Tomorrow the most important BUSH

the reading and consideration of re-
ports of officers, the election of officers
and delegates to the biennial session

GERS to be chosen are president, Sec

ucation is needed as a trade, and l
think that we are now chiefly suffering
from this mistaken estimate of the
teaching profession. Anyone can teach,
We secretly believe, and we lower the
standard of education in the state more
by that superstition than by any other
thing. I plead for the belief that edu-
cation is a science, not to be under
taken thoughtlessly, but demanding
special training and skilled superv-
ision. These are the two weakest spots
in our system.
the passing of set examinations, but
the possession of special and thorough
training, and when we nave come to
see the scientific necessity for the reg
ular supervision of teachers by edu-
cational experts, then the standard of
education in our state will have great
ly risen. This you can bring about, if
you will, better than any one else.
Meanwhile, take education serious
ly. Beware of fads. Insist upon the
best rather than the latest. Discour-
age public interference with schools.
Elect educated school directors, who
will appoint educated and trained SUI
perintendents, who will appoint edu-
Gated and trained teachers on the sole
basis of efficiency. Remember that the
secret of educational success lies, not
in this or that method of teaching, or
this or that subject in the curriculum,
but rather in the effective personality
of the teacher. Demand the best
teachers for your brothers and your
sons, and do not be satisfied with less
than the best. When education is re-
garded as a science, public honor and
you will most successfully have raised
the standard of education in our state"

MONDAY EVENING, DEC. IS. 1905.

DURING the debate in the Senate
last week on the Panama canal bill,
Mr. Morgan, of Alabama, predicted
that at the extravagant rate in which the
canal work had been begun the cost oiits
completion would exceed $500, 600, 600.
He charged that the first three years
were equal il reckless extravaganza and
exorbitant salaries to the first three
wears of the De Lesseps project, and
every word he said was absolutely true.
This canal almost bankrupte ! France
and il bids fair 10 seriously disturb the
finances of the United States. In his
testimony before the Senate committee
LAST week Secretary Taft admitted that
although 1900 men were now en-
pl)ytd by the canal, not shovel full OF
earth had been moved since last July.
The next day two employees Of the canal
who returned to New York said they
did not understand such statements a.
those made by Secretary TAFT for, they
said, five thousand feet of earth had
been removed ever month since last
July! Setting Secretary TafPs testl-
mony aside for argument sake, and CIV
ing full credence to the statements Of
the two returned employees, it If shown
that it takes al an average OF 3, 4OO men
a month to move 900 feel of earth, or a
little upwards OF 80 tons a day. As
millions upon millions of tons are to be
moved. it will be seen that at this rate
the canal could It be built in hundreds
of years. No wonder the canal people
wanted an emergency appropriation OF
SO, 600, 600 to run them from the time
Congress met till it reassembled after
tie holidays.

The Naval Academy.

Representative Pearre, of Maryland,
introduced a joint resolution in the House
Saturday asking for the appointment OF
select committee of five to investigate
hazing and prize fighting at the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, especially to as
certain whether the officials of the insti-
tuition are responsible for any laxity OF
discipline calculated to encourage these
practices. The resolution also calls
upon the Secretary of the Navy to re-
port all the facts in his possession con-
corning the fight between Meriwether
and Branch, as well as those concerning
the recent hazing Of Cadet Kimbrough.
Mr.. Pearre declares that brutality in
various forms as practiced at Annapolis
is winked at and connived at by academy
officials, anu that the failure to main
tain discipline lay more at the door Of
the institution than upon the tsidship-
men attending there.

liz THE House Saturday resolution
was introduced by Mr.. Pearre, OF Mary
land, blaming the officers for hazing and
similar evils at the naval academy at
Annapolis, and providing for an inveSti-
CATION. Mr.. Pearre has at last struck
the key note. The officers at the acade-
nv are the men to be hauled over the
Goals. If they don't know that hazing
ia carried on there, they are fools, and il
d., and don't stop it, they are knaves -
and neither fools nor knaves are fit TO be
at the head of naval, or any other kind
of academies.
