The Teachers, Institute.

The Teachers Institute opened on Monday
and closed Thursday afternoon. The program
as published in the ADVOCATE last week was
carried out. The Institute was simply school
for teachers. The lectures and talks were
intended to give new ideas on the manner of
teaching, to spur the teachers to higher aims,
better methods and to impress them with the
importance of their work. Comptroller Her
ing, who made the welcome address on Mon
day, very clearly stated the position of the
teacher. He said
II wish especially to impress upon you this
morning the fact that your vocation as teach
ers is not mere business, as we usually
understand that term. 1t is vastly more than
that. You are not simply dealing in dollars
and cents, but in brain and in mind and in
soul. The possibilities of your work carry
you far above the rounds of ordinary business
and place you in realm above which there is
nothing but the sacred work of the Christian
ministry. Indeed, you are laying the foun-
dation stones upon which character is to be
built, and the future of the boys and girls who
are under your care will depend largely upon
the basal ideas that they get from you as their
teachers. So that am not, think, in any
sense transcending the bounds of propriety
when l say that yours Isl in fact, sacred
work.
Il want you to get away from the quid pro
quo idea-the idea of simply one thing. for
another, or that you are giving to Carroll
county so much brain for so many dollars.
/ tell you, in all candor, if we are to take that
view of it Carroll county has not got dollars
enough to put up against the brain that is to-
day engaged in teaching the children who are
within her borders. No; it is not at all a
transaction of that kind You are engaged in
a work that has infinitely higher aims. The
greatest thing in this world is to do good, to
build character, to add to the moral and intel
lectual wealth of the world, and | know of no
class of persons in better position to do it than
the teachers in our public Schools

Teddy's All Right.

From The Louisville Confessional.
Teddy is hustler. He sticks his panties in

and goes to work like common, spoils poll

offensive partisan?' Where. oh, where, the
Song of Civil Service Reform? To-day he is at
Newport, smuggling with the Four Hundred.
Tomorrow he'll be out in Colorado, whoop-

formation concerning the scope of the in

No Rivalry Involved.
1t involves no rivalry with existing in

Its privileges will be extended to any

NEGRO BABES RESCUED.
Saved by a Policeman From Burn
ing House.

Policeman H. C. Stroman. of the Tenth
precinct, yesterday rescued two small col
ored children from a burning house at
PA G. Street northwest where they had
been locked in second story room by
their mother. Mary Gross.
The officer was passing the building in
the cars, when he saw smoke issuing from
the building, frame structure, and was
informed by the neghbors that there were
children in the upper room.
The house was filled with smoke and 1t
was with the greatest difficulty that the
officer succeeded in reaching the upper
room, where he found the door locked.
Breaking it In he found the youngest
child, about eighteen months old lyiDs
beneath the crib while the other one. a
year older, had his head buried in pill
low to keep out the smoke.
The fire was small one. doing only s.
damage. 1t was started by Robert, the
four year -olds son OF Martha Bryant. who
rents the house from Thomas Waggaman
who pulled over lamp. while his mother
had temporarily left the building TO bus
some coal.
An alarm was sounded from box II. but
there was little for the tremen TO dc
when they arrived the blaze being easily
subdued with the eXtinguishers.

that they had no redress for their griev-
arces.
This is denied by naval officers who state
that the regulations provide means for
the men to receive justice at the hands of
their superiors, and that the commander
of a ship is required TO forward to re
viewing authority to the Secretary of the
Navy, or to the President himself, any
written complaint that is couched in prop
er language
Previous to the sailing of the Dolphin,
Lieutenant Commander Cleaves was seen,
and expressed great surprise that such a
story should have been circulated. He
had asked fer the apprehension OF three
deserters, he said. but had given his men
the greatest liberty. in view of the fact
that in the surveys in which they would
be engaged for several months to come
there would be plenty Of hard work for all
of them.
Failed to show Up.
II was probably due to this very fact that
two of his men failed TO show up at the
expiration of their shore leaves. The third
one lad been court -martialed for intoxi-
cation and for resisting arrest. and had
always been a troublesome man.
Some OF the rlen aboard the Dolphin
stated that they know nothing Of aEy cause
for omoldint. but those who originated
the story aIlege that while aboard the
ship, and where their remarks could be
heard by others, the men would not talk
freely for fear of punishment that might be
meted out to them during the voyage.

CARNEGIE INSTITUTION TO Be
MORE THAN A UNIVERSITY

objects exemplifed by board cf more
than twoscore trustees selected from
among the wisest men in the country
'As DIR. Gilman said, the idea Is so
broad that it takes some time to grasp
it, but while listening to his explanation
OF Mr.. Carnegie's objects and desires the
suggestion naturally arose in his mind
that through the Carnegie Institution
the John Hopkins University might OBJ
tain much needed temporary assistance.
DIR. Gilman made no direct reference to
this, but in outlining the manner IN which
this aid was to reach the student he men
toned scholarship, fellowship, and ap-
preparations
He also distinctly conveyed the idea
that If mechanic, student, an inven-
tor. or an institution were found to be
developing a special line of work with
particular equipment, facilities or adapt
ability tending toward success and the
welfare or Improvement of mankind, such
individual or institution would be consid-
cred a proper object for assistance.
To DO Nothing Yet.
said, until January %, when the trustees
will meet for organization and to begin
their deliberations. These trustees, he
said, were all men of Mr.. Carnegie's own
selection, conspicuous for the public sta
tions they have filled or the work they
have done One omission is obvious, and
that is that not one of the trustees is
president of any existing college or uni-
versity.
The board is not syndicate of college
presidents, who might agree to divide the
income from the endowment among their
respective institutions.
No Expensive Laboratories.
at is no part of Mr.. Carnegie's plan, "
continued DR.. Gilman, Ito build expensive
permanent laboratories. When necessary,
laboratories may be constructed for specific
purposes, but they will be of a temporary
character. There will be no imposing
group of buildings, and such administra-
tion buildings as may be necessary will
be very modest. There will be no terms
of admission, or graduation or courses
of study"
