HEYL PRESENTS HIS RESIGNATION BOARD WILL TURN OUT IN A BODY AT THE FLAG RAISING AT THE J. S.

RICHARDS BUILDING, ON FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 26 RE PORTS OF SUPERINTENDENT AND COMMITTEES." The September meeting of the School Board was held last evening, 43 mem bers answering at roll call. President Benjamin F. Hunsicker was in the chair and Secretary Francis Roland, recorded the minutes. The first report taken up was that of Superintendent Charles S. Foos, which was as follows: "Schools opened on Monday, Sept.

8, with an enrollment of 11,673, distributed as follows: High schools, 598; grammar, 857; advanced secondary, secondary, advanced primary, primary, 3,473. estimated enrollment at the opening of the schools in 1901 was 10,838. "The total enrollment at'the beginning of the second week was 11,723, distributed as follows: High schools, 602; grammar, 867; advanced secondary, secondary, advanced primary. primary. 3.531.

"The total enrollment at the same time last years was 11,405, distributed as follows: High schools, 626; grammar, 736; advanced secondary, secondary, advanced primary, 3.411; primary, 3,358. "These figures show a total increase of 318; a decrease of 24 in the High schools; an increase of 131 irt the grammar grades; an Increase of 77 in the advanced, secojidatxan, uicre.evof 12S I In the secondary a decrease ot 168 in the advanced primary, and a'i increase of 173 in the primary. For" tbe Increase in the grammar grades three additional grammar schools were opened; for the increase in the other grades no addl tlonal schools were opened; but the pupils were more uniformily distributed. Two advanced primar" schools were dissolved and the "pupils transferred to neighboring schools. "The present figures show average of 39.4 pupils to the teacher, in the grammar grades; 38.6 in the advanced secondary; 39.2 in the secondary; 39.2 in the advanced primary grades, and 33.6 in the primary grades.

SATISFACTORY REGRADING. "The work of regrading the schools under the direction of a special com mittee of the teachers committee and the superintendent is progressing satisfactorily. The committee, in accordance with the action of the Board, is putting the new plan into immediate effect wherever it is practicable. 1 All the schools in the city are now working under the eight year plan. This was accomplished by forming the secondary and advanced secondary grades into the fifth and sixth grades respectively.

The teachers in the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Tenth and Fifteenth wards and several in the Second and Sixteenth wards have not yet been assigned to separate grades, but this will be done as soon as possible. The committee has endeavored to place each pupil in the grades to which he or she is adapted, and teachers have been informed to measure as accurately as possible the capacity, of their pupils, so that, if necessary, readjustments may be made and all pupils put exactly where they belong. The work has been done with only one object In view, namely, the best interests of the pupils, in this connection it might be well to add that it is as harmful to a child to be graded to high and to have to grope with work that is too difficult, as it is to be graded too low, THE EXAMINATIONS. "The special committee appointed to investigate the present plan of conduct ing examinations will report tonight find I heartily recommend the adoption f.f this report. President Hunsicker, In Ijiis annual address, first called attention to several evils of our present plan, and the investigation of the committee fully corroborates all that he said at the time.

The general plan of examinations now in practice in the schools is an examination in each branch of study or.ce a month and an additional examination at the close each of the three teims, making In all about a dozen. In many instances this is the only means of determining the standing of pupils, anc their advancement or non ad varrement depends entirely on their abil ty to make the necessary average at tiese periodical written tests. in ny opinion, this puts a premium on i xaninations. It makes then unduly impotant. The more Important they aie.

he greater the danger of evils arising from them. 1 Examinations shoulc it seems to me, be nothing more than lsts to ascertain whether pupils have hasped the general principles of a studied and a guide to the teachei to indicate to her whether her instrucion hag been understood and To hold the child entirely re sponsibl. for something it may not have gr.sped is manifestly unfair, especially vhere the work of the rest of he inonh has been entirely Ignored I thts hjid's standing determined 1 alone by the examination. In my opinion, each day's work should be equally important and should count equally in determining the standing of pupils, no matter whether the tests be written or oral, TRACING'THE EVILS. "Several of the evils alleged to exist can, in my opinion, be traced to our present plan of examinations, for In the sections of the city where, the system prevails in all its rigor, complaints of the overtaxing of children are more frequent than in sections where it has been moderately Much of this overtaxing is unquestionably due to these examinations.

