PARROT WORK IS
OVER IN SCHOOL
MN
STUDENTS FORCED TO THINK UN-
DER NEW SYSTEM OF REclTA.
TloM6 AND STUDY PERIODS
Parrot recitations have been put un-

cnhnnIc

Parrot recitations have been put un-
der ban at Mitchell high and Central
schools.
No more will pupils be required to
muddle un-inlelligently at their desks
or evenings at home and come to the
recitation the following day with an
automatic lesson which might nearly as
well have been committed TO phono-
graph record as far as the amount OF
real thinking required in its acquisition
is concerned.
For a pupil to sing off: "The three
departments in the three departments
of the United States are the ex- no
The three departments of the United
Stalns government are the executive,
the legislative and the judicial" has
been iabooed by Mitchell school heads.
In the opinion OF Superintendent r.

ed in The Mitchell high school ana the
seventh and eighth grades in Central
school will prove 10 be a success. al
study system is an experiment here anG
may not prove as successful aa it has in
other places"
The keynote Of the supervised study
system is class discussion. The basic
idea is TO teach pupils to think,-to gel
something out Of the lesson that wa!
not conceived, by the teacher nor b!
the author of the text book.
The recitation periods in the higl
school have been IS minutes in length

the period was heightened 10 a fnl
hour. This time will be consumed b,
The new system is the plan fololWe, ..s
by many of the modern schools AM

of the student.
The elimination of the parrot recita,
ton will not only effect the students

system in other schools ays that teacll

ANGRY SOLONS DENOUNCE
SPECTATORS IN FOOD
Senators Suggest Strnging Them to
Lamp Posts or Putting Them Be-
hind Prison Bars.

Washington, May 1.-The rising SEN
timent in Congress for legislation to
meet the nations food problems broke
out in the Senate in debate that
started over the high price OF seeds,
but developed into denunc1atlons or
food spectators, with predictions
that the best way to deal with them
was to string them to lamp posts or
put them behind prison bars.
Senators from farming states de-
MED that there is any real shortage OF
staple foods in the United States. Sen
ator John Sharp Williams declared
there had been a hysteria throughout
the country and that the cause OF high
prices was largely psychological. He
said he believed the German corrup-
ton fund recently unearthed In fed
eral court in New York may have been
responsible for the hysteria

HIGH GERMAN OFFICIALS
FACING CUSTER, is RUM0R
Grave Government Crisis at Hand in
Berlin as Result Of Labor Agita-
tons on Holiday.

Amsterdam, May 3. A grave gov
eminent crisis in Germany, with de-
mand for a powerful dominant man
at the head of the state, is the theme
of the latest May Day rumor to reach
the outside world from the ironbound
borders of the kaiser's realm.
This report, which agitated both
foes and friends of Germany, brought
to a climax a day of suspense, sur
prises and contradictions, another
startling feature of which was an ap-
parently credible report that Chancel-
Tor Won Bethman-Hollweg would short
ly launch another German peace over
ture.
Latest rlmor Of governmental
crisis in Berlin is credited to the news
paper Weser Zeitung of Bremen. The
German capitol, according to this au-
thority, is in a state of excitement
over gossip Of an overturn in the high
est quarters.
Precisely what is meant by the re-
ported demand for a strong man
and whether it affects the stability OF
the royal family is a subject OF the
widest conjecture.

HOLLWEG FACING GREAT
CRISIS, DISPATCHES SAY
Teuton Chancellor Under Fire From
Different Elements and Hindenburg
Is Mentioned as His Successor.

London, May 4. - Whether German
Imperial Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg is to make a peace proffer or
not was in doubt, some messages from
Germany insisting he had deferred de-
livery of the address.
Whether or not he talked, all news
from Germany reaching Denmark and
Holland indicated that the chancellor
is facing his greatest crisis politically.
He is under fire from the conserva-
tives, who oppose electoral reforms; he
is mistrusted by the socialists because
he has not gone far enough in promise
of reforms; he is blamed by other part
les for maladministration of the food
control.
Reports Of a new peace offer from
Hollweg have crystalliZed this oppos1-
ton. The junkers and big manufacture
ers fear Hollweg may try to announce
Germanys willingness to make peace
by returning the industrial sections OF
Belgium ard France she now holds.
linden burg is being advanced by this
class of Hollweg's enemies as his log
ical successor.

WOULD HIT LARGE |"'.cOMES
COMMITTEE UNDOES PART OF
SUB-cOMMlTTEEW WORK.
Revisions Made Upwards, Increases
Generally Being Made in Income
Tax Provisions of Measure.

Washington. May 3. - The House
ways and means committee began rip
ping apart and redrafting the war rev.
enue bill submitted by it's sub-commit7
tee.
The brief sessions of the full COM
mittee resulted in overturning by a
vote of II to the subcommittee pro-
posal to reduce the amount to be rails
ed from 100000, as suggested
by Secretary McAdoo to approximately
81 ,4OO, 100000 and in general upward
revision of the income tax, increases
were written into the BILL.
Every rate affecting incomes above
$4,000, it is understood, was tenta'
lively increased by the full committee,
So sharp were advances, it is said,
that about half of all incomes in ex'
cess of 100000 annually would go to
the government.
Excess to Be Attacked.
Excess profits tax proposals will
be attacked by the committee with
every indication that the, sub-commit-
tee plan VIII be greatly altered. 1t
proposes doubling the present rate OF
8 per cent on profits exceeding So
900 and 8 per cent on the investment.
Many Republican members declare
they will never agree to such large
increase
