ALLEGED STRIKERS
HELD FOR ASSAULT
Garbage Hauler Accuses Three
of Attack at City Dump
in Early Morning.

Charged with assaulting W. F. Hut
ton at the city dump, when Hutton
hauled load Of garbage there Thurs
day morning, w. Reynolds, John G..
Spence and G.. Helder, alleged to be
members Of the Federal labor union,
will be tried this friday morning
at 10 o'clock in the Wilson justice
court, unless the trial is postponed
until afternoon because prosecutors
from the county attorneys office have
their attention occupied by confisca-
ton hearing at the courthouse.
The three defendants were arraign-
ed Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock
and through their attorney, w. P. Cos
tello, entered pleas Of not guilty. They
were released on their own recogniz
ance. Soon after leaving the court,
the men swore out complaint against
Hutton. whom they charged with third
degree assault. Hutton will not be
arraigned until this morning but the
court allowed his release without hold
ing him to bail.
Hutton alleges that the men struck
him after he had refused their de-
mands that he climb down from the
wagon. When accosted BY the pickets,
Hutton told them that be was using
his own equipment and was compelled
to haul garbage in order to obtain the
funds necessary to care for a sick
family. He told the men that he was
too weak to offer resistance as he had
Just recovered from siege of typhoid
ever. Before he could remonstrate
my further. Hutton alleges, he was
ragged from his wagon and otherwise
handled in rough fashion. According
o Huttons statement, his son was also
aiken from the wagon, was called indie

June Bride Crop
Only 50 Per Cent
Of 1920 Season

One crop in Cascade county has
already failed. 1t Is tho June bride
crop. Only 80 marriage licenses
were taken out during the month,
less than half Of the number issued
In June Of 1920. Eighty was the
mark last June.
It is difficult to account for
June's slump in popularity as a
marriage month. Cascade county Is
not tho only part Of the state at
fectsd. Other counties report low
marks. Most of the largo cities in
the country are announcing the low
est run Of marriage licenses for
years.
General unemployment through
out the country is regarded as the
chief reason for the decline in the
number Of applicants.

During the year two teachers re-
signed and 1t was necessary to fill
the vacancies. which was done with
out loss of time to the children. Mrs.
Wissenbach who taught the fourth
grade at the East Ward was married
and resigned for that reason. Miss
Helen Irving who taught the fifth
grade at Central was elected County
Superintendent and resigned upon
taking up the duties OF her new Of
kASS. was ~ -
the former position. One teacher
was added to the teaching staff this
year, in the Department. The De-
partment "a too large and the work
too heavy for three teachers which
made 1t necessary to engage an addi-
tional teacher. Miss Forbes. This ar
rangement also made 1t possible for
n of the Department teachers, Mrs.
Patrick, to devote a little time to
supervising penmanship in the De-
partment as we'll as in the fifth and
sixth grades. This work has proved
very valuable and has resulted in
marked improvement in ~penmanship
in those grades. 1t is hoped that this
plan or a similar m can be arranged
for next year., SO that the work in
penmanship will receive the atten-
ton that it deserves.
The teachers IN the force compare
very f vorably with those Of other
school systems Of equal size, both as
to training and experience. In order
to keep the standard up, the Board

This test showed that both Bird
grades were about a year behind
where they should be. Both 4th
grades were practically up to stand
ard. Miss Irving's (Smith's) 5th
grade was almost up to standard.
Miss Hammond's 9Th grade was more
than a year below standard. Both
9Th grades were nearly a year behind
whc'e they should be. The 7th and
Sth grades were almost a year and a
half below standard.
l, order to remedy this condition
and improve the work in spelling,

An examination u Tic IeSulto
shows that none of the grades meas
urcd up to the standard in arithme-
tic. 1t was evident that the pupils
were lacking in the four fundament-
al operations of arithmetic and that
extra attention would have to be
given to this phase OF the work. The
pupils were not so far behind in
speed as they were In accuracy. Also
we found that the pupils were a
er in division than in my other OF
the fundamental operations.
1t was apparent that the thing
most needed in arithmetic was drill
in the fundamental operations. In
order that the pupils might get this
drill one Of the best arithmetic drill
devices on the market was pro-
cured, namely the S~tudebaker
Economy Practice Exercises in Arith-
metic. This drill consists of printed
cards with problems in the four
fundamental operations of graded
difficulty, SO arranged that the pupils
progress through these cards at vary
ing rates Of speed. depending upon
the ability Of the pupil. Upon COM