Ambitious pupils are constantly at a high' tension, constantly kept in mind that they must have a certain 'stock in and unless they have they are reduced in rank. "Monthly examinations, used as the only means of determining the standing of pupils, are vicious, not only in the fact that they overtax pupils, but they prevent the true aim of education. Frequently examinations! must necessarily narrow instructions, create mechanical methods and bring about unfortunate habits of study. Pupils are simply being or prepared to pass examinations. Each branch of learning is reviewed for probable examination questions.

Pupils con their books for what may be asked at the approaching examination, instead of trying tQ grasp the general principles of a subject. Education thus fails of its primary objects, namely, the acquisition of knowledge, the development of power, the development of character. "Dr. Emerson E. White well puts it when he says: 'Examinations have perverted the best efforts of teachers, and narrowed nd grooved their instruction; they have occasioned and made well nigh imperative the use of mechanical and rote methods of teaching; they have occasioned cramming and other vicious habits of study; they have caused much of the over pressure charged upon the "A third objection to the examination system is that it tempts pupils to be dishonest.

In fact, among many pupils it is considered 'smart' to circumvent the teacher by cheating. To children, as a rule, cheating seems Jiarmless, and yet does it not have the tendency to help along the idea that seems to be gaining ground In our modern life, that a certain amount of dishonesty in the affairs of life is business acumen and absolutely essential to success? I believe that this condition In adult life ha In a measure its beginning in school cheating. The more that is at stake in these examinations for teacher and pu pil alike, the greater the tendency to dishonest methods. WASTE OF TIME. "Still another evil of frequent examinations is the waste of time and energy.

From information I have the monthly and term examinations consume from twenty to thirty days of the school years according as a teacher deems them important. This does' of the time spent in preparation. It is needless for me to dwell on the energy both teacher and pupil con sume in going through these ordeals. the monthly system 4s unjust to the pupil, It puts a premium on the examination days and absolutely sets aside the work of the other days. As I have already Intimat ed, it seems to me that if a system of averages is of any advantage to de termine the rank of a pupil, such averages should be the result of the work of each day and not simply of an examination, held, perhaps, when a pupil may be indisposed.

Then, too, some pupils can never pass examinations to advantage. For these all the good work of the term counts for naught. METHODS THAT RETARD. "Laying aside the fact that frequent examinations cause overpressure of pupils, that they retard rational methods of instruction, that they encourage dishonesty, that they are unjust, the most serious objection to a rigid system of examinations is the effect it has upon sensitive, nervous pupils. I know it is sometimes urged that only the unprepared and dull, fearing the results ot failing at examinations, are physically affected, but this I think cannot be substantiated.

Physicians and parents might testify of many fine grained, sensitive, brilliant boys and girls ruined mentaly and physically by nervous disorders resultant from examinations. "The movements against examinations as the only means of determining the fitness of pupils has resulted in their entire abolition in many places and the curtailment of their importance in others. "Monthly examinations in schools in other cities are'now rare. In a circular of information, way back in 1891, Issued by the United States Bureau of Education, we may read, that monthly examinations are now found in few schools. "It seems to me that the evils of examinations may in part be averted by lessening their importance and by having the term work play a larger part.

REOMMENDATIONS. "I recommend that a competitive ex amination to fill the vacancy In the fac ulty of the Boys High school, caused by the resignation of Di. Paul R. Heyl, be held in the Boys' High school building, Saturday, Sept. 20, 1902, at 9.00 a.

and that applicants be examined in physics, theory and laboratory work and algebra. "I recommend that the teachers' committee be instructed to open night schools whenever it be deemed expedient. "The following is the record of attendance at the Reading teachers' institute, held in the Girls' High school, September 4, 1902: Number of teachers In employ of the Reading School district, 323; number of teachers attending institute, 317; number of teachers absent on account of sickness, total number of days' attendance, total number of days' absence, average daily per cent, of attendance, 99V4 INSTITUTE TREASURY.

