the foundation of all teaching. The
teacher Yields his influence, not from
the outside to a passive body, as does the
carpenter or the potter, but from the
inside. The process of child develop
ment is the process of growth; it is a
field of mighty responsibility. The ma
turalist can and does experiment on the
individual, for the sake of the species.
The teacher and parent must not sacri-
flee or even risk one child with expert
menting.
Child-study may run along two lines.
First, scientific study, as the growth of
typical child when data is gathered
from many children and inductions
drawn, as, for instance, regarding pun
ishment. Second, each teacher or pa
rent may become a student of the chill
dren Immediately before him, always
being guided by certain fundamental
rules that have been well tried. But
children must not be dealt with in the
abstract, collectively. Rather, each
should be studied with their individual
characteristics, traits and tempera-
ments.
Another line which President Ed
wards took up as being open to fal
greater development, was that of man.
ual training. He stated that that, too
had been much over-rated by enthusi-
asts, and that much which was so called
was not manual training at all. But the
essence of it, which might better BIZ
termed manu-mental training, ant
which meant an expression of thought
in the mind by means of manual work
was a most valuable accessory to edu
cation, in which there was yet left mucl
to be done.
This branch of education reaches th
mind through the imagination; develops
originality of both thought and expires
sion, and accuracy as well. 1t invites
progression Of thonght and action an,
stimulates originality of both. Blu
there must be a closer connection be
tween manual training and book work
since it is the latter that develops intel
lectuality.
All through his address President Ed
wards used specific instances in illustra
ton of his meaning, and in closing HI
maintained that there must be correla
ton of school work and home work, ant
a correlation of studies in the schools, t.
produce the best results, for the creates
good follows a general tendency towar,
one great purpose, not as several differ
ent parts, distinct in themselves an'
kept apart, but all as harmonious unit
Of one great system.
The address was followed by discus
sion, in which Dr. Norman Bridge, DR.
C. C. Van Lew, Mrs. Lou V. Chaplin an(
others took part. At the close Of the lit
erary exercises light refreshments were
served Mrs. Baker, the president o
the club, presided, and introduced thu

THOSE WHO ARE THERE.
Tidings From the California Bears
Who Are on the Ground


The prospectors' club. known as the
California Bears, is at present encamped
in a large forest of spruce trees near
Copper city. The club is composed of
the following members: M. ]. Marble.
Paul Tyson and Carlton Duryea of Los
Angeles and Messrs, Spencer and White
of Santa Ana.
Mrs. NJ. J. Marble, the wife of one of
the prospectors, yesterday received a
letter from her husband stating that so
far the weather has been very mild and
agreeable, the lowest temperature reg
istered being twenty degrees above zero.
Altogether the prospectors have been
very agreeably surprised, and state that
the many complaints of hardships re-
ported emanated from those insuffi-
ciently equipped or who encountered
weather much more severe than they
had experienced.
A great number Of campers were found
around Copper City awaiting a freeze,
when an attempt will be made to fol-
low the glaciers length to the interior.
Mr.. Marble and friends were advised to
wait, but will attemptto force passage
at once.
In regard to the recent murder, Mr..
Marble states that the two men who
escaped the cowboys wrath had since
been found decidedly disreputable char
acters and were ordered to leave the
country, which they did, arriving in
Seattle on the steamer Alliance on Feb
ruary I'd.
Mr.. Marble also mentions that an
$50. 900 strike has been made by a Los
Angeles man, but the name of the lucky
one could not be obtained.

Santa Barbara reports the engaging of

house, seating 1000 people, and expects
it filled to it's utmost capacity. In every
city in which Mr.. Towne is to deliver an
address like expectations are being en-

feet, and gazed curiously down into the
steerage, where the hunks and tables
stood to accommodate the 14O or more
passengers. The hunks were as narrow
as childs bed and so close together that
it will be a mathematical impossibility
to find space enough for an ordinary
sized man to turn over. The tables are
built Of rough lumber, with benches per-
manently attached, like those in a sea
beach pavilion, and the dining room and
bunk room are all one. Should there be
much sea sickness, the discomfort and
sanitary conditions can better be i'm
agined than described.
The crowd stood around watching the
cargo being loaded, most of the time to
the serious inconvenience Of the crew
doing the work, and later viewed the
sights of the future harbor city
The afternoon Terminal train brought
in five more coachloads of people, in
cludlng the remainder of the prospective
Copper river miners. The one man ofthe
morning who wore an orange colored
flannel suit had several others to keep
him in countenance, and Klondike boots
became quite numerous. The crowd
surged over the boat until the poor little
craft stood no chance whatever and the
crew stopped work, helpless in their eff
forts to keep a gangway for the trucks
and prevent the loads of goods from
landing on their heads.
The murmurs Of discomfort heard in
the morning grew louder and deeper
when the passengers inspected the quar-
ters they are to occupy for the next
eighteen days. They were promised first
class accommodations, for which they
claimed to have paid first-class price.

