DR.. HinsdaIe on the Benefit of
Using Mental Powers to the
Best Advantage.

DENVER, Col, July S.-During the
past twenty-four hours there has been
a great thrush of visitors and dele
gates to the National Educational as
ISOLATION. It was estimated that H.
600 visitors had arrived by noon to-
day. and that the total number will
exceed 14000 The regular trains have
been heavily loaded and a dozen Spe-
cial trains have arrived since last
night. The National Council of Edu-
cation continued it's session this fore
noon, when President Rounds an
nounced the following committee to
formulate a plan of carrying into eff
feet the suggestions in DR.. Sabins

Saturday:

George H. Brown, Illinois, and Earl
Barnes, California. The report of the
committee on pedagogics was given
by Di. 3. A Hinsdale, of the Univer-
ject being, 1.-THE Laws of Mental Con-
gruity and Mental Energy Applied to
Some Pedagogical Problems" The
doctor showed that the rules of teach
ing and the arrangements of studies
should conform to the peculiar con-
dition of the pupil mind, so that men
tai power be used to the best advan-
tage and mental fatigue avoided. The
paper was discussed by G.. P. Brown,

NORMAL EDUCATION.
The S1lpreme cOurt room having
proven too small to accommodate the
large number of spectators, the after
noon session was held in the audito-
rum of the Denver high school. The
report of the committee on normal
school education was given by the
chairman, President Cook, of the Illi-
nois normal school, The committee
had secured information from thirty
six normal schools regarding their Gus
toms on admission of students and
courses of work. The committee rec
commended that educational require
ments be not too high, and that prac-
tice be interspersed with theoretical
study after the first year of the nor
NAL course. The latter proposition
provoked very animated discussion,

he is really responsible for any OF
this destruction | never learned. II
the accusation were true 1t could mar
only the iringes of the excellence OF
the work which he did. England
had never before then been respected
and feared so much by the other ma
tons Of Europe as it was under his
rule and it never has been since his
day. OF the permanent results OF his
work we find the larger share in the
free institutions OF Great Britain and
America; these are his chief moDu-
ment, for he, the greatest sovereign
England ever knew, contributed to
their existence more than any other
man who ever spoke our tongue.
Within four year, will come the tr,-
centennial o! his birth; he deserves
that it be celebrated with honor.

where 10 tnd what is left OF the house
IN which Cromwell lived when in the
town. 1t is but a few steps from the
cathedral. You will also be Uniformed
that he lived chiefly on an estate
about one and a half miles to the
southeast.
1t was from Ely that he went to
the Long Parliament in 1910, and
Ely was his family home for some
years afterward. Following him to
London, nothing can be found of the
st. Stephens where he attended the
sessions Of the various parliaments
OF which he was member. Tuat
old home OF parliamentary lite has
been consumed by fire and replaced
by a more magnificent structure.
The remaining places with which
the presence of Cromwell is most
notably connected are the great bat
tleields of the civil wars. These are
Edgehili, Marston Moor, Naseby,
Dunbar and Worcester. We went
from Stratford on Avon about ten
miles eastward and found the little
town of Kneton. Several miles
farther, and to the southeast, is the
ridge of Edge Hill. In October 1912
the cavaliers poured over this hill
and descended the western slope from
which the streams flow into the
Avon a little above Stratford. After
crossing the narrow valley they
attacked the parliamentary troops
drawn up on some high land about
two miles from Kneton. The spot
of the main conflict is commemorate
ed by the name Battle Farms. The
engagement was indecslve, the old
descriptions of the conflict are too
vague tor exact knowledge of details
Formerly relics of the battle
were plowed from the soil Now
they remain quietly under the turf

July 2, 1644 he was busy in parlia-
ment and in the field Various lesser
engagements trained his powers, and
their greatness was now proved at
Marston Moor. We may find the
railroad station of Marston seven
miles west of York, and it is also
two miles north of the battlefield, in
the rear of the position taken by the
royal troops. Probably it stands in
the path taken by some of the defeat
ed cavaliers in their fight. The
tourist who comes here by train will
need to follow the road leading
southwark from the station which
descends by gentle grade until
within about quarter of mile from
Long Marston, where at its lowest
point he will find a suggestion Of the
White Svke, the old ditch which ran
between the two armies that day.
He is here at the extreme eastern
limit of the battlefield. Let him go
farther south near Long Marston,
and turn west on the road to Took
with, which is rather more than a
mile distant. The road runs directly
in the rear OF the Parliamentary
position, and lies south Oft. North
OF the road the ground slopes gently
to the ditch, south of it the land rises
more rapidly, thus making the parIl-
mentary position strong one. In

