F1rz HENRY WARREN, Jacob But
Ter, J. 3. Grinnell and about a doz-
en- other unhappy individuals Of
lesser note, are out in a call for .
mass meeting, at Davenport, April
cad, the object of which is to orga-
nize Liberal Republican party in
Iowa, and appoint delegates to the
Cincinnati Convention. The hope
lessness of the effort to induce
any considerable number of the Re-
publicans Of Iowa to desert the reg
ular organization of the party is not
likely to be less hopeless under the
above leadership. Fitz Henry War
rem is fossil, who has not been in
full accord with the Republican
party for years. His chief promi-
nence siace the war, was as a sup.
porter Of Andy Johnson, and the
holder of a foreign appointment I'M
der him. Butler and Grinnell are
simply disappointed politicians, nei-
Their Of whom have by their past
record established a belief in the
public mind that they will at all
times act solely from principle
For this and similar reasons, it may
safely be predicted that the Liberal
Republican, Cincinnati Convention
movement will be an ignominious
failure in Iowa.

PRoF. S. F. B. MoRsE, to whose
skill and perseverance the world is
indebted for the grand results and
incalculable benefits of the electric
telegraph, died at his residence, in
New York, on Monday, having
nearly completed his slst year.
He was the son Of the first and
greatest American geographcr, Je-
dcdiah Morse, graduated at Yale
College, in 1910, adopted the pro-
fession of painter, first conceived
the idea of the telegraph in 1882,
and after years of vcxatious and
discouraging opposition, finally wit
messed the triumphant viudication
of his theories and the fulfillment of
his fondest hopes in 1914, in the
success Of the line between Wash
ington and Baltimore, built with
money appropriated by Congress-
the first message transmitted over
the wires being the appropriate and
deyout sentence: "What has God
wrought" The after And yet an
developed fruits of the telegraph
must ever be identified with the
name of Morse.

Connecticut Election.

The spring fashions set by New
Hampshire, few weeks since, are
taking. At the election for Govern
or and Legislators in Connecticut,
on Monday, the Republicans carried
the State handsomely, electing Jew
ell, their candidate for Governor,
by plurality of over 1000, and
majority over the Democratic, Tenn
peranee and Labor Reform candi-
dates of 200 to 800. They gave
four to six members of the Legisla-
ture. This against 100 majority
last year will do very well, and tells
conclusively where the Nutmeg
State will stand in the idcs Of No
vember.

Quoted by the Principal, that he is fit

The pupil has such examination when
ever the teacher recommends his name for
for such promotion. 1t undoubtedly is true
that certain individual pupils from the
entire number have renamed, and will
hereafter, for long time in the same
class and room. This fact, in itself how
ever, is no reason why they should
be advanced. knew if pupil in one
Of the rooms whose parents thought he
has been detained an unreasonable length
of time in the same studies. found up
on confcring with his teacher, that he was
not fully up to the average of hls class,
and upon consulting the register, that he
had been absent out of four terms, nearly
fourteen weeks. Another parent made
complaint that his two girls had been in
the primary room for three years-ad-
hitting such to be the fact-then there
could have been no cause for complaint,
for three years is the regular time allot-
ed the primary loom. But looking up
the record of these girls found that one
of them had been in the school for some
thing more than two terms, and the other
less than two years. They both had been
very irregular in their attendance, for the
reasons they divided their time between
two homes, one in the country, the other
here. The facts of this case, show the
complaint to be unjust to the teacher and
not correct In statement. A third CON-
plant was made by still another parent

oughly dealt with in their studies by the
teachers, Upon investigating the record
again, found their Attendance the most
irregular, one having been absent this
past term, twenty one and half days
Tor more than one. third of the entire
term, aud the other absent eighteen days,
nearly one-third of the term. Such ir-
regularity will never fail to beget most
miserable results, and tho parent in such
cases should see that 1t IL right and just
that he himself accept thes, results as
rightfully belonging to him, and In no way
way hold the teacher responsible for
them.
These are exceptional instances in our
schools where the parents seem to forget
that the Irregularities OF their children,
should in any way rctard their advance

HClcnt time 10 complete regular COURSE
is letter accommodated where the largest
liberty is had by the pupils in relation to
the choice of studies, but what may be
true of the single pupil would be false OF
the majority, and We must not lose
sight Of the fact that our schools are or
ganized and supported for the whole and
not fractional part. Our schools are
doing their proper work when the masses
of our children arc receiving instruction
In them.
DISCIPLINE IN QUE SCHOOLS.
Every one well knows, or should that
successful results in school cannot be
reached without uniform obedience to
well DEVISED regulations Such regulations
we have, and am able 70 state that for
the most part they are so received and
complied with by tho pupils; still there
are exceptions and it is for these that l
dwell upon this point of sch,ol discipline.
Corporal punishment is not frequently in
flicted, and yet each teacher has the right
to resort to such punishment when in her
judgment it is the only way of securing
obedience. All the teachers ale request
cd TO keep a record OF each case of such
punishment, by writing out fully in
blank book kept for that purpose, the
name of the child, its fault, and the date
thereof. the part of person punished, the
instrument by which punished, and the
number If blows given. The punish.
ment is never to be upon the head neither
is there to be any approach to the head, or
any part of it, for such punishment. This
requirement cnjoining it upon the teachers
tomake a full record of all cases of Corporal
punishment, is made more for the benefit
and protection Of teachers, than any
one else.
Its wisdom has more than once come
directly, and fortunately 80, to my notice,
This case from others l might mention.
I will report: coming out from school
sometime since, learned from parent
that his little girl had been cruelty whip
ped by it's teacher, his assertions and
threatcnings were numerous. l assured
him l would ascertain the facts OF the
case. Upon my return to the echoo!
room, I examined the record and found
no note rade of the punishment and
upon inquiry of the teacher l learned that
