we expect that
the boys will bring back a copious
quantity of medals, not mentioning the
cups. Judging from present indica-

tions we predift that they will full
iii our anticipations. Mr.. Dougan
has had the basketball team under
his jurisdiction, and Mr.. Parsil, the
drawing instructor, has the honor Of
training and coaching the track
teams.
Shawger, of the A class, has
lately distinguished himself as the
best all around athlete in the school.
During the class competitions Shaw
ger gained more points for his class
than any other boy in the school for
his respective class During the
competitions he finished first In the
following: Running high jump. run
ring broad jump and the running
hop, step and jump. For second
honors he finished for the standing
broad jump and the shot put. Not
only is Shawger good in these events
but is also considered one of the best
runners in the school. Shawger will
| be one of those to compose the relay
team which will represent the school
at the annual field day.
The entries that were sent into MIR.
Parsil for field day have already
reached the ninety mark: we still hope
to bring the number up to at least
125. This amount seems to you very
small, but owing to the fact that
there are only 140 boys in the school
ninety entries already seem quite a
lot for US.

BEER SUBSTITUTE
Water So Bad in Chapman That
Amber Fluid Is Used.
Jury in Crawford County Court
Acquits Alleged BOOtleggers.

Pittsburg, Kan, July 30-The
water is so bad in Chapman, a mining
camp, that beer is used in it's place
and the people are SO generous that
they give the substitute away. A sec
onG Mulberry man has developed a
thirst that can only be quenched by
beer by the car loads. A Girard man
who was accused of selling spiked
cider, got free on the theory that one
mans word is as good as anothers
These are facts and alleged facts
brought out in Crawford county courts
this week.
Jack Gilmour of Chapman was tried
yesterday at Girard for violating the
prohibitory law. He stated that in the
interest of health it was necessary to
drink beer instead of water. He said
he gave beer away to she thirsty. Gill
mour said he boughtsa preparation and
mixed water with it and had beer be-
fore he knew it. He said he used
Chapman water in the mixture.
The jury decided to encourage his
humanitarian impulses and acquitted
him.
Frank Starcich of Mulberry is ac-
cused by Prosecutor Keller of getting
beer in carload lots-more than he
personally could consume.
George Coulter of Girard was al
legged to have sold "cider plus but he
said he didn't, and only one witness
said he did so he went free.

dOrSement of Wilson.

Is William Allen White working in
accord with Col. Roosevelt in the Pro-
greSsive movement?
A remark made by Col. Roosevelt to
]. D. NJ. Hamilton of Topeka. would
indicate that Mr.. White at least does
not consult the colonel in the prepara-
ton of his publicity matter used semi
occasionally for the delectation of the
Bull Moose party.
Mr. Hamilton journeyed to Andover,
Mass. a few days ago to attend the
commencement exercises at Phillips
college. from which his son, John, grad
uated this year. Archie Roosevelt is a
student in the same school and Col.
Roosevelt also went to Andover for the
commencement. Mr.. Hamilton and the
colonel met at a banquet. They talked
about Kansas affairs and Mr.. Roosevelt
inquired:
DO you ever see anything of my
friend, William Allen White?"
Il don't see much of him. Mr.
Hamilton replied, but L read his stuff,
as you journalists put it,"
What is he writing about in a poll

The last piece L saw from his pen,
Mr.. Hamilton said, was a suggestion
that the Progressives indorse Woodrow
Wilson for reelection to the presi-
dency''
"Ah,'' exclaimed the colonel, TN
have to write William Allen about
that"
The conversation was interrupted at
that juncture, and Mr.. Hamilton had
no further opportunity to engage the
colonel in conversation. Mr.. Hamilton
does not attempt to translate the
colonels remark about writing to Mr.
White. but he gathered from the ex-
presidents tone that he was not entire
ly pleased with Whites boost for Will
son.
Mr.. Hamilton relates another inter
esting bit of converse ton with the
colonel Immediately after he was intro
duced to him. Mr.. Hamilton incident

AT LAND OPENING
Sand Hills of Hamilton Co.
Open to Settlement August 4.
VIII Run for Claims as in Cher
Okee Opening--NO Register.

