General Botha's tactics are to avoid
important engagements and to keep
threatening the British at various
points. The great mobility of the
Beers aids this plan. General De
Wet has penchant for acting Oh the
lines of communication. The Beers
have driven their focks and herds
northward to Lydenburg, so that
the main part of the food supply is
secured. A great quantity of gold
bullion is still in the Boer treasury,
probably e3,5O0,00O sterling ($l7,oa2.-

ALLIES TAKE YANG TSUN
American Troops Play Z Brilliant
Wa. Part In Victory,

"
washington August 1o.-The cap
ture of Yang Tsun, the first object
i've point of the international fort.S''
was the supreme news OF Importance
received Yesterday on the Chinese sit
uation. The first word came in a
brief dispatch to the signal office at
the war department from Colonel
Scrivcn, the signal officer at Che Foo,
spying: .- 81.
"Che Foo, August 9.-Signal to
Washington: August 6.--Yang Tsung
Wo captured to-day. Wire up. Need
our own transportation. All are
well. ,.: ... Scrlven.
Half an hour later message came
from General Chaffee, giving addi-
tional details of the capture and
showing that it had been at cost
OF about sixty casualties among the
American troops. General Chatfee's
dispatch is as follows:
Yang Tsun was occupied today.
The wounded are Second Lieutenant
Frank II. Long, Ninth infantry. mod
crate. casualties, about sixty men OF
the Ninth infantry, Batter + and the
Fifth artillery. Nearly all are from
the Fourteenth. Names later. Many
are FRUSTRATED from heat and fatigue.
Hardly less important was a dis
patch from General Terauchi, second
il. command on the Japanese staff,
sent to he war Office of Japan and
stating that the international army
would total $4,000 men on August Is,
at which time the real advance OH
Picking would begin. General Ter
auchi's dispatch stated that on the
4th, when it was forwarded. the adj
vance had not va; begun. This was
at first incomprehensiDle i'll view of
the fact that fighting has actually
occurred. But the later statement
that the international force would
total $4,000 1nen on the 18th. appears
to make clear General Terauchis
meaning and to reconcile it with Gen-
eral Chaffee's dispatches. The pres
ent movement, of some 10000 men,
doubtless is viewed in the light of a
reconnaissance in force. This makes
clear the meaning of General Chat
fees dispatch that Yang Tsun is an
Important strategic branch of the
fast maturing military plans. The
rlace is about eighteen miles from
Tien Tsin and little less than
quarter of the way to Picking. Colonel
Scriven's statement, wire up con-
tains much meaning. as it is ac-
cepted as showing that there is di-
rect Geographic communication with
the army in the field.

Major General Macarthur, the mill

General Alejandrino, a leading rebel
commander, are negotiating for the
surrender, under the amnesty proc

Central Luzon. These rebel forces
include those under Coils. Lucuna and
Tecson, who captured Lieut.. Alstaet-

army headquarters in Manila failed
to confirm the report of any such
negotiations being on foot. 1t is
known, however, that General Mac
Arthur has been in constant confer
ence with the rebel politicians and
military leaders with the object of
bringing about peace otherwise than
by fighting. On Saturday last General
Macarthur, with an escort of officers,
went to San Fernando and met Ale
jandrino at conference which had
previously been arranged. Accord
ing to the Filipinos, General Alejan-
drino then made his offer to surren-

certain conditions, which were not
made public. The result of this con-
ference is not known. At it's conclu-

Great Necessity For Normal Training
Schools Explained.

Normal schools in the United States
are rapidly coming TO be recognized as
IN integral part of the public school
system.
State normal schools have been es.
tablshed in every state in the union,
except Ohio, New Mexico and Arknn.
sas. New York has ~. PENNSYLVANIA
l2. Wisconsin Z, Massachusetts q, West
Virginia 6,and all the other states from
one to five,
That Ohio should establish and
maintain State Normal Schools is ev-
Idcnced by the following considcrl.
tions:
First:-It has come TO be an accept
ed fact that trained teachers are as
necessary TO teaching as are trained
professional men in the practice of
professions. This granted, 1t follows
that every state which demands the
highest grade of teaching should pro-
vide schools for the training of teach
ers.
Second;-Educational training to-
day, ns can he noted In the great edu.
cational journals OF the country, Is in
the direction Of ultimately requiring
professionally trained teachers In all
of the schools. The great city school
systems of the country are already de-
mandlng professionally trained teach
ers, or teachers having had number
of years of successful experience as n
condition precedent to their being
considered eligible for city positions.
In the standard OF the teaching quail
liicatIon, the cities are entitled to no
more than the country schools.
Thlrd:-ohio teachers ought not to
be compelled TO go into other states to
obtain such professional training. Nor
NAL schools at home open the doors of
pedagogical training to large class
that cannot afford the expense attend.
ant on obtaining such training at n
distance from home.
Fourth;-If Ohio has trained teach
ers from other states, 1t must be OBJ
vious that greater Inducements are of
fered. If 1t could be computed Il
would be found that the advance In
wages paid trained teachers in the
state of Ohio above what these same
teachers would receive In the state In
which they We're trained, would main
