AN IMPORTANT REPORT.
Some recommendations of Last
Years Convention Carried Out.

The following report of the legs-
lation committee of the State Teach
ers' association was adopted during
the last session of that body yester-
day morning.
Acting under the liberal instruc-
ton given us at Your session held
at Spokane last year, we arranged
to act as far as possible in coniunc-
ton with the state superintendent
office, and to give such help as we
might be able in furthering any
legislation that should be presented
throuhg that source. Measures and
changes known to be desired by the
association were included in bill
presented by the state superintend-
ent, while such measures as were
suggested by the individual mbers
or by local committees were pre-
sented in separate bills. The fol-
lowing changes and additions advo-
Gated by your committee were APP
proved and enacted into law:
Section 23 was so changed as to
provide for the appointment OF an
assistant superintendent, while re-
tanning the deputy. The mini
mum age limit for applicants for
certificates was changed from II to
Is years, as asked in your resolu-
ton. All school districts are now
required to levy a tax of mills In
order to receive any apportionment
of public funds, unless a six
months school is maintained.
The compulsory attendance law was
so changed as to compel attendance
the full time that school was main
tanned in the district, and its pro-
visions were made to cover all dis
tricts, country, village and city.
Cities were given permission to
provide schools for defective chill
dren. The Juvenile court was also
provided for, and is now working
WITH highly satisfactory "nsu,ts.
Some changes in normal school
provisions were made, but as they

WAOSWORTH TO
TO Be SPEAKER
BEATS MERRITT IN OPEN BALLOT
He Had the Support of Gov. Higgins
and of President Roosevelt in
Recent Campaign.

ALBANY, n. Y, Jan. flames
J. Wadsworth, Jr., son of Con-
gresham Wadsworth and son-in-law
of the late John Hay, was nominated
by the republicans tonight for
speaker of the assembly and will be
elected to that office tomorrow. His
democratic opponent will be George
NJ. Palmer, who for years has been
them minority leaders on the assem-
bly, floor.
Wadsworth received rs out of los
votes in caucus, Edwin A. Merritt
IA, and J. NJ. Wainwright Is. The
vote was taken by open roll call, and
no attempt was made to secure a
secret ballot, as was expected. The
result brings to close one of the
most remarkable speakership cam
paigns of recent years, characterized
by marked factional bitterness and
some unusual features. Wadsworth
was not among the candidates
originally in the field but was pro-
posed by Governor Higgins and re-
garded as having the support Of
Roosevelt. Merritt had the backing
of Ex-Governor Odell. Wainwright
stood openly in opposition to what
was charged to be the improper in
fluence of the executive in purely
legislative matter.

we're not brought before your body
for discussion, no announcement
need be made of them in this report.
In accord with instructions for you,
no changes in the school book law
was advocated, but it required ener-
getic action on the part of your COM
mittee and other members of the as
ISOLATION to forestall the attempts to
re-establish a uniform textbook law.
We desire again to emphasize the,
force and value of any united re-
quest for legislation coming from
the association. Thanking you for

fully, yours,

TO WEAK WOMEN
OF North Yakima and Vicinity, We
Make the Following Proposition.

There are hundreds of women in
this vicinity who are dragging them
selves through life in pain and mis-
cry, without vitality, strength or
health" said Mr.. Janeck. "They get
no happiness out OF life and are Just
in a condition to be attacked by al
most any disease. They need a VI
tality-making and strength-creating
tonic.
Now at our expense we want to
ask every such woman in North
Yakima to try our cod liver oil
preparation, Vinol, which contains
in a highly concentrated form all OF
the medicinal elements of cod liver
oil. but no oil or grease. It is de-
licious to take, creates healthy ap-
petite, makes pure, rich, red blood
and gives strength and vigor to
every organ of the body better than
any medicine we have ever sold in
our store. and when a woman is in
poor condition 1t makes life worth
living. When we say at our ex-
pense.' we mean that If the medicine
you buy from us and pay for does
not benefit you, we will refund every
cent paid us for It."

What makes town grow is an in
teresting thing to study, and it is
something difficult to settle, says the
Albany Herald Undoubtedly a har-
monious united effort of the citizens
working together in peace has con-
siderable to do with it, The loyalty
of the people of city to its interests
is splendid thing The prestige of
good residences and fine appearing
business houses has its place. A rep
utation for good morals and a clean
government needs to be commended
A great many people in going to a
new place are particular about
whether it is a good city in which to
bring up their children, and keep
them from evil innuences. Men start
ing new industries like to feel that
they will receive the support of the
people of the city, as they have a
right to do. A city grows through
the power of advertising in different
forms, and there are many things
that conduce to increase of popula-
ton, besides location and natural ad-
vantages.

