Minneapolis, April 22.-Certair
Minneapolis school teachers are
trembling in their dancing shoe:
today.
They have been froxned upor
with a heavy official frown and booed
on with loud official boo by Super
intendent William F. Webster. Prin-
ciplas of grade and junior high
schools throughout the city are
on their trails.
Last year the school board paid
$500 TO substitutes, and this was
a lot too much" Mr.. Webster said
at principals meeting yesterday
1T was necessitated by two classes
of teachers-those not physically fit
ted to teach, and the shirkers.
What Webster Said.
IF a teachers health is such
that she can not do the work. she
applies to the first class. AS to the
Here Mr.. Webster warmed up tc
his subject.
There are teachers who stay ur
until. three or four O'Clock in the
morning. then stay away from schoo
the next day" he said. There are
teachers who are so worn out
week ending that they declare Mon
day a holiday. There were IS sub
stitutes called last week Monday
against the other days Of the week

illusions.
Must Mend Ways or Quit.
This does not apply TO the ma
iority Of teachers. but those TO whom
it does apply must eithsr stop it OIL
get out, and it is up to the princi-
pals to make them realize this"
Mr.. Webster also pointed out the
various qualifications a teacher mus
nave. and said that teachers will be
rated hereafter according to per
sonal appearance, use of English
manners, method of teaching, con
dition of class and classroom and
general results obtained. At lunch

Young Men Plunge
Selues Into Trouble
Petty Thieving At Waseca; TAX
en- Before Juvenile Court;
Charges Preferred.

Waseca, April 1.-two boys
spent all day Monday in the Vase
ca county Jail for petty crimes they
admit having done. Both the boys
gave their ages as under eighteen
and will be first taken before the
municipal Judge and then turned ov
er TO the judge of the Juvenile court.
Ralph Oake, one of the two boys,
confessed to stealing a pocket book
from Mrs. Hale, who cooks for her
son at his restaurant on the corner
of Second and Elm streets. Lawrence
Macoy, who has been working out
at the Tom Erwin farm, plead guilty
TO hitching up horse to buggy at
the farm he worked and then driv-
ing in to New Richland where he
sold both the horse and buggy for
$40.
Ralph Oake says that he stole the
pocketbook one week ago Monday.
he. was standing in the restaurant
getting warm and Mrs. Hale MOTTO

asked him TO go in by the fire in the
kitchen He went 10 the rear of the
building to warm himself he said,
and while there he noticed a pocket

Mrs. Hale made several sales
while the boy. was in the restaurant,
each time making chnge out Of the
pocketbook. After a while she said
that the boy went out; a little later
she noticed that the pocketbook was
missing from it's hook. The Oake
boy was closely questioned but it
was not until last Saturday that he
finally confessed to taking the pock-
etbok. Last Saturday several work
men cleaning up cess pool in the
rear OF the building discovered the
pocketbook. Mrs. Hale was then

will be turned over to the Juvenile
court as he is not eighteen yet. He
seems like a manly young fellow,
according to the county attorneys
office and it is hard 10 understand
what set of circumstances would
lead him to do such an act.
The Macoy boy was sent out from
Minneapolis school for orphan
children to work on the Tom Erwin
farm. He had evidently tired of
farm life after two weeks OF it and
so last Saturday afternoon he hitch
