AT THE NORMAL SCHOOL
Miss Amalie Hofer Addressed Faculty
and Students Yesterday

Miss Amalie Hofer addressed the nor
NAL school students yesterday at 11;st
o'clock In the large assembly room. Miss
Hofer made a strong point of the present
demand In our educational scheme fol
leading the student into relation with
humanity. The aim of all education
should be to give an insight into and q
sympathy with existing human condi.
tions, and not merely to present phases
or civilizations that have passed.
The thought expressed in the brief ad-
dress was warmly seconded by the edu-
Gators present, whose opinions were
voiced by Principal Pierce. He stated
that the attitude Of the normal school
faculty In this matter is so to balance
the work that students will be able to
know men and things rather than to be
dependent upon what a textbook course
would provide. I'VE are and shall be as
interested in what you read and how
you read 1t as we are in your curriculum
work" Mrs. Rice conducted several
songs. which were sung with excellent
expression by the entire body of
students.
Miss Hofer visited various depart
ments of the school and expressed her
self as delighted with the spirit of the
work.

SUBJECT FOR DIPLOMACY.
Probable Protest Against Spain
Sending Arms to Philippines.

New York, Oct. 1O.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: The
United States may submit diplomatic
eminent against its action in sending
a Spanish auxiliary cruiser loaded with
arms and ammunition to the Philippines.
In any event, the matter is under conSfd-
Grafton and it is believed has been called
to the attention of the American COM
missionerS in Paris. The cruiser in queS-
ton is the Buenos Ayres, belonging to the
Spanish auxiliary navy, which Rear Adj
miral Dewey reported to the navy de-
partment several days ago, is due at Sin
gapore Oct. Is. 1t is appreciated by the
authorities that Spain has the same
right in the eyes of International law to
send reinforcements TO the Philippines as
this government has, and any protest
acter, and simply designed to mage it
plain that the continuance of the voyage
of the Buenos AyreS is Objectionable.
On the other hand a member of the
cabinet tonight said that all the Philip
pine islands except Manila are in nominal
possession of Spain and that it is her
undoubted privilege. if she deems it adj
visable to do so, to send troops to the
eastern islands to SUbdue any inSurree-
ton that may occur. Another member
of the cabinet who talked the matter over
with the president. admitted that Spain
has the moral right to dispatch reinforce
of their government are in control it is
within its authority to prevent such rein
forcements reaching their destination.
However, it is not expected that the mat
ter will go beyond protest, a. it goes
that far.

a turbulent effort to get through. Then
the water surface above begins to sink

cling around and around, and rushing
ever faster. toward the center. AT

the water in the tub is whirling, slug
