FIRST MEETING
IN BEREAN HALL
CONVENTION OPENS WITH A
MORNING SESSION
Or. Elmer Ellsworth Brown, President
Of National Council of Education,
Delivers Deeply Interest,"
ing Address

The first meeting of the convention was
really that of the national council of edu-
cation, which met in Berean hall, Audi
torium building. at $3.50 yesterday morn
ing. One of the features of the morning
was the address OF the president, DR.. Ell
mer Ellsworth Brown of Washington,
d. G.
DR.. Brown said in part:
1.-THE special duties devolving upon the
council of education are of so delicate
and critical character that they can be
properly performed only by those whose
main activity, so far as the national
association is concerned, is concentrated
for the time being upon the business Of
1T is in harmony with the main busi-
ness of the council that it should, from
year to year, present general survey OF
O. means of getting, from time to time, a
new perspective among the large educa-
tional needs u which the council has to
minister.
what is the field in which special in
vestigations may most profitably be car
ried on by the National Educational as
tional council? By collating the judg-
ments of the most successful teachers
and school administrators 1t can render
that most important service, the determi-
nation of widely approved standards of
educational practice. 1t can, moreover,
exercise great influence on the develop
which the standards of educational prac-
tive are to proceed, by bringing together
into direct and suggestive comparison the
best formulation of educational doctrine
which can be had. BY such presentation
and comparison it can facilitate that
wholesome process in the development of
all educational doctrine which is repre-
scented by the scriptural saying, Prove
all things hold fast that which is good
While no field of education is foreign to
the interest of the council its best work
will undoubtedly be done for the most
part in those inquiries in which it deals
with education represented by the
teaching profession and with those appli-
arces and processes with which the
teaching profession has mostly directly
to do
The remainder of the session was de-
voted to a discussion of Public School
Finance: What Next p Jesse D. Burks,
principal of the teachers training school,
Albany. N Y, led the discussion, in which
the following educators also took part:

nv? This is an inquiry not yet

and discovery? This is an inquiry not yet
fully answered, nor can it be until ma
turer results have been reached in the de-
Velopment of higher education.
rs democracy favorable TO the enthu-
siasm of the scholar? This, too, is
question that still awaits answer. In all
ages that history pronounces. great, the
scholar has stood forth with torch in
hand to guide men to the fountains of
living waters and the serene heights of
intellectual and spiritual outlook and in
spiration,, Other men may lie down to
plowed or by the heaps of metal which
they have dug from the mine, but the
scholar. like the Christ, seeks the noun
tain side and the night and the silence,
and when he comes to mingle with the
people and to put his hands TO his daily
task it is with the touch of power. His
soul grips the commonplace and trans
fuses il with the light of the spirit
Democracy cannot do without the
scholar"

COUNCIL REVIEWS
NEW ASSESSMENT 7

Today the city council as board of
equalization will begin reviewing the as
sessments.
City Attorney Hewitt has been invited
to appear, as many corporations will have
representatives on hand to fight their as
sessment, made last month.
Some of the protests already filed are:
The w. P. Jeffries comnany which was
assessed for $500 for Improvement in the
Baker tract, will claim that there should
be no assessment.
Edward Zobelein thinks S2500 for his i'm
provements on his Main street tract is too
high; $3.50 would be fairer.
Adolph Ramish, assessed for $4,000 on
Main street; near Third, wants it cut in
half.
Star tract cut from 1000 to $1,000.
City Assessor Walter Mallard says he
will stick to his figures and oppose any
reductions.
Councilman Walter Wren will preside
over the session today.

FRANCIS LEUPP
TALKS TO CROWD
AT NIGHT SESSION

The evening session of the convention
was preceded by f1fteen-minute organ
recital. Prof. Bruce Gordon Kingsley
played a selection from 'Euryanthe.
During the recital yesterday afternoon the
big organ broke down, and ii was some
time before il could be repaired; but last
night no such catastrophe marred the con-
cert. The united German male choruses OF
the city, under the leadership of Henry
Schoenefeld, rendered several German
songs that called forth an encore from the
audience.
Hon. Francis E. Leupp, United States
commissioner of Indian affairs, delivered
a brief address on his department. By
series of humorous and interesting anec-
dotes Mr.. Leupp illustrated phases OF
Indian life and dissipated many current
fallacies which mark the white mans idea
of his red brother. Mr.. Leupp said:
You have millions of children to edu-
cate. 1 have about 100000, but a good
many of them are grownups, which makes
the task more difficult. The Indian is a
grownup child. He has the physical build
of a man and the mental qualifications Of
a boy.
The Chief Difficulty
'The chief difficulty we find in dealing
with the Indians is the difference between
the two races. This is caused by the diff
ferent ideas Of the red man held by the
two sections of the country. In the east
the philanthropic folk consider the Indian
a perfect creature who should be given
everything he wants The western view
Is ludl ne Is a pour WTelCHEu creature, ana
when they go to the very limits of gem
erosity they treat him like an ordinary
dog"
Hon. Elmer Ellsworth Wood United
States commissioner of education, deliv-
cred brief address on educational work.
Mrs. Ella Flagg Young delivered report
on the educational progress during the
past two years. She said;
American lack of appreciation of the
need of greater outlay of money in ad-
vancing the intellectual and spiritual side
of education is the cause of the general
uneasiness regarding the results of our
educational system.
'The empowering of certain state nor
mai schools to grant degrees indicates
subjects of manual training, construction
work, nature study, and school gardening
are ever to be organized to meet the re-
quirementS of educational theory the or
ganizing will be done by the normal
schools.
An Aid to School System
Public demand for preparation in the
high schools for work enabling graduates
to become Immediately self supporting is
bringing about a combination Of technical
and academic training on equal terms for
girls as well as boys.

