capacities and was retired with the

TALKS TO TEACHERS.
OF us. ON EFFICIENCY |:
Or. A. D. Yoakum Urges Practi-
cability in School Work Be!
fore National Council.

NEW YORK. July DIR A. Duncan
Yocum. professor OF educational re-
search and practice. University Of Penn
sylvania. In a report to the National
Council OF Education. In convention
here today. insisted that an industrial
establishment that selected Its stock
with as little knowledge of the definite
uses Of Its details as the ordinary school
superintendent has of his course Of
study. soon would become bankrupt. .
Courses should be so detailed that
every fact definitely suggests the thing
that makes II useful. Ventilation. for
example. is not ''practicar' unless It In
variably suggests open bedroom win
dows or means of ventilatinx a crowded
room. Branches are not useful as
wholcs. and no plea OF mental training
justifics the inclusion Of any material
for which the course Of study falls to
assign such definite service as Develop
ing a particular ideal or habit. con-
tributing specified words and associa-
tons. or insuring given conditions IA
vorable to application and originality.
DR.. Yocum also condemned as ineni-
cient the course that failed to sharply
distinguish between facts that are to be
memorized and reviewed by all pupils
in common, those that are to be left to
individual and varying mastery. and
those which, useful only through result
Ing impression. are not to be memorised
at all.

Special to The Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald.
New York, New 1.-When Detective
Casassa Of the pickpocket squad was on
duty in the rush hour on lower Broadway
this morning he saw an old familiar
figure in a big black overcoat, several
times too large for him vending his way
through the crowd. 1t was "Old Deafy
Dowd," dean of pickpockets, busy on his
morning routine
At Broadway and Dey street Casassa
saw Dowd approach a crowd clustered
about a window. He went from one man
to another feeling the outsides of their
pockets. Finally the detective saw him
place his hand in the back pocket Of a
man in the crowd.
Casassa stepped UP and caught the old
mans hand. Out fluttered a slip of paper.
The bystander whose pocket had been
touched" said he was Fernando Rendon.
He identified the slip of paper as one on
which he had written some names and
addresses.
The prisoner gave his name as John
Murphy, Sc. He is also known as John
Dowd, Frank MCGOWAN. John williams
and by many other aliases His picture
Is B132 in the Rogues' Gallery.

observation-disclosures

Something different is the way in
which the advance agent describes the
entertainment to be given at the Gayety
Theater next week by the famous
Twentieth Century Maids company.
A two-act musical comedy, The Avia-
tor" which serves incidentally to intro
duce numerous specialties, Is replete with
amusing situations, decidedly catchy mu-
sic and ensembles which display to the
best possible advantage the charms OF
the big chorus Of beauties.
Headed by Jim Barton, and abetted
by John Barry, Arthur Young, Jim
Howell and Mike Corbin, 1t is said that
laughter will reign supreme. Drena
Mack. prima donna, and Nellie O'Connor,
ingenue. lead the feminine contingent.
The production has the advantage Of su-
perb stage settings and many costume
changes. A genuine novelty is a French
pantomime scene, introducing for the
first time here Airline Donaire and Jules
lie Barbe.
