"Our hearts, our hopes. our prayers, our
tears
Our faith triumphant DER our fears
Are all with thee-are all with thee"
Miss Leichardt was next on the program,
and her topic, ION the Great Nations of
the World in Their Attitude Toward the
United States" was most carefully thought
out. Among other things she said: 1T
is rather difficult TO declare the United
States position among the nations, when
the war is not yet settled and the makers
of Biographies are having trouble in 10
eating the present nebulous boundaries Of
the United States dominions.'
She then gives the position of the United
States, both before and after war, and
says: I'VE and our form of government
have always been a problem to foreign
nations, and we have been proving to
Europe less and less what she expected US
to be"
sessions of the United States" was Miss
Mulveys topic, and she enlarged upon it
in her usual entertaining manner. Among
other things she said: at Is interesting
to note the rapidity with which the terrific
rial expansion idea has grown upon the
people of the United States. Nine months
ago the piping times Of peace were I'M
marred by even a thought OF war. Seven
months ago the people so rudely awakened
from their peaceful dreams by the rude
shock of the explosion of the Maine were
clamoring for war. the president, with
conservatism befitting his great RESPONSE
bilities, was opposing it. and nobody had
any idea of adding a single square mile
to our territory. Today. by the stimuli
taneous outreanhng on both sides, we find
ourselves in possession of 1900 square
miles more territory than we owned three
months ago.
In continuing she dwells upon the valu-
able accessions in the way Of fertile soil,
valuable forestry, beautiful scenery, con-
siderable industrial ambition and success,
a comparatively large degree of modern
educational methods, many recent scien-
tific improvements in the building of cities,
a good deal OF crude native custom and
lot of simple mindedness in the added ter
ritory.
Mr.. Carson was next on the program,
and his appearance before the teachers is
invariably hailed with delight His dis
course was most earnest and patriotic,
and the attention accorded by all was very
marked. His subject was THE Lessons
Taught by the War" He dwelt at length
o nthe second less/l, as he deemed it,
The greatness of Mckinley and said
that his wisdom through all had seemed
heaven born.
Mr.. Carson was several times interrupted
by applause, and his closing appeal to
patriotism was most enthusiastically re-
ceived.
what Shall Be Done with the Philip
pines?" was the subject of the paper read
by Miss Kelly. She said: Owing TO the
position of the Philippines, their disposal
becomes quite complicated
In continuing, bhe speaks of the feeling
of different nations toward the United
States and their consequent interest in the
disposal Of the Philippines. and closes with
There is SO much speculation on this sub
ject, we shall be forced to await the final
decision Of the peace commissioners to
answer our question, What shall be done
with the Philppines?'
Three of the Wars Heroes" was Mr..
Pence's subject and, in speaking Of Dewey
a sthe first hero, he said.
I'VE have often heard of people who
woke up some morning and found them
selves famous, but this man was must
ling kind of a hero. who rose before day
light and made himself famous before
breakfast"
His next favorite was Colonel Roosevelt.
Of whom he gave an interesting descrip-
ton But when Il came 70 selecting a third
hero. he said he was much divided among
Shafter Wheeler. Hobson and Schley.
Miss Dickinson was next on the pro-
gram. in a Plan Of Teaching Current
History in the Schools"
Did space permit. It would undoubtedly
be most interesting 10 print the pans set
forward by Miss Dickinson. as she is a
most earnest teacher. Her paper was
listened 10 with much attention. and was
probably an incentive to many teachers 70
he more thorough IN their teaching of cur
rent events.

program and. OF course. II was given 20
