TODAY A BUSY ONE FOR THEJTEACHERS Delegates Heard Addresses From Distinguished Experts on Education.

(National News Association) San Francisco, Cal., July 12. This was a busy day for the delegates to the convention of the National Educational Association in their separate meeting places, all the different sections gathered and heard addresses by distinguished specialists in educational problems. More than usual Interest was manifested in the remarks of Dr. William If. Allen. Director of the Bureau of Municipal Research in New York City, who spoke on "Cooperation of Informed Citizens with Public Schools." Dr. Allen declared that there is not a city in the country where the citizens do not aid in some way or other, but that In no place are the citizens doing all the things that they could and should do for the betterment pf the medium of Instruction of their children. Cooperation Benefits. "Benefits of civic cooperation it Is aid have been reported to the Bureau of Municipal Research by 315 city superintendents and 700 women's clubs and associations of business men, physicians, dentists, ministers. "Somewhere every phase of school management has been helped by outsiders grounds and school-rooms beautified, the needy relieved, kindergartens, playgrounds and recreation centers started and the way paved for medical and dental inspection, industrial training, school nurses, open air and night schools, instruction in civics, hygiene, agriculture, etc. Outsiders have organized parades to secure bond issues, given bufldings, compelled the removal of unfit commissioners and superintendents and secured large budget increases. . "But no city reports all of these services. The majority mention no outside assistance with repect to the majority of services which make up the above composite picture. In few cities Is there consecutive organized interest. "Among the reasons why schools as compared with private charities, social settlements, etc., have not had their full share of citizen cooperation, are (1) school superintendents have not shown where citizens might take hold; (2) citizens have too often asked the schools to help their societies Instead of helping the school; (3) the opportunities of the school budget have not been clearly seen; (4) the interest in little new things has been allowed to displace cumulative interest in large old things; (5) uniform questions about schools and testing school needs and school efficiency have been tardily ' developed. "Heretofore citizens have suggested and schools have adopted. Having rea lized the possibility of citlbzen coop eration, the schools are beginning to suggest plans for citizens to support and help execute." . Advice on Music. Miss Julia E. Crane, music instructor in Mew York state Normal school advised teachers to pay more attention to the view points of th-i pupils. "Small teachers ere often arrogant to the extent of seeing nothing but their own point of view, and from this narrow standpoint obstructing the progress of their pupils"; she said and applied this particularly to music teachers in the schools. Dr. F. Park Lewis, of Buffalo, N. Y., discussing the "Hygiene of Vision," declared the poorly lighted school-rooms were responsible for more than onethird of the blindness in the country. He suggested means for dissemination of information as to how school rooms should be illuminated, both by day and by night. This same subject was covered also by J. A. Shaven, superintendent of Schools at Columbus, Ohio. Richard Welling, of New York advocated self-government of the pupils in the public school administration as a means to developing their insight Into true citizenship. Other speakers today were Elsie M. Shaw, supervisor of Music in the pubjlic schools of St. Paul, Minn., who poke on "Public School Music in rela tion to the Music of the Community;" Paul Kreuzpolnter of Altoona, Pa., who emphasized the value of manuel training courses; Dr. Mark D. Stevenson, of Akron, Ohio, who spoke on health problems of the school child, and Llnnaous N. Hines, Superintendent of Schools at Crawfordsville, Ind.. who described "An Ideal School room." declaring there is no such thing now, but that a little thought and effort would result in their being none ex cept ideal ones. Just the Other Way. Rndyard Kipling was once visiting at a country house at which Miss Dorothy Drew, the famous granddaughter of Mr. Gladstone, then a little girl, was also staying. She wan sent out into the garden with the distinguished author. Later on. when the other grownups Joined them, little Miss Dorothy was asked, -1 hope you didnt bore Mr. Klpllngr "No. but he bored me frightfully," was the unexpected and resigned rePly. Wait a Bit. Gnest Look here. How long am I going to bare to wait for that half portion of duck I ordered? Waiter Till somebody orders the other half. We can't go oat and kill half a duck. Toledo Blade.