Horizons 9Th grade which was above
the standard in speed. The 18th and
Sth grades were above the standard
In both quality and speed. In order
to improve the work in writing. it
was arranged that Mrs. Patrick OF
the Department. who had lone a
good deal OF work OF this kind
should devote a portion Of her time
to the supervision of penmanship
from the fifth grades through the
Department. The plan has worked
very well and has been productive
OF excellent results.
, 1921-05-05

In the rate of reading the two 9Th
grades were much behind; the two
9Th grades and the 2rd and 4th East
were somewhat behind: the Sth
grade and the 4th West tpractically)
were up to standard, while the 3rd
West and It'll exceeded the standard.
IN comprehension of matter read all
of the grades were below standard
with the exception of Miss Horizons
9th which WIS practically up to
standard. A high rate Of reading
ability with a low comprehension
score is of little value. A silent
reading test is of more value than m
oral test. 1t is not a question of how
rapidly or tluently a pupil reads. but
the important thing is the degree of
comprehension with which he reads.
We are more interested in thought
getting than fluency or beautiful eX-
preston in reading.
One Of the most important sub
jects in the school curriculum is that
of reading. The children should be
encouraged to do much reading out
side OF school hours. One of our
important aims in the teaching of
reading should be to create a love
and desire for the reading OF good
Literature. The pupils should be en-
J couraged to borrow books from the
school library for home reading, also
to read the newspapers and good
magazines. The teachers should en-
courage. aid and direct this work as
much as possible, and parents can
also do much in the way of en-
coura ging and directing home read
ing.
The fourth test in the series OF
five standard tests was the Courts
Arithmetic. This test was given from
the 4th grade through the 9Th grade,
1t is designed to test accuracy and
speed in the four fundamental opera
lions Of Arithmetic. The results

The fifth and last OF the standard
tests given was the Stone Reasoning
Test in Arithmetic. The previous
arithmetic test was designed to test
the pupils speed and accuracy in the
four fundamental operations In
arithmetic. The purpose OF the
Stone Test is to measure the pupils
power of reasoning and analysis in
arithmetical problems. The result OF
this test were as follows:

=. Analysis of Results
The results in this test we're even
less satisfactory than in the proceed
ing tests. II is quite evident that our
pupils are deficient in arithmetic for
some reason or other and it will be
necessary for us to discover the rca-
son and remedy if possible. In the
two grades and Il 9Th Nudd) none
of the students reached the standard
Miss Horizons 9th grade
made the best showing. But no
class came within G5 per cent Of the
standard. a study of the above table
shows that the accuracy is better
than the score. In other words. the
pupils are fairly accurate but are too
slow in solving problems involving
reasoning. The reason that we fell
down so low in this test is that the
pupils did not solve anywhere near
as many problems MS they should in
Il given time.

This makes our average rank

show that Wyoming as a whole is be-

These tests are to be given again
this month May to determine what
progress has been made during this
school year. We hope that the re-
suits will show considerable i'm
provement all along the line.
VI. Individual Differ, noes Among
Children
One of the biggest problems that
every school system has to face is the
fact Of individual differences among
children. 1t is impossible in prac-
tice to get groups of children togeth-
er in the same grade all of. whom
have the same ability. There are
age differences and mental differ
cnces. some are rapid and some are
slow. some are bright and others are
dull. In order to deal intelligently
with these children it is necessary

that are retarded or who are too old
for their grade, and those who are

grade.
Out Of $40 total cases 2SS cases
or 53 per cent are normal. GS cases
or l2k per cent accelerated, and
1874 cases or 34R per cent are re-
tarded. 1t must be apparent even to
a casual observer hat such a varia-
ton within the same group or grade
makes instruction Il complicated
matter.
But a more accurate index of in
dividual as we'll as group abilities
a be secured through the use of
intelligence tests. For this purpose
the Otis Group Intelligence Test was
selected and given in all the grades
from the first through the High
School. This test is somewhat SINH
lar to the mental tests hat We're
used in the army. 1t is designed to
test the native intelligence or inner
ent brightness of persons independ-
cnt of their school work. The re-
suits of such a test are valuable for

The enrolment in the high school
is not as large as it should be for a
town of this size. Evidently pupils
have not entered the high school in
as large number as they should. and
many Of those who have entered the
high school have not stayed to finish
their course. We must make every
effort to induce a greater number of
pupils to finish the high. school
course. The figures given above
show that the enrolment at the East
Ward has exceeded that OF the West
Ward by %. This is accounted for
by the fact that most Of the children
who live south Of the tracks, and
there are a good many, 60 to the East
Ward.
