Committee
The committee on permanent or
ganization recommended that the
temporary organization be made
permanent, which was adopted:
The committee on base of repre-
sentation agreed upon; Wetzel Is
and Tyler IS.
The committee on resolutions
recommended that the resolutions
adopted by the democratic con.
gressioral convention at Weston be
adopted.
Some of the delegates objected tc
the report of the committee on rules
and order of business, and A. B.
Hunt moved that as a substitute
that the rules and regulations that
hereafter may be adopted by the
convention, govern it. This caused
considerable discussion, but fually
carried On a division vote. After
the question had been decided, the
Tyler delegation split, and several
Of the delegates withdrew upon the
ground that the Wetzel delegation
was trying to run the convention.
After this contingent had returned

School architecture which is one

There was was no evening ses

Grammar and the technecalltles
Of the study was considered imme

RECESS.

Prof, Holden occupied a half
hour in the treatment of the law of
this and nearly all the states max
ing it obligatory to teach in our
public schools the ruinous effects
of alcoholic drinks and narcotics.
The instructor told the teachers
that there was every reason why
they should not only teach their
pupils that intoxicants are extreme
" hurttul to the body, the mind
and the morals. incompetence is
the greatest evil in the world and
teachers must do their part toward
combating with this great evil.
Professors Crago and Wilson con-
tinued this subject and it was made
very helpful to the teachers.
The query as to how far the jur-
isdiction of the teacher extends
was talked upon at length, the in
stitute agreeing that the pupil is to
a great extent under the teachers
care, from his home to the school
and until the child returns again
to the home.

NOTES.

A few typographical and other
errors crept into our report of yes
terday's proceedings. School-room
lore, or the learning of the school
room. was made TO read "love"
which was a confusing statement.
The teachers of Tyler are not
afraid to tackle technical sentences
in grammar.
Mr.. E. W. V. Poe, prominent
teacher over in Monroe county, is a
visitor at the institute and his
friends all seem glad to see him
here.
The teachers are the most attrac.
tive and orderly crowd that could
well be; but then, of course, they
ought to be.

month or more at their former home
in Canada. The blow will be q sad
one to them, and they will undoubt-

From the Minneapolis Journal.
Governor Clough has said that
no call for tie Fifteenth Mime.
sofa regiment Of volunteers would
be made until after July 1. His
present attitude seems to indicate
that sthe foregoing statement is
true. ~: - T. ,.e VI .,. Il
The state convention of the Re.
publican party will be held on
June 80.
The word comes to the Journal
from a military man not interested
in politics that the governor is de.
laying the plans for the new regi.
ment in order to haye such plums
as commissions and assignments
Of companies with which to sway
delegations to the state convention.
/ Without necessarily accepting
the statement as true, it must be
admitted that theres are several
features connected with the second
call for volunteers which appear
to confirm it. The governors de.
lay in calling for the boys to rally
to the country's defense may be
readily explained by the theory
that his excellency is swinging the
fifty odd commissions at his dis.
posal as glittering and allurinq

connection with the great conven.

Clough is absorblngly interested

would not hesitate to make military
