WOMEN CLERKS EMPLOYED
IN BANK OF ENGLAND

London, Aug. 26.-The very sane
tum OF British conservatism, the Bank
OF England, has been invaded by wom-
en- clerks. over 200 of them are now
employed in the bank in various forms
OF clerical work. While it is the war
that gave women the opportunity OF
replacing men of military age, it is
also war that created additional work
at the bank through the war loan busi-
ness.
Women have been employed in the
Bank of England in the humble note
sorting capacity since 1895 but they
had never. before done clerical work.
They often put in as much as twelve
hours day.
Other banks, it is stated, now con-
template following the lead OF the
Bank OF England, which, despite its
former prejudice against women, has
been historically known as the Old
Lady OF Threadneedle Street.

J by an earlier introduction OF preyo
cational work and Of subjects usually
taught In the high school. There are
| now 81 cities in the United States
where Junior high schools are or.
ganzed in unmistakable form.
"One advantage claimed foI the
| junior high school, declares DR..
Briggs, is that it groups children
50 that subjects seldom taught in the
grammar grades may be introduced,
thereby giving each pupil more in.
telligent understanding Of the work
Of the world Of the possibilities in
the subject and in the pupil himself.
The junior high school also makes
easier the transition Of pupils TO the
high school That the change between
the elementary and the high school
should be SO sharp permits no justi-
fcation. To bridge this gap by ear
lier introduction to high school sub
jects and methods Of teaching has
greatly improved results, it is
claimed.
"The junior high school has further.
more greatly decreased elimination Of
pupils from school This elimination
after the seventh, eighth, and ninth
grades has been one OF the greatest
reproaches TO our educational system.
Amy plan that promises to retain chill
dren in school beyond these grades
is worthy OF the most careful con-
sideration"
The statistics given by DR.. Briggs
show that a much larger per cent Of
students enter high school where jun
ior high schools exist than before
they were organized
That the junior high school fur
nishes an opportunity for various
needed reforms in instruction is the
final claim Of the new movement, ac.
cording to DR. Briggs. He points out
that in the junior high school a
course OF study based on the newer
principles of psychology, sociology, |
and economies, various provisions for
individual differences, and especially
an improved method of teaching, can
be introduced
Los Angeles (Cal) high school,
Butte CMont) high school Wiscon-
sin high school, Madison, Wis; and
Horace Mann school, New York City,
are cited as successfully organized
junior high schools, LOS Angeles
having far outstripped all other cities
in developing them"

OMAHA, May 29.-To the Editor Of The
Bee; II is reported that the officials of
the Omaha Electric Light & Power com.
pany have expressed their willingness to
submit their books for examination by
competent public accountants, for 7he
purpose OF determining the equity Of PRES
emit rates an between the company
and It's patrons It occurs to me this
offer should be taken as made in good
faith and steps taken to secure such
investigation.
Under present conditions. no person
outside the offices Of the electric light
company Is in possession OF information
upon which fair and impartial opinion
can be based as to the present rates, or
those proposed under the new rate or
dinanoe. which is in controversy. u may
be fairly stated that such necessary In
formation lie not even in the possession
OF the city council. The following sug-
gestion Sc submitted:
Let a COMMITTEES Of three competent
citizenB be selected: one member of the
United Improvement clubs, one by the
executive committee OF the Omaha Com
mercial club ana the third by the two
thus chosen. This committee 70 under
take negotiations as between the electric
light company and the city council look
ing TO the making of the proposed inves-
tigation and the arrangement for pay
ing the expense of the same.
This committee should be further en-
powered by mutual agreement to select
the accountants and make a final re-
port TO the city council, the electric light
company and to the public.

While the full text OF the German reply to
the demands made by the American note. deal
ing with the Lusitania case, Is yet to be gived
out, the forecast conveys the impression that
the kaiser's government is not willing to con-
cede all the points raised by Mr.. Wilson as
essentially necessary to the maintenance OF
friendly relations.
No answer is given 70 the specific demand for
assurance that safety OF travel AZ sea would be-
secured at least TO the extent that passengers
and crews OF ships to be torpedoed would have
time TO leave in boats, II not taken off by the
attacking vessels. Nor Is any reply made to the
other specific demand that the rights OF neutral
ships to traffic between neutral ports be more
scrupulously regarded. Both these points
omitted. Instead the good faith OF the United
States lie indirectly called in question, by the
insinuation that the Lusitsnia was armed, and
that II was used to transport soldiers and that
the Americans on board were present merely
a screen for the Illegal operations OF Great
Britain. II the Lusitania we're armed, IL would
have been the duty OF the United States to de-
tain Il in harbor, and II would have been equally
a violation OF neutrality TO have permitted the

The "Antln Argument.

SOUTH OMAHA, May 2a-To the
Editor Of The Bee: The great flourish
made about annexation would be amusing
II 1t werc not for that element OF prejudice
engrafted into the arguments evidently
put there TO convince the convincible that
all ants are either foolish or dishonest
in their purpose.
! don't know how much worse South
Omaha Is than other places similarly sit
uated, but I am convinced there is not
another that gets as much unfavorable
notoriety and little boost from agencies
that stand in the same relationship as
do the Omaha papers TO South Omaha.
No one can find fault with the publicity
given facts. the more the better. The
people OF South Omaha as a whole don't
want TO hamper the publicity. the prose-
eution or the ehastlsement OF crime and
they should not be put In that light OF
publicity. through these great agencies
''The Omaha papers (Which We help
support TO the very best OF our ability
should carry South omaha's virtues, ad-
vantages. and prospective greatness out
side the city limits, once in a while any
way.
Asking South Omaha people 10 vote yes
on annexation is a good deal like asking
a man to write the sentence that would
cause his own hanging or asking the
modest maiden who would marry 70 go
over into her intended's home and say
You must have me-"
We foresee the result with apprs-
hension. We know Omaha people, seeing

OMAHA, May SOTO the Editor of The
Bee: The people OF South Omaha are
being asked to vote for $4,000 additional
park bonds on next Tuesday. In 1905
South Omaha voted $4,000 for park bonds.
anc in 1911 $4,000 more bonds were is
sued for parks, thus making $4,000 al
ready Issued for our parks. In the last
five years an additional sum Of $1,000
has been expended on the parks, and
from the above Il would seem that the
park system of our city has been pretty
well provided for.
As our city Is reasonably sure to be an
nexed to Omaha, that city has already
made arrangements to put our parks In
first class condition. the same as their
present parks. In case OF such merger.
Omaha has also promised to connect our
parks with it's boulevard system and
make all the parks of the Greater Omaha
second to none in the country.
As our taxes are already sufficiently
high to suit the average taxpayer, IL
would seem from the above that the is
suing OF the above bonds at this time
is not necessary and the people of the
city should vote Mo- on the bond ques-
ton.
