Muncip, Ind., Sept. 8. Miss Georgia
Alexander, of Indianapolis, one of tbe
instructors in the Delaware County Teachers' Institute, took a "rai" at
President Koosevelt and his spelling
reform movement that caused considerable comment anions the 300 edu
cators who were in the room. Miss
Alexander is the author of the spelling
book that the state has adopted for
use during the next ten years.
Says lie 31isses the Point. "The president's spelling reform plan
contains many crood points, but it
misses the one jrreut object for which
it was intended," said she. "Scarce
ly one of the GOO words which have
been recommended for chancre is ever
misspelled in the public schools. It is not words like 'although' or 'through'
that are found incorrect, but it !s words like 'disappoint,' 'relieve,' 'tield,' 'necessary' and 'similar' that should bo
changed.
"Use a Bow and Error," Mis3 Alexander declared that spelling in the public schools "has become a lost art." One fault that she found with methods now in vogue was failure to teach the pupil the connection between correct spelling and the meaning of the word. As an example of this, she said, she requested one of her pupils in an Indianapolis school room to write a sentence in which the word "error" was used. The pupil responded with this: "The Indian uses a bow and error." Teaehers Too Much Rushed.
Miss Alexander also had decided
views on the way in which, she said.
the work in the public schools is
rushed. "A teacher is told to complete
a certain amount of work in a specified time." said she. "and if one or all
of the students does not complete the
work, it is passed anyway." "Hasty
work in the public school room is de
moralizing alike to student and teach' er," was her conclusion.
Springfield convention of two years ago. Those delegates are still living In Illinois: they can all be found. Mr. Bryan said that a majority of them were opposed to me for national committeeman; he has said that he had at St. Louis letters from more than half of those delegates in which they repudiated the action of the convention which resulted in my becoming national committeeman. ; "Lot us poll those delegates. Let us have this poll made under the direction
or tne enter justice of the supreme
court of Illinois. If the majority of those delegates will support Mr. Bryan's present contention and will say that I was elected to the national com
mittee by fraud then I will resign from
the national committee. On the oth
er hand and this I contend is but a fair proposition if the majority of those delegates of two years ago do not support Mr. Bryan's allegation of
fraud then I will insist that Mr. Bryan shall announce that ho will no longer bo a candidate for the presidency at
the hands of the Democratic party."

An Example of a Judicial Mind. At a dinner attended by a score of well known lawyers recently the phrase "judicial mind" was defined by illustration as follows: 'T have searched far and wide for a satisfactory definition of the Inevitable query raised when Judicial nominations are in eight," said one of the lawyers. "On a Mississippi river steamboat some time ago I obtained xy only approximate answer. A southern colonel who employed the phrase yielded to my request for a definition and explained that on a cer
tain occasion a legal light of Mississippi was traveling in a river steamer when the boiler exploded. As the boat was passing the penitentiary at the time the force of the explosion deposited the lawyer inside the walls of the establishment from which he had saved so many criminals. Being uninjured, as a clever lawyer would be under the circumstances, he applied to the warden for a release. The warden listened to the circumstances as he narrated them, but declined to release him, Insisting that with the coming of prisoners he had no concern, but for their departure he was responsible. He therefore compelled the lawyer to wait for a pardon from the governor. That is my notion of a judicial mind." New York Post.

