ANXIOUS TO SERVE IN CHINA
Numerous Applications Received by
 War and Navy Departments.

Washington. July 12.- Hundreds of applications arr being received daily by the war and navy departments from young men in all parts of the country who want to fight in the ranks cf the army of the navy against the Chinese. In many eases the applicants offer the services of whole regiments.
 In the absence of congressional au- thority none of these applications can be acted upon favorably.

The only possible way for an applicant to serve in the navy in China at this time is by enlistment at a recruiting rendezvous on the Pacific coast, but there is no certainty that he would secure an assignment to a ship des- tined for service in the orient.
 The enlisted strength cf the gUlar army is about four thousand of the ment is endeavorinE to secure that number of men for assignment to ill up the regiments in the United States which are destined for service in the Philippines or China.

 "The problem of instruction in the grades is fOurfold problem: Evolu- tien of child. curriculum, method and personality of teacher.

McCuIloch of St. Louis, who took as her subject. "Froebel's Mother and Cossetting Songs, with Practical Illustrations Miss McCulloch was fol- lowed by Miss Mari Ruef Hofer of Chi cago. who considered at length the edu- catiCnal use of music for children under the age of seven years.
 Miss Emma A. Newman of Buffalo spoke of the Kindergarten and the pri- mary school in relation to the child and to each other. Miss Newman said in part:
 "EdUcation. in common with all other departments of life and thought, is passing through a period of restlessnsss and transition. Slowly the deductions of ages are being harmonized and ap- piled to present day conditions. The principles underlying the kindergarten system are now recognized as sound psychologicaIly and true to child na- ture. Its opponents are less inclined to contend over details of method, more ready to look for results in the child ren's lives. know better what these re- suits should be. Briefly stated, kinder garten training should give the child d certain measure of sclf-cOntrOl, en- larged and more definite mental con tent, increased power of concentration of mind. and of self direction, greater facility of expression in language and concrete work.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Grand Avenue Not Proper Place
 for Horse Racing.

Grand avenue has been subject of comment at various times for q great many reasons, but just at the present time il is becoming notorious as d race course for people who like to speed l their horses in harness, oblivious to tte comfort or safety of others. and at tached to shices of all sorts from single buggies to freight wagons. Be- ing outside the corporation there is nu speed limit by law and the scarcity of officers in that vicinity gives reckless horsemen all the opportunity they want to break their own necks and the necks of others in their efforts to throw dirt in the eyes of whenever may chance to pass that way.
 Last evening Claud Arthur was driving in from Alhambra when two buSgies passed him at terrific speed. forcing him almost into the ditch at the roadside in his efforts to keep out of their way. Next came a six-horse freight wagon numbering along at three minute gait with a drunken driver urging the faithful horses to new endeavor with well handled whip.
 By shrewd driving he was enabled to give them all the right of way, but iiAbiC ldl tiltl tIl met two NO0leu qua two children in the road in deep dis tress. They were Miss Gray and her sister, a Mrs. Porter, the two children belonging to the latter. and one of them babe but two or three months old. all residing on Indiana street.
 Mrs. Porter was lying in the road in an unconscious condition and bleed ing profusely from a severe wound in the back of the head. The others were but slightly bruised. Mir. Arthur placed them in his buggy and took them home. Before he left. Mrs. Porter had regained consciousness and seemed to be resting well. They told him they were driving along the avenue. their horse in a walk or dog trot, when the two buggies came racing by and one of them ran into their buggy, throwing them out with results above described. This is by no means the first occur renee of the kind and MT. Arthur says that only a few weeks ago he picked up a young man that had been sim ilarly left bruised up in the middle of the road.

BUSINESS EDUCATION.