Special to The Times. in the Isthmus of Panama has become so seriously complicated that instruc tions were today sent to Minister Hart, at Bogota, Colombia, to call on President Marroquin, of Colombia, and demand a full explanation. This action was taken as the result of a dispatch from Captain McLean, of the Cincinnati, received today, saying that when he went by train across Panama yes terday the train was stopped twice by These are the officers of. the associa obstructions.

move the obstructions, but stood on the Marshall, Philadelphia; corresponding track. By direction or captain McLean the train moved and compelled the soldiers to jump away. Officials here do not believe the soldiers have the approval of the government, but no matter where the responsibility lies, it is the intention of the United States to have a complete explanation. The obstruction of trains is a violation of treaty rights. If done without the knowledge of the government, it should be disavowed.

Captain McLean's task requires delicate handling to avoid a clash with Colombian soldiers. MILKMEN UNDER ARREST PURE FOOD INSPECTOR SIMMERS FINDS THEIR MILK AND CREAM ADULTERATED WITH FORMALDEHYDE AND BORACIC ACID. Allentown, Sept. 16. Pure Food Inspector R.

M. Simmers, of the Department of Agriculture, lodged complaint against eight milkmen of this city before Alderman Mertz yesterday. The charge against each is adulterating milk and cream. The hearings will take place upon the arrival of Mr. Simmers, who has been away since the warrants were issued.

Inspector Simmers was in Allentown some time ago and examined the milk and cream of all the milkmen and took samples along for analysis. In All the samples of the accused milkmen adulteration was easily discerned. In some of the samples formaldehyde was found and in others boraclc acid. The former acid is used for keeping the milk sweet three or four days and is severe on children nursing from a bottle. The cases will be pushed to the extreme end.

The maximum penalty is $100 fine and the minimum 50. A HOODOO BURNED INDIANS DRAG TO DEATH ONE OF THEIR NUMBER WHO KILLED A WOMAN RECENTLY. ISpeclal to The Tlmea.l San Bernandino, Sept. 6. ueorge an Indian, Killed his sis ter ln law some time ago because she "cast the evil eye" on him.

HE CANNOT STAND ON IOWA PLATFORM DOES JMOT BELIEVE TRUSTS CAN BE CURED BY FREE TRADE AND, BELIEVING THAT HE NO LONGER REPRESENTS THE TARIFF VIEWS OF HIS CONSTITUENTS, HE DECLINES TO BECOME A I CANDIDATE FOR ANOTHER TERM, THEREBY STARTLING THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE FOLLOWED HIM. tSpecl.il to The Times. 1 Dubuque, Iowa, Sept. 16 Speaker Henderson this afternoon announced his' Withdrawal from the congressional contest. His manager declared that the action was taken after due delibera tion extending over a period dating from the time the Iowa Republican convention adopted the platform advocating the removal of "duties that afforded shelter to monopolies." The expression Is general that he withdrew fearing defeat.

Speaker Henderson in his letter of declination expressed his belief that there is a growing sentiment among the Republicans of his district that he does not truly represent their new tariff views. He adds: "Knowing that I do not agree with many people that trusts, to which I am and have been opposed, can be cured or people benefited by free trade in whole or part, I must decline to accept the nomination." He promises later to give his views why the Republican party and its policies should continue In the confidence of the people. The Speaker's withdrawal came like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

King Edward's anger against the Due d'Orleans, the pretender to the French throne, has not been entirely removed. When the Due arrived in England recently he asked that he might be permitted to visit the King. The latter replied in the most chilling manner, and it is more than likely the French pretender will not present himself in the royal presence. The King's displeasure dates back more than a year. In La Rire, of Paris, there appeared a caricature of the late Queen Victoria.

The Due d'Orleans wrote to the editor of La Rire, congratulating htm on the caricature, and this made him persona non grata at the court of St. James. OPERATORS FIRM. President Baer Says They Will Stick and Win. Special to The Times.
