Superintendent Brooks' Report.
AS STATED In The Tribune not
long ago, Philadelphia's board
of education dc-clded during
the spring of the piesent year
to give to the piincipals of the public
schools of that city the admlnistiation
of a new system of promotion fiom
grade to crade. This system consisted
in promotion without passing an ex
amination of Mich pupils as the princi
pals weie satisfied would fully sustain
themselves In the next higher giade.
The other pupils were at liberty to pie
sent themselves lor a wilt ten examin
ation of the usual character. As it was
not until a few weeks befoie the close
of the school year that this was de
cided upon, theie hdd not been lntio
duced the system of the Brooklyn
schools, of the teachers' monthly aver
ages, which has been for some years
productive of eminently satlsfactoiy Je
suits. On Tuesday, July 9, Superintendent
Brroks submitted to the Philadelphia
hoard of education his repoit on the
w ci king of the new rule for exemptions
fiom examination. He says:
"The new rule has been as satisfac
tory In Its application as could have
'been anticipated. The large majority
of principals exercised gieat caie in
making out their lists of exempted
pupils, thus Justifying the confidence
placed in them by the board In the
adoption of the new rule. It Is es
pecially notable that the principals of
the iChools who In previous yeais had
the Hest recoids In the examination of
thelrjmpHs for promotion to the higher
seho-ys were most conservative m their
recomm"ndations for exemptions. This
action of principals Is w 01 thy of com
menrhjtlon, as It not only adds strength
to thft tule. but Is a guaranty that the
pupils' admitted Into the higher schools
will be found rjualifled for their work.
"The total number of pupils enrolled
In tht eighth grade on June I last was
3,473. C The number of pupils recom
mended for promotion without examin
ation was 1.901. or 55 per cent, of the
snrollment. The number of pupils who
presenttd themselves for examination
was t.:'S. or 37 per rent, of the enioll
nient,. Of these 493, nr 39 per cent.,
mndeithe required nveiages, making
the tjtal number admitted by cxemp-
tlon nd examination 2,393, or 69 per
cent. 'of the entollment. In 1S99, under
the examination rule, 60 per cent, of
the. ppplls enrolled on Juno 1 made the
requltpd average; and In 1900 60 pei
cent, lof the number eniolled June 1
made'Cthe average for admission."
The Philadelphia experiment will
piobably Tesult In an adoption at no
distant day of the method of piomotlon
by monthly and term averages in all
cases.
Harvard-university's Summer School
has a. large number of Cuban and Porto
rtlrart teachers in attendance upon It,

young In those two Islands Is among
the most promising of events for the
future of their people.

effort to get It to give ltn voclfeious
bess a rest on Sundays the fear wna
expressed that unless vlcllnnre v,a
asserted hy public opinion the park
npproiches would soon witness a mul
tiplication of objectionable feature.
This fear Is being realized. Instead
of one calliope near the Mulberry stieet
entrance there are now two. and us
accessories of the new one there are ,i
phonograph, games of chance, nnd al
most cery other attribute of Coney
Island except the megaphone and bill

of the Amalgamated Association of

defiantly In the course of a confeienco
meant to be amicable and conciliatory,
demanding that it, In effect, compel all
Its non-union emplojcs to Join the
union, a geneial strike has been or
deied, affecting 44,000 men who aie
members of Shaffer's union nnd 9'3,000
men who cannot work while the other
woikmen nio stiiklng. The thte.it
made by Shaffer Is that cveiy plant

had been enjoined by court from con

to obey the older of couit nnd weie

a heavy penalty. As a token of le
sentment. thieats are now being made
of a general stiike In Paterson's silk
mills.
This spirit among many leadeis of
labor Is the spirit of mischief, which
bodes as little good for th working
men In whoso nominal behalf It Is as
serted as It bodes tor the community
in general. It Is labors legal right, if
no contract prevents, to stilko when
and as often as It pleases; but it Is
the moral duty of all citizens to bo
Industrious, peaceful and well-disposed
toward their fellow-men; nnd those
who arc quarrelsome, mutinous and
unreasonable ate hound, sooner or
later, to get Into seilous tiouble a
plight chargeable only to themselves.