Crown Princess of Roumania, Who En joys Meeting Them. Crown Princess Marie of Roumania. daughter of the late Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotba. Is tbe friend of Americans. Recently society leaders In Bucharest let It be known that tbe American women In tbe Roumanian capital need not expect social recognition. About this time Invitations were sent out for a social at which it was expected Princess Marie herself was to be a guest of honor. According to custom, the names of the proposed guests Pboto by American Press Avh.c! tion. rRXNCEBS ELIZABETH OF BOCMANIA. to the function were submitted to tbe royal lady. She scanned tbe list and then remarked: "I see tbe names of So-and-so are not here." "They areAmerteans, your royal hlghness.M wasvtrft3ly. "They aredK&ujuiiked guests in our capital.- Ifakelrvnanes are not Included In tbJsjSi&t, of guests I shall not attend tbe!fewnlienV' declared the princess, rerorrilagfthe,Ust with an air of finality that bad tHetrecr. Every American woman ofany social standing at all was laameiliately invited to the affair, and the' princess made a point of singling tout tbe unpopular Americans for gracious attentions. Like Queen Mary, the beautiful Roumanian crown prineess is a woman of remarkable intelligence. Moreover, she Is extremely tactful and clever. It Is said If Ferdinand ever comes to tbe throne of Roumania she will be tbe power behind the throne. Her daughter, the Princess Elizabeth, who Inherits much of ber mother's beauty, is now seventeen, tie same age as tbe heir to the English throne. A marriage between tbe two would not be unpleaslng to the English people and would certainly be desirable for Roumania from a diplomatic standpoint. The sugcestlon that a match be ar ranged with Princess Maud Alexandra of Fife, second daughter of the king's sister. Louise, duchess of Fife, has not been received with much enthusiasm by the English people, with whom the Fife connection is not very popular. However, rumor now says that the lovely Princess Elizabeth Is engaged to Prince George, eldest son of the crown prince of Greece. DOING RIGHT. Practical duty enriches the fancy and the heart, and action clears and deepens the affections. No one can have a true idea of right until he does it. nor any genuine reverence for it bH he has done it often and with cost, nor any peace ineffable in it nil he does it always and with aiacnty. J.

Statehood Bill Gossip of

f - (Palladium Special) Washington, July 12. The committee of the Senate having in charge the hearings in Arizona and New Mexico, have by a vote of six to three recommended concurrence in the Flood reso lution wheh came over from the House and which previous to its passage in that body, had the O. K. of the Democratic caucus. Just at the present time Canadian reciprocity has the right of way, while the farmers' froelist and the wool tariff measure are securing the principal attention of the lawmakers of the Senate, and therefore there is little to be added to the story involving patient waiting on the part of the people of Arizona and New Mexico. Recent expressions on the part of the President and Attorney General Wickersham appear to confirm, beyond ail doubt, the fears of Republican leaders who have interested themselves mostly in this subject, that the passage of the statehood measure for Arizona containing a provision for the recall of Judges will draw a veto from the President. The New Mexico and Arizona citizens who have been here have found that their suggestions for different amendments desired by them, have proven of no avail, and the only solace or crumb of comfort that has been gathered by anyone have been the amendments made by the Democratic Committee of the House at the suggestion of members of their party in New Mexico. There is reason to believe that the Democratic law-makers in control of the situation, aided by the progressives, are attempting to get whatever they can of party advantage out of the situation. If ever a Congressman has been grilled, that man was Representative Fowler of Illinois. Mr. Mann held him up to the ridicult of the members one day recently, by showing that he had injected into his peech. while writing and before delivering it, such expressions as "applause," "handshaking," etc. The Republican leader showed how Mr. Fowler, in fixing his address used the expressions, "Jesus was born In the manger," and "John the Baptist lived on locusts and wild honey." These statements, according to the record, created 'applause." Mr. Fowler attempted to defend himself, but unsuccessfully, because Mr. Mann described the speech, saying that he had examined the original manuscript and found that it was "fixed up previous to LOVELY LUCERNE. The Tourist Center of the "Playground of Europe." Lucerne, situated In tbe heart of Switzerland, stands, as It were, enshrined amid the grandest and most picturesque features of Alpine scenery and Is. of course, the tourist center par excellence of the "Playground of Europe," three main lines of railway converging on tbe famous town beside the lake. Nor could nature, indeed, bave well done more for "Lovely Lucerne." as all the world acclaims it (declares a writer in London Sketch). On one side stands the Rigl. on the other Pilatus (7.000 feet high), with between them the fair, shimmering expanse of tbe Lake of the Four Cantons and beyond it again a widespread panorama of the glaciers and snow peaked ranges of the Alps. From the ' Rigi (0.000 feet), easily climbed by aid of its famous "mountraln train." the view takes in the Bernlna. Gothard, Unterwalden and Bernese Alps, stretching far and Wide, from the Sentis in tbe east to the Blumlisalp in the west, and to northward the Jura mountains, the Black forest and the Vosges barrier between Frank and Teuton. From the Rigl some fourteen lakes are visible on a clear day. among them Sempach. by the shores of which was fought the famous battle where the Swiss won their freedom. Naming a Yacht. The naming of a book is no holiday task, and authors particularly proud of a title are tolerably sure to discover that it has been already used. But the naming of a yacht is almost a greater perplexity. Plagiarism may in this case result in practical confusion carrying tbe most awkward consequences, and not all titles to which, in search of variety, recourse has already been had are satisfactory from all points of view. Not long ago. for instance, a very grave British cabinet minister. perhaps wishing for once to be spright ly, called his yacht Flirt. He had not consulted his family, who were, however, quite sure, he thought, to delight in his outburst of gayety. Ilowever. bis daughters naturally remarked how very disagreeable It would be to go ashore with that label around their bats. Where Ears Grow Sharp. A French balloonist has recorded the clearness with which sounds coming from the surface of the ground can be heard at a high altitude. At the height of 5.000 feet the ringing of horses' hoofs on a hard road was clearly audible. At 4.000 feet the splashing sound made by ducks in a pond was heard. The barking of dogs J and the crowing of cocks cotilJ be heard at seven or eight thousand feet. These sounds penetrated through a white floor of cloud that hid the earth frcm sight, says Harper's Weekly. In tbe perfect silence of the air the Investigator wns startled by what seemed stealthy footsteps close at hand. It was ascertained that this noise was caused by the stretching of the ropes and the yielding of the silk as the balloon continued to expand. The TwiliaTht Or Life. The mntciea of the stomach in old are are not is strong- or active as in youth and is conselaence old people are very subject to constipation and indigestion. Many seldom have a bowel movement without artificial aid. Many, also, have unpleasant eructations of gas from the stomach alter eating. All this can be avoided by the use of Dr. CaldweU's Syrup Pepsin, which permanently regulates the bowels so tha. Vassages come naturally, and so stresgthent the stomach that food is digested without discomfort. Drocgista sea it at 50 cents or C a large bottle.