impostors fairly bsier her. Tho higher education of women does not mean elothes and frivolity d mean the advanerment of the rvx, the advancement of man JL STEP FORWARD FOR THE WHOLE KACE. It means a bet-i tcr observance of the American Sabbath, a higher plane for tho Aincrcan home. r. The danger of international marriages tho wedding of our young American girU to titled foreigner lies not in the possibility of th(v, loveless alliance dictated bv ambition nor in the diverting of American' wealth, but in the l-littling of American traditions. SOCIETY NEEDS MORE SLEEP. SOCIETY PEOPLE ARE BURNING OUT THEIR LIVES IN THE EFFORT TO KEEP UP WITH ONE ANOTHER. AND THE EFFECT ON THE NEXT GENERATION WILU BE DEPLORABLE. Love in a cottage is quite romantic, but human nature is aliko the world over and will not bo denied. Some women will always be envious of their more fortunate sisters. A man should be pretty well fixed financially before he is married if ho would live happily in Nevr York. v. t This display of luxury on the part of the rich before tho eyes of thef poor is a sin and SHOULD BE PUNISHABLE by social law. The breakdown of many women is due largely to too much excite rnent and no rest on Sunday. Tho children receive no moTal training. AS FOR MANNERS, THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH TO BE MENTIONED TODAY, AND I DOUBT IF WE WILL SEE THE PRETTY COURTESIES OF THE YOUNG TO THE OLD AGAIN.

The Ball In Lawn Tennla. It Is a curious fact that every book written on lawn tennis cautions the player to keep his eyes on the ball at
the moment of striking it, yet there are very few expert playero who do so. A rifle shot looks at his target, a bowler looks at the pins, and a billiard player generally looks at the object ball, not the cue ball. I have found it next to impossible to carry in my mind, while moving rapidly to play a flying ball, the exact height of the net, the direction of the lines of my opponent's court and his position, so that it has become second nature with me and with most other players to look up in the direction that the ball is to go before it actually leaves the racket. It is principally because the reverse of this Is necessary in golf that lawn tennis players have so much trouble in mastering the old Scotch game. From tennis habit they take their eyes off the ball too soon for golf success. J. Parmly Paret in Country Life In America.
Men Should Marry Early By Judtfe LUXE J. CONNORTON of Flushing. N. Y.
O man should live to pass middle age before lie marries When I say that a single life is hades I mean it in its most severe form. This is specially applicable to the man who must live away from homo in the surroundings of boarding;
houses and hotels. In these environments there is nothing that is conducive to the exercise of the GENTLER SIDE of a man's nature. He leads a super-i ficial and often very selfish existence, and in the end if he marries this" will probably mean the direst nnhappiness of his wife. My advice to a young man is to marry early. After you have; reached the age of discretion center your thoughts on some one womarU WHEN YOU ARE MAKING ENOUGH MONEY TO SUPPORT TWO AND TO SAVE A LITTLE, MARRY. IN ALL. PROBABILITY IN THIS DAY AND AGE YOU WILL MARRY A WOMAN ENGAGED IN BU8U NESS. I have often been asked if I did not think tho increase in the enH oloyment of women did not tend to lessen the number of marriages NOT IN THE LEAST. Not long ago the man had to wait until he could earn enoughmoney to support the whole responsibility of the home. Now the wife,' who earns a living wage can make an earlier union more practicable than has ever been known before in the world's history. EVERY YOUNG MAN WHO IS UNMARRIED nAS CER TAIN TEMPTATIONS THRUST MORE FORCIBLY UPONj HIM THAN HE WOULD HAVE IF HE HAD A HOME. Gambling, drinking, late houre and heavy carousing aro not quails ties generally dominant in the youn married man. On the other, hand the majority of unmarried men indulgo in these to an unlimited extent. This condition is changed where a home is founded. The home interest is uppermost in the man's mind.

The Floor of the Pacific. The red clay which covers the deep floors of the Pacific and the Indian oceans is made up of refuse and residue that which can withstand the strong chemical action of the gases. In it may be found decomposed volcanic rock, pumice, zeolitic crystals, manganese oxides, meteoric iron, teeth of sharks and ear bones of whales. Few if any share deposits are apparent in it The rock is vitreous refuse, belched forth by subterranean or insular volcanoes. The minerals are supposed to bo of cosmic origin planetary dust and meteoric fragments that have fallen Into the sea and have become disintegrated. The great quantity of sharks teeth remains quite unaccounted for at least their apparent gathering together in these ocean basins Is considered very strange. J. C. Van Dyke in "The Opal SeaL
HIS is a great and good country to live in. It is a poweffuli country. It has grown to its present strencrth from the