"NExT THING IN EDUCATION
President Edwards of Throop Poly.
technic Addresses the Ebell

A large number of ladies and several
gentlemen attended the regular monthly
social meeting of the Ebell yesterday af-
ternoon, to hear an address by President
Walter A. Edwards of Throop poly
in Education
President Edwards opened his re-
marks by stating that personal and
intelligent interest in education was as
necessary as taxes in assisting teachers
in their work. He then briefly reviewed
the past twenty-five years, which had
been fertile with new plans, new theo-
ries, new methods, along educational
lines, in science, history, literature,
manual training, etc., and particularly
the branch Of child-study that is rapidly
being brought to the front by the disci-
pies of Herbert and others.
He said that all these DEVELOPMENTS
did not necessarily mean progress In
themselves, but that all were good be-
cause they indicated movement; and
that as one glanced over the past, the
question that naturally followed was,
"Well, what next?"
The next, according to the speaker,
need not necessarily mean another new
PLAN; on the contrary, is 1t not the part
of wisdom instead Of seeking anything
new, to carefully review the old plans,
and see if more may not be made OF
them? They have not been exhausted,
and the next. If wise, will be a serious
and united effort to further exploit the
plans already in partial practice.
President Edwards then took up in
detail child-study, which, he held, had
been talked and written about ad nause-
um. He quoted Prof. Bonner of the
Leland Stanford. jr, university. in his
definition of child-s study. which is "the
direct inductive study of natural history
in human beings"
This study has endless opportunities
for development, and in reality lies at

maker, and Miss c. Cristie, a dress
maker and milliner. The ladies said
they had never had a genuine attack
of Klondike fever, but, on the contrary,
had decided to make the ven-
ture, after careful considera ton.
When they reach their destinations they
will try to, win fortunes tickle favor in
their several trades, and If not successful
at that, in any other honest way that
opens to them.
They We're provided with supplies for
year, with an abundance of heavy
woolen clothing, prefering that to fur
garments. Their sleeping bags are of
water proof canvas, with plenty of
blankets, and one lady was what the
Yankees call 'forehanded' enough to
provide herself with that time-honored
essential in the homes of our grand
mothers, feather bed. The goldseekers
of the o-called gentler sex were as
cheerful and hopeful of making a stake
In the Klondike country as any other Of
the passengers on the Alice Blanchard,
though it may not be done with miners
tools.
DOGS AND BURROS
-Four DuTTOS are among Ine i've STOCK
northward bound, and twenty-four
handsome big dogs of various breeds.
The most unique specimen in the lot
was native Alaskan dog, brought last
November from the Russian mission,
300 miles north Of st. Michaels, by e. F.
Tinker of East Los Angeles.
When the last train left for Los An
geles there were many fearful leave
takings, as fathers of families said good
by to wives and little ones, to be gone at
least year in the search for seductive
yellow gold. The vessel will leave her
moorings at high tide this morning.
PICKPOCKETS AT WORK
The festive pickpocket got in his work
on the unsuspecting crowd in fine shape.
Though there were two police detec-
tives on the afternoon train, ex-Police
Officer j. H. Conlee had his pocket
picked of 800, and was obliged to re-
turn to Los Angeles for more money
David Way Of Vernon was robbed of
$50; another man of $40, and still another
of a certified check on San Francisco
for $3.50. A special train on the Terminal
road left the city at HAS, on which two
police detectives went to San Pedro and

TIE 8 T FLEETS


WASHINGTON, May Ij.-How 20 cap
ture OF destroy the Spanish fleet no"
in the Caribbean Sea is the great war
question Of the hour.
Official information was received by
The state department this morning
from Consul smith, at Caracao, that the
Spanish squadron intended to leave
there today. and 70 is the belief Of the
naval war board that it is now or soon
will be on It's way to the point where
Eos GOLFERS are lying,
Our fighting and flying squadrons are
in quest Of the enemy.
Improving every moment Of the time
given il, as a result Of the present loca-
ton Of the Spanish men-of-war, the
naval war board was in session today
and when it adjourned at late hour
the members were confident that they
had taken every precaution that their
naval experience and best Judgment
dictated to defend their country and
bring early defeat 10 the enemys force.
1t developed today that, instead Of
two golfers. as has been believed, there
were four Of these vessels, carrying
about 5000 tons of coal. sufficient to re-
coal every shipof the Spanish squadron.
It. is believed by members Of the
board that the arrival Of the Spanish
squadron at CarneJa was due to the me-