being delivered." In his description Mr. Mann stated that "it was on yellow paper." Mr. Fowler asked. "And the gentleman says all he knew about it is that there was a manuscript in yellow." The Democratic side of the House thought this was the proper ; place to applaud, and encouraged their j embarrassed colleague, but they did I'uiimiuv iwi iianuciapping aner Mr. Manns retort: "No that is not all I know about it after all, the principal part of the speech was the yellow paper." Mr. Prouty, of Iowa got down into the human essence of things in his remarks concerning the election of senators by the people, and he stated the question of difference between Re publicans and Democrats as raised en tirely on the point at issue as to whether the Federal government should have power to preserve its own existence and power. Turning to the Democratic side he remarked: "You gentlemen from the South seem to be extremely nervous for some reason. Why is it? Do you contemplate doing somethirg that is wrong? I want i 'n say to you that I am Northern born and Northern bred, and I know that these people contemplate no wrong toward you or your people. So long as you attempt to elect a man to the United States senate from the South fairly you will be interfered with by the North. I want to say with equal candor, if you have in your mind the contemplation of the election of United States senators by methods that are unfair and unpatriotic, the North wishes to reserve in its Constitution sufficient power to interfere and secure for your people fair elections, if you are either unable or unwilling to secure them for yourselves." In opposition to the proposal to reduce the duties on wools and manufacturers of wool, Delegate Cameron, of Arizona, pointed out in the course of his speech the fact that Arizona, one of our smallest wards, possessed a sheep population of about one million. He called attention to the fact that there are approximately sixty-sev en million sheep in the United States and upon that basis the due proportion was contained in the territory which he represents. However, he directed attention to the fact that there were more sheep than people in Ari zona while in the rest of the coun try the condition was reversed. 'REVENUE CUTTERS. Varied Duties of These Life Savers of the Seas. No men In tbe employ of Uncle Sam render more efficient service than do those of tbe revenue cutter service The term "revenue." which would Indicate that their duties were restricted to those pertaining to the proper en forcement of the revenue laws, can give but a faint notion of the varied duties of this splendid corps of men As a matter of fact, revenue cutters are the life savers of the seas. They patrol tbe coasts on regular beats, on the watch for vessels in distress. They must suppress mutinies, prevent smuggling and Illicit seal'buuticg; they must examine ships' papers, enforce quarantine regulations, supply lighthouses and in general do all kinds of poMce work. Then. too. they have beeu dubbed "the messenger boys of the seas." Alexander Hamilton was the father of the revenue cutter service, for it was under his administration of the treasury department that, in 1701. ten cutters were built and put in commission under rules of his own devising. In time of peace tbe cutters are under the supervision of tbe treasury department, but in times of war tbey are transferred to that of the navy department. Since the war of 1812 they have always rendered excellent service in the event of armed hostilities. Every one remembers the remarkable work done by the McCulloch. under Dewey, at the battle of Manila Bay. New iork Press. . . - A Synonym. "Being a printer. Mr. Dash." said the hotel proprietor, "maybe you can advise me. I want to get a sign painted. 'Writing Room Free to Our Patrons, or something like that." "I don't like 'patrons.' " said Mr. Dash.

