ACTION OF EDUCATORS

VAXT .ATIOVL I MVFllSITY MAINTAINED HY r;ovi:..MKST. YV. M. Deardshenr F.Ieeted President of the Afon tlon Social Science and Other Topics Diitcunscd. DETROIT, July 11 The National Educational Association to-day reaffirmed its declaration in favor of the national university at Washington to be maintained by the national government. After taking this action the association fleeted as its president for the epulng year President W. M. Ileardshcar, of the Pnlverslty of Iowa. The election was unanimous, as was th.it of C. M. Keys, of Hartford, Conn., for treasurer. The interest among educators on the subject of teaching economics in the public schools systems of the country was reflected in the attendance upon this morning's session. Although the Light Guard Armory was very close when President Green called the session to order, there were 3)) teachers present. Talking extemporaneously. Prof. George E. Vincent, of the Pnlverslty of Chicago, made a splendid and enthusiastically applauded address on "Social Science and the Curriculum." "All subjects in the present curriculum, particularly literature, lend themselves to the social point of view," said Professor Vincent, after announcing that he did not want another subject added to the curriculum. Prof. F. W. Spiers, of Philadelphia, was the next speaker, on "Ideals and Methods of Economic Teaching." Prof. George Gunton. of New York, followed in his paper on "Economics in the Public Schools." Reuben Post Halleck's paper on "The Teacher as a Social and Economic Power," was the last one of the session. Mr. Halleck is from Louisville, Ky. "The teacher who is anti-social commits a crime if he does not Immediately follow some other vocation." he said. "Those vested with authority in the educational Meld, whether boards of education, superintendents or principals who try to rule their teachers by the anti-social feeling of fear are an abomination in this new era, as is the teacher who trie's to secure results from pupils by making them afraid. The teacher who would be a social-economic power must learn and apply certain social truth which psychology offers. The most Important of these Is suggestion, together with imitation. Its corollary. An understanding of the baral elements of sympathy is also necessary." This afternoon thirteen departmental meetings were held, and In several of them officers were elected for the coming year. In the department of elementary education papers were read by Thomas A. Mott, of Richmond. Ind., R. A. Ogg, of Kokomo, Ind., and Prof. Charles De Garme, of Cornell Pnlverslty. At the general session of the association to-night "The Problems of Education in England" were treated in a paper by Cloudesley S. H. Prereton. of Melton Constable, England. President C. Stanley Hall, of Clark University, Worcester. Mass., presented his views of "The Ideal University" before the National Council of Education In Y. M. C. A. Hall this afternoon. He advocated deferring the teaching of reading and writing until the child was seven or eight years of age, and substituting nature study in the meantime. From the eighth to the twelfth yar not much memory work or reasoning should be given children. Dr. Hall said. He condemned the subordination of the high schools to the universities, and urged high school teachers to stand on their own basis, regardless of the colleges. After the ages of twelve or thirteen he advocated the bifurcating of the studies of the "sexes. "The girls." he said, "should take the tine arts and the humanities unless they Intend to specialize, leaving the sciences, Greek, etc.. to the boys." Three general sessions of the association and a number of departmental meetings to-morrow will end one of the most successful conventions the association has ever held. The attendance to-day was estimated at between 12.uh) and 13,fKX). OUR URBAN POPULATION.

Most of the Dues I'ald In Gold Certificates Little Coin In lue. WASHINGTON, July ll.-The Treasury Department's report from New York shows that for the first ten days of July the customs collections in New York were paid ;vj.3 per cent, in gold certificates and gold notes, the gold coin being less than 4 per cent, of the total. The figures are abnormal, and Indicate that the small denominations are not convenient for the payment of- large sums of customs duties. In May of this j'car the gold certificates and coin received for customs were U'Xü per cen:. of the whole, and in June last they amounted to !j7.4. The Treasury Department, in its preparations for the lull demand for small notes, is replacing the United States notes and silver certificates of large denominations with small denominations. In silver certificates the new Issues are nearly altogether In ones, twos and fives for the present, and in United States notes the new issue is of tens. The net amount of United States notes outstanding at the end of June was $."4G.tl.0lG, and of that amount the total of tens was $133,1:2,771. Thl3 amount will be Increased, the purpose being to put a considerable portion of the United States notes In tens, allowing the expansion of the smaller Issues of silver certificates. Thieves Among: Guam Marines. WASHINGTON. July 11. The Navy Department to-day gave out an order issued by Governor Shroeder, of Guam, supplementing his previous order relative to the conduct of the marines, and containing these words: "While there are one or two members of the command who had cause to suspect possible thieves of private property, there are a dozen who positively know who stole the property. If they wish it they can have this matter cleared tip at once. The entire command is now waiting to hear tfiom them, and it is hoped that American manhood will continue to assert Itself and refuse to permit the reputation and privileges of all to suffer in order to screen a few criminals who do not deserve much kniency." War Revenue Receipts. WASHINGTON. July ll.-A statement prepared at the Internal Revenue Pureau shows that the total receipts from the war revenue act or.iy from July 13. li. the date the act went into effect, to May 31. lCol. amounted to $310.0;3.3ä3. as follows: Schedule A (documentary stamps), $10$,722.674; schedule H (proprietary stamps), $lo.y22.13S; beer. $1)7.717.071: special taxes, $14.0,.-3.6Ca: tobacco. $ 17.274. 7m); snuff. $2.Cy7.SlH; cigars. fcUMM27; cigarettes. $.1.Sls.yyi; legacies, $.1-U; excise tax. $2,632.&2; mixed flour. $21.&rt; additional tax on beer and tobacco, $.'62.3S5.

