Roosevelt Warned.

WASHINGTON. ID. C.. March 22.-
Warning has been given President
Roosevelt by number of prominent
Republican senators that If he at.
tempts to discipline General Miles
because of the latter's testimony be-
fore the senate military committee
against Secretary Root. the bill for
the reorganization of the army is apt
to experience much trouble. The i'm
preston is growing hourly that the
incident will be allowed to pass unno-
ticed. Senator Aldrich this morning
said he believed the president would
do nothing. "If he does" said the
senator. "he will find that General
Miles has many friends both in and
out of congress"
Senator Hawley, chairman of the
military committee, is much opposed
to Secretary Roots bill, although he
introduced 1t by request. He says all
military men owe debt of gratitude
to the commanding general for the *
haustive exposition of the workings
of the general staff systems of Euro
pean countries, which was an unan
swerable argument against the intro
duction of the systems into the
American army.

as well as lead pencils. are furnished
by the district. These are kept in a

noise. School is in session and the
pupils are very busy. too busy to pay
any attention to visitors They seem
to be perfectly free. and apparently
under no restraint, but they also have
keen sense of the fitness of things.
1t has been the writer's fate to VISIT
school rooms where pupils were in
duced to work at a feyerish rate of
speed. and where the general atmos-
phere was hurry. In still other rooms
the children loitered through their
wonder if they would get through life
before they died, at that rate.
The teacher is happy who man
ages to strike the mean between ner-
vous haste and dilatoriness. 1t is an
art. Moreover, the person who works
after that manner is one who accom-
plishes things. Nor is this restricted
to the teaching profession.
1t is not necessary to enumerate the
special subjects in which Mrs Evans
pupils did well, since with such a sys-
tenn of self government all their work
was well and favorably done In such
an atmosphere the day was pleasant

of visitor puts children on their

Young teachers often think too
much stress is laid upon good dlsci-
pline. If the pupils work, surely that
is sufficient they think. A common
sense view of this one point will make
plain the fact that order and system
applied in the school room will ac.
complish twice as much in given
time More than that, the training
the pupils thus receive will prove in.
valuable to them in later years.