Better Outlook for Conrjress.
THE TRIBUNE it glad-after
having given the put port of
apparently nutioritativo
dispatches from Washing
ton to the effect that the United States
government had listened to Chile to
the extent of excluding "piebent mat
teis of dispute" from the arbitration
discussions of the Pan-American con
gressto find that this Is not the case.
Tho "tentative progiamme" has now
been published with "arbitration"'
down in the fiist place thereon, with
out limit, or qualification. The con
gress Itself Is to decide whether or not
there shall be any. The Washington
authorities are also evidently very
hopeful that when the time for the
concress actually arrives, all of the
South American republics will have
decided it to be the part of wisdom
to be there represented and take their
part In shaping conclusions. Vor her
own sake, It Is now thought, that Chllo
will send Its delegates. This expecta
tion, It is profoundly to beyhoped, may
bo tealized.
A vacancy In one of the United States
Judgeships in New York having oc
cuired, there has been notable spon
taneity In the suggestion that Chailes
A. Gardiner, whose billliant bilef In
the Insular cases did much to save the
government's cause, would ho the light
man for the place. With duo respect to
Mr. Gardiner, wc dissent. Any Judicial
position for him shoit of a seat on the
fedeial Supremo bench would Involve a
waste of good material. Ho would be
more Ubeful In the freedom of the bar.
The Importance of rlio fact that the
Brazilian neronaut, M. Santos-Dumont,
has successfully steeied a navigable
balloon for a short distance In calm
weather can easily be exaggerated. The
feat Involves nothing new nnd nothing
decisive. Safe and regular tiavel
through the air la still a long way off.
Having had all the honor of a gen
eral public Indorsement for mayor of
Buffalo, without any of tho cares of
office, that enterprising former Scran
tonian, Colonel E. H, Butler. titor of
tho Buffalo Evening News, has wisely
B
decided to keep out of the political I
arena nnd to continue an undivided at
tention to Journalism, Thete was ex
ceptional unanimity nnd heartiness in
the demand for Mr Butlet's nomina
tion, but lift hr made the wiser choice.

THERE IS one thing about Buffalo
which I don't like You wouldn't
like It yourself. It's the bicycle
ordinance, or lather the lack of It.
The stieets aren't as well lighted as
ours, of course not; where are theie
as many lights to the squat e Inch
an In Scrantn? But thnt Is not the
worst of It, neither me the bicycles
lighted Nobody makes them carry
lights, so they don't. After you have
been run over twice and seated to
death by a ghostly wheel sevotnl tnoie
ttnieo, you begin to feel vexed with the
laxity of discipline In Bulfnlo. Some
times the street lights all go out, nnd
thru your condition is pitiable Indeed,
If you get oft a brilliantly lighted car
with the serene and laudable Inten
tion of going peaceably to your tem
pouiry domicile, it Is a shock to your
nerves to Unci yourself attempting to
clamber up the tear wheel of a bicycle,
a feat which you have never learned,
or to hear two shaip whistles or bells
as the riders dash past on cither side,
while you dnnce fiantlcally up and
down In bewlldeiment and terror
Neither automobiles nor bicycles seem
to bo compelled to carry lamps, nnd
as a tesult life In Buffalo alter dark
Is a little exciting. It would seem
thit with nil that illuminating out nt
the exposition giounds, nn acetylene
plant, too, Included In the outllt, they
might have a few paltry bicycle lamps.
o
There Is one thing I mustn't forget
to mention. Unless you happen to be
a millionaire, you will find a cameta
to be a greater luxury than dining in
Alt Nurnberg. I have only beard of
one man who has managed to smug
gle a camera into the exposition
giounds. He was a Scr.intrni man nnd
about the last person Imaginable who
would tty to blurt the sharp-eyed offi
cials. The tiuth was, he clldn t tiy a
bluff at all. He simply can led a fold
ing c-nmeia in his pocket, never at
tempting to conceal It, nnd they never
troubled him for a fee. Most of the
camera tiends are observed labeled
with a largo and showy ticket giving
their llccie number. The Scranton
man had miraculously good luck not
to attract attention by the absence of
his number It costs .1 half dollar to
ca try in the smallest, meekest, most
unobtru.-lvo little kodak, and the prices
go up out of all piopoitlon to the size
ot the camera. If you undertake to
use a tripod, they chat go you $J.0O for
its admission. This makes art rather
expensive. It Is cheaper to buy photo
graphs of the views you want fiom
the concessional! es. Then you run no
risks of broken plates or smoky Alms
and you can always assure your
friends that jou took them just the
same. That seems to be the custom of
anybody who ever was suspected of
making a snap shot of anything under
the tun.

