and Opportunity of Schools in Promot-
ing Patriotism and Good citizenship"
George II. Martin, superintendent of
schools, Boston, led the discussion. Joe
Baldwin of Austin, Texas. treated the
subject of patriotism of the southland.
He said that the great question in the
south is the lifting up of the colored
race to citizenship and it was being
done. He spoke in defense of the whites
in restricting the political rights of the
blacks. A. p. Marble, superintendent
of schools, Omaho, Neb., read a paper
on 1.-The Ethical Element in Patriot
ISM

Bartholomew, Louisville, KY; c. 3. Gil
bert, S. Paul, Mimi, and j. r. Preston,
state superintendent of Mississippi.
All agreed that the battlefield was not
the place for the display of the truest
patriotism and one of the highest du-
ties of the teachers was that of in
culcating love of home and native land.
School house patriotism was uniting all
sections of the nation. The morning
session closed with the singing OF
America" by the audience.

latter feels decidedly uncomforta bic if

New Hampshire is his native
state and he was born IN the

went to Boston as lad and embarked
in business there. Just before the
breaking out of the civil war he came
west and located in Chicago. 1t was in
June, 1S61-thirty-fo years ago-that
he became member of the police force.
He was just about of age at the time
and he did duty for about four years,
when he went into the government
service under Gen. Oakes. who was
chief muster and disbursement officer
In Illinois. Capt. Elliott was stationed
at Chicago Cor time and then went to

LA CONTE ON EVOLUTION.
The evening session opened with mu-
sic by the choir of the Broadway Chris
tian church, vice-President w. II. Bar
tholomew occupying the chair. c. w.
Bardeen presented the report of the
committe on neurology. 1t was read,
but ordered printed in the proceedings
of the convention.
Professor Joseph La Conte, Uuiver-
sity of California, read a paper on THE
Effect of the Theory of Evolution on
Education" The theory, he said. has
changed our whole view of nature and
man and modified philosophy and the
methods of education. By tracing the
highest 10 the lowest grades of ami
mails, the founa of today back 10 early
periods, the fully developed man back
10 the germ cell. and comparing the re-
suits, we have received all our knowl-
edge of biology. Man, body and soul,
came from lower animals life. Moth
ing come all at once, but everything is
by growth. The theory that man has
fallen from a state of perfection is dis
proved by evolution. The ideal man
is in the future and society is only the
means Of achieving it. and 10 this end
the interests Of the individual must be
subordinated to those of society. The
ascetic's idea that there was war be-
tween the pure soul and the impure
body is denied by evolution. II sub
ordinates the physical to the spiritual
but encourages both, the combination
giving strength TO one and refinement
10 the other.
W. L. Bryan, University of Indiana.
Bloomington. Ind, read a paper on
Science and Education" He said il
was hard to get science or any other
good thing wholly into the schools but
there was hope so long as such men as
the one who preceded him were work

AMONG Us. lis wife is q Frenchwoman,
Princess Anne Murat.
Count Agenor Goluchowski is forty
nine years of age and a descendant Of
on ancient family Of Galicia- Small of
stature, with broad shoulders, he has q
smiling face with grayish whislSers. He
was much liked in Paris for the vivacity
of his wit and the jollity of his tenn
permanent. There - nothing in his
career to warrant the elevated situation
to which he has been appointed. When
he was called to Vienna he was absent
from his post ut Bucharest. where be
had been appointed minister in 1887.
It Is said that he owes his elevation
to the friendship and to tho recommep-
Idations Of HIS predecessor. His position
iis not q sinecure. He has not only to
direct Austro- Hungarian diplomacy
but the affairs Of the two monarchies,
finances, war and the administration
OF Bosnia and Herzegovina The con-
Istitution requires that the common
ministry should render an account Of
its acts at Vienna and at Buda-Pesth,
before the delegations, and this al.
ways entails serious conflicts At this
game one must display tact and great
deal of suppleness.
When he quilted the political scene

tween France and Austria in q most
satisfying condition. During the four

ginning the alliance between Austria
and Germany had caused much sppre-

and Count Hoyos, ambassador at Paris,
worked sealously at correcting this i'm.

Everybody Is persuaded now that ths
triple alliance resembles the holy a,li-
ance after 1880. Austria has shown
that she Is resolutely attached 10 the
policy of peace. Count Goluchowski
will follow that tradition In spite OF
the march Of events since 1870, France
believes that Austria would have been
