TWO GRADES IN FAVOR.
Placed Under One Teacher, DR..
Davidson Says It Has Advantages.

I'VE find from experience that the sys-
tenn of teaching two grades of pupils
under one teacher has many advantages
over the single-grade system.
Such was the declaration of DIR. William
NJ. Davidson, superintendent OF public
schools before the subcommittee OF the
committee on public schools of the Board
of Trade yesterday afternoon. Dr.
Davidson said that although AT first
glance il may appear a fault. the fact
that the pupils of the lower grade listen
to the recitations of the upper grade in
a room often prepares the pupil fer the
upper grade by arousing interest in the
work which will be of great benefit when
the upper grade is reached.
Dr. Davidson explained other reasons
why the teaching of two grades by one
teacher is preferable. economy being chief
of them. Most of the grades in the city
are single. he said. but the supervising
principals are not instructed to discredit
the double-grade system.
The subcommittee is to take the mat
ter UP with the fun committee and re-
port embodying recommendation prob
ably will be submitted To the board at in
next meeting.

BOYS VIOLATE LAW.
Five Go Swimming Without Permit,
Another Wanders From Home.
Summer is here.

summer Is mere.
Many people supposed this To be true.
judging from the torrid weather of this
week. and from the bold men who wear
straw hats on the least provocat;on. hut
the first real sign was shown in the
Juvenile Court yesterday.
The boys have been swimming in Rock
creek, and the water was fine, to-. be-
cause the five offenders who were brought
into court by Mounted Policeman John
Boiand all said One stayed in the
water as long as ten minutes, and even
then 1t wasn't cold bit.
The five boys ARA gned were William
Linkins. Halleck Name. John BALDWIN,
Paul Dennie and Oliver Harrison. Police
man Boland. whose business IL Is TO
parade the highways and byways OF Rock
Creek Park on his steed. spied them
swimming in the creek, clothed in abso-
lutely nothing.
The boys protested vehemently to the
Judge that they did not intend to trans
sress, but lust had to go swlmmln, IL
was SO warm.
Judge De Lacy told them just how and
where to go to get a permit for bathing
in the stream and the boys promised TO
stay away from the crick" until they
had permits and bathing suits, on which
promise they were allowed to go free.
Wallace Burton. another younester who
was in court yesterday. felt the call or
the warm days i'm quite another manner.
Wallace and several other boys didn't
go in for swimming. but for the outdoor
life generally. pitching a camp in the
virgin forest a few hundred yards from
18th and II streets northeast.
Wallace was a victim of the wander
lust once before but he returned safely
to home and mother via the police. the
Juvenile Court and the board of childrens
guardians. That time he had been gone
for some time before his mother COM
planned to the police.
The boys mother said she was not wor-
ried about her sons absence on this last
occasion, though he had been gone for two
weeks. Ii is doubtful If she would have
found him then, had il not been for Tie
police who notified her that Wallace had
been arrested on charge OF StcalnS
loaf of bread.
Wallace told Judge De Lacy yesterday
that he had been having fine time AT
the camp He summed up the whole sit
uation when. answering the Judge S ques-
ton about whether he would rather stay
at the camp or eat and sleep in his own
home, he replied that he could 20 home
any time, but il wasn't often that camps
could be established where one could get
pork chops and sausage.
The Judge inquired about the expenses
of the camp and found out that the boys
had taken advantage of cleanup weeis
and had spent a lot of time in cleaning
up yards for citizens in the neighbo. hood.
earning enough money TO purchase the
coveted dainties.
On the charge of stealing loaf OF
bread Judge De Lacy sent Wallace TO
