Ardmore Only Territory
Stopping Place.

Kan, last evening and signed
by Mr.. Hearst's secretary, has
the following:
Mr.. Hearst and Congression-
al party desire to see as many
citizens OF Indian Territory and
as much of country as possible
but time is limited so that it is
impossible to make stops except
at Ardmore and they tell me to
ask that representative delega-
tions go to Ardmore from other
points of the territory so that
a comprehensive statement of
the needs and desires of the ter
ritory may be made to visiting
senators and congressman.
There will be no stops at Nor
man, Purcell, Noble, Wynne-
wood, Daugherty and Pauls
Valley as originally planned,
but stop at Ardmore will be ex-
tended to two hours and a quar-
ter. The train is due at Ard
more at noon Tuesday, Oct. 90.

is much more moderate. In answer to
series Of questions, the majority of teach
erS IN each instance declared themselves
opposed to the present teaching OF alco-
hol physiology as promoted by the de-
partment Of scientific temperance in
Struction; to the making of such 1nStTuc-
ton compulsory by state law; to the ZAP

and finally to the results of such inStruc-

though in regard to results, opinion in
Wisconsin appeared to be evenly divided.
1t is apparent, says the report in con-
clusion that there has been grated
upon the public school system Of nearly
all our states an educational scheme re-
lating to alcohol that is neither scientific
nor temperate, nor instructive. Failing
to observe the distinction between the
Numerically opposite conceptions of
use and abuse some of its advocates
have not hestitated to teach our children
that the terrible results of a prolonged
use of alcohol may be expected to follow
any departure from total abstinence. The
success attained by the Woman's Chris
tan Temperance union to secure the de-
sired legislation may be readily explained
by the sympathy sure to be felt by all In
teligent people for any sincere attempt
to combat one of the most gigantic evils
Of modern times. That the origi-
majors of this educational scheme were
honest in their intentions there is no rea-
son to doubt but they have violated
sound principles Of pedagogy in forcing
subjects upon the attention Of children
at an age when their minds cannot posi-
bly, be adapted to comprehend them and
have shown themselves absolutely indif-
ferent to the Generalization Of our edu-
cationa1 system resulting from forcing
teachers to give instruction in a way
which their experience has shown them to
be Ill adapted to accomplish the ends IN
view and from compelling children to
memoriZe statements sure to be contra
dicted by the experience Of their later
lives"

false pedagogy. With single eXcep-

ciety who replied to this circular were

continental scientists who answered
the letter, seven are known to the sci
entlfic world for their interest in the
cause of reform in the use of alcohol;
yet of this number only one was will
ing to approve the use of the approved
American public school text books.
These answers are not supposed to rep
resent the opinion of the continental
psychologists in general; so far as they
go, however, they are quoted as the
opinions of men who are interested
both in the physiology of alcohol as
science and also in the general diminu-
ton OF its consumption as an important
problem in modern civilization.
The investigation of the actual work.
ing OF the present system of instruction,
as viewed Oy the teachers themselves,
covers several separate inquiries. The
first OF these was made, independently
OF the present report, by an actual
examination of the schools in Massa-
chusetts in which this instruction had
been given. The results, which first ap-
peared in a report made to the Massacnu-
sets state board of education, are urged
in the report as leading to several con-
clusions all pointing to the inadequacy

the term scientific temperance instruc-
ton" is a misnomer-the two essential
elements of scientific study, observation
and inference. being necessarily lacking;
that the results IN accurate knowledge are
meager and out Of proportion to the time
devoted to the subject; that many false
impressions are left in the minds of the
students; that physiological details are
not suited to young children; that the
sentiment of the school is sound, in that
the conviction that alcohol and tobacco
are bad things to use is universal but
that the strength of this sentiment does
not depend on the amount of informa-
ton acquired; that where exaggerated
