The mutter was brought up by a ie
qulHllion fiom 1'rlnclpnl Jrant, who
ankod for tlu iuv?l,ne of u number
cf politltal ccromj text books for
use 111 the Hlgn school. Mr. Jennings
objected to the purchase of the books
on the ground that It was a new stmlv
and that the pupils In the High school
were .it the present time sludjlng too
many things and learning too little
of any of them.
"That'H light," H.ild Mi i:non.
Some of the pupils they'ie tinning
out fiom tlu commercial dcpattmmit
don't know an thing about writing
and many of them don't even know
how to ppell. It seems as If some

unfair to giant thfin diplomas simi

The coinmunle.itinn was leeched and

A communication was lead from lin
glneer llanls explaining that the n

would have to be changed In oider to

matter was tefoued for investigation

Noxt Week Colonel Hitchcock
Says City Needs a Paid File Dc
paitment at Once and Talks About
Thuisdny's Fire.
Thete Is a gioidug feui 011 the pint
of local Insurance men that the tire
insuiance nites for tho business por
tions of this city Mill be nilsed twenty
live per ccnl. at tliu meeting of the
dotuitment board ot underwtlleis,
which meets nevt Tuesday In Phila
delphia. The district ugtiits of all th big
Insurance companies have become
alarmed and It Is epected that some
talse in the lateii for the congested
parts of the city will be made next
week, and general iiitnor has it that
this 1 also will amount to tnonty-tlxe
percent, or perhaps cicn nune.
"Wo aie feaiful that there will bo a
big tulso In nites," said Colonel P. I.
Hitchcock, one of the most prominent
Hie Insurance ngents In the city. cs
terday. "The Hie insuiance companies
cannot bo blamed If such 11 i.ilse Is
made. They have put up with 11 jrie.it
many things In this city that au not
put up with In other places.
"The lates would hive been i.ilsed
two yeais ago bad It not been foi the
local boatd of undei Wllteis, which got
councils to buy otra hose. I'm nftald.
however, that our pleading will be of
no avail this time. Thete was no tea
sou whatever for the spie.td ot that
tho on Tlutisdny last. The amount
which the arIous companies will have
to pay out iu insurance for that Ihe
will ulmost equal the entlro amount of
the pieiniiims which will be paid hi
this city dining the year Pioi, and It
must be rcincmbeicd that the eai
has not yet urn two montli.
Ml'ST HAVH IT RIGHT WVAV
"We must lime a paid flic depail
ment hi this cltv, and we must have
It light av.nv. Councils must piovide
foi It The citizens of this city almost
to a man want It, nnd -what the people
want they geneially get. if they want
It bad enough. AVe must have 11 tie
paittnent In which older and discipline
prevails. Theie was none of It at
ThursdTj V fire. Thete seemed to be
no bead, no organization. I'veijhody
seemed to be chasing atound in a
wllly-nllly sort of a way.
"It has been chaigcd by some of the
firemen that the flio was not got under
contiol beeius- the water supply was
lusufllcient. I dispute that. The sup
ply was entirely sufllclent If they had
utilized It light. They should have
eoncentiuted the foice Into a. few
streams. Instead of Hpieadlng It Into
a large number. If tbnt had been done
the lire would have boon checked much
sooner than it was.
"Hut the need of n tialned Ihe-UslU-ing

patent throughout. Volunteer liteiiuu

not all be expected to risk their lives

' Not onlv do wo neeit a trained jiul

anv of those now in the city, and I
think It would be well to have ptu
chascd a new hook and ladder ttuck
with .1 water tower attachment, even
though the fliemen did attempt to
bum tho old one lust Thuisday."
The boaid of tiado is going to take
up the question of a paid Hie dep.ut

day night, when Secietaiy Atheiton
will bring up for eonsldeiatlon a u
poit adopted In 1S by the board,

Dr. Ploison said, for any reasoning