Charleston, s. C.. July 12.-The de- partment of business education Of the National Educational association held it's first session today, with Carl C. Marshall of Battle Creek, Mich, presid- ing. Those present included represen- tatives of many of the leading business and commercial colleges of the country. Addresses of welcome were delivered by Professor A L. Stokes, representing the business schools of the south. and James NJ. SeignioUs. speaking in be half of the business men of Charleston. Responses were embodied in the annual address of President Marshall. Dr. Cheesman A. Herrick, of Philadelphia. followed with paper on "The Content and Educa tional Value of a Course for a Secondary School of Commerce." ." Among other things pr. Herrck said:
 Scientific and industrial education have won their battles. but new claimant now presents itself for educ1- tional recognition-a claimant that reckons with new vocation that seeks to apply science and culture to another set of social activities Education for business life. and the terms are used
 in broad sense. meaning both educa- 
 statement. of it's case. What are the aims of education for commerce. what are to be it's instruments and how shall the instruments be so utilized as to realize the aims? How much of the old shall be retained in what we pro pose as the new? These and other phases of the problem present them selves, but I have taken narrow. oh . I,n general question for consideration. viz:
 what shall We put into the curriculum of a secondary school of commerce and
 what can We make it worth as a means of training. The curriculum of the secondary commercial school is the crUE of this question for secondary edu- cation, and the secondary school as a whole is the boundary line of the contending clements in the situation. It seems to be fundamental to our pres ent thought that higher education may deal with any subject from Arabic to electricity. and trade and commerce are being readily admitted into the sis terhood of college and university studies. We are also agreed that the element of vocation should enter slight ly if at all, into the elementary school.
 Other papers read ann discussed be- fore the business department were as follows: Profitable Publicity; q Study of Advertising as Applied to Business Colleges by W. J. Wheeler of Birm- ingham. Ala; ''Thc Commercial High School" by William E. Doggett of Brooklyn; Should Our Colleges and High Schools Educate Men Especially for Business?" by Woodford D.

LlOrarv of n

the Educational Association et6oGPr;teS. ton was the presidential address delivered by Charles B. Wilson of the Massachu- setts State Normal school. in the course of which he severely criticized the na- ture study work of the graded schools. In the course of his remarks MT. Will son said:
 The college professor of science pre- fers that his students should receive no training at all rather than the one which they get from nature work in the graded schools. For. as taught st present, such work introduces unscien- tific methods and inaccurate data into the chlIds mind at a time when it is
 most plastic and most likely to retain them. On the other hand. the teacher or nature work regards the advanced science of the college or university as very unattractive, as beyond her com prehension, and of no immediate bene- fit in her teaching
 Ih@ 1lrst two of these objections are unfortunately often true. the last one never can be. The causes of such an unhappy relation are not far to seek. There is first that common cause of SO much that is wrong in the world. in- nate selfishness, which, in science teaching, manifests itself in consider ing ones own pet subject as the center or the educational system, around Whlch everything else revolves. This Is the error hardest to eradicate be- cause It has the deepest hold on human nature. Another cause lies in the fact that We regard graded schools and the high school as a fitting course fo col IeSe, and we pay more attention to the quantity of work done than to the quality. The college can never be an end of common school education, but is itself only another and higher means toward the one common end of all in struction, human life and human char acter.'

FALSE REPRESENTATION.

Washington, July 12.- The good i'm pressiOn made by the edict of the Chi nese governmtnt given out by Min -ister Wu yesterday threatens to be off,
 a somewhat today by reports from
 - don stating ,1ha- Prince-JJEan was the real author of this edict and that some of it's most forcible anti-for ign language was omitted from the version given out here. But at the Chinese legation these intimations from Lon don are dismissed as groundless. The dispatch was received here in Chinese; that is, in numerals, by which the Chi nese government transmits it's official code messages. This, in itself, it is said. indicates that it came with the sanction of those in imperial authority, as the official code is not known outside of this limited circle.

COLD AND WET WATER
Geo, Kirkland's Experience at Pres
 colt and Iron Springs.

George Kirkland returned yesterday colt, mostly Prescott. He is delegated by the colony to dispel a false impress sion here that there is no water at the springs. They led him around to the spring and took the cover off and let him See it. Then they let him put his hand into it. It was cold and wet. After having accustomed himself to it they gave him d drink of it. MT. Kirk land said he never imagined water could be so good.
 What happened to him afterward is thus told by the Journal Miner.
 George Kirkland. one of the well known and highly respected lyoung business men of Phoenix, and who. has been connected with the large hard ware establishment of Talbot x Hub bard. arrived in Prescott last evening. weary, foot sore and covered with dust. He has been visiting at Iron Springs, and concluded that he wanted to make a visit to Prescott. and there being no train due for several hours. he concluded to foot it to town and ac- cordlngly set out. Up one hill and down another he toiled on until he began to thlnk he had gotten on the wrong trail and would soon reach Phoenix. How ever. he whistled and toiled on and after walking in the neighborhood of dozen miles through the grinding dust and under the blazing sun. he arrived at Prescott. After a nasty visit to a barber shop he sallied forth on the streets and soon found several friends and forgot all about his heroic efforts to reach town while the cool, refreshing mountain breezes played tag among his flowing locks aid cooled his heated brow.
