MISS LUCY COLEMAN
RETURNS FROM CHILE

Miss Lucy Coleman. formerly head
of the Richmond Training School Tor
KIndergartners arrived at her home
In Richmond this week after having
spent eighteen months in Chile and
Peru promoting kindergarten work In
those countries with the Chilean PIX
ploration company. Miss Coleman
spent the greater part OF her time In
a copper mining camp where ninety
per cent of the population was Indian
Influenza and pneumonia struck
these countries hard. she says. and.
because OF the ignorance among the
natives, poor sanitation, and over
crowded. conditions in many localities.
death lists were enormous
OF the ignorance In South America
Miss Coleman has much TO say. In
struction in personal hygiene and a
revision OF the moral codes of the rel
natives are needed badly. While there
is q compulsory educational law the
teachers are very poorly educated
themselves and the religion OF the
people has degenerated seriously. The
natives have combined their sun wor-
ship with Catholicism and the result
is superstition.
Miss Coleman says that there Ia a
great field for work there and
especially among the Chilean women
who are very quick witted and bright.
The women are very much interested
in dress and while equal suffrage ideas
have not penetrated the country yet.
in other things they are quite up to
date.

board OF charities and corrections,
will preside.
DIR. Joseph T. Mastin, secretary OF
the board. said yesterday that it was
possible that further testimony wouli
be taken. Advices from Washington
would indicate that f. f.. budding.

charges against the penitentiary

OPEN AIR DANCE FOR
HOMECOMING WEEK

One of the interesting ideas pro-
posed by Henri Beaugard, local
music director of the war camp com
munity service, is the open air dance.
He proposes that during homecoming
week certa'-1 squares on Monument
avenue be roped off so that the re-
turned soldiers and their friends may
dance on the asphalt to the strains
of music from bands playing on the
grass plots in the center of the
streets Spectators, too, m light line up
on the green to watch the dancing on
either side. Suitable decorations
would flutter across these streets,
probably lighted by lanterns. one
such big dance would not be suf-
ficient. is the opinion of Mr.. Bergard
but each community should in addi-
ton have a separate dance during the
festival week in which the boys OF
that community would take part.

WOLVES GET SHEEP.

Supervisor Corbett OF Mansfield
tells us that wolves have been bother
ing the flock of sheep belonging /,
Mr.. Barber. the Montana ranchmar
who unloaded recently at Tolen',
Spur.
Mr. Corbctt says that one night q
pack OF ten wolves attacked the flock
and. before the men could scare them
away, seven sheep had been killed by
them. There are 5000 sheep in the
flock. and II takes quite few minutes
for the herdcrs 10 get from one end
TO the other and in that time pack
OF wolves can do considerable damage
Mr.. Barber says that the loss from
Wolves In the west Is quite healvy al
so. and he Is not discouraged because

AT THE CARPENTER.

Captain Martin tells us that he has
started to clean up the sand. The
work is going slow just now as the
pit and landing must be cleaned out
and hut few men can be worked al
that, but in few days as the work
progresses more men will be set at
work and he hopes TO keep increasing
the force right along.
The delay In getting electric pumps
has been the greatest drawback as II
tied up the air capacity OF the power
plant. The pumps are here and will
be nj work In the Monongahela to-
morrow so that there will be free air
to use in mining work and the full
force will start at that property.

crosses men will be set at work in the

Two gentlemen, a Mr.. Thomas of
Minneapolis and Mr.. Black from
Houghton, have been in the city dur
ing the week interviewing a number
of local peaple as to the desire for
new bank in this city. II is under
stood that considerable encourage
ment has been given them and that in
all probability a new bank will be es-
tablished in the Ross building in the
near future.
Almost all cities of this size have
more than one bank and II Is certain
that second will be established in
Crystal Falls in the near future. II
not once.
There has been some talk for the
past few months OF organizing trust
company entirely OF Iron county capt.
tai 10 operate here and take the place
OF second banking institution. The
desire seems 10 be that when the sec
ond bank is established here 1t be an
institution that can aid in the devolp-
ment OF our agricultural resources
and that its personnel be local or at
least local TO Iron county as local di-
rectors will have more interest in
building up the local business condi-
tions than outsiders.
The Diamond Drill hopes to see an
arrangement made whereby the agri-
cultural industry can be furthered.

superintendent Johnson has hit at
the social excuses OF our public
schools. II was high time that some
one took up the cudgel and attacked
this viper which Is rapidly eating
away at the heart OF true American
Democracy as established by the faith
ers.
But, Supt. Johnson confines his slam
at the pupils. II he Is to be effective
he must enlarge his sphere of action
and attack the teachers as well fol
much Of the present day frivolity of
our schools, much of the extravaganza
es complained of are traceable di-
rectly to the teachers.
We are told that the pay of the
teacher lie inadequate. IL Is made
quate 10 maintain teachers on the
scale that many present day teachers
attempt.
1t is true that extravaganza in dress
has gone TO such an extent that IL
mas disparaging influence upon the
schools and causes many boy and
girl TO quit school before they finish
the high school simply because they
are not so circumstapced that they
can dress as their companions do. II
Az likewise true that many OF the ex-
travagances i'm dress. especially of
the girls. Is aided and abetted by the
teachers who appear daily dressed in
silks and satins and change dresses
every morning, noon and night.
II In time to get down to brass tacks
all around; to bring school rooms back
10 a place where they will reflect the
three Rs and not stylesnops or beau
~ parlors
As Prof Johnson says. our schools
are roofing out the old-fashioned
ideas OF democracy and instituting in
their places snobbery and extrava-
gance.