INTO CITYS PAVEMENTS

Steps will be taken by the city to force
the use of rubber tires on auto trucks
The council yesterday instructed the city
attorney to prepare an ordinance on the
subject
The recommendation of the board Of
public works was as follows:
''This board has had its attention called
to the damage being done to the paved
streets by automobile trucks running over
the same without being equipped with
rubber tires.
I'VE respectfully recommend to your
honorable body that an ordinance be
adopted prohibiting the driving of auto
mobile trucks over the paved streets of
this city without equipping the said trucks
with rubber tires and providing in the
said ordinance a suitable penalty for the
violation of its provisions"

WOMAN'S QUICK WIT
SAVES HER FROM DEATH

Her quick wit probably saved Mrs: F.
Kiefer of Robey, Texas, who is attending
the N. E. A. convention, from being
ground TO death or serious injury under
the wheels of an electric car at Fifth and
Spring streets yesterday afternoon.
Hemmed in by a jam of cars while
crossing the street. she stepped from in
front of one directly in front of another
which was turning the corner at high
speed Mrs. Kiefer heard the car coming
just in time to leap on the fender to
which she clung. Had she hesitated an
instant the woman would have been
crushed by the cars.

CHINESE PHYSICIAN
PAYS FINE IN COURT

Tom She Bin, the we'll known Chinese
physician, who was charged by the state
board of pharmacy with practicing medi-
cine without a license, went to Justice
Roses court of his own accord yesterday
forenoon, pleaded guilty to the charge
and paid fine of 800.
Bin was arrested about three weeks ago.
when the board started it's crusade
against Chinese doctors who refused to
get a license or were unable to get one
Bin at first pleaded not guilty and de-
manded a jury trial. He engaged the law
firm of Jones & Weller to defend him.
The case was set for trial for today, but
Bin put stop to court proceedings by
pleading guilty.
His reason for doing this was not given,
but a Chinese friend said that Bin
thought it would be cheaper to pay his
fine than to pay his lawyers a $500 fee
and run the chance of conviction, with
the sentence that would be sure to fol-
low.

NIGHT IS TURNED
INTO FA|RYLAND
CENTRAL PARK MADE BOWER
OF BEAUTY
Visitors Delighted by Excellent Con-
cert Rendered by Royal Italian
Band-Electrc Decorations
Are Enhancing

Thousands of lighted Japanese lanterns
turned Central park into a veritable fairy
land last night for the huge garden fete,
which was styled in the program as an
overflow meeting from Temple Auditor
tum, where the main session of the even
ing was held But in reality 1t was
turned into a garden fete, the Royal
Italian band dispensing a program of
music from the band stand.
Central park certainly never presented
such beautiful and enchanting appear
ance as last night in honor of the N.E.A
1t was as if fairy had fitted in and out
light here and there. Thousands of the
Japanese lanterns were strung in and
among. the trees, while high up and al
most invisible were electric lights with
red globes, like little fitting firefies of
the night, above and surmounting all.
There were lanterns of red and lanterns
OF blue and lanterns of almost every coa-
ceivable hue, hung from tree to tree, in
among the limbs, outlining the confines
of the park, and above and surmounting
all pyramid effect of the lanterns at
tached to the tall flag pole from which
fioated the Stars and Stripes
The huge frowning cannon showed forth
III all its maSSiVeness and the statue in
all its whiteness was relieved by the
many-colored lights.
Band Delights Visitors
The efforts of those interested in the
decoratio of the park were, met with
IN praise for the minds that had trans
formed plain everyday Central park, the
down town breathing spot, into such
thing of beauty.
The park with its wealth of foliage and
Lighted lanterns, was only set off by the
rows of electric lights on the streets and
without exception the delegates were
more than delighted with the electrical
display arranged in their honor.
The Royal Italian band assisted in
drawing the large crowd that thronged
the park long before the hour of opening
The following was the program:
March, American Beauty" 20. Vessel
tic Dance (MascagnO; grand selection
Faust (Gounod); solo by De Dominican
Rarilffi; selection from "Giaconda" (Pou-
chellD; THE Last Hope" (Moraima); ;
Spanish Dance" Espinot) Grand
American Fanafaire" (Bendox).
The numbers were enthusiastically ap-
plauded and the band was generous in
its encores.
A noticeable feature was that the seats
in front of the band stand were filled at
an early hour by men, while the dele
gates coming from the Auditorium pro-
menade found seats as best they could on
the lawn. The band concert proved a
popular outdoor feature and many ex-
pressed a wish that it might be repeated

THE CHINESE SUFFERERS.

There is an organized effort be
ing made, headed by j. P. Morgan
Jacob Schaff and other millionaires
Of New York city, to collect funds
to send to China to relieve those
suffering for want Of food.
1t has not been very long since
China invested several millions in
the latest improved rifles, which
fact would suggest the question OF
the propriety of taking care of any
nations poor so as to enable it to
purchase munitions of war.
Aside from this question how.
ever, there is good reason for hest.
tating about donating to this fund,
is the fact that in the home city of
Morgan, Schaff and their pretended
philantrophic CO. workers, are thou
sands of needy and deserving peo-
pie who have first call Oh their
munifcence.
In every city, town and hamlet
in this country, reside the poor and
needy whose wants call for all the
help the really charitably inclined
can relieve without going thousands
of miles and across seas to find OBJ
jects Of charity.
There is too much of that kind
charity as exemplified by the man
who sent fifty dollars to the San
Francisco sufferers and within
thirty days wanted a neighbor
widow woman to give him a chat
tie mortgage on her household
goods to secure a debt due him of
four dollars.
Charity begins at home and the
man or woman who is truly desir-
GUS of helping the poor will find
an opportunity to tax their gener-
osity to the limit by helping the
needy at home-perhaps their next