The reason why newly wedded men are called "Benedicts" is because they are supposed on marriage to give up all the bad habits to which they have "benedlcted." Lippincott's. THE GOOD PHYSICIAN'S METHOD It is a small wonder that physicians prescribe an alterative (blood purifier for so many afflictions, since the blood is so intimately related with every function of the human body. Poisoned, or impure blood, aside from such manifestations as syphilis, catarrh, inflammatory rheumatism, pimples, boils, so-es, muddy complexion, etc., effects tbe appetitie, the digestion and the whole human organism. The most powerful and effective alterative known 13 Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegeteable Compound, discovered by a famous physician of Indiana and used in his practice more than forty years ago. It has never failed to cure the most dreadful form of all poisoned blood (syphilis) and has of course readily conquered all the lesser blood diseases. Nothing has ever equalled it for giving a clear, healthy complexion. It Is sold at $1 per bottle at all drug stores.

SHE WAS NO SHIRK.

And She Had No Patience With Med mm Cooking Methods. Different persons have varying ideas as to what constitutes a good housekeeper. The ideas held by Mrs. Dana Goodyear were her own and firmly fixed. "I've got nothing to say against those that follow after these modern notions of cooking, like tbe minister's wife," she remarked one day. "but all I can state is that her ways aren't my ways and never would be." "She's beeu to a city cooking school. I hear." said Mrs. Goodyear"s visitor, "and does her work all the newfangled ways." "I presume so." and Mrs. Goodyear's chin took on its firmest expression. "She wns telling me yesterday how she could do a morning's bakingbread, cake, pies and get the regular dinner, too. and uly bare three bowls and three or four spooua to wash when she's done aside from the dinner disb ea. She told me 'twas by cooking school system she did it. planning and rinsing out as she worked, and so on. "She seemed real proud of ii. but it struck me as a pretty slack way of doing kitcbeu work. There isn't a lazy lwne in ray body, if I do say it. and when I've done a Saturday's baking I'm safe to say that there's hardly a bowl left on my pautry shelves, and I've got a good hour's work before me right in my kitchen sink where anybody that comes in can see it." Youth's Companion. KING OF THE METALS. The Importance of Iron to the Electrical Industry. The very root of the electrical industry is iron. Without iron it is doubtful if the larger generators and the mighty motors could be built, for the powerful magnets upon which these inventions depend for their power are ail made of soft iron either in the form of thin plates or long wires covered with insulation. Nearly every one is familiar with the common horseshoe magnet, which is but a piece of steel bent In the shape of a horseshoe and charged with magnetism. When a steel bar of this shape is rubbed against another magnet it is "charged" and will remain so for a long time. The magnets used in electrical machinery are of tbe induction type that is. the magnetism vanishes just as soon as the current is taken away from them. If you wind a long insulated wire tiglatly around a soft iron core and send through this wire a weak current of electricity the core will be instantly possessed of strong magnetic qualities. This fact is the basis of all electric motors and generators. The field coils are usually made of a soft iron core wound with yards and yards of insulated wire. When the current is sent through this wire the soft iron core Is turned into a powerful magnet, and this magnetic power is used to drive motors or to generate more electricity. Electrical Bulletin. Elephants In Captivity. The trainer Cashed for an instant his dark lantern on the long line of elephants. "They are asleep." he said. "In captivity elephants always sleep standing." "Why is that?" the visitor asked. "They lie down to sleep in the jun gle." "Yes." said the trainer. "I don't know why it Is. But you'll never see a captive elephant sleep lying down. Some people say a captive elephant never really sleeps sleeps sound. 1 mean at all. lie never has complete confidence, you know. lie grieves. He longs to be free. Why. as a matter of fact, this light, standing sleep of his only lasts about three hours at that. All the rest of the night he rocks from side to side in the dark." Cincinnati Enquirer.
