Educators are divided III their opinions re-
speeding the propositions laid down in Arch
bishop Ireland's paper. One man said: "A
concession will have to be made one way
the Bible must either be kept from the public
schools or not. If you give the Catholics the
privilege-well, you must go further and
allow like privilege to other denomlna-
lions. This being the case, why should not
the Catholics and others eoncede the Bible?

the American people will not tolerate the in
struetiOn of one faith III the schools to the
exclusion of the others. This fact should De

1t is to be regretted that Inspector Hughes
was given place at the tail end of yester-
days programme. He had come specially
from Toronto to address the teachers, and
instead of magnificent audience, he had q
small company, apparently tired of listening
to educational essays, and by ones, twos and
threes they marched out of the church. Such
procession is very discouraging to speak
er, and was hardly fair TO man OF such
prominence as Prof. Hugees.
The musical programme last evening was
given under the direction of Miss Lillian

Fritz Schlaehter were the performers, Miss

ond piano by Miss Morton. Fritz Schlachter
gave cello solo.
w. A. Carrot, the pres;dent-elect, is a
Southerner and his election is being kicked

should not be allowed to run the convention.
Officers of the association express them
selves well satisfied with the way IN which

No one should miss seeing the exhibits in
the armory, the manual training school and

made for admission, and everybody is in
vIted.

Journal, of Cincinnati, is accompanied by
his trip TO the Pacific via Portland next

mortal. 1t was too much for the teachers

doors, and doubt was expressed whether
there would be any remaining at the close.

spoke for forty-Seven minutes.

sitien to the Bennett law. His antl-Cathollc
sentiments were also loudly applauded.
Many people wonder why IL Minnesota man
has not been elected TO an official position in
the educational association. The reason is
that Minnesota now holds the seeretaryship
OF the National Educational council.
