expenses of running common and High

than before. s1427.96 higher in 4he COM
mon schools, and $45114 in the High
school This has been due partly to
increased salaries of teachers. and
Supt Perkins states that the city
should make further provision for in
creasing the pay of teachers.
The most significant event in school
affairs Of the past year was the COM
pletion of the ne&-High school build

Recommendations.

The city has taken a forward step
in establishing a domestic science
course; this advance should be COM
pleted by introducing course in
manual training. The equipment of
such course would cost at the start
about $500, and the State will reim-
burse the city for two thirds of the
salary of the instructor.
Some means should be taken to re-
lieve the crowded condition of Myrtle
street and North Grammar schools.
This can be done in the best way by
erecting a new school building on
Upper Main street A temporary re-
lief could be obtained by adding a
second story to the Brook street
school.
Every city of the size of Waterxile
should maintain an ungraded school.
This should be taught by one of our
best teachers; it should contain not
more than Is pupils at one time, and
its purpose should be to give special
instruction to those pupils who are
far behind in their grade. pupils of like
age. and to receive pupils from other
schools and do not fit into any grade.
and by drilling these pupils upon the
subjects in which they are lacking,
enable them 10 do grade work to adj
vantage. One of these schools could
be established at the Pleasant street
school,

A School Nurse.


In order that medical inspection may
accomplish its best results, work needs
to be done in following up the cases
needing attention, and by visiting the
homes secure for the children the care
and treatment needed. This could be
best accomplished by school nurse
Reorganize Evening School.
A re- organization of the evening
school is planned in order that
this work may be of more value To
those who take it, and that more may
take advantage of these schools.
The adoption of the national sys-
tenn of office and school records is rec
commended, thus making our records
uniform with those of the leading cities
Of the United States. This renders
educational statistics more accurate
and valuable, and makes possible an
intelligent study of many school pre-
blems. The board of education has
already voted that the school census
shall hereafter be kept in permanent
form. that it may be more useful ana

BABY IS TRADED
I. BY MOTHERFOR
CHICKEN BROOD
Woman Declares She Has No
Place for Own Offspring,
but Wants Poultry.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 27.-The
death of Mrs. Lille Carnes, in a gaso-
line explosion yesterday. at her home,
left homeless Maurine' Carnes, l year
old, adopted daughter, for whom Mrs.
Carnes had traded five Plymouth
Rock hens. a rooster and half a dozen
chicks.
Mrs. Carnes made this trade when
the mother of the baby came to Mrs.
Carnes' home, after being discharged
from the General Hospital.
The mother said she had no place
to go; that the baby had not been
born in wedlock, and that she did not
dare return with it to the home of her
parents in the country. She said her
parents were very poor.
Mrs. Carnes, taking pity on the
young mother, said: "In take the
baby. Here. take these chickens
they're all l can give yOu-and take
them home with you. They will help
you and your parents. You will be
better off on the farm, and the chick
ems will give you a start toward max
ing your own living"
The young mother has not been
heard from recently.
Mrs. Carnes' husband deserted her
three weeks ago. Left without any
means of support, Mrs. Carnes was
compelled to give the baby into the
care Of a neighbor
This woman appeared in Juvenile
Court to-day and obtained permission
to keep the child.

HUSBAND Of )
TELLS HOW To
CAPTURE GIRLS
"Act Part of Gentleman" Is His
Advice to Ambitious Young
WooerS.

Los ANGELES. Sept 27-"Profes-
sor" c. f. Carrier, connoisseur of
courtship arch master wooer, sat. in
the county iail and told his remark
able story of winning the love of five
women and explained how he had
done it.
Accused by a former wife. Mrs.
Clara Smith, of No. 3472 Second ave-
nue., of being a bigamist-or, more
correctly still, a pentagamist-he ad-
mits having been a party to many
Tomances. and having won the hearts
Of at least FIVE attractive women, but
insists he only married three of them.
Briefly, his success in the matri-
msnial way he attributes to the fol-
lowing causes:
Professor Carrier has a pair OF soft
sympathetic eyes, dark brown in col
or with which he looks in a pecu-
liarly appealing manner at one with
whom he may be in conversation.
His eyes are not shifty, or what
may be called in the vernacular of
modern song, "shaky" or beautiful"
or even what are so commonly term
ed Hypnotic eyes" They look up into
those of his auditor as though ap-
pealing for sympathy.
Il have always acted the part of
the gentleman in all my conduct with
women" he explained. and his gem
eral bearing would seem to indicate
this. He warns against the use of the
overfrank, familiar talk, sometimes
characterized by the young lady as
fresh" and accompanied with a slap
upon the cheek
In practically all the cases of love-
making Of which Carrier was an in
terested party, the troubles of the
one became the concern OF the other.
That women, as a rule, like to listen
to the troubles of a man, Is pretty
safe rule, he believes. They crave
sympathy, too, he AYERS and express
sicns Of this nature, tactfully framed,
are sure to go far toward winning
affection.
All this revelation of the art of
love making came about following the
charge made by Mrs. Clara Smith. OF
Los Angeles, that Professor Carrier
had married five times. and had never
taken the trouble to dissolve the
blissful or otherwise bonds Of matri-
mony by telling his troubles TO d
judge in divorce court.
She says she was No. on the list
till her marriage was annulled last
April by Judge Monroe, upon her
claim that Carrier was married at the
time he married her.
