order before council yesterday ask
ing Chief Healey why he had failed
to enforce the ordinance. Miss Cog
gin, treas. of the Chicago Teachers

Field truck week ago.
The city council has not been off

illegal and Aid. Kerner wants to know
why the chief has failed to enforce
the law according to the instructions
of the council.
81 say that this negligence or to
this deliberate disregard of orders of
the council may be attributed the re-
cent death of woman whose life was
one Of unself1sh devotion to the best
interests of Chicago" said Kerner.
Gentlemen, how much longer are
you going to stand for this disregard
of your orders? suppose tomorrow
I'll be accused of playing politics. If
that is called playing politics Pm
proud of it and l wish that more of
you would play politics. My people
sent me here to save their lives by
this ordinance and I'm going to do
it."
Aid. James Kearns, chairman of
the compensation committee, had an
order passed by the council last night
again boosting the rent of Butler

CALDWELL SCHOOL SAVINGS
BANK MAKES GREAT RECORD
Children Lay Aside $20270 First
Month of Operation of Plan.

The public school savings bank. to
which reference has been made In
these columns on past occasions, has
made a most gratifying record. The
first month the school bank was in
operation, four grades saved $202.7O
The record made in this city is at
tracing wide attention. The Recla>
nation Record for June has the fol-
lowing comment:
Thrift Movement Growing.
The thrift movement is being fol-
lowed on many of the projects by the
introduction of school savings bank
system. The town of Caldwell reports
the introduction of a plan similar to
the Williston project system describ-
ed in the May Record. Ten cents is
all that is necessary to open an &C
count and when this amount is
brought to the teacher by the pupil he
is given a card which, when presented
at the bank, will secure for him "Sys.
tenn bank" When 81 has been saved
the pupil deposits the money at the
bank itself, so that he learns the first
step in banking money. and the
amount of deposit is recorded by the
teacher.
For the one month that the Caldwell
system had been in operation, and with
only four grades enrolled, there was
saving of $202.70 Other grades will
be enrolled when sufficient equipment
is secured. The banks. enrolment
cards, ETC., are furnished by the bank
and it is hoped that when the fall
term opens the other two banks will
be cooperating. Each week the teach.
ers are asked to conduct a lesson ir
thrift which, of course, is intended tc
instill into the boys and girls the ides
that thrift consists not only in intelli.
gent saving, but intelligent spending
as we'll 1t is recognized that good
education consists largely of correct
habits of thought and action. and tn,
purpose of the plan is to teach, MOI
the boarding of money, but habits o.
wise saving and wise spending.

Monday evening the members of
Co. c., N. G. l., passed the U. 5. Army
standard medical examination with fly
ing colors, not single man being re-
jeoted.
The examination, conducted by Ma
jor Turkey, Major Jeffries and Sergt.
Bruce, was rigid in every particular,
and the result was extremely crafty
ing. Major Turkey was delighted with
the showing made by the men and de-
clared Caldwell stood at the head of
all of the companies he had examined,
in regard to physical development and
fitness.
81 certainly congratulate you," he
said in speaking to Captain Banks af-
ter the examinations were concluded,
lin having such a splendid body OF
men. Some of them looked to me to
be little under weight before they
stripped and got on the scales, but
they are fine specimens of the physical
man. Every one of the men passed
with good margin. That this means
omething may be gathered from the
fact that in the last two examinations
made, IL out of rs were rejected in
one town and seven were turned down

The examination was called for the
purpose of acquiring an accurate rec
ord of each of the men for the war de-
partment of the United States, in &C
cordance with the requirements of the
bill recently passed by Congress and
which was signed by the President
last Saturday. Under the provisions
of this bill the National Guard was
federated" and is now under abso-
lutte control of the President. The
men will receive $50 of the pay of the
Regulars, except when under arms
when they will get the regular pay
With the splendid opportunities fol
advancement offered in the Nationa
Guard and the army, it is expected
that the ranks of the Guard will soor
be recruited to maximum strength.
The pay of the men in the Nationa
Guard will be equivalent to SLIGO fol
each drill highland vacation of i
days each year with all expenses paic
besides pay of from $1.50 a day up
The pay of the officers will range from
$4,000 for the second lieutenant te
$500 per annum for the captain of eacf
company.
The new range north of the city i!

dition and some good scores are being