THE CRAWFORD COUNTY SYSTEM

Two or three times in the past the
Eagle successfully headed off the adop-
ton Of the Crawford county system OF
primary elections by the Republican
party of Sedgwick county. 1t WAS
originally adopted in PENNSYLVANIA for
the purpose of heading off heelers and
strikers and packed conventions. The
aim was commendable. but the system
proved not majority but plurality
system. In truth il is more the rule
than tie exception that the system
puts the majority AT the mercy of the
minority. Where there are more than
three men Offering for any one posi-
ton it is inevitable almost that the
nominee is only minority man bur
I weak one.
The Eagle said nothing one way or
the other touching the late action of
its party managers in this county in
adopting the Crawford county system.
Its unwieldneSs, eXpensiyeness and m

they learned that a hired noser had


been sent into their midst to smell out
whether they were violating 4 suInp-
ttiary law. or what the feeling of the

they had proceeded to kick the En-

ciety has hired ct 500 per month and
expenses to. drop on the gospel and
take UP and preach prohibition, ought
TO have been kicked out of the Meth
odist conference when his case came
up at Wellington.
In speaking for Wichita, the great
body Of our women and men are de-
cent, conscientious, self-respecting peo-
pie, who thoroughly believe that they
are as good as anybody else, and who
know that Wichita is a pattern for
moral rectitude. BY the evidence of
the late meetings held in this city there
are just about ten so-constituted and
who so believe to one who thinks our
place and its people all wrong. And
if Mr.. Police Judge Culver, or any
other walking delegate of the self
constituted noser crowd, comes to
Wichita TO insist that we are not able
10 take care of ourselves, or to run our
own town, the Eagle will stand by any
kick that will land the said delegates
in the middle of the street.

Bicycle Costumes in Parts.

Just now the ambition Of most women
appears to be TO ride the mans machine
the diamond frame, a lighter machine
than the ordinary woman's wheel; and
honestly believe that this latter whee
will soon be relegated 10 the limbo OF cur
iosities. Much the same thing will hap
pen with regard 10 the present costume.
Already the skirt is fast going; another
step and il will be but a memory. Here
is the orthodox and really fashionable
costume: Very full knickerbockers thu
folds falls below the knee, the appearance
being that OF skirt. and yet without q
skirt inconvenience: the waist may vary
but the most popular. especially VIII .
slim-waisted women, is that known as le
Bolero. And above all a mans ca or
hat, in warm weather Of straw, at o.her
seasons of felt. The stocKE.Ss may be OF
fine wool. black or dark blue: silk stock
ings are tabooed, and any color but black
or dark blue, such as stripes or loud
colors, are considered deplorable. Fin
ally, laced or buttoned shoes. but not
reaching above the ankle. Caters are a
blunder, and moreover they are apt 70
hurt.
All this is highly artistic when properly
worn; and yet the height OF perfection
has not been reached. Hundreds of BIZ
cyclists, men and women of irreproach-
able taste, are busy designing something
that will be better, and the fashionable
tailors are losing sleep in the quest for
some successful design. The bicycle world
awaits with an ovation the man of genius