Under a ruling of the Treasury Department coffee chipped from the United States to Porto Rico will bo admitted into Porto Rico free of duty as soon as free trade is proclaimed hetween the United States and that island. This, lti practice, will result very likely in coffee shipped into Porto Rico from any country being admitted free of duty. National Capital Notes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON.

Moro than five thousand people were registered to-day. It is doubtful whether the total registration will run as high as 50.000. Two thousand are being registered daily vat Lawton. The crowd here remains about the same in size. Every incoming train brings hundreds, but the same trains always take away an equal number who have secured certificates. There Is plenty to eat and drink. The ice supply from the local plant is short and is being supplied from other towns. There is very little drunkenness. A perfect system of organization has been effected by those in charge of the lines and there is now no trouble whatever. The streets are still crowded, but there is not the rush and scramble of yesterday. A band gives nightly concerts to entertain the crowds. Large numbers continue to arrive overland and every vacant lot in the residence portion Is occupied by campers. The cattlemen In the Indian country will not suffer by reason of the opening, as has been reported. Their grass leases have been held to Oct. 1 and the government will not eject them.

Home Destroyed, lint Family Escaped Ilavoe of a Clondbnmt. HELENA, Mont., July 11. Debris is piled everywhere in the gulch In which are located Wiekes and Corbin. Great .damage to property was done by the torrent of water which poured down the narrow valley, after the cloudburst. The concentrator of the Peck Company, at Corbin, will have to close down because of damage to the machinery. A wave six feet high and two hundred feet wide, swept down the gulch. Within half a mile of Wiekes, toward Corbin. a fill-in on the Great Northern, formed a dam. Mrs. Charles Turner and six small children were in their home in Twin Gulch. The torrent of rain started a landslide and before the occupants suspected any danger the entire side of the house nearest the mountain was crushed in like an egg by an enormous bowlder. All the occupants marvelously escaped. As the great wall of water tore down the gulch it practically demolished the Northern Pacific tracks and bridges. At several points great sections of rails and ties were picked from the roadbed and bsnt and twisted Into a mass of debris. The Great Northern suffered only a washout of the rill near y ickes. it is impossible to estimate the loss at present. TOWN SOLD AT AUCTION. Lincoln, N. J., a Woman Suffrage Com m unity, Sold for $lß,OO0. NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., July 11. The village of Lincoln, in the northern part of Middlesex county, once the pride and the hope of the woman suffrage agitators, was sold yesterday under the auctioneer's hammer for $16,000. The town was founded five years ago by Silas Drake, a land-owner, who organized the New Jersey Realty Company, which purchased a big farm and cut it up into building and factory sites. The place seemed a success from the start. Many houses were erected, factories were established, a trolley line was laid through the main street, and the United States government gave the town a postoflice. Soon afterward a municipal government was organized, and the first Council of the place was composed entirely of women, equal suffrage prevailing at the Lincoln elections. Soon the enterprise found itself in financial straits. Some of the stockholders applied for a receiver for the New Jersey Realty Company. James I. Northrup. of Jersey City, was appointed and the sale arranged. The property sold yesterday Includes the town hall, the schoolhouse, a statute of Lincoln, nearly 1.4C0 building lots, and several factory sites. ARMY OFFICERS ON TRIAL.

RACE HORSn IXJI'IIED. Abe Frank, Valued at $25.000, Ran Away on the Track. CHICAGO. July 11. An accident that may prove the ruin of a great race horte marred the sport at Washington Park this afternoon. In the Maywood stakes only three colts went to the post Abe Frank, Charles W. Meyer and Pentecost. The first named was a strong favorite and much money was bet on him ft 3 to 5. Meyer was 2 to 1 and Pentecost 8 to 1. "While the colts were at the post there was a false break, and in attempting to rein up Abe Frank, Dominick in some way fell off. The colt could easily have been caught had any one been near enough. He trotted down the stretch and some stable hands made a half-hearted effort to stop the colt, but only frightened him. He then started to run and made the circuit of the track twice at almost top speed. Then he Jumped the fence, and after wandering about a short time returned to the track and ran six furlongs more before he was finally stopped. He was immediately taken to the stable and Charles W. Meyer and Pentecost ran for the stake, the former being a 2-to-3 shot in the changed betting. Meyer showed the way at a terrific clip to the stretch, but Pentecost clung to him, and in the run home he overtook and defeated the Schorr colt amid much excitement. The extent of Abe Fcank's injuries will not be known for several days. The colt apparently escaped any serious cuts or bruises. His owner had refused $25,000 for him. The weather was fine, the track fast and the attendance large. "Winners in order: Tammany Chief. 6 to 1; Belle's Commoner, 4 to 1; Pentecost. 2 to 1; Pink Coat, 3 to 1; Seide, 5 to 2; Winter, 3 to 2.

A London dispatch to the World relative to the reported betrothal of the Duchess of Albany to the Earl of Rosebery says: "The announcement is not unexpected. The widowed duchess and the bereaved earl would have been married long ago had not the Queen declined to countenance the union. So strongly did her Majesty insist that in the seventeen years that have elapsed since the death of Princ Leopold, Duke of Albany, the duchess has avoided society and devoted her life to the rearing of her son and daughter. She invented a peculiarly-shaped school seat, for which she received a gold medal, and which is now In general use.

The Queen would not hear of it and. as the duchess was dependent on an allowance made through her mother-in-law's will and did not wish to offend her. she resigned herself to the inevitable. All is easy now, as the Prince of Wales, the present King, was always on terms of closest intimacy with the Earl of Rosebery.