EDUCATION FOR THE MASSES.

In bulletin No. from the depart
ment of instruction, Hon. F. A. Cot
ton, state superintendent states the
problem to be solved is as follows:
"The problem of education today
is two-fold: Cd There is the prob
lem of reaching all the people, and
(2) there is the problem of complete
education for each individual. Gov
eminent of all the people, by all the
people, presupposes the education
of all the people. If this nation is
to endure, all its people must be
educated. They must be intelligent,
temperate, industrious, skillful and
constantly employed, IL they are to
be prosperous and happy. These
qualities come only through educa-
ton. With all our boosted democ-
racy and our free schools. education
has not hitherto reached all of our
population. From the primary
grade to the graduating class in the
high school the story is one Of con-
slant diminution in numbers. For
one reason and another pupils drop
out all along the line, and 1t is the
few instead of the many who profit
by the provision that is made. Along
with the fact that the masses are
not reached there is the fact that a
chance for complete education is
not provided. Perhaps the solution
of the first phase of the problem lies
in the solution of the second phase.
II the methods, processes and pro-
visions were ever sufficient, they are
not sufficient now. Commercial
prosperity. competition, cosmopoli-
tan population, woman's advent in
to every calling, change of home
ideals. the coming of steam and
electricity, have brought new tastes
strong appetites. desire for enter
tainment and extravagant living.
And with 1t all a new educational
problem has been created. Home no.
tions have changed radically, and a
part OF education that formerly be-
longed to the home has been shifted
to the school, and the school must
assume the burden. at least for the
present"

In view of the fact that Yakima
county has in the past taken especial
delight in rubbing it into Ellens-
burg, it's no wonder the feeling of
hatred exists and that our people
take kindly to nothing Yakima asks
of us. 1t certainly requires a great
deal of gall to ask favors of people
whom you are continually growing
over and disappearing in a public
manner. Strangers say that they
have been warned by Yakima peo-
pie to not stop off at Ellensburg;
that it was dangerous. they would be
held up. that the Kittitas valley was
an alkali bed and would grow moth
ing, and that Ellensburg was dead

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY.
NORTH YAKIMA GREETINGS.

1906 greetings, to the patrons of
The Morning Herald. The old year
has become history, glorious rec
ord of material prosperity and pro-
gress to the city of North Yakima
and it's euvirons.
Over two thousand added to the
city's population; many large bust
ness blocks built homes by the hun
dreds; two magnificent church edi-
fees; stately and commodious
school house, that has no superior
on this coast; two continental rail-
roads building into the city; the
large farms in the vicinity cut up
and sold in small tracts to actual
occupants; the various bank vaults
overlooking with coin; two active
and well-patronized daily papers, in
addition to the regular weekly jour-
nails; fine new, modern court house
and several fraternal halls under
construction; federal reclamation
for the whole valley, almost a GER
tainty all in all, healthy, happy,
prosperous community. 1905 has
been kind, and it now rests with us
to reap greater rewards and benefits
from the coming year.
The opportunity is at hand, to be
grasped by concerted, harmonious,
intelligent action. There is no place
for the loafer or drone in this busy
hive. North Yakima has gifts with
out precedent to bestow, but the
''grafter" need not apply. Our peo-
pie know the ring of the true coin,
base metal is soon detected and
thrown aside. For all true men and
women this city offers unrivaled adj
vantages The Morning Herald in
vites all such to come and share the
great possibilities at hand and assist
in making this city in every way and
manner worthy of the glorious and
influential future which is its as
sured and certain destiny.

Does it ever occur to many of the
fathers and mothers who send their
children to the public schools that
they are intrusting to the teachers of
these schools the most important
of all the years of their children's
lives? There are few positions in
the world so full of responsibility as
the one of a teacher, whether the
teacher be in a primary grade or
professor in a college. Indeed, the
college professor has a far smaller
chance to influence the lives of his
pupils than has the teacher in a
small country school. 1t is seldom
that he comes into contact with his
pupils in social way, and they re-
spect him more as fountain of
learning than as a man whose ex-
ample is to be followed through
life. One of the greatest things
that helps America to be the really
great nation that it is, is the fact
that we have in the ranks of our
teachers so many men and women of
high intellect and who may be
looked up to by their pupils as an
example from which they may de-
rive benefit. North Yakima has to-
day many Of these men and women
within her limits, in the name Of the
city and of each father and mother
in this community let us thank them
for the many blessings that they can
and do bestow on the children under
them in the course of each school
year.

