work OF our schools as a whole / am
optimist. I believe they are doing
better work today than aver before,
but they can still be improved. The
bill just passed in our legislature
making certificates good in any coun-
ty In the state is a distinct step in adj
n and will add to the worth and
dignity Of the teaching profession in
Iowa.
The Present Condition..
Conditions are better than they
We're ten years ago. School boards and
III public are coming to see the value
In retaining teachers and supervising
officers so long as they show aptitude
for the work.
Our courses of study have been en-
riched, school buildings have been en-
larged and improved but the vital fact
remains that the results which shall
be secured from the schools of Iowa
depend on the individual teacher. In
return for these material advantages,
for increased salaries and larger and
more commodious school buildings, are
we as teachers giving more to the
children whom we instruct? Teach
ers need to be missionaries in the
highest sense of the word. They need
to have a high sense of honor; they
need to have a kindly heart and a firm
will: they need to have thoughts
which are for the uplifting Of those
they teach"

said that other occupations were open
to young men and women which paid

He expressed the hope that the new

He told Of the great influence Of the
labor unions in that country and Of
the civil service system inaugurated
before the birth Of Christ.
Regarding the system Of govern
ment, Mr.. SHOEMAKER said that the
present system was intended by Con-
fucius for an absolute democracy,
and was the only government that en-
dured for $500 years. The people, he
said, had never rebelled against the
government but did rebel against
what they considered the unfair meth
DDS OF the men at the head ofsthe gov
ernment. He spoke briefly Of the
great rebellion from 1908 to 1858 after
China had endured several bad rulers
and said that 1t vas this rebellion that
stopped the progress of China while
other nations advanced.
In speaking of the literature of Chi
ma he said that in that country a per-
feet literary composition was
considered the highest human
achievement. He said that in
the Chinese language were
found some Of the most beautifully
written and perfect compositions in
the world. The Chinese, he said, en-
phasized the Importance of morality
and that in none of the classics of the
Chinese could be found a composition
that a. mother would not be glad to
have her daughter read, while in 9th
err nations there were many that you
would not let a man read. In closing
Mr.. Schoonmaker said that he be-
Heved that the time was imminent in
America when a man would be
ashamed to accumulate more money
than he needed, except for public pur-
poses. He said that Chinese scholars
claimed that America was now pass
Ing through stages of civilization that
China passed through a long time ago,
and. while twas true that the manner
sof living OF the people Of this country
could not be compared with a majority
of those in China, yet the people Of
THAT country before the great rebel
Hon, were the most happy and CON

as a man who not only robbed his
trusting followers Of the product of
their arduous toll, but who had shat

He was scorned for having violated
the most holy trust that could be

man who had posed as Elijah the Re-

who finally had taken upon himself

Dowie may now, in his apparent ex-

At adjournment Secretary Perry. for
the miners, was asked If he thought an
agreement would be reached. He said
that he had no reason in addition to
those entertained by him before the
scale committee met for thinking so.
Commissioner Reese, when asked IL
he thought a scale would be agreed
upon, replied by saying that he did
not know. that he had no reason for
an opinion, and that the developments
of the day would not warrant an ex
preston way or the other.
The Joint conference held a short
session yesterday. In the session the
miners tried to force a vote ON a pro.
posai to restore the 1908 scale. but
this was lost on the adoption Of a
substitute to refer to the scale com,
mittee.
The rules provide that a majority
vote of the two branches shall gov.
ern the proceedings of the Joint CON
ference in the future, but that a ma
jority Of both miners and operators
must support a question. before It
shall be declared carried. This is a
departure, but was explained when 1t
developed that the operators had al.
ready voted full discretionary power TO
its scale committee to make a scale.

ey, presided. What Are Effective Els.
sentials in Grammar Grades?" was the
title of a short address by Mr.. Schall.
He advocated hand work, home read
ing by pupils and reading of standard
classics to pupils by teachers. Miss
Emily Putnam of Mt. Pleasant spoke
very interestingly on "The Problem Of
the 'Left-Overs'" She cited some
practical ways of handling pupils who
fail in n or more studies in one year
and are left over until the succeeding
year. The speaker advanced the the
DRY that a little personal discretion in
assigning studies to left overs helped
very much. Miss Caroline Eckers Of
Ottumwa told of "Hand Work for In.
termediate Grades" setting forth var
ious manners in which to keep the pu-
pills busy with ,neir hands. Modelling
clay, manufacturing baskets and other
miniature articles, pastel work, ETC., all
leading up to manual training in the
high school, were agitated by Miss
.Eckers. Miss Bessie Buchanan of
Fairfield advocated reading at home
by pupils and reading of standard
classics to pupils in schools in her
talk on "The Teacher Directing Grade
Children's Home Reading" Superin-
tendent John W. Mccullough of Wa
pello gave a brief talk on these essen
tials, which was very interesting.

The primary and Kindergarten round
table was held yesterday afternoon in
the Froebel school, corner of College
and Second streets. The feature of
the afternoon was the model classes
in music reading and sense training.

classes was given. These exercises
were conducted by the principal of the
school, Miss Julia Mahoney. assisted
by her assistant, Miss Ethel Elliott.
Miss Mary Young Of Washington
presided over the meeting. The model
classes mentioned were the first and
easily the most interesting feature Of
the session. The classes were follew-
ed by a number of papers on subjects
bearing on primary and kindergarten
work.
The first paper was on "Phonetics
in Reading" and was read by Miss
Olive Mercer of Burlington. Follow
ing this a paper on the Purpose Of
the Kindergarten" written by Miss
Margaret Bliss of Mt. Pleasant, was
read. Miss Bliss was unable to be
present at the meeting.
"The Benefit Of Games in Kindergar-
ten and Primary Instruction" was the
subject OF the third paper. This paper
was read by Miss Burnie Woodruff Of
Knoxville. The subject of the last pa
per of the afternoon was First Steps
in Numbers, the How and When" by
Miss Sara L. Hart of Iowa City. Ali
of these papers were of great interest
to those interested in this depart
ment of educational work and were
listened to with attention by the large
number of teachers who were present.

part he said: 7
Shakespeare wrote Hamlet at his

not only the worlds greatest poet, but
also the worlds greatest son. If the

And the worlds greatest genius at his

What does Hamlet mean? I will ask
you. two questions.
What does Shakespeare mean?
We can never get at Shakespeare. He
Is like a man trying to get a fist full
OF sky. He is too big. He ought to
be small; most men are small. But
you can't get a hold of the universe
n weigh it In the balance, and
Shakespeare is sc outrageously big,
that we can't understand him and so
we guess at him. Some theologists
say he Is sc big he couldn't have writ
ten what we thought he wrote. Well,
that's too bad, because he thought he
wrot 1t too. and If he didn't write
what he thought he wrote, somebody
ought to have told him of 1t before
he died. And so we try to see what
and where he is. Some say that Ba.

in of moments Bacon wrote Shakes

ever produced in English. They do
this because he Is much of a miracle
they can't get at him.
What does the Sphinx mean?
There it stands with Its unclosing

sands OF time. Nobody knows what
the sphinx means. So Hamlet is the

ing of Education" he said in part:
Religion and Education are the two
great forces in making civilization.
Where religion and education are not
disassociated, they are the two great
est things. The height to which a per-
son comes is due to these two forces.
Where religion and education are
equal opportunity and freedom is most
satisfying. Religion is interested in
everything which makes for life. Many
people look upon 1t as o lighter thing.
They don't give it prominence enough.
Yet people are coming to see that re-
ligion has everything TO do with every
thing in life. Education has in its ulti-
mate results the same universal degree
as that of4religion.