Mystery of Paris streets

Here is an interesting extract from a
Paris letter:
Once and only once was IL given TO Paris
to be puzzled by a street singer The
apparition only lasted three months, but
while il lasted il was most perplexing
to US. One evening all the ioungers OF
the boulevards who were slipping their
beer or "strangling parrot. as the
French phrase has il TO describe the pro-
cess OF irnb:bing a dose of that subtle
poison, absinthe. were mildly bored by OBJ
serving the approach of three street mu-
sicians; one man trundied a piano, q
second carried a violin. and third.
tall, slight woman in deep mourning, her
crepe vail sweeping over her face, took
up her station between them. They
paused and prepared for action, where
upon many people, knowing the vileness
and discord Of street music, made ready 10
leave, when. TO the utter amazement OF
all TO the accompaniment OF two fairly
good instruments, arose in the night air
an exquisitely moduiated and very power
full female voice, singing with heart
break in every note, the wild wall OF
Traviata over her approaching death.
Gran. Dio. morir 81 giovane-" Perhaps
the voice gained by the surprise OF the
public, perhaps il was aided by the still
ness OF the sultry air, but certainly IL
sounded most G.SlEe. IEunOers OF dp-
plause and rain OF coin, both gold and
silver, rewarded the trios efforts; but
they never gave but two songs per even
ing and then disappeared. The adventur-
GUS men who followed the supple grace
of the woman's tall figure returned dis
committed, scared away by the truculent
aspect OF her two companions. During
that whole summer the strange band
would appear every night, and every
night would reap a harvest; but when
the summer departed they. too. vanished
and never again reappeared. The Yelled
Songstress. as she was called, came from
the darkness and vanished into the night,
and who she was or where she vanished
is mystery. OF course. the police knew )
but the archives of the prefecture are
sacred from the gaze of the profane; and
as that IS the case. and as Paris forgetS
as speedily as she adores wildly We had
the arithmetical puzzle, maud. the light

that autumn in front Of the c1fes. SO the
Yelled Songstress sank out Of sight. and
the waves of oblivion have closed over
her now and forever.

CREED AND CUCUMBERS.

| Rev. Washburne passed through the
! city of Waukomis, the other day, with
| his wagon full to the brim with cucum-
/ bers. On top those cucumbers percheG
| two ducks.
The reverend gentleman was known
to the citizens of the place, although he
| did not live there, but further north in
| the next county. These citizens chal-
lenged the gentleman Of the cloth on
his freight and he answered that he
had been preaching up On Bear creek
and the people there, having nothing
else, had paid him in cucumbers and
two ducks to boot.
The good gentleman thereupon pur-
sued his journey, the nice, cool, en-
erald cucumbers jOstling one another
goodnaturedly, and the ducks quack-
ing a conversation between them,
based on the likelihood of rain. He
probably arrived home near nightfall
Imagine the childish laughter that
greeted him at the gate. Imagine the
baby feet mounting the dusty wheels,
aided by chubby hands, to examine the
treasure their good father had brought
home. Imagine their delight on the
discovery Of the ducks, and also i'm
agine a steady diet of three weeks of
duck and cucumber, with the duck
petering out after the third day. Think
of the inefable delight Of raising an
adult appetite by hard work in the
field and rushing home at the sound
Of the CHEEKY dinner bell and sitting
down to sumptuous feast of cucum-
bers. When the shades Of night are
falling and the world is at peace, see
the bright light on the table, the happy
family gathered around, the venerable
father giving thanks for their daily
cucumbers and the family falling to,
n minute later, and chucking the pro-
genitor Of the pickle into themselves.
This is all imagined. No such thing
takes place. The diet is not always
cucumbers. The good man is off in a
day or two to another settlement, and
is paid in potatoes; or another day in
chickens; another in tomatoes; so that
the menu at home is varied and is not
Of the cruel mOnotony suggested by
the cucumber incident at Waukomis.
But with a diversified diet the Okla
homa minister does not tread path of
roses. His pay is usually in the pro-
ducts Of the farm; his work unsteady
and haphazard; but despite those draw
backs his audiences are sincere and de-
vout. He meets them by appointment
on Sundays in the little school houses.
He INDUCES in the exploitation Of no
fad; he splits no hairs on heretical dam
gers; he questions the tenets of no
creed; he urges no expediency for po-
litical reform. He breaches on the
beauty and greatness of brotherly love:
he tells the story of the Saviour over
again, and expounds a parable: leads
in the hymns and loads up his wagon
with his pay" and drives across the
wide prairieS homeward, the friend of
all men. the enemy of none; the aggres-
sor OF no faction, put the adjudicator Of
all differences: not a reformer; but a
minister of good.
There are scores of such evangelists
in oklahoma and they are doing q /
great work. though the temporal re-
word for services may at times result |
in an Over-supply of cucumbers.
