STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.
DR.. George B. CrOmer, President, Delivers
Annual AddreSs-Meeting at White
Stone.

The first meeting of the State
Teachers Association, which con.
vened in annual session at White
Stone Lithia Springs last week, was
held on Wednesday night, when the
annual address was delivered by DR..
George B. Cromer, president of the
Association. The following in re-
gard to the address is from the COR
respondent Of the State:
DIR. CRoMER's ADDRESS
The address was timely, forcible
and eloqnent--just such speech as
would be expected from this brilliant
young orator and educator. He
took the statistics given showing 18
per cent. of population over 10
years of age unable to read aud
write. He claimed that our duty ~
teachers is not 80 much with the 18
per cent. of illiteracy, but with the
81 per cent. of literacy-the people
who realize that something ought to
be done and are best prepared to do
something. The speaker next dis
cussed the teacher as a citizen,
showing it to be his duty, not only
to teach but to be a citizen--to take
part in the affairs of his community,
to lead in every effort to upbaild the
industries, to purify the politics, and
to improve the social conditions of
the country. The teacher must con
tribute his share toward the social
conditions Of the country. The
teacher must contribute his share
toward the social salvation of his
State. Examinations and other mere
mechanical tests fail to reach the
pupil. The teacher must be clean,
pure and upright, and 80 come in
contact with his pupils that he i'm
presses his own personality upon
that of the student.
President Cromer's address was
earnest, eloquent and inspiring. He
is an ornament to the calling and
power in the profession of teaching
in this State.
COLLEGE MEN INTEREST.
One noticeable feature of this
meeting is the very large attendance
of college men. In the past they
have stood aloof somewhat, and this
ettitude seemed to make breach be-
tween the common school and the
college which injured both and
worked to the detriment of the com
mon school students. There seems
now to be the beginning of the IN.
flying and co-ordinating of the edu
cationsl forces of the State, which

The Indianapolis Tin Can Company has

at par and have held it over IL per cent. in
nine months. The company occupied the
three-story building at West Eighteenth
street and the Belt road, and had a ca
pacity of 100000 cans. 1t was managed
by Mr.. Reese, formerly superintendent of
the Dugdale Can Company, which was
bought by the American Company, known
as the tin can trust, over a year ago. The
plant actually cost $4,000, having complete
equipment in the most improved machinery.
1t is estimated that the consumption of
cans by the three large packers of this
city-Van Camp, Polk and Johnson-was
100000, which was the capacity of the
indianapolis plant. Johnson is the largest
packer of tomatoes in the world, and until
lately was the largest packer of peas, but
a New York packer recently demonstrated
that his volume exceeded that of johnson.

BRUTALITY TO A CHILD.


Thomas B. Ray, living in two rooms at
415 East Washington street, was arrested
yesterday by Special Officer Joyce and
Patrolman Irish on the charge of cruelty TO
a child 1t is alleged that Ray brutally
treated his stepson, Lee Hattabaugh. five
years old. by tying him TO the floor and
then beating him. For several days the
neighbors in the block where the Ray fam
lily lived heard terrorizing screams coming
from the rooms. An investigation was
made and 1t was found that the father had
oftentimes tied him to the floor and
cruelty whipped him.
When the police entered the room yes
terday the little boy ran from them and
crouched on plank shelf that was used
for bed and asked not to be molested.
His actions indicated that he was de-
mented. When Mr.. Joyce assured the tot
that no harm would be done him the little
boy told story of revolving practices and
inhufnan treatment at the hands of his
stepfather. Ray was arrested. but was
charges made against him by the neigh
bors and the boy. Mr.. Joyce said the
child will be taken by the Board of Chill
dren's Guardians. His home surroundings,
he said, were not what they should be as
filth and poverty were in evidence. Ray
is a carpenter by trade, but, some of
the neighbors said his love for strong
drink will not allow him TO work more
than one or two days week-just to make
enough money to keep him supplied with
liquor.

INDIANA IS BEST OF ALL
CAPTAIN ENGLISH AND WIFE GLAD
TO GET BACK HOME.
Enjoyed Foreign Experiences, but No
Place Compares with This State
"A Rough Voyage Home.

'William E. English and wife. home
again." was a signature on the top line
of the register at the English Hotel last
evening that told of the return of Captain
and Mrs. English from eight months
tour of Europe. The captain and his wife
have been on American soil for several
days, but they made short stop in New
York before proceeding to Indianapolis
During their absence Captain and Mrs.
English visited England, Ireland. Scotland,
Wales, France, Belgium, Prussia, Bavaria
Baden, Switzerland, Austria, Tyrol,. Italy.
In speaking of their trip home the captain
said last night: 1.-The voyage home from
Havre, France, on La Savoie, the crack
steamer of the French line, was partic-
ularly severe one and for several days the
matches were fastened down and the pas
sengers were kept below while the storm
ragged outside and the huge waves sWept
On the third day out four of the lifeboats
were stove in, the front railing torn away
and the captain and sailor named Du-
rand swept from the bridge by terriflc
wave. The captain was only slightly In
jured, but the sailors left leg was broken
and he was washed about helplessly in the
forecastle for two hours before he was
rescued by human line of sailors grasp
ing hands and fastened together by rope.
Four other sailors and one steerage pas
senger also had broken bones during the
voyage.
Several of the nervous lady passengers
were in Mysteries during the worst part of
the storm and a Mrs. Wilmerding, of New
York, was so overcome with joy at reaching
terra firma that she tainted on the dock
upon the arrival at New York. Mrs. Eng
lish, however, stood the rough voyage re-
markedly well under the circumstances,
and beyond the natural fatigue incident to
the trip reached home last night in most
excellent health"
Captain English's bad health was pri-
marily the cause of the extended tour, and
he found that the climate of Italy disagreed
with him to a marked degree, and he was
quite i'll while there, but lengthy stay
later in the Riviera of south France proved
most beneficial and during the last two
months he has steadily and rapidly i'm
proved. Both Captain and Mrs. English
expressed their delight at being on Hoosier
soil once more and declared that while
their foreign experiences were very en-
joyable there was after all no country tC
compare with America and no place in
all the world like our own Indiana"
