some $50,000 worth of stock. and
asked for a letter of authorization. He
claimed to be in a great hurry with
only a few moments to spare to catch
a train. The letter was given him by
Mr. Davis. as president of the com—
pany. who relied on Rodlow's acquies-
ance to Hart's continued efforts.
It was about 7:30 o'clock Monday
night that Davis was summoned to

for authorizing him to sell stock. when
the exclusive mlo had been granted to
some one else, that suit would be in-
stituted at once. the factory closed and
his business ruined.
Davis asde for time to take the
matter up with the board of directors
of the company. but this was refused.
and the threats against him reiter-
ated. This was all stated in the writ
of application for the injunction.
Finally Davis agreed to write out
the checks and notes. whic liiotalled

told to a Scntinel reporter. lladlow
seemed to be satisfied with the check

Davis said. “but i could not help my-
self. and did not give them any inkl-

I can see the money was to be split

Three checks. one for 8500. two mi-

boy who kept the rest of the children
in tune with his tiny baton. The
Knudsen Kindergarten is in charge of
Mrs. Edwai‘dUI-‘ay, and the Misses
Horan and suxburit. .
In the at or musical numbers. sev-
eral of the classes appeared in cos-
tumes which were appropriate. One
class wore the Pilgrim costume: an-
other were in soidlens' uniforms and
still another crossed as were the vet-
erans of '76. _
In another song, a snow man con-
structed out of cotton was used.
The festival which will continue to-
night and tomorrow night. was staged
under the direction of Miss Mary C.
McCarthy. supervisor of music in the
grade schools and the Senior High
school. She was ably assisted by Mi-
Harrlet H. Parker. supervisor of
music in the Junior "High school and

the suspicion that Carter met with
foul play instead of committing sub.
eide is gaining credence. One of the
main items to discountenance the sub-
clde theory is the length of the shot

Carter pulling the trigger while hold-
ing the muxsle of the gun against his
body.
The location of the blood stain. the

MELT MONDAY
to believe the a 39‘ hour force
noon of modern school variety is not
likely to be over taxing to any p.pil
who is well enough to attend school.
However. since the question will el-
weys continue to arise. we should all
be posted. in a general way. as to
what is the quite univerml custom
among our American cities. In Feb-
ruary the National Bur u of Educ
cation. Department of t _ Interior
issued a bulletin giving the practice
of school districts in a large number
of cities ranging in population from
30,000 up. The report is for grades
1 and 2 and the average length of day
among all reporting is a little over
5 hours. with a very few cities much
lower. Covington Kn. three hours. in
the forenoen only. for the first grade
Washington. always extreme in every-
thing. has 8% hours. forenoon
only; Los Angeles and New York
city are among the few having a
four-hour day. Five hours seems to
be the popular. day and is observed
by Oakland. Cal, Denver. Bridgeport.
Wilmington. Del.. Indianapolis. Cam-
bridge, Fall River. Springfield. Mesa.
Detroit. Hinneapolis and many other
among the best known school systems
of the country.
Among the cities with still longer
days we note Grand Rapids. St. Louis.
Newark. Trenton and many others
with live and one-quarter hours;
while Jersey City. Paterson. N. 1..
Atlantic Ciw. Elisabeth. N. J. and
Canton. Ohio have five and a. half.
of course. Gary. Ind.. must be an ex-
treme and keeps the little c.dren
seven hours.
Thus with the American cities sv-
eraging over live hours for the pri-
mary school day we would seem to be
on the safe side with our four and
three-quarter hour day with the
larger part of it in the forenoon.
I want to‘tell you briefly about the
spelling contest among our dth. 5th.
6th and 7th grade pupils which will
be held next week. The scheme was
sprung upon the pupils'snddenly so
that the preparation. which consists
of arevlew for each grade of the
two and a half semesters‘ work in
the spelling book last pend over.
would not interfere too much with
the regular work.
As far as possible the teachers
have secured special spelling reviews
in home study and thus parents and
others have become interested.
The final contests, one for each
grade. will be held at the high .shool
building next week. Each grade
room may send nve contestants. A
room with two “ads. may send three
to each contest. A room with more
than two grades sends but one from
each grade.
Each grade will hold its eliminiat-
ing contests in the respective rooms
on the afternoon hams-alts final. Both
the eliminating and iinsl contests will
be part written and part oral. I be-
lieve this hasty brush up in spelling
and the fun and interest in the con-
tests will be good for the children
generally. I wonder if a history or
geography or arithmetic contest—-
sprung upon the schools some time
next yeah—wouldn't bring helpful re-
suits.
Very truly you".
