SUPT. SOLDAN FAVORS
THE USE OF TEXT-BOOKS.
4dresaea School Principal SnBgreat-
lnjr Method of Instruction In
Arithmetic and Luneoogci.
A meeting of the principals of the public
achools was held yesterday In the Board
of Education building to receive the reports
of the committees appointed last spring to
revise the course of study.
The report of the Committee on Lan
guages was made by Miss F. M. Bacon, and
of the Committee on Arithmetic by J. W.
Hall.
At the end of the reading of the reports
Superintendent Soldan made an address to
the principals, review Ing the work of re
vision and making suggestions as to the
method of instruction to be followed. He
spoke for fifty minutes, and his remarks
were received with the greatest attention
and appreciation, as evidenced by the ap
plause. 'in dlscutslng the study of arithmetic, Sir.
Soldan dwelt particularly upon the point
that in the teaching of this branch of
study "thought orocesses" were far more
desirable than mere mechanical processes,
and would prove of far more value to the
pupil In mastering the lessons. In the very
early work, ho said, where lessons must
be memorized, of course mechanical meth
ods must be depended upon more than
thought processes.
Taking up the study of languages the
speaker said that when he first began his
career as an educator, thirty-four years ago,
he was an advocate of the oral system
of education over the use of text-books.
Els ideas on this point have changed ma
terially of late years, after a thorough
study of both methods, and he now believes
that the student will receive more material
benefit) from the use of text-books than by
-the oral method exclusively. He believes
the use of.. text-books in connection with
";pral education not only helps the bright
'pupil, but Is of Inestimable assistance to
the slew, duller-wltted scholar.

SOCIALISTS ATTACK
KRUPP'S METHODS.
"Vorwaeris" Asserts That Gun
maker's Pension System Is
" "Hefined Swindling."
STORM OF DEBATE IS RAISED.
Political Supporters of the News
paper Call Attention to Alleged
Degenerating Influences of
Great Wealth.
Berlin, Nov. 23. The socialist organ, Vor
waerts. In a page and a hulf to-day deals
with what it calls tho "hypocrisy of ideal
izing Herr Krupp as a benevolent genius."
The paper does not touch on the immedi
ate charges which It brought against the
deceased, but analyzes the pension system
of the Krupp firm, which, it says, is "a
bpecies of relined swindling." adding:
"Tho enormous so-called benevolent funds
have been built up by compulsory contri
butions from the employes who could be
arbitrarily deprived of participation In the
advantages.
"They are required to contribute I!4 per
cent of their wages for twenty years before
they are eligible to a pension upon disa
bility. In the meantime, if an employo is
discharged or resigns, he losts all he has
contributed, often exceeding $200. Thus em
ployes are morally and economically ter
rorized and must In humility accept every
petty regulation of the firm's officials or
lose 2& per cent of what they have earned
in the Arm's service. This terrorism is ap
plied to political opinions where they be
come known. The number of men leaving
or discharged during the past three years
averaged 7,000 to 8,000 yearly. The employs
found the system so unsatisfactory that
five great meetings were held this year for
the purpose of seeking legal rtaress."
The Vorwaerts cites an instanco of a
labor representative on the Advisory Com
mittee of the benevolent pension fund who
mildly criticised the management, and who.
several days later, having in the meanwhile
paid his annual dues, was dismissed.
The paper also quotes the German Budget
Committee proceedings as showing that the
Krupp wcrks have been charging the navy
J10D per ton above what the United States
pays for nickel steel, amounting yearly to
SKo.009 for Herr Krupp and the Stumm
works.
The attacks on Herr Krupp and the In
tense sensation they have caused has raised
a furious political discussion, the Socialists
calling attention to the degenerating in
fluence of great wealth and Uio Conserva
tivos pointing out "the desperate charac
ter of the socialist attack upon the existing
order of society."

