More Practical Work Planned.

The new courses will look toward
more practical work than did the old
ones Speaking of the changes wrought
Supt Thurston explained today that
The new courses of study Will be SIM
pie and definite \ great deal of use
less stuff which has filled every course
will be thrown out: the new courses
Will be thoroughly worth while. Civ
ing q solid ground work in general
training The changes were not made
simply to do something new, but 10
bring the courses W. to date
one of the largest changes. probably.
will be found in the high schools.
where the English course has been re-
vamped to fit the need of the respec-
tive schools. Under the direction of
Miss Sarah F. Simons. head of the de-
partment of English in the high
schools, three distinct outlines have
been formed-onc for the three aca-
demic schools. one for the Business
High and one for the Mckinley Man
uaI Training.
In the process of reVampinS, the opIn-
ions of teachers in all parts of the city.
as Well as the many officials, haze been
obtained. This is a policy which has
been followed in Washington for long
time-to get the opinions and ideas of
Thurston, but it is one which is just
being Incorporated in number of
other cities.

equally divided between children and

the production the more

The scenery. stage properties and light
ing effects lent much to the excellence of
the production and they were all built
and installed by the boys of the school
center. The back scene showed a path
through a dense woodland. and was well
painted. The plot of the operetta lent
itself to a series of pretty tableaux with
shaded and colored lights, which were
managed by the Young cleo

itself to do so for its travelling employees.
it is a per diem allowance of fixed sum

UNCLE SANS EMPLOYEES
SCORED BY ONE Of THEM
Land Office Surveyor Says They
Consider Only Own
Interests.

1T is my observation that government
employees do not look at the matter in
the light of How much money can save
the government? or How can get more
work done for the government writes
II. w. MacFarren. a land Office surveyor,
arguing for allowance of his claim to a
per diem charge dissallowed by the
auditor for the Interior Department. but
rather How can ! get my expenditure
through or How can / get more money
out?'"
George f. Downey. controller of the
Treasury. Goes not take exception to this
language in ruling on the matter. but
considers it a strong argument. He does
not take it into account, nevertheless, in
ruling on the question. although he al
lows the credit to MacFarren. overrulinS
the auditor for the Interior Department.
The matter of IS goes into MacFarren' s
pocket by the decision.
Such language presents a strong
argument in favor of an allowance, says
Controller Downey, in his ruling, but
will not be permitted to influence deter
mnation of the question on its merits.
