In these days OF mothers clubs all
over the country and awakening inter.
est in child study the following list OF
topics for discussions and symposiums
is suggested for the benefit OF interested
mothers, They embody the IDEAS OF
several child educators and are as fol-
lows:
Importance OF joyousness IN children
and possibility Of forming habits OF
cheerfuness.
Necessity for confidence between par.
ents and children.
Music as an element Of gladness in
child's life.
Rebuking children before strangers.
ACCESSIBILITY OF restricting companion
ship to children.
Should the free display Of animal
spirits be encouraged or subdued in
child?
Corporal punishment, its aid in en-
forcing obedience.
Is there any danger Of neglecting the
moral nature 10 the high development
OF the intellectual?
Lying: is chill's imagination stunt.
cd il it Is made &c adhere strictly to
the truth?
Truthfulness towards child, even

Importance Of habituating the young

that he discussed this plan with Jeffer
son, Madison, franklin and other
thoughtful men Of that DAY. 1t Is a
constant surprise to find how broadly
they planned more than one hundred
years ago the foundations OF the uni
versity. Washington, 10 writing to Ed
ward Randolph December 10, 1874,
asked Randolph's assistance and that OF
Madison's in maturing measures relat.
ing to the endowment OF a national uni.
versity. Jefferson, on February %, 1896,
in a letter. encouraged and applauded
Washington's wish. Samuel Blodgett,
author OF the first formal work on Amer
lean political economy, was an earnest
supporter OF the plan. Washington
said The enterprise must not be tor
gotten. aud ! trust have not omitted
to take such measures as will at all
events secure the object in time"
Ia the next group OF great minds we
find John Quincy Adams championing
this wish o, Washington's. He said :
in surveying the city honored by his
name, he would now see the spot on
earth he had destined and bequeathed to
the use and benefit Of his country, as
site for university, still bare and bar.
rem" So, through the years since the
reading OF Washington's will, some
thoughtful mind has remembered, and
made others remsmber, this legacy left
by the Father Of his Country.
Twelve years ago, a group OF scholars,
called the Committee OF One Hundred,
led by Chief Justice Fuller, organized
for active work. Over year ago, this
Committee placed the movement in the
hands OF Mrs. Ellen Richardson. Of Bos.
ton, who has organized forty four states
and received into the treasury goodly
sum for the work. This unanimous re-
SPONGE shows that in the nations heart
the university is already erected, and
that reality OF brick and stone will
soon follow. An impetus was given to
the work last fall, by visit from Mrs.
Richardson to several Of the states. A.
ter meeting Mrs Richardson and listen.
ing to her plea, one can readily see why
she was chosen for the work. Her rare
combination OF executive ability, wo-
manly tact, s,ft voice. and gentle mar
ner won her friends wherever she went.
Her plan Is to organize a memorial asso-
citation in every county, II possible, and
her verdict lie, that where you find cul.
ture and intellect. there you ind also ar.
deut supporters OF the National Uni.
versity.

A Meeting Yesterday Failed In settle-
menl OF DIFFICULTIES.

A meeting of representatives of the
local hottiers' union and w. B. Silvers
& Co., yesterday, for the purpose of
talking over the present strike situa-
ton in which both are involved, did
not result in settlement of any kind
as was anticipated. The situation to-
day is practically where it was at the
beginning of the strike. A member Of
the union today said: ANY wage
scale less than $1.50 for men, means
.swet shop wages, and no honest
man can support himself for less. The
fact that we have been successful in
Inducing honest men to let Schlitz
is sufficient to show the strength of
organized labor in Ottumwa and sur
rounding territory. We deny any
statement to the effect that We would
rather ruin man than offer conces-
sion and appeal to the intelligence of
business and working men to the facts
that we submit in substantiation of
our claims.
within the period of a short gener-
alton the proprietors of the large
breweries in Milwaukee have become
millioninres, showing the immense
profit in the manufacture of beer. One
dollar and fifty cents per day for men
engaged in this work we claim is not
excessive. besides the general increase
| in wages throughout the United
