Occupations for Primary Rooms.

Each recitation or class exercise
where the child comes into direct con-
tact with the teacher should be fol
lowed by some occupation which IS the
direct outgrowth of that lesson; an op-
portunity 10 give expression TO the
thought gained in the class. Too many
teachers are satisfied if this thought is
expressed in written language. and
often the children spend more time in
writing than is really good for them.
The child, like the adult. needs 20
objectify his thoughts: much Of his
thinking needs more than the oral or
written form 10 make il complete. In
the primary school We mas give the
child this opportunity for expression
through drawing upon the blackboard,
modelling in clay, constructing with
blocks and splints, cutting forms from
paper, using number by measuring and
comparing, and outlining forms with
sticks or lentils.
Another phase of desk occupation is
that which is done in preparation for
the class exercise; an important ele-
ment in this part of the work is imma-
diate use: the feeling on his part that
the piece of work on hand is being done
because it is 10 help in the lesson far.

which soon rises 10 enthusiasm. if pro-
pcrly directed by the teacher.

ELOQUENT MISS LEWIS.

Miss Helen Lewis OF North Carolina, an
swered the question often asked. whether
or not women would not become polluted
in politics. by saying. that, if that is true,
why are they not contaminated by associa-
tion with men.
bad women are held before us as hob
gcblins,'' said the speaker, but we care
nothing for this, for we know taat the bad
women are an insignificant minority as
compared to the good women"
Miss Lewis is an oratoh Of no mean
ability, and was listened 10 with close
attention. Prolonged applause followed
when Miss Lewis had finished.
Mrs. r. W. Southard, of Oklahoma, after
saying something descriptive OF her ter
ritory, said:
"The settlers of Oklahoma are progress
sive, typical Westerncrs, who believe in
fair play, and will vote for equal suffra ge
when they get an opportunity to do so, and
/ do not think we will have long to wait
for the opportunity, and, when the oppor-
tunity-is offered, we are going TO ask the
aid and advice OF every genuine reforiner
in this land to help us add one more State
to the Union, with equal rights to all, with
special privileges to none."
Caroline Mccullough Everhard of Ohio,
said that Ohio was not among the three
golden stars upon the banner, which repre-
sent the States that have admitted women
to equal rights for men. For this fact she is
sorry.

CAPTURED Her AUDIENCE
Miss Ellen Beach YaW in Concert
at Metzsrott Hall.
Sang Classic Songs DELIGHTFULLY."- and
Ballads for the Old SOu!s-Her
COMPANY Excellent.

Miss Ellen Beach Yaw was cordially and
enthusiastically received last evening when
she stepped to the footIights before a very
large audience at MetZerott Hall. in which
the musical culture of the city was wen
represented.
Those who had never seen Miss Yaw
before must have realized that the maiires
d'affiches are very grotesque when it comes
to introducing so charming q parsonage 10
the public on Il poster, as the Nightingale OF
the Pacific Coast. She wore a very becoin-
ing gown of yellow silk, over which there
floated many f!eecy clouds OF tulle, which
also appear red 20 advantage rs shoulder orna-
mentaticn. The gown was accented with
yellow roses and black silk points. Miss
Yaw. in this costume, is Sheley's skylark
idea lized.
The fair cIntatrice was liberal enough, as
she sang three encores in addition 10 her
two stated numbers, ''Ah fors' lui'' and
Bizets Tarantelle. One of her responses TO
the applause was an echo song in which she
reached b fiat in altissimo and sustained it
admirably. She sang the aria and scene
from Traviata superbIy and in the original
key.
The old soIIsi in the audience were charmed

what has already been said of Miss Yaw
by The Times. with the exception, perhaps,
that her second appearance, with the prom
Use of of a third. has made her an institu-
ton with the musical talent of the city.
In her concert company are the New York
Philharmonic Club. Miss GeOrgielia Lay

lished his reputation with the audience.
which was further increased by his dainty
handling of the fantastic scherzo, by
BasSini.
A prima donna very rarely receives such
unstnteI applause as that which was ac-
corded to Miss Yaw last evening. She sings
with ease ami Consummatc grace. Theexecu-
tion of the finale in her air from Iraviata,
was fine piece of work. Therangc. quality,
and power Of her voice have already been
briefly commented on.
1t Will please all her old friends. and the
many new cDes she captured last evening, to
know that Manager Rapley, of the new
National Theater, has engaged Miss Yaw
and her company for concert OF sacred
music, which will be given on Sunday, the

ploye and Is Said to Have Led a
Fast Life While Here.

Oliver L. Shanks. messenger in the dis
bursting office, Department Of Agriculture

terday afternoon, as missing.
He has not been seen by his friends and
creditors since Wednesday. January %.
The suggestion Is that he has left Wash
ington. either TO return to his home at
pany.
Shanss. came to Washington fifteen
months ago, secured a messensership which
paid $50 per month, took board at No. 235
Thirteenth street southwest, and six months
ago went into quarters at the boarding
house kept by Mrs. James II. Grant. No.
1916 street southwest.
He earned the reputation OF sporty kind
of young man, borrowed money, dressed
well. and told his acquaintances that he
played the ponies.
His father used to send him an occasional
remittance, and he received $40 from this
source. one month ago.
The description of him which was fur
nished the police follows: Twenty-Five
years old, five feet eight inches tall, 12O
pounds weight, reddish face, smooth shaven,
long nose. irregular teeth. hair parted in the
middle, round shoulders, right leg bowed.
and dressy.
An uncle. whose name is given as Will
liam n. Hartman, lives at The Cairo. 1t
was at the suggestion of his kinsnan that
a fellow boarder at the Grant boarding
house reported The absence of Shanks TO
the police.
One week ago Shanks sought to bor-
row SIS. and Watchman j. j. Wharton
directed him TO money lender. This
scrivener inquired of Wharton if the loan
would be safe, and received an adverse
answer. The money lender, after con-
sultation with the department paymaster
advanced Shanks S25 and took an order
on the salary OF the borrower.
Shanks. on Wednesday, gave his land
lady. Mrs. Grant. an order for $50 on his
salary. 1t was stated by what seemed
credible authority, though the statement
