OF SCHOOLS
DISCUSSES WORK
FOR COMING Term
HIGH SCHOOL TO OFFER IN
: USUALLY ATTRACTIVE
COURSES

In discussing the re-opening of
the schools on Monday, Professor
Armitage. superintendent, said to-
day:
THE high school course of study
is an especially attractive one this
year. In addition to the regular
work offered in English, history.
science, language and commercial
subjects. there are three years of
work in sewing offered besides
classes in millinery, dressmaking,
and both free-hand and mechanical
drawing. There will be classes
formed in business English and
bookkeeping, and the standards of
work in the commercial department
the past year will be maintained.
plans are formed to have physi-
cal training in all the grades, and
to offer some work in sewing in the
upper grades, and to carry out the
work in music as well. A large part
of the building has been reprinted
and the equipment has been put in
good condition during the summer
vacation, under the direction of
Mr.. Duplanti, the janitor. The gym
nasium roof has been given a good
coat Of paint and other improve
ments are being made there.
Several students have already
reported and more will come in the
next few days. Yesterday Miss
Falvey of the grammar school, and
Miss Haskell, the domestic arts
and drawing teacher, reported for
work. The rest of the teaching force
is due to arrive on Saturday by way
of Reno.
"On Monday morning the classes
will all meet and the enrolment
will be taken and lessons assigned.
Regular classes will begin on Tues
day morning and will meet regu-
larly thereafter.
Some inquiries have come in as
to whether there will be evening
classes in the high school this year.
No plans have been made as yet,
but those who are interested in
such work will do well to write to
the superintendent stating the work
desired, and these communications
will receive proper attention. and
after the regular work is we'll
started, the matter of evening
classes will receive due attention,
and if justifiable, such courses will
be formed.
1T is earnestly desired that sc
far as possible all students report
to the superintendent office at the
high school building Friday or Sat-
urday. and especially any contem-
plating taking up school work who
are undecided al to the exact work
to be taken up by them this year.
Those coming in from other schools
should be sure to present their Gre
dentials, and pupils coming to the
school for the first time should pre-
sent accurate birth certificates, as
the number entering will be large
in any event.
"An earnest effort will be made
this year to conduct the school in
such a manner as to meet the needs
of the community in every way pos
sible, and to that end the superin-
tendent will be glad to meet pa
irons and others interested at his
office daily from this time on. Re-
member the school exists for the
benefits of your boy and girl. and
if you fail to make use of it the loss
will be to your boy and girl and
to yourself, and this loss will be
felt more keenly as the years roll
by"

TEACHERS PROTEST
SCHOOL BOARDPLAN
Ask SIS Per Cent Raise Imme-
diateIy Pending RecIassifi-
cation Report.

The council Of the High School
Teachers Association has filed with
the Board OF Education a brief pro-
testing against the reorganization
plan of the board. This is the first
school organization officially to an
nounce opposition to the proposed re-
organization.
The communication states that 'in
view Of the possibility that the re-
classification Commission may not
make it's report in time to have the
reclassification become effective for
rhe next school year. 1920-21, the as
sociation Is urging that an appropri-
alton be made assuring the teachers
OF an Increase in salary OF at least
s. per cent" This increase would be
effective until the recla assification.
The Board OF Education's salary re-
quests are not favored by the asso
citation. They urge higher salaries
setting forth salaries they think ade-
Quate. The council objects to the
sbolishment of long established heads
Of departments in high schools.
The reorganization plan, which was
submitted by the board to the Reclas-
sihcation Commission. provides for
changing the status of teachers The
association protests, stating that there
IS too much uncertainty and vague
ness as to promotions and salary.

SEVEN DEAD, FOUR DYING
FROM WOOD ALCOHOL

HARTFORD, Conn, Dec. 26.-Seven
men were dead, four others were re-
ported dying, and Frank Rose, a
saloon keeper, was held by police to-
day following a fatal Christmas cele-
bration.
Rose was charged by relatives of
>the dead men with selling wool alco-
hol, which had been colored to re-
semble whiskey.
Following complaint to the police
last night that one man had died and
two more were reported dying in city
hospitals, an investigation was start
ed by the authorities which resulted
in the arrest Of three men found with
a truck load of liquor near the sa-
looms owned by Rose. Rose is being
held on a charge of selling the
poison.
Ivan Rctuck, driver OF the truck
was arrested on charge of violating
the liquor laws and operating the
truck without license. Saul Joseph
and Nathan Salzberg, assistants, were
charged with violating liquor laws.
The police worked on the theory
that the proprietor of the saloon,
learning Of the deaths, became alarm
ed and ordered the liquor removed
from his premises. Federal agents
were notified and sent a man to in
yestigate. It is said the barrelcd
liquor seized bore no revenue stamps.

Was Only Partially
Clothed.

HEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 26.-The Do
lice today admitted that the finding
of the partially nude body Of a man
in a field near fernando, Miss, last

Though fernando Is in another
State, the circumstances surrounding,

the Mississippi county authorities.
The body was clothed in a top shirt,
undershirt, one sock, and one shcc.
No other clothing has been found.
Except for very small cut on tJe
knee, there are no marks of violence

BROTHERHOODS PREPARE
TO GET WAGE SHOWDOWN

The railroad brotherhoods are
strengtheing their lines preparatory
to demanding a Showdown" from
Director General Hines on their wage
demands before the roads are re-
turned to private ownership on
March 1.
Although the shopmen are the only
group of railroad workers who are
now before the Railroad Admins
tratfon with a specific demand for in
creased wages, the Brotherhood of
Trainmen and Enginemen are deeply
dissatisfied the settlement of
their case six weeks ago, and prob
ably will ask for reconsideration in
the near future.
The brotherhood chiefs are fear
full that the wages of the workers
will be reduced shortly after the re-
turn to the owners is effected and are
determined to guard against this
contingency. They probably will ask
Director General Hines to aid them
either in stabilizing wages at their
present level or in obtaining some
agreement with the railroad eXecu-
uves that a campaign to cut wages
will not be opened. The Administra-
tion will be asked for some guaran-
tee that Government standards in
fixing wages will not be cast to tho
winds as soon as Federal control is
scrapped.
The shopmen's demand for a 25 Fer
cent increase in wages was held in
abeyance last summer for a ninety
day period, pending the outcome of
Attorney General Palmer's drive to
reduce the cost of living. This pc
iod expired some time ago. and the
Attorney General makes the claim
that while there has been no reduc-
ton in the cost of living. the advance
has been stopped, and that in a few
more months the decline in CON-
modify prices will be marked.
The shopmen intend to press their
case to the limit within the next Few
weeks. No threats of a railroad
'trike are being made. but leaders
'mphasize that the temper of t,le
abroad workers is one of extreme
restiveness, particularly in view Of
the fact that they are not certain o.
the kind Of treatment they will got
when the roads go back to their
owners.

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, Dec.
Pa story of clandestine trysts,
told authorities by a Battle Greek
girl, promised today to throw some
light on the mystery surrounding

II was learned today that valuable
evidence was procured during the
questioning of the Battle Creek girl,

girl recently, and she and her sweet
heart had split"
Authorities learned Brown was to
have met the girl last Tuesday in De-
troit. but failed to do so. She came
here wednesday in search of him and
was held by the sheriff.

to have been seen riding In Browns s
automobile with Brown twelve hours
before the latter was killed. He has
not been arrested

A second suspect has so far failed
To offer a satisfactory alibi, and while
ne has not been taken into custody. he
is under constant surveillance, and,
authorities indicated, may be arrested
late today.
He came to Mt Clemens about four
days before Brown was killed, and is
known to have been with Brown re-
peatedly during this time This man
IL said to have admitted to the Of
fieers that he was with Brown until q
late hour the night of the killing.

eiared today. An autopsy yesterday
developed facts, which taken in con-
nection with those revealed by the

clues uncovered by detectives estab-
lish beyond doubt Sheriff Caldwill
declared. that Brown was killed by
some one sitting in rear seat of

Not To Prevent Return.
This must not be confused with the
idea advanced some time ago that the
railroad men would st rike in order to
prevent the return of the roads to
their private owners, as nothing of
the kind is contemplated.
I'VE are opposing the return Of the
roads to private control more on ac-
count of the effect it will have upon
US and the rest of the public as con-
sumers. such action necessitating, SO
it Is claimed. an increase in freight

Barcelona Celebrates Festival of Its Miracle
 Working Saint

This is the festival day of St. Ray mund of Pennafort and it will be observed with curious rites by the pious people of the island of Majorca, in the Mediterranean, and by the Catholic citizens of Barcelona, Spain. An ancient chapel on the Barcelona waterfront is the center of the St. Raymund's Day observance. This old building commemorates one of the most astounding miracles ever attri- buted to any saint, for it is said to mark the spot where St. Raymund landed after passing over 60 leagues of water, from Majorca to Barce- Iona, with his cloak as a vessel.
 St. Raymund was born in the twelth century and entered the order of St. Dominic. He was one of the founders of the Order of Our Lady ot Ransom for the Redemption of Cap tives. He first attained prominence by preaching a crusade against the Moors, who then held large part Of Spain, and was successful in restoring many thousands to Christianity. Toward the close of his life the saint accompanied King James of Aragon to the island of Majorca, and con- verted many of the pagan inhabitants. The Kings immortality so shocked the saint. however, that he expressed desire to return to Spain, unless the monarch would give up his evil prac- tices The King refused permission for the saint to leave and threatened with death any person who assisted him to escape.
 Of the miracle which is still con- memorated by the Spaniards, Butler says:
 ''The saint, full of confidence in God. said to his companions, A King of the earth endeavors to deprive us of the means of retiring, but the King of Heaven will supply them. He then walked boldly to the waters, spread his cloak upon them, tied up one corner of it for a sail, and having made the sign of the cross, stepped upon it without fear, whilst his tim orous companions stood trembling and wondering on the shore. On this new kind of vessel the saint was raft ed with such rapidity that in six hours he reached the harbor of Bar celona, 60 leagues distant from Ma jorca. Those who saw him arrive in this manner met him with acclama- tions. But he, gathering up his cloak dry, put it on, stole through the crowd. and entered his monastery. A chapel and a tower. built on the place where he landed. have transmitted the memory of this miracle to pos terity. This relation is taken from the earliest historians of his life.''
