First Issue To-Day-Edited by Superin . tendent Howell and the Teachers-Paid for by Raleigh Advertisers. : Volume 1, No. 1 of "The School Sup plement," which is tolbe published week ly by the superintendent and teachers of the Raleigh public schools, made its appearance to-day. The paper is a neatly printed eight page edition, and contains much matter of i interest to the public in Raleigh, as well as the teaching it will do among the pupils. Its announcement is interesting, and was prepared by Superintendent Howell. The Supplement says: "BY WAY OF EXPLANATION, "Leading Purpose of This Paper. "This paper is intended to serve sev eral purposes. The leading one Is to furnish for primary and intermediate classes more literature suited to their ability and taste, than they can get -otherwise. "Children 'become proficient in reading by practice. Progress is made not by desperate struggle with difficult pas sages, but by much reading of easy, at tractive literature. "Ordinarily, primary puLpdls read little or no literature. They read words and meaningless sentences. But after child can call written words, all his reading should have some thought In it, some real, genuine interest, which is very different from artificial interest worked up by a teacher on class. "By means of a paper appearing every week, all our pupils, even the youngest readers, will always have something of Immediate interest to read, something that ithey will want to read for the sake of the thought in it, and not something they must read as a duty assigned. "Each number of the School Supple ment will contain one or more classic stories written for beginners. These will consist mainly of the time-honored fables and folk lore of our race; though the Bible and any other source of good English will be drawn upon. The only originality claimed for them is the form in which they will appear. They will be written on phonic principles. Nearly all the words will be regular in spelling. All the words and exprsisons will be sucbi aa are familiar to children But at the same time a good literary style will be preserved. Examples of how The School Supplement will treat passages of classic literature for chil dren, are found in the story of the "First Christmas," and of the "Hound and the Babbitt" in this number. There are no books for children that combine the principles of phonic teaching, classic selections, end literary style. "But the use of The School Supple ment will not be confined to the primary classes. Besides containing literature for all, It will supply much material for geography, history, and nature study. As its name implies, this paper will sup plement and extend the school work In all departments. "It will also be a means of communi cation between teachers and parents. It will keep parents In closer sympathy with the school life of their children. It will inform the people of what their schools are doing. "The School Supplement is furnished J free to all pupils in the Raleigh public schools. This makes it a desirable ad vertising medium for Raleigh township. Hence .we are enabled to secure enough advertisements to pay most of the costs of publication. Outside subscriptions will cover any deficit." THE LONG SLEEPER AWAKES. A Large Crowd to See the Lees Last Night. The Lees were greeted with the Metro politan Opera House filled to overflow ing last night, and the entertainment wo$ perhaps tlie most pleasing of all their hypnotic performances. The stage was packed with volunteers, and thirty or more surrendered completely to the influence of the Lees and theirssis- tants. The antics of the hypnotised subjects kept the vast audience convujsed with laughter. Indeed, it is a very interest ing and amusing show. Some are incredu lous; some believe it all, others believe part and disbelieve the balance. Still others sit and wonder, and keep on wondering, but they all laugh, and en joy the fun. Just before the conclusion of the performance the long sleeper who had been for forty-eight hours slumbering in the show window of Sherwood Higgs & Co., and, who has been observed in his slumbers by thousands of people, was brought on the stage on his cot and awakened from his long sleep. He was weighed and examined by Dr, A. O. Jones. When he was put to sleep he weighed 152 pounds. When he was awaEeired h'e'wegTfed44"pTnirn'ds, a loss of 8 pounds. This the sutvtoJ says is the greatest loss he has fev.eXjjad, His pulse and respiration after awaking were nearly normal. There will be a performance tonight and every night this week, and a matinee Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. PARDON MILL GRINDS.
