G. Stanley Hall Advises
Fighting, Teasing and
Scolding.

Chlcago, April 5.-That boys should be
taught to fight, that teasing and scold-
ing are all right, that the badness in
children needs to be stimulated, that
they should be RECALLED with stories of
bloodshed and that corporal punish
ment is necessary, were some of the
ultra statements made yesterday by
President G. Stanley Hall of Clark Uni
Versity, at Worcester Mass, in an adj
dress before the School Of Psychology
at Hendel hall
President Hall opened the course
before a crowded house almost en-
tirely women, his subject being THE
education Of the heart" He expanded
his theme as he went along and much
Of his lecture was on pesstmlsm and
the philosophy Of pain and pleasure.
Pain he thought, greatly predOmin-
ated over pleasure IN human life, as a
whole. He said there was much need
less suffering, and the area Of pleasure
could be broadened. If it could not the
chief argument for education and civil
ization was lost. Pain was the chief
stimulus in evolution, and where pain
is removed growth is retarded.
Mr.. Hall said any child that did not
suLLGI pain DcCdlIlt SOul hHu 5elllSiAs L1C
thought blood curdllng stories were
good for children. He thought it was
a good thing for boys to fight. as it de-
veloped their physical and moral cour-
age. Punishment, he thought, was
necessary, and a good scolding vocabu-
larry was desirable. Teasing and bully
ing were commendable, but should be
moderated by parents. 1t was a great
mistake for child to grow up too ten
der-hearted. Some children were so
negative and inanimate that the bad
ness in them needed to be stimulated.
Fear stunted the soul of children, ana
the time would come when the educa-
tor would begin by diagnosing the fears
of children. Anger was a necessary
part of character and education, and,
where a child was deficient In 1t, he
should be melted to 1t. For this reason
he approved of boxing, as it excited an
ger and gave opportunities for learning
to control it.

RAIDS and RIOT.
Brigands Cause Trou-
BILE in Rural Cuban
Provinces.
TROOPS COMING HOME.
Arrangements Being Per-
fected for Their Rapid
transportation.

Havana, April 5.-Plantation raids
horses by outlaws are reported today
as taking place in the provinces OF
Puerto Principe. Santa Clara, Matanzas
and Pinar del Rio. The Cuban troops
in those districts are chasing the
marauders. No United States troops
thus far have been sent after them.
The military administration intends to
suppress the so-called bTigands at
points widely separated by means OF
the rural guards, and has no present in,
teptlon of Sending American cavalry or
infantry through an unknown and tan
gled country after these nimble thieves.
Six companies of the Forty ninth
Iowa volunteers left today for Savan-
nah by the steamer San Antonio. They
win be quaPantined ct Pulaski. The
Third Kentucky regiment, now at
Matanzas, win leave soon The trans
ports Fitzpatrick and Florida are due TO
arrive here by the end Of the week. and
a day or two later will probably see a
majority Of the volunteers now re-
naming in Cuba on their way home
ward.
Rumors recently circulated to the eff
feet that the headquarters Of the gov
ernor general will soon be removed to
the city of Santa Clara, are absolutely
denied by Gen, Brooke. 1t is reported
that hereafter the editors of papers
will be held responsible for articles
published by them. Heretofore in
dividual writers have been held legally
accountable, and the editors have hired
scapegoats to serve out the sentences
imposed for articles infringing the
law.

Manila, April 6, 10 As a. nl.--The Unit

been cruising along the west coast of
Luzon 10 the northwest, sent boat In
shore near Dagupan, last Saturday, to
make soundings.
The rebels opened fire, wounding an
American officer. The cruiser there
upon bombarded the town, the insur-
gents evacuating It.
A Spanish banker who WAS inter
viewed expressed fear that the procla-
nation would not reach~the masses con-
trolling the rebellion, because, he ex-
planned, the Filipinos at Manila are
mostly domestics and clerks. who had
no definite opinions, and the Wirs-pull-

the masses here is the gun.

There are persistent rumors current
today that Aguinaldo, the insurgent
leader, has been supplanted in the con-

Luna, commander in chief OF the Fill
