but there is much more effort
made to prevent the non-promotioi
of a slow pupil than there Is to
secure the proportionally rapid ad-
vancement of the bright child. Each
pupil should have his just proport on
of the guiding influence of the
teacher, whether he be bright aver
age or dull.
MANY teachers, in order TO secure
high percentage of promotion. leave
the best pupils to care for themselves

give an increasing greater time to
pupils. who are liable to fail of pro-
motion, instead of giving each pupil
his proportion of attention"
Taking up the question of reading,
MIR. Sexton says: 80 far as scientific
Investigations have progressed. no
preference has been found in favor
of any one method of teaching read
ing to beginners. The results seem to
be about tho same when the child
reaches the grammar grades.
1.-THE period when child reads to
learn should not all be given to what
is termed good literature, but the
inclination of the child to acquire
facts should also be gratifled The
reading of this period should lead to
the latter, and the study of history,
geography, science. etc.
"Silent reading should form a much
greater portion of pupils work, and
new methods of teaching silent read
ing must be formulated Almost all
of our school reading is at present
oral, while in later life very little will
be oral"

that he was heartily in favor Of

he employed. All these systems, he
said, had now been discarded for the
simplified methods, which he found
were the best. He had number OF

PROMOTIONS ON
HIGH AVERAGE IN
LOCAL SCHOOLS
Assistant City Superintendent
Sexton Tells of Results in
Annual Report.

+. X. Sexton, assistant city super
intendent of schools, in his annual
report, takes up the question of
school economy. According to Mr..
Sexton, the old country school, of
which we hear so much, educated the
geniuses but did little for the masses.
students of political economy
have long debated the question
whether the State is best preserved
by the education of the genuises or
the Masses says Mr. Sexton "The
country schools We're judged by the
bright pupils turned out; the dull
ones continued to repeat the same
work year after year, but made very
little progress. The percentage pro-
NOTED each year was very low. Not
until a few years ago was there
much attention paid to this Phase of
school economy. Many pupils failed
each term and many repeated
terms work several times. making no
progress, but rather atrophying the
mind"
In his report Mr.. Sexton states that
in 1905 the percentage of promotion
was 1875, and this year the per-
centage was 1913. He says in 1905
1871 pupils failed of promotion and
were compelled to repeat grade, a
half year, and this year the number
was 1852, but had the same proper
ton failed as in 1905 there would
have been 24,009 pupils who failed.
According to Mr.. Sexton this de-
crease represents a considerable
financial advantage to the city. He
also contends the individuals also
gained the following advantages:
More pupils have gone on to
higher work and have retained their
self-respect and self-reliance
MANY pupils haYe been better
educated when they were obliged to
leave school. They were able to
reach higher grades younger and
were able to secure greater value
: from the advanced work than they
would from reviewing the work of
the lower grades.
Fewer pupils desire to leave
school. Their interest is greatly in
creased and their aims become more
definite.
More pupils attend the high
schools. In 1906 32 per. cent. of all
pupils and 81 per cent. of the popu-
! lation of the city were found in the
high schools, while this year So per
cent of all pupils and .sS per cent oil
the population of the city are attend
ing the high schools.
Individual Teaching.
ITO accomplish these results" con-
tinued Mr.. Sexton, more individual
and less mass teaching has been en-
phasized. We have heard much of
late regarding special training for de-
fectives, preyocational training. in
dustrial training, class for backward
pupils, etc They are given specially
trained teachers, special courses of
study and smaller number of pupils
per class. All of this is along the line
of encouraging individual instruction
and individual possibilities; but what
has been done for the especially
bright pupil? There should be as

NEW POLISH GOVERNMENT
 SYSTEM BEING PREPARED

Warsaw, Poland, January z.-(Corre- spondence of the Associated ress.)-The neucleus of the parliamentary organiza- tion to rule Poland if the Russian Elm peror is able to put into effect his prom ise of an autonomous government has been established here by congress of delegates from all parts of the kingdom.
 The new body, which is under the chair manship of Count Zygmunt Wielopolski, is called the Polish National Council. The congress which formed it had the sanction and approval of the Russian authorities.
 The delegates included all deputies and former deputies of Poland in both branches of the legislature of the Rus sian empire, and considerable number of other Headers of social work
 The proceedings of the congress reflected the Russian expectation that all German ard Austrian Poland will be added to the new Russian state at the end of the war Organizations of the council was partly undertaken at this time to gain for Russia the support of Poles in Germany and Austria.

.CARRANzA WARNED
 BY U. 5. AGAIN
Say Threat to Close Oil Wells Will Cause
 Trouble

Washington Januarys 15-The United States government has warned Gen. Ve- nustiano Carranza that serious conse- quences may follow his threatened con- fiscation of foreign owned oil plants in Tampico. This announcement was made by Secretary Bryan today after a con- ference with Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambassador, and representatives of American oil concerns
 Already the Carranza officials have en- forced a virtual embargo on the exporta- ton of oil by big English company.
 The British amba ssador at MT. Bryan's suggestion sent an urgent protest to the British consul at Vera Cruz for General Carranza. As the British fleet obtains much of it's fuel from the Tampico fields, the possibility of serious complications over the Carranza governments attitude is fully realized by the American gov ernment
 Fear COnfiscatiOn
 MT. Bryan said today that the foreign owned oil companies feared confiscation of their wells' by Carranza, and that the urgent representations had been made to forestall such action. A decree issued by the Carranza government makes it impos- sible for some foreign oil companies to operate without the consent of the Car ranza authorities and some American con- cern, it is said, have been forced to pay so heavy a tax that they have been com pelled to shut down.
 The prospect of battle on the outskirts of Tampico is expected here to develop the situation further. If Villa forces are victorious a solution of the problem is confidently expected because of previous assurances by the Villa-Gutierrez officials. The following summary of the situation in Tampico in a telegram from that point dated late yesterday, was made public by the state department:
 Line Cut
 ''The line between Monterey and Tam pIco has been cut, and American colonists in isolated districts are sending women to Tampico, which place is still antici- pating an attack. The food supply is said to be short. Many Americans have been thrown out of work on account of the closing down of the petroleum companies On account of the recent petroleum decree and lack of confidence in constitutions alist money business is said to be demor- alized. It is said that in the Tampico con- sular district there are at least 12OO Amer icans."
 The. closing down of oil plants, officials have pointed out, not only will affect the supply of fuel to foreign countries, but to Texas. where much of the product is used.
 State department dispatches from Mon- terey dated yesterday say some of the Carranza troops have now returned to Monterey, the Villa troops having failed to enter thevcity. A telegram from Eagle Pass said authentic reports had been received there from Las Vegas saying a part of the garrison had attempted to revolt in favor of Villa, but was sub- dued and that 10 were executed.
