Try TELEGRAPH To TIE rRmUyG.I


lBY TELEGRAPH TIE TRIBUNE.
WASHINGTON July 6-At the Cabinet meeting to-
day a good deal of time given 20 the discussion
of whether the federal ollice-holders in Wisconsin
can call State Convention without disobeyng the
Presidents recent order. This question was raised
by the letter of Post Master Keys, of Madison,
Chairman of the Republican State Committee, who
states that four-fths Of the Committee men, lnclnd-
ing the officers are federal otfce-hoders that there
is no provision for their resignation except to tie
Convention when assembled: and that there Is no
authority for calling convention except
that of majority Of the Committee. 1t
follows from this statement that the Wisconsin
Republicans cannot have a convention this year un-
less the federal office holders who make majority
of tie Committee put out a call. After wrestling
with this knoty point for an hour or 30 the Cabinet
decided that issuing the call would not be considered
"A an act Of insubordination, but that the Office
holders would be expected to resign their political
positious al the earliest moment practicable. Inc
Cabinet also had an informal discussion in regard to
the action of certain government officials who took
mart i'm the Iowa convention. No action was taken
bnt If WAS cons dered that while the order is To be
enforced firmly and mpartally there no occasion to
annlv if TO officers who were elected to and took
their seats in convention before they received the
order by mail.

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE.

The Importance of discipline every
one admits, and yet comparatively few
seem to realize what it really means or
how it is best to be secured. The
objects Of discipline are mainly two =
the training of the individual and the
maintenance of order. There are.
then, two things to be considered. the
individual and the school. Neither
must be neglected; both are equally
important All admit these truths,
but very few are agreed as to what
constitutes good discipline or the
means to be employed in reaching such
a standard. Two distinct kinds Of
discipline, however, may be observed
The first is a sort of formal discipTine
III which everything moves off with
all the precision of clock-work and the
slightest breach of decorum, no matter
now great the temptation, is visited
with speedy and condign punishment
Inc second is informal in its nature

prOmptness and precision are not insist.
ed upon, but such order is secured as
allows of the carrying out of the

pupil some individual liberty. The
first is more easily maintained; the
second is far better in its results OF