THE WARNER PEAR.

This valuable pear is thus de-
scribed by W. S. Smith in the Rush
vile American: II recently set out
two orchards in Henry county for
DR.. VIM. F. Boor, president of the
First National bank in New Castle.
Dr. Boor is Sc years old, and we
planted in the two orchards 80 ap-
pie trees. 8 cherries and pears.
The pears are his own producing,
and well worthy Of mentioning. He
calls them Warner after the man
who brought the seed over from
Baden in the old country. 1t grows
readily from the seed, and bears
true to itself. The sprouts that
come up from the roots are also
true Warmers. 1t has been in this
country about sixty years, and has
never blighted in the least. The
fruit is of medium size, above the
average for quality, and fruits when
ever other trees do. 1t is never un-
duly ripe at the core, and has no
specks Of wook in the flesh. The
core is small and the skin is excep-
tionally smooth. There will be ripe
pears and pears half grown on the
trees at the same time; so its season
runs from rather early in August to
rather late in September. And a
freeze that kills the bloom on most
OF the trees will miss portion Of
the Warner bloom, because the
bloom does not all appear at once.

The following editorial from the
Spokane Spokesman-Review is of
interest to North Yakima people:
Great pressure is brought to bear
by a soliciting committee that has
the water question in charge, to in
duee private claimants for water
rights to forego some portion of their
demands in order that the terms of
the interior department relative to
the construction of the Tietan project
may be fully met. 1t is hoped that
those individuals and companies who
have stood out may be persuaded to
accept the cutting off of "a few feet
of the amount of water they lay
claim to. Otherwise one of the most
important of the governments recla-
nation schemes will be almost ir-
reparably blocked.
The energy displayed by the
members of the soliciting committee
is commendable. They realize that
they have big task to accomplish in
a limited time. If advantage is not
taken now of the conditional allot-
ment for the reclamation fund, the
money may go in other directions,
where a great clamor is being made
for it, The people of the Yakima
valley owe it to themselves and to
the continued improvement of their
lands, whereby additional settlers
will be induced to locate there, to
reach a favorable decision on this
question.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

The proposed wedding gift Of

very well If she were in need of 1t.

is many times a millionaire, and, be-
sides, Miss Roosevelt possesse for
tune in her own right.-Tacoma

Miss Alice Roosevelt may be, and
doubtless is, very popular young
lady, but that is no reason why her
coming wedding should be made an
official or international affair, to be
attended by representatives of for
eign countries whose only interest in
either herself or her fiance comes
from the fact that she is the daught-
err Of the president. Homage to
royalty is to be expected, but it is
out of place when shown to the fam
lily of a president of republic. Miss
Roosevelt may be a most estimable
young woman, but. in country that
can claim a million other young
women just as estimable, there's no
reason why people shout act spec
tacularly silly just because she's
planning to be married.

PETITIONS ARE READY.
Kansas Avenue Property Owners Are
Pushing Asphalt Plans.

The petition for repaving Kansas
avenue with asphalt will be presented
to the council this evening. When the
petition will be turned in it viii have
the signatures of owners of upwards Of
1000 lineaI feet of property on Kan
saS avenue.
It is expected that active work on
the repaving will commence in June.
G. W. Lampson, of Chicago, who rep
resents an Indianapolis manufacturing
company engaged in the manufacture
of asphalt plants, is in the city fgur-
ing with the property owners commit
tee for the sale of an asphalt plant of
the required size. He claims that the
cost of the plant will not exceed
Proctor's estimate of $10,500.
The committee is now in commune
cation with an asphalt expert en-
ployed by the government at Wash
ington, D. c., and it is probable that
he will be engaged. Expert help comes
high, and the washington man de-
mands $40 a day.
Petitions for seventeen blocks Of
brick pavement will also be present
ed They will be referred to the
streets and walks committee for &C
ton. Six petitions which were pre-
sented last week Thursday, and which
have been reported back favorably by
the streets and walks committee to
the council, this evening will come up
for final disposition. 1t is probable the
Thirteenth street paving, against
which remonstrances we're fled pre-

year. The total amount Of paving will
be kept within the 100000 mark.
