Grafton implies the working together
OF two or more forces towards COM
mon end. In this work of education
here are the two great forces, the home
and the school. each with it's prime
controller, the parent and the teacher.
and surely there is the common end
How, then, may the working to-
gether be accomplished?
Three things must be taken into CO.'S
sideratlon:
l. The duty of the parent to the
school.
2. The duty of the teacher to the
home.
3. The duty of both to the child.
1t is the right and the duty of parents
to know the teachers who have so
large a share in the training of
their children. They should know
something of their motives, their
thoughts, their character, their plans
and methods. They should sympa-
thize with them in the difficult work
they have on hand. When they make,
mistakes they should call their atten-
tion to them in a kindly way, instead
of discussing their failings before the
children or their neighbors.
1t is the duty of parents to know
something of the modern methods of
education: to study the new ideas that
are stirring the pedagogical world,
the kindergarten. manual training, in
dividual development, and all the grea
educational questions. They should
demand healthful environments aud
ennObling surroundings in the schools,
and should see to it that these are
supplied.
Iu the next place. teachers have a
part in bringing about this co-opcra-
tion. They have a right to know the
parents of their pupils and should
make an effort to get acquainted with
them. They. must put themselves in
sympathy with the parents, understand
something of the home environment.
recognize the hope. the ambition, the
love. that is centered in each little
being under their charge.
In the third place, the duty of both
to the child:
First, and chiefiy--Both parents and
teachers owe it to the child to study
him. TO know his Individuality. to
understand his needs and limitations.
and to furnish him the best opportu-
nifty to develop the highest that is in
him. They owe it to the child to cul-
tivate their own powers. for .'self-cul-
ture and child-nurture go hand in
hand. They should unite all their
forces to discover what is the right
training and then bring together their
best efforts to accomplish it.
There is belief common among
American parents that their children
will eventually turn out we'll anyhow.
that good blood and inherent common
sense will tell in the end, no matter if
they are a little wild and wayward
when growing up. This is a danger
Gus belief. and may account for the
fact that many bright boy, who came
from good family and who started
out in life with every promise of use
ful and respectable career, is now clos
ing it in Il felon's cell.

WOMEN ADVOCATE
STOPPAGE OF WAR

The Hague May 26.-Madame Selenka.
the famous peace advocate and promoter
of the woman's peace crusade, presented
to NJ. De Staal, president of the peace
conference and head of the Russian dele
cation, an illustrated album containing
the text of the resolutions in favor of
peace adopted by meetings representing
several millions of women. The album
was accompanied by an address 'in the
name OF the women of eighteen nations,
saluting the conference. assuring the
delegates of the faith of the memoralists
in the results Of it's labors, begging that
the hopes of the people might not be de-
ceived and that the conference would de-
eide that the evils of war could be cured.
The address concluded as follows:
Your sisters, on behalf of humanity,
appeal to you to realize the ideal of fra
ternity in order that war and tyranny
may perish with the century"
NJ De Staal had written Madame Sc
lenka that he could receive her for five
minutes, but he was so interested that
he kept her for half an hour.

Before the Philippines Can be
Conquered.
CAN NOT HOLD TERRITORY
That Has Been Taken on Account OF
Not Being Able to Spare Men for
Garrison Duty.

Manila, May 26.-The events of the
past weeks have emphasized the need of
a much larger army here, without which,
according to the best authorities in Ma
nila, it would be attempting the impossi-
BILE to expect to maintain supremacy in
the Philippine islands. The inadequacy
of the American forces is said to be re-
sponsible for the large loss in the num-
ber of small encounters without material
results as compensation.
Most of the fighting has been in terri
tory which the Americans had swept, but
had been compelled to abandon because
they could not spare the troops to hold it.
Foreigners who have arrived here from
the insurgents country under the recent
order Of expulsion, say the cemeteries in
all the towns are filled with fresh graves
The majority of the Filipinos wounded
die, because the insurgent hospitals are
inadequate. medicines are scarce, and
they have few surgeons except Spanish
captives who have been impressed.

EXPEDITION TO
SEARCH FOR ANDRE

Copenhagen, May 26.-The expedition
under Prof. A. G. Nathorst which is to
search along the northeast coast of
Greenland for Prof. Andre the mission
aeronaut, has sailed from Helsingborg,
Sweden. Prof. Nathorst's relief party
sailed on the steamer Antarctic, of which
he is part owner. A wealthy Norwegian
merchant named Hammes will defray al
most the entire cost of the expedition.
After carefully examining the region be-
tween the 73d and 18th degrees north
latitude, Prof Nathorst will proceed to-
ward Cape Bismarck, on the coast of
Greenland in the hope Of meeting Capt.
Sneverdrups' expedition, which left
Christiana last June on the Fran.
His theory is that Andre, If alive, is
probably on the northeastern coast of
Greenland. He argues that If the miss
ing aeronaut landed in Greenland and
TOOK the east coast route to the south,
several years must elapse before he could
work his way without ship to the near
est settlement The relief party consists
OF SIX scientific men besides DR.. Nathorst
and crew of 13. The plan is to head for
Janmayen, an island in the Arctic ocean,
and then to follow the ice until an OPEN
ing is found through which the shore can
be reached.

FOR SHADWELL

Special to the Inter Mountain.
Helena, May 26-The supreme court
this afternoon granted a new trial to
Robert Shadwell, convicted of murder in
the first degree for killing Red OConnor
and who was sentenced to be hanged.

two bolts out of the boiler each an

not to jump from the train in time of

were effective only until the steam
was out of the boiler; but finally the