Dodge City, Kan. July 3O-Home-
seekers are arriving in Dodge City in
prepara ton for the opening on August
of the 10000 acres of government
reserve in Hamilton county. The land
office here has plats showing all the
tracts in the reservation, and the men
who expect to make the run next week
are locating as well as they can from
the map the land they believe will be
most desirable.
A party of Oklahomans arrived Tues
day to consult with the land office
officials. They are riding the horses
they expect to make the run with Tues
day. A number of homeseekers have
been here during the last week in the
moving wagons. Mail inquiries
about the land have been numerous
since the announcement from the de-
partment at Washington that a part of
the tract set aside six years ago for
forestratiOn was to be abandoned to
settlement. So far the commissioner
of the general land office at Washing
ton mas made no ruling to the land
office here about the time for starting
the run.
Ihe o11c1als say the run in Oklahoma
a number OF years ago was made at q
t11 CLOCK IN IN, the morning thus giving the
settlers all day to reach their selections
Because this tract to be opened is small
OFFICIALS do not know what ARRANGEMENTS
Will be made. but it is supposed that all
settlers Will have to start from the border
of the reservation at the signal and the
riders of the fastest horses will have
their choice of the land
No arrangements have been made
through the office here TO keep order at
the opening The nearest company of
militia is at Garden City, and the soldiers
may be sent to the reservation to keep
peace unless the government sends men
out for that purpose.
The officials say arrangements will be
made to keep "sooners" out of the reser-
walton and give the homeseekers equal
opportunity at the best land. There is to
be no drawing for the land; the entire
tract opened will be subject to settle
ment any time after the signal is given
Land men expect every claim to be taken
the first day. 1t will not be necessary
to register before making entry. The land
is subject to settlement under the three
year homestead act and the filing fee is
SIS. The land which will be subject to
entry is all upland prairie, more or less
rolling, and lies in the sand hills south of
the Arkansas river.
The land may be inspected at any time
prior to August 4. a number of prospec-
tive settlers who came to the land office
said they expected to ride over the entire
tract before opening day and select good
claims

Weather Man Looks for Relief
From the Heat.
He Predicts Showers and Cool
er for Tonight.
NEEDLE CLIMBED TO 90
At $3.50 This Morning This
Mark Was Reached.
This July Ranks With Worst
on Bureau Records.

Kansas is still in the grip of a heat
wave that is threatening the corn crop.
Trying to cool off has been business
with many people the last two or three
days. But cheer up! The weather
man gives the assurance that cooler
atmospheric conditions will prevail
Thursday, and he even goes so far as
to suggest the posi- bility of showers.
Maximum temperatures at govern
ment stations Tuesday ranged from "a
degrees at Dodge City to 104 degrees
at Emporia, Hanover, Manhattan ana
Sedan. This morning at $3.50 o'clock
the government thermometer at To-
peka registered 80 degrees the same as
Tuesday at the same hour. The maxi
mum temperature at Topeka IueSddy
was 80 degrees.
When the report for the month OF
July is issued by the weather bureau
at Topeka it will be shown that this
month has been both the second dr1-
est and the second hottest July on
hotter and July of 1887 was dryer.
But said sunny" Flora, the local
observer today, the second hottest ana
the second driest July is not favor
able symptom
The average temperature this month
has been 50 degrees; in 1901 it was 81
degrees That was in the summer
when for 26 consecutive Gays the mer-
curry reached the 100 degrees mark.
The disappearance of the Kaw is a
gradual process. Day by DAY the river
is fading away. The stage today was
"a feet, a drop of one-tenth of foot
in the last "a hours.
There has been no rain in Kansas in
the last "a hours. The forecast calls
for showers tonight or Thursday with
lower temperature. Following are the
maximum temperatures at the govern
rnant stations for Tuesday.