The Machinery and Transportation
building may not be as attinctlve as
the Midway, but It probably has as
many possibilities for edlllcatlon. Of
couise, Seianton people are after edlll
catlon. They may not be so much In
tel ested In all the wheels that go lound,
but they will emrely like the automo
biles. 1 don't leallv see how anybody
can be happy, either heie or hereafter,
without an automobile. Of course,
these vehicles do sometimes turn
omersau1ts, but they aie about as le-
llable as most things In this wot Id. nnd
they nio so nice to have, even If they
do make the entiie household smell no
If it had Just stiuck oil. Theie aie
some wondeiful automobiles nt the ex
position. They aie suited to every pur
pose fiom the ciadle to the grave, or
lather from the child's perambulator
to the- he.use. Like dimities and mad
ras ihiit waists, they come in all col
ors. It Is only necessity to walk through
this building to realize how utteily
changed Is the position occupied hy the
bicycle tooay. When the World's Fair
was held It did seem that acies of space
was given up to the bicycle Industiles.
Now comparatively few are exhibited.
It is as gie.U a problem to decide what
has become of all the blcyclea which
weie In lice two or three jeais ago as
to dlfcover when all tho pins and
needles go. There must bo a lot of
than In attics and basements.
Women, as a jule, don't pause long at
the mnchineiy booths. They are noisy
things these machinery exhibits and
pi event one fiom Imparting Informa
tion to one's friends about Important
things. Theie is one exhibit, however,
that Is rather sure to arrest feminine
attention. It has a staring big card,
which asks candidly. "Is your belt too
tight?" As it usually Is In these days
of elongated waists, some embaira-s-ment
Is naturally felt nt the blunt In
quiry. While It also deals with pulleys,
it means another sort of belt, however.
This Interesting exhibit shows prac
tical workings In the power plant and
Is the "Cllng-Suiface" Manufacturing
company's booth fitted up with motois
and belts. The belts aie treated with
some sou of a tangletoot thing only
they don't call it that, and they don't
tell what It Is made of which pievents
them from slipping. At nny late, It
allows a loose belt nnd causes no file
tlon, thus savins' a large percentage ot
expense In wear. Tim exhibit Is In
chnigo of Mr. Hopper, a CornelJ man
and a filend of Mr. Miles T. Hand. It
Is being used in many of the gicatest
phops In the wot Id, and la found at one

To Wage Earners
and Others of
Moderate Income
Do not spend your money foolishly
because you have so little of It, but
ravo what you can fiom month to
month and Invest It In something that
will multiply many fold. The mil
lionaires of this section were laboring
mm a generation ngo nnd they pur
sued this course while most of their
comrades blew It all in. The pru
dent ones saw that fuel was a good
thing, that the world had to have
it. and they bought coal land, a little
at a time as they could spare It, and
It has made them rich, nnd their fami
lies live and will llvo In the greatest
comfoit, while the descendants of
thtlr Imprudent comiades nre labor
ing as their fathers did for day!
wagps.
Keep this object lesson In mind.
The opportunities of that earlier time
were in coal, today greater opportuni
ties exist In oil. which Is fuel in a
more concrete form and is rapidly
supplanting coal, because It Is easier
and cheaper to mine and handle, and
is. besides being a more economic
fuel for all lirge consumers, profit
able ror a hundred other uses. The
oil of California is furnishing that
state with cheap fuel, for tho lack of
which her progress has been woefully
retatded. Tho entire Pacific coast
will consume oil as a fuel, so that
the demand upon the oil fields of Cali
fornia Is unlimited. California oil
leflnets will hold the markets of the
far Kast nnd of the west coast of
South America. It Is plain to be seen
tha the nil fields of California will
be the source of Incalculable wealth,
far beyond what the coal mines of
rennsylvanln have been in the past.
All thoughtful msn can see that the
thing to do now to make money is
to buy the shares of conservative, re
putahly managed oil companies hav.
Ing large holdings of undoubted oil
lands secured nt low prices, and only
requiring development to become the
source of enormous revenues for
shorchotders
The PACIFIC COAST AND TEXAS
OIL COMPANY has In the most Im
portant oil fields managers of ability
and integrity and of the highest prac
tical quahflcatlons for their business,
and the shares of this company are
today, without doubt, the best Invest
ment obtainable. These shares would
be cheap at 40e, but are selling for
the time being at 20c per share, to
procure money to bore the first wells.
The price Is sure to advance rapidly
to keep paee with the developments
on the companj a lands and on ad
joining lands. TIip market value of
the lands Is constantly advancing. Do
not delay making an Investment in
this stock. As to the value of this
oil property nnd the character and
nblllty of its managers this company

!! IIIIW.1 111.11 I ! IIW.WIM MUM.MMWIM
This action is taken for the purpose of protecting legitimate
contestants and preventing the possibility of any speculator from
entering the last day or two and purchasing a $1,000 scholarship
by presenting tho names of his friends as new subscribers and
paying for them himself. While nothing of this sort was attempted
last year, the close of the contest demonstrated that it would have
taken much less than $1,000 to have purchased the first special
reward, as the winning contestant had onlv secured for The
Tribune less than $400 in new subscriptions. The Tribune desires
to protect the contestants that are working' so nobly for it and will
use its best endeavor to have every feature of the contest perlectly
