This information can very easily be
shown on the reverse side of the state
department tag, and the use Of a rub.

fully comply with the requirements.
It is most important that the gen

these requirements, as all shipments
found in violation Of the law, which
becomes operative and in full force
on September /, 1906, will be seized
wherever found.
The law does not refer to interstate
shipments made to Louisiana ports

The state has an established system
controlling the inspection of CONNER,

stringent supervision over shipments
of mixed feed for the past two years
The service has been in operation
for some years past and is thoroughly
organized and equipped, its chief work

District Attorney Langdon, who as

that due consideration will be given to

the question OF salaries. to the matter
of tenure of Office and to plan Of re-
tirement from service on pension, all
OF which influence directly the present
ment of the three RS once held to be
the teachers only concern.
'"ro be sure says Mr.. Langdon, con
ditions differ so that no two delegations
will consider these matters in Just the
same way. but the common interest is
very strong and so much has been won
by concerted effort we do not need to,
urge the value of harmony.
':Our own teachers are firmly protected
against political disturbance by tenure of
office. which the courts have held is guar
anteed them by the charter, but they
are not the less concerned in the desire
of their professional brothers and sis
ters for like protection.
1T is admitted the country over that
the salaries paid to grade teachers are
too small. and as an offset to this de-
ficieney the establishment of pension
fund would seem mere Justice.

been investigating this matter and it's

against hardship in their old age, and II
seems to me even more important that
the teachers should be protected.
Zone of the first results of such q pro-
vision will be the return of men to- the
profession, and I am just old-fashioned
enough to believe that the schools would
be benefited thereby, particularly the
boys schools.
CAS- it is now men are giving less ana
less attention to the work The salaries
paid are not large enough to enable the
teacher to save anything, and reasonable
thought for his family compels him 70
follow lines in which he can be assured
of better future.
Our own normal school has not man
in attendance and the one at San Jose,
with its enrolment of 500. has but eight
or nine men. 1t used to be the complaint
that men made of school teaching step
ping-stone to the law. or medicine, or
business. but now they don't even enter
the work.
sGiven salary list based on present
day costs, protection from arbitrary
changes due political shifts, and a just
provision for retirement. we may expect
advances that will be impossible under
less favorable conditions.
1.-The subject of school administration
Is important. too-perhaps nothing the
association will consider is more impor-
tant.
Where the duties and responsibilities
of the superintendent are not distin-
guished from those Of the Board of Edu-
cation there is possible an overlapping OF

retary or any otner member they may
select their views on the subject as
signed for discussion" and the records
Of early meetings show that this prfvi-
lege was frequently taken advantage of.
Though the organization was accom-
plished with enthusiasm and adjournment
TO meet the following year in Cincinnati
disbanded thirty-eight men who felt they
had undertaken a great work, August,
1858, found only five of the original mem
bers faithful to the cause, and but for
the acclaim with which the West hailed
an opportunity for membership the as
sociation must have yielded up the ghost.
But teachers throughout the Ohio Val
ley believed in the new movement and
attended its first regular meeting in such
numbers as to concealsthe absence of the
founders.
The national treasurer not appearing
among those present the president di-
rected that the Subscriptions of seventy
five new members. 81 each, be received
by the secretary, and so skillfully were
affairs handled that not till many years
later did the public learn how slender
had been the associations prospect Of
permanence.
During It's first twenty years the strug-
Cling organization experienced a success
sion of financial troubles. The glow Of
pride its members felt upon elevation to
Office was modified by the consciousness
that they would be called upon to make
up the deficit that-large or small-never
failed to characterize the summary of a
years business.
Nothing could more effectively have de-
creased the officers enthusiasm as well
as their faith in the perpetuity of the
organization, and when il was learned
that the Hon. Thomas A. Biclxnell Of
Massachusetts had succeeded in bringing
the languishing Institute of instruction
cut of the financial mire in which it had
been weakly floundering, IT was deter
mined to ask him to try like course
with the national association.
Mr.. Bicknell became president and at
cnce set about increasing the member
ship. The annual meetings were made
moro attractive and the cost Of attending
them was decreased, with the result that
the organizations funds were so aug
mented there was never again any rear
of financial embarrassment

authority that may easily lead to fric-
tion. Even IL harmony is maintained un-
der these conditions the waste of effort
due TO uncertainty is enough to plead for
correction.
Now a ruling by the most distin-
guished educators in the country that TO
the superintendent belongs the admins
tration of affairs touching school man
agement, the Beard Of Education being
concerned with the schools finances.
would be important and effective even
though the association is without author
ity or inclination to make its sugges-
tfons binding
THE whole scheme OF the association
may be characterized as a campaign OF
education carried on by the teachers
among themselves.
California's director of the n. T. A..
Arthur H. Chamberlain. dean of Throop
Poly technic Institute. feels that san
Francisco may congratulate herself upon
securing this convention of the largest
educational association in the world.
1.-The growing tendency of the secret
society 10 find its way among the boys
and girls of the high school is alike dis
turbing TO teachers and parents. The
control Of this matter presents a broad
issue and one which the National Educa-
tionaI Association viii very earnestly
consider.
Competitive or professional athletics
IN colleges and secondary schools presents
another prOblem-particularly the more
circums mscribed football interest in which
every thoughtful person Is concerned, and
The San Francisco call., 1906-04-08

the associations action regarding 1t will
affect the entire country.
"A bill to recharter them E A under
act of Congress is expected to pass both
houses, since there is no possible oppO-
sition to it, and as it will operate TO place
the association more strongly on its feet
than ever, the future policy will come up
for outline at this meeting.
Altogether 1t will prove the most i'm
portant gathering in the history of the
association, for the teachers and the pub
lie too
convention will not consider any matter
OF more Importance than the proposed re-
form OF our spelling.
'It has been discussed for more years
than 1 can say. this simplifying OF some
of our words" comments the Superinten-
dent of Schools, ''and l am Of the opinion
that some definite recommendation may
be made at the coming meeting
'At Louisville this spring the Depart
ment of superintendent considered a
list OF twelve words submitted by DR..
Andrews of Nebraska University. and
finally concluded TO ask the N E. A. to
urge their adoption These words are:
'Bisness' for business, 'enuf' for enough.
.fether' for feather. 'mesure' for measure.
'plesure' for pleasure, red for read. ruff
for rough. 'trauf' for trough. thru for
l0TOQSus tUl LOE lOQ5Als luuS LOI JOu8uCs
'yung' for young.
"a radical change Of this kind must not
be undertaken in a hurry II the asso-
citation finds il advisable to recommend
the reform, and the newspapers and
schools adopt the new words, they will
become a part OF our language sooner
than one might think possible. For this
very reason we don't want to make a
mistake.
There Is probably not phase OF school
life nor of the teachers life and relation
to the world as citizen but viii be con-
sidered in the week the national organiza-
ton Is in session."
And this is the opinion OF President
Schaeffer. who says in a letter from Har-
risburg. Pa:
1--WE shall hear from all sections OF the
United States, and shall discuss problems
which have to do with the teacher In his
various functions and relations to our
modern civilized life"