John Stafford White, an Archi
tect, Recovers From Assault
Committed Ten Days Ago.
TELLS ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCE.
Robbers Leave Him Only a Water
bury Watch, His Temporary
Timepiece, and Remembrance
of Exciting Affair.
John Stafford White, architect and well
known clubman, was sufficiently recovered
from the effects of an assault committed
by highwaymen last week to appear again
at his office. No. 1301 Chemical building,
yesterday.
lie has found no trace of the robbers, who
relieved him of a purse containing a few
dollars and some valuable papers, a hand
some seal ring1 and a scarfpln.
It happened that his watch was at the
Jeweler's for repairs, and at the time of
the assault he was wearing a Waterbury
timepiece, which the thieves scorned.
Mr. White was seriously bruised, evident
ly by the boots of the highwaymen, and
for several days ho remained In his apart
ments. Yesterday the bears from the mal
treatment were only noticeable In the black
rings about his eyes.
The assault occurred near midnight at the
entrance to the alley Just north of the Uni
versity Club, at Grand and Washington
avenues.
Mr. White had come out of the clb to
go to his home, and, upon passing the al
ley, he heard the footsteps of two men rap
Idly approaching from the dark entrance.
STltUCK BLOW FROM BEHIND.
The architect has to a certain extent kept
up his college training In athletics', and. sus
pecting an assault, he was upon the point
of turning to give the men a fistic argu
ment. Before he had squared himself for
the attack, however, he received a blow on
the jaw from behind that put him down
and out.
Kealizing their advantage, the highway
men landed a sufficient number ot kicks
ond blows upon tho prostrate clubman to
render him Insensible while they searched
him. So far as Mr. White knows, not a
word was spoken.
When he revived several minutes later,
he found himself bleeding from lacerations
about the face, and with pains In his sides
that made It difficult for him to move. The
third finger of his left hand alBo pt'.ied
him, for In their haste the robbers had
snatched off the ring, which has heavy and
tlght-Httlng.
At that moment the friends of Mr. "White,
would not have recognized him when
he returned to the University Club to call
a carriage and notify the police of the as
sault. CLOTHES TORN BY ROBBERS.
His pockets were turned Inside out. his tie
torn from the collar by the highwaymen
when they grabbed a handsome scarf sin,
and mud and dirt covered him.
Mr. White reported the robbery at the
Eighth District Police Station, but was un
able to give a description of the thieves
zor me reason tnai ne naa not seen mem.
He stated, however, that both the ring
and pin were of unique design, and with
tho hope that eventually they may be found
In some pawnshop he described these ar-
He ' congratulated himself Uiat his own
watch was at the Jeweler's when he was
assaulted, and smiled grimly to his friends
when telling of the way the robbers had

temporarily, and then left It dangling from
nis muu-Despauerea ciomes. :
When questioned yesterday, Mr. White I
declined to discuss the details ot tne ron
b;ry. Ho thinks It is not possible that the
culprits will be apprehended.
NEWMAN CASE IS NONSUITED.
Judge Fisher Kuled Against Hiin j
in Wiggins Ferry Matter.
Under the rullnes of Circuit Judge Fisher.
Doctor I B. Newman, took a nonsuit yes
terday In his case against the "Mercantile
Trust Company, and others lor $13,0CO for
190' shares ot stock In the Wigsina Ferry
company.
Doctor Newman, as trustee of the estate
cif his father, the lata Socrates Newman,
agreed, last April, to sell the stock for J500
u share to the Mercantile Trust Company,
which was actliur for the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific Railway Company. Be
transferred the certificates of stock and re- .
celVftd a nhnck for S&O.Odft I
The agreement to sell, contained a clause
that the Mercantile Trust. Company, need
not accept the stock If the owners of a
majority of the "Wiggins stock did not agree
to sell by May 5. Doctor Newman claimed
that a majority of the stock owners did
not agree to seil. He tendered the 3S0.UU0
back, to the "Mercantile Trust Company and
demanded the stock. The money was not
accepted nor the stock returned.
Judge Fisher ruled that when Doctor
Newman transferred the certificates of
stock and accepted the check for $50,000,
the transaction was closed. The court held
there was no misrepresentation or conceal
ment on tho part of Istus J. Wade, presi
dent of the Mercantile Trust Company or
John Scullln, of the Wiggins Ferry Com
pany, both of whom were made defendants
Tilth the Mercantile) Trust Company, and
the Rock 'Island Company In tho suit.
The parties to the transaction, the Judge
said, were not obliged to give any Infor
mation other than was given, unless It was
asked for, and that Doctor Newman had
ample time to Inform himself. Judge Fisher
also held the opinion that the transaction
was not dependent on agreements made
by tho Mercantile Trust Company with
other parties In regard to the purchase of
stock.
The suit grew out of the contest between
the Mercantile Trust Company and the Mis
sissippi Valley .Trust Company, last spring
to secure a controlling Interest In the Wig
gins Ferry Company.

you of that terrible feeling of
exhaustion.
And besides there are the
children to think of. A dose
or two at the right time often
means so much.
